1. Big Tech: Apple Testing a ‘New GPT-Style AI Model’
Exciting news from Apple! Reports suggest the tech giant is secretly working on its own foundation AI model, code-named Ajax. Similar to popular models like ChatGPT and Bard, this project could lead to a powerful chatbot.
The in-house ChatGPT-like tool, developed under the Ajax framework, shows promise for internal use but, at this stage, won’t be accessible to the public due to privacy and security issues.

2. Leader Voice: Esti Peshin on Cyber in the AGI Era

3. Case Study: Agrivoltaic Systems Around the World 2+2=5
Agrivoltaic systems, where solar panels are integrated with agricultural land, have been gaining popularity globally. The dual use of the land generates additional benefits, above the obvious ones by improving agricultural resilience, increasing crop yields, and conserving water.
The article contains successful Agrivoltaic examples from Germany, the UK, and countries in East Africa.

4. Tech Abuse: Drug-Delivering Drones to Prisons
Recent statistics from Correctional Service Canada (CSC) reveal a concerning increase in drone activity around Canadian prisons, especially in delivering drugs, weapons, and other contraband to inmates.
In the United States, a similar issue with drone deliveries to prisons has emerged, and it’s challenging to accurately track incidents due to the lack of formal reporting policies and limited drone detection technology in the past.
Preventing these deliveries is complicated by a complex web of laws around surveillance, security, and privacy.
Solutions such as radar or cameras for counter-drone surveillance have been proposed, but the implementation varies among correctional institutions nationwide. Finding effective ways to combat this rising drone threat remains a challenge both in Canada and the US.
