Artificial neurons successfully communicate with living brain cells

Engineers at Northwestern University have taken a striking leap toward merging machines with the human brain by printing artificial neurons that can actually communicate with real ones. These flexible, low-cost devices generate lifelike electrical signals capable of activating living brain cells, a breakthrough demonstrated in mouse brain tissue.

Quantum AI just got shockingly good at predicting chaos

Researchers have shown that blending quantum computing with AI can dramatically improve predictions of complex, chaotic systems. By letting a quantum computer identify hidden patterns in data, the AI becomes more accurate and stable over time. The method outperformed standard models while using far less memory. This could have big implications for fields like climate science, energy, and medicine.

Researcher drops two more Microsoft Defender zero-days, all three now exploited in the wild

The security researcher who earlier this month published a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for a zero-day privilege escalation vulnerability in Microsoft Defender is back with two more. The first, dubbed “RedSun,” is another privilege escalation flaw in the same platform. The second, “UnDefend,” allows a standard user to block Microsoft Defender from receiving signature updates or disable it entirely (if Microsoft pushes a major Defender update). And, according to Huntress researchers, all three exploitation techniques have … More → The post Researcher drops two more Microsoft Defender zero-days, all three now exploited in the wild appeared first on Help Net Security.

GitLab 18.11 brings agentic AI to security fixes, CI pipelines, and delivery analytics

GitLab has released GitLab 18.11, expanding agentic AI across the entire software lifecycle with security remediation, pipeline configuration, and delivery analytics. AI-generated code moves faster than the systems around it can keep up with, creating the AI paradox: faster code generation without faster delivery, security, or operations to match. As code volume grows, so does the backlog of pipelines to configure, security findings to remediate, and delivery questions to answer. GitLab 18.11 helps address those … More → The post GitLab 18.11 brings agentic AI to security fixes, CI pipelines, and delivery analytics appeared first on Help Net Security.
