Red Teaming AI to Address Emerging Cybersecurity Threats is becoming increasingly essential as AI agents grow more autonomous and interact with dynamic tools. Ken Huang, chief AI officer at DistributedApps.ai, emphasized the need for new threat modeling strategies, such as mixture threat modeling, which considers the inherent unpredictability of AI systems. Public-private collaboration is essential to combat cybercrime, according to Sanjay Virmani, special agent in charge of the FBI in San Francisco. Highlighting recent takedowns, Virmani emphasized that building strong relationships with private sector and international partners is critical for effective incident response and long-term prevention. Transforming cybersecurity through AI agents is becoming a reality, as these technologies prove vital in streamlining the software development life cycle. Jason Clinton, Chief Information Security Officer at Anthropic, highlighted how AI agents can help eliminate bugs early on, enhancing software quality and significantly reducing security vulnerabilities. However, he also cautioned that managing these agents—particularly in enforcing identity and access controls—poses a significant challenge.

A father identified only as Wade is mounting a desperate legal battle against Canada's assisted dying policies after his 28-year-old daughter, Marge, who is autistic and has ADHD but no diagnosed physical illness, was approved for medical assistance in dying (MAiD). Wade claims Marge is vulnerable and mentally unfit to make such a decision, challenging the legitimacy of her MAiD assessments and warning that she was influenced by online communities and a deeply ingrained belief that she was terminally ill.

Despite a temporary injunction that delayed her scheduled death in January 2024, a provincial court ultimately allowed her application to proceed, citing statutory limitations on judicial oversight of medical decisions. Wade’s appeal temporarily halted her third application, but he later withdrew it after Marge began starving herself in June. Now, with her most recent MAiD request approved, Wade fears his daughter’s death could happen at any time — a deeply personal case that has ignited national debate over the expansion of euthanasia laws to include non-terminal mental and cognitive conditions. The New York Yankees are expected to part ways with All-Star pitcher Marcus Stroman in what could be a costly decision for the franchise. Stroman, who was once on the trading block before the season began, remained with the team due to a wave of injuries to key starters, including Gerrit Cole, Clarke Schmidt, and Luis Gil. Despite this, Stroman has underperformed and is now sidelined, with manager Aaron Boone noting ongoing physical issues that delay his return. With the team still leading the AL East at 18-13 despite injuries, the Yankees may now feel it's the right time to move on from Stroman, potentially opening the door for mid-season acquisitions as they aim for a deep postseason run.

The promising rookie, who’s been one of Boston’s hottest bats this season, was scratched from Thursday night’s lineup against the Blue Jays due to right rib discomfort. His absence forced a last-minute lineup shuffle and coincided with a 4–2 loss at Rogers Centre. Manager Alex Cora described the issue as “day to day,” but the team is proceeding cautiously, especially after a similar rib injury sidelined Triston Casas for months last season. Campbell has been a consistent presence, slashing .301/.407/.495 across 123 plate appearances, and any time without him puts added pressure on an already inconsistent offense.

Meta Reality Labs Reports 6% Q1 Revenue Decline Amid Decreased Quest Sales. The company’s metaverse and wearables division generated $412 million in Q1 2025, down from $440 million in the same period last year.
