Also: How to protect your privacy from Facebook – and what doesn’t work On Thursday, the company announced in a blog post that Meta will begin testing the new community notes system on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads with users in the US starting March 18,…

ZDNET’s key takeaways The EufyCam S3 Pro is available separately for $220 or in a two-pack with the HomeBase 3 for $550.

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET ZDNET’s key takeaways The Amegat Qi2 Wireless Charging and Cooling Pad is on sale on Amazon with a 30% off coupon for $34. This Qi2 wireless charger can charge an iPhone at the full 15W, and bring overheating devices down to 48°F/9°C continuously, even under heavy workloads.

Yuichiro Chino/Getty Images If you strip away all the buzzwords about enterprise artificial intelligence, such as “agentic AI,” the reality is that companies are learning what works in practice as they experiment with the technology, according to data tools giant Databricks. Also: 10 key reasons AI went mainstream overnight – and what happens next “We’re still learning where the right places are to put AI, where you can get the sweet spot of AI to help…

“And every few weeks we’ll continue to add to the library,” Puri says. SUSE also announced a partnership with Infosys today. The system integrator has the Topaz AI platform, which includes a set of services and solutions to help enterprises build and deploy AI applications.

“Big brother is watching you” is a catchphrase for the risk of large-scale surveillance. We could identify criminals walking on the street with widespread deployment of video, and the same technology could warn us against stepping into traffic. But the same stuff could help people stalk others, spy on people, and maybe expose some secrets we’d just as soon keep hidden. Given that the average person thinks that everything can be hacked, and that many…

ZDNET Amid growing concerns over Chinese AI models like DeepSeek, new research suggests that fears may be overblown – at least when it comes to data privacy. In fact, some popular US-based AI chatbots might be collecting even more of your personal information. When DeepSeek debuted its flagship open-source AI model in January, the American tech industry was thrown into hysteria. Some embraced the competition — claiming this is “AI’s Sputnik moment” — but others? Well,…

ebrublue10/Getty Images Cybercriminals are weaponizing artificial intelligence (AI) across every attack phase. Large language models (LLMs) craft hyper-personalized phishing emails by scraping targets’ social media profiles and professional networks. Generative adversarial networks (GAN) produce deepfake audio and video to bypass multi-factor authentication. Automated tools like WormGPT enable script kiddies to launch polymorphic malware that evolves to evade signature-based detection. These cyber attacks aren’t speculative, either. Organizations that fail to develop their security strategies risk being…

D-Wave published its results today, peer-reviewed in the journal Science. The classical supercomputer that D-Wave benchmarked against was the Frontier supercomputer at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory. It was, until recently, the most powerful supercomputer in the world but moved to second place in November. Two different groups of researchers published competing papers, claiming to have solved the same problem with classical computers. However, according to Baratz, the two competing groups —…
