Gemini models have always kept up with AI advancements. From text-based chatbots in 2023, Gemini has evolved into a multimodal system capable of understanding and generating text, audio, images… and now videos. AI video generation is no longer a standalone tool. With Gemini Omni, video creation becomes mainstream. Gemini Omni isn’t important because it generates videos. It’s important because video generation is becoming just another capability of an AI assistant When used correctly, the use cases for it can actually be very creative (if you can look past the guardrails). Sentence or Image → Video Yeah your read it right.…
Introduction We are excited to announce that Deloitte Japan is beginning production validation of Cisco Foundation AI’s Foundation-sec-1.1-8B-Instruct model for its security operations. By using this security-focused, open-source large language model (LLM), Deloitte Japan has automated key tasks such as security alert analysis, prioritization, and false positive reduction. This adoption highlights how open-source generative AI can enhance traditional security operations and offers practical insight into implementing purpose-driven workflows with cost-effective LLMs. Background As a managed security service provider, Deloitte Japan receives numerous security alerts from customer environments every day and must analyze and triage them. Some of these tasks are labor-intensive, such as analyzing raw alert logs and drafting summaries for each alert. Others require specific security knowledge and experience, like identifying false…
Ravie LakshmananJun 13, 2026Vulnerability / Enterprise Software Splunk has released security updates to address a critical security flaw in Splunk Enterprise that could be exploited to conduct unauthenticated file operations and even remote code execution. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-20253, is rated 9.8 on the CVSS scoring system. “In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.2.4 and 10.0.7, an unauthenticated user could create or truncate arbitrary files through a PostgreSQL sidecar service endpoint,” Splunk said in an alert this week. “The vulnerability exists because the PostgreSQL sidecar service endpoint lacks authentication controls, allowing any network-reachable user to invoke file operations without credentials.”…
The groups are calling for clear guidance, technical standards and a mechanism to protect both households and the electricity distribution network Leading electrical industry bodies have warned that plug-in solar photovoltaic (PV) systems should not be rushed into the UK consumer market until safety, regulatory and technical frameworks are fully established, despite government plans to make the technology widely available. The warning comes in a joint statement issued by the Electrical Contractors’ Association (ECA), Electrical Safety First (ESF), the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), NICEIC and SELECT, following government announcements aimed at accelerating access to low-cost renewable energy technologies.…
In the construction industry, AI (artificial intelligence) has become the centerpiece of nearly every technology conversation today. However, amid all the excitement surrounding AI’s capabilities, we are sometimes overlooking a more fundamental issue. The future of AI will not be determined by technology alone. It will be determined by trust. Recently, I caught up with Bryan Reimer, research scientist at MIT’s Center for Transportation and Logistics, on The Peggy Smedley Show. Our conversation explored many of the challenges surrounding AI, from governance and workforce disruption to safety and accountability. What struck me most was not a discussion about what AI…
I work from home, so I typically listen to audio through headphones or AirPods. But I’ve always wanted a desk speaker that doesn’t take up too much space, which made the new Sonos Play a fitting first Sonos product to review. The Play, launched in March, is Sonos’s first new device in more than a year. The $299 speaker is a hybrid: part home speaker, part portable. It sits on your desk in a pill-shaped dock, but at 1.3 kilograms, with a “utility loop” on the back, it’s easy to carry around the house or take outside. Image Credits: SonosImage…
Artificial intelligence in healthcare has moved beyond experimentation into a phase of structured investment and scaled deployment. Globally, nearly half of clinicians reported using AI for work-related purposes in 2025, which includes summarizing notes, assisting with documentation, improving search within records, and supporting staff. However, a significant problem with AI development is that many smart tools rely on cloud-based infrastructure. To generate responses, they often require users to send information to external providers through APIs or public platforms. For providers that process lots of sensitive medical or personal information, this creates important questions about healthcare AI privacy, compliance, and data…
Park Systems Corp., a global leader in atomic force microscopy (AFM) and nanometrology, today announced the successful completion of a KRW 100 billion (approximately USD 72 million) strategic financing through the issuance of perpetual bonds with warrants, with Kiwoom Securities and Dominus Investment Management each subscribing KRW 50 billion. The proceeds will support the company’s production capacity expansion and broader strategic initiatives as demand for precision nanometrology continues to grow across the semiconductor and advanced materials industries. The bonds were issued at par with 0% interest for the first three years, followed by a step-up interest structure. Warrants are exercisable…
