AI systems drop safety filters as conversations continue, increasing the risk of harmful or offensive replies. A new report revealed that users can easily make AI tools disclose restricted or dangerous information with simple tactics. Simple Prompts Defeat Safety Barriers Cisco studied large language models (LLMs) used by OpenAI, Mistral, Meta, Google, Alibaba, Deepseek, and Microsoft. Researchers wanted to learn how quickly each system would reveal unsafe or illegal data. They conducted 499 “multi-turn attacks,” asking multiple questions in each session to wear down the AI’s restrictions. Each chat contained between five and ten exchanges. The team compared responses from…
Australia will enforce a new law on December 10 banning children under 16 from holding accounts on major social platforms. The government has now added Reddit and livestreaming site Kick to the restricted list. They join Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Threads, TikTok, X, and YouTube under this rule. Communications Minister Anika Wells announced the update on Wednesday, calling the measure a “world-first legal obligation.” She warned that platforms failing to block underage users could face fines of up to 50 million Australian dollars (€28.3 million). “We have met with several companies this month to ensure full compliance,” Wells told reporters in…
Authorities closed Brussels Zaventem Airport on Tuesday night after multiple drone sightings above the airfield. Belgium’s public broadcaster VRT reported that officials suspended all departures and arrivals following the initial sighting. The airport briefly reopened before closing again after a second drone appeared.

A spokesperson for Skeyes, Belgium’s civil airspace authority, confirmed the first sighting occurred around 8 p.m. local time, forcing flights to divert to Ostend-Bruges and Charleroi Brussels South. The drone intrusions occurred as both NATO and the European Union maintained…
Nigeria faces renewed tension after U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the Pentagon to prepare for possible military intervention. His comments linked the move to alleged Christian persecution in the country, drawing both support and outrage. Trump warned on social media that the U.S. might halt all aid and launch attacks to “wipe out Islamic terrorists” if Nigeria failed to protect Christians. He said any U.S. action would be “fast, vicious, and sweet.” President Bola Ahmed Tinubu rejected the idea of foreign intervention but offered to meet Trump for talks on counterterrorism and security cooperation. He stressed that any partnership must…
A powerful landslide killed at least 21 people and left more than 30 missing in Kenya’s Rift Valley on Saturday. Continuous heavy rainfall triggered the disaster in the hilly region of Chesongoch, Elgeyo Marakwet County. Authorities confirmed that the mudslides destroyed over 1,000 homes and forced hundreds to flee. The area has faced relentless downpours during Kenya’s short rain season. Rescue teams said blocked roads have slowed access to remote villages, and the government used helicopters to airlift 30 seriously injured survivors to a hospital in Eldoret City. Survivors Describe Panic and Chaos Residents reported hearing a thunderous roar before…
A new study from the University of Maryland and Microsoft found that artificial intelligence interprets Polish commands better than any other language. English, surprisingly, finished only in sixth place. Researchers tested 26 languages across major AI models, including those from OpenAI, Google Gemini, Qwen, Llama, and DeepSeek. “Our results were unexpected,” the researchers wrote. “English did not dominate performance as assumed. When handling longer texts, it placed sixth, while Polish ranked first overall.” AI Excels in a Language Humans Find Complex Polish achieved an impressive 88% accuracy rate in task completion, marking it as the most effective language for AI…
Surging demand for iPhones lifted Apple’s revenue during the three months ending in September, helping the company close its fiscal year with record profits. Apple beat Wall Street expectations despite challenges from a global trade war and fierce competition in artificial intelligence. Strong early sales of the iPhone 17 line fueled the performance. Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, announced that the company achieved record September-quarter revenue of $102.5 billion, including all-time highs for iPhone and Services. Boosted by this success, Apple earned $27.5 billion (€23.8bn), nearly twice last year’s profit. Shares rose 2% in after-hours trading following the announcement. Apple enhanced…

Massive destruction across the Gaza Strip has made it nearly impossible for Hamas to recover the bodies of remaining Israeli hostages buried under rubble. On Saturday, the first Egyptian convoy carrying bulldozers and excavators entered Gaza to assist in the search. Under the U.S.-brokered ceasefire, Israel agreed to return 15 Palestinian bodies for every Israeli hostage’s body. So far, Israel has handed over 195 Palestinian bodies, while Hamas has returned 18 Israeli bodies. Earlier this month, Hamas released all 20 living Israeli hostages. U.S. President Donald Trump said he is “watching very closely” to ensure all bodies are returned within…
The Louvre secretly transferred part of its jewelry collection to the Bank of France vaults on Friday following last week’s audacious robbery. French radio network RTL reported that the move served as a precaution to prevent further thefts. Police escorted the operation as museum staff discreetly removed the pieces, including the famed “Crown Jewels” from the Apollo Gallery and other valuable items. The Bank of France vault, located 27 meters below its Paris headquarters, also stores 90% of the nation’s gold reserves. The transfer followed public outrage after the museum confirmed the theft of several historic jewels, forcing officials to…
