ARTEMIS Leads in AI-Powered Pentesting, Outperforming Human Experts

Redazione RHC 13/12/2025

Stanford researchers and their colleagues conducted an unusual experiment: they compared the performance of ten professional specialists and a set of autonomous AI agents in a real-world corporate pentest. The test was not conducted on a training bench, but on the live network of a large university with approximately 8,000 hosts spread across 12 subnets, including both public and VPN-protected areas. Any actions had to be performed with caution to avoid disrupting production services. The study focused on ARTEMIS , a novel framework for an AI agent that organizes work into teams : a central “leader” divides tasks, simultaneously launches subagents with

Redazione RHC 12/12/2025

Disney will invest $1 billion in OpenAI and officially license its characters for use in its Sora video generator. The deal comes amid a heated debate in Hollywood over how the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence is changing the entertainment industry and impacting the rights of content creators. Under the three-year licensing agreement, Sora users will be able to create short videos for social media featuring over 200 characters from the Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars universes . However, the terms of the agreement stipulate specific restrictions: the images and voices of actors associated with these franchises will not be used.

The Dark Side of AI: How Technology is Being Used to Control Humans

Sandro Sana 10/12/2025

Cory Doctorow says it with the clarity of someone who has studied the consequences of digital capitalism for years: AI, as it’s sold today, isn’t about enhancing humans. It’s about using them. And that’s a huge difference. Doctorow talks about centaurs and reverse-centaurs . The centaur is the romantic image of technology that amplifies man: the half-human, half-machine being who, thanks to hybridization, becomes more competent, faster, more effective. The reverse-centaur, on the other hand, is the modern nightmare: the machine in command and the human relegated to the role of corrective appendage , the organic element necessary only for: And this,

Microsoft CEO on AI Challenges

Redazione RHC 07/12/2025

In a conversation with Matthias Döpfner, CEO of Axel Springer, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella acknowledged that the Redmond-based company’s impressive growth is currently a limiting factor in the competition in artificial intelligence. The very large organizational structure, he explained, slows down the decision-making process and makes it more difficult to respond to rapid changes in the industry. Nadella compared the operations of large companies with those of startups, emphasizing how the latter operate with small teams, capable of moving from idea to development without lengthy hierarchical steps. According to the CEO, this agility allows small tech companies to innovate with a speed

Pat Gelsinger on Quantum Computing Impact on AI Future

Redazione RHC 07/12/2025

Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger has shared a series of assessments on the future of computing, and in particular, the evolution of artificial intelligence. In an interview with the Financial Times , Gelsinger argued that the current expansion of AI could come to a sudden halt following a breakthrough in quantum computing, capable of reshaping the entire technology sector. Gelsinger describes the relationship between conventional computing, AI-based systems, and quantum technologies as a kind of “trinity,” destined to profoundly redefine the digital ecosystem. In his view, quantum computers will become commonplace tools much more quickly than currently believed. This position contrasts sharply

AI-Generated Scams: New Threats with Deepfake Photos and Videos

Redazione RHC 07/12/2025

Criminals are increasingly using photos and videos from public sources to pass them off as evidence of an alleged kidnapping. The FBI warns that criminals are altering the images they find to make them look as real as possible, depicting a specific person being held against their will and then sending them to relatives along with threats . Often, these are completely fabricated stories, while the victim sleeps peacefully at home, unaware of what’s happening. But investigators are also noticing a more disturbing trend: scammers are monitoring missing persons posters, selecting photos of missing persons, and using them to pressure families. Essentially,

Cloudflare Blocks AI Bots: The Future of Internet Economy at Stake

Redazione RHC 05/12/2025

Since July 1st, Cloudflare has blocked 416 billion requests from artificial intelligence bots attempting to extract content from its customers’ websites. According to Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare, efforts to protect resources from unwanted crawling are already having a noticeable impact and could transform the traditional internet economy. The impetus for these measures was provided by the Content Independence Day initiative, launched by Cloudflare this summer in collaboration with major publishers and AI companies. Its essence is to block AI crawlers’ access to content by default, unless the model’s developers have entered into a separate paid agreement. Since July 2024,
