In today’s episode, we explore five compelling stories shaping the future of technology and society. First, we delve into the alarming surge of infostealer malware exposing 16 billion login credentials, fueled by widespread access to hacking tools. Next, we examine a landmark move by the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency requiring major mortgage lenders to incorporate cryptocurrency into their loan risk assessments, signaling a shift toward digital assets in housing finance. We then spotlight OpenAI’s identification of Beijing-backed Zhipu AI as a formidable global competitor in the ongoing AI race. Following that, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff reveals how AI now manages up to half of the company’s workload, marking a profound “digital labor revolution.” Finally, we discuss the controversial project approved by the Wellcome Trust to synthesize human DNA from scratch—an initiative that promises medical breakthroughs while raising serious ethical questions.
