OpenAI has announced at the Davos forum that it plans to launch its first-ever consumer device in the second half of 2026, calling it the highlight of the year for the company.

According to multiple leaks and industry speculation, the upcoming device is expected to be a small, wearable form factor designed to seamlessly integrate AI into everyday life. Unlike traditional gadgets, it may not rely on screens. Instead, the device is rumored to listen, look, and chat, using advanced sensors, microphones, and AI models to understand its surroundings and interact naturally with users.

The vision appears to be an always-available AI companion—one that can observe context, respond in real time, and assist without requiring constant manual input. If these leaks are accurate, the device could represent a major shift away from phones and toward ambient, hands-free AI experiences.

Financial experts are warning that artificial intelligence research company OpenAI may be headed for a cash crunch by mid-2027, as rapid infrastructure growth and escalating compute expenses take their toll.

A new report citing internal OpenAI documents claims the AI firm is on track to post roughly $14 billion in losses in 2026. That projected loss is said to be about three times higher than the company’s earlier estimates for 2025.

OpenAI has announced plans to introduce advertising in ChatGPT in the United States. Ads will appear on the free version and the low-cost Go tier, but not for Pro, Business, or Enterprise subscribers.

The company says ads will be clearly separated from chatbot responses and will not influence outputs. It has also pledged not to sell user conversations, to let users turn off personalised ads, and to avoid ads for users under 18 or around sensitive topics such as health and politics.

Still, the move has raised concerns among some users. The key question is whether OpenAI’s voluntary safeguards will hold once advertising becomes central to its business.

Common Sense Media, a nonprofit known for age-based ratings and digital safety research for families, has warned that AI-powered toys pose unacceptable risks to children.

In a new study, the group tested popular AI companion toys used by kids aged 6 to 13 and found they were designed to encourage emotional attachment while collecting extensive personal data.

The report concludes that today’s AI toys are developmentally inappropriate and offer limited educational benefits compared to traditional play.

However, industry groups and some educators argue the findings may overstate risks, that well-designed AI toys with strict safeguards could support curiosity and learning rather than replace human interaction.

Thread 'Vibecoding: a beginner's guide'

So after a couple interesting YouTube videos, I decided to embark down an AI vibecoding rabbithole to see where it leads.

I'm interested in web development, so after a chat with Gemini I decided to install Local (to host a copy of my Wordpress website and back up snapshots to Google Drive) and then do development using Cursor (which is supposed to be the new flavour-of-the-month when it comes to AI-powered IDEs).

My personal coding background is limited to one year of Computer Science at University, soooo JavaScript, Java, HTML and CSS. Over the years doing all the coding myself I've had...

The North Korean threat actor known as Konni has been observed using PowerShell malware generated using artificial intelligence (AI) tools to target developers and engineering teams in the blockchain sector.

The phishing campaign has targeted Japan, Australia, and India, highlighting the adversary's expansion of the targeting scope beyond South Korea, Russia, Ukraine, and European nations, Check Point Research said in a technical report published last week.

Active since at least 2014, Konni is primarily known for its targeting of organizations and individuals in South Korea. It's also tracked as Earth Imp, Opal Sleet, Osmium, TA406, and Vedalia.

In November 2025, the Genians Security Center (GSC) detailed the hacking group's targeting of Android devices by exploiting Google's asset tracking service, Find Hub, to remotely reset victim devices and erase personal data from them, signaling a new escalation of their tradecraft.

As recently as this month, Konni has been observed distributing spear-phishing emails containing malicious links that are disguised as harmless advertising URLs associated with Google and Naver's advertising platforms to bypass security filters and deliver a remote access trojan codenamed EndRAT.

The campaign has been codenamed Operation Poseidon by the GSC, with the attacks impersonating North Korean human rights organizations and financial institutions in South Korea. The attacks are also characterized by the use of improperly secured WordPress websites to distribute malware and for command-and-control (C2) infrastructure.
