Yet the G20, in its infinite wisdom, responded by launching a “TechSprint” to “build trust” in finance. Sounds lovely, doesn't it?

Liann Zhang's debut novel, Julie Chan Is Dead, isn't just another thriller. It's a stark, unsettling mirror reflecting our increasingly blurred reality online.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) recently adopted ID.me. This Virginia-based company needs no introduction, as you already know about its identity verification services based on face biometrics.

An average 58% increase in cyber incidents in New Zealand. Phishing attacks on the rise. Unauthorized access attempts becoming commonplace. It should be enough to make any business leader, any public servant, toss and turn at night. When Saviynt, a US-based identity and governance platform provider, announces its partnership with...
The Wild West. And so, that’s what DeFi is like sometimes, right? Fortunes gained and lost in a heartbeat. What happens when the cowboys are replaced by code – by tireless, relentless AI agents capable of executing complex strategies faster than any human? We're not talking about a few bad...
Remember the early days of the internet? Wild West, right? That’s how DeFi seemed just a few years ago. “Rug pulls” started entering the broader crypto lexicon. That’s starting to change and for the better. We know regulation can be a buzzkill but it’s the only way to find out...

Humanity Protocol’s H token has skyrocketed, partially fueled by...

Zuckerberg wants AGI. Personal superintelligence, he calls it. An AI that essentially runs your life. Sounds convenient, right? Maybe. But let's be brutally honest: entrusting the keys to your existence to a single, centralized entity – especially one with Zuckerberg's track record – is a recipe for disaster. Well, it’s...
Just as Mark Zuckerberg made headlines with a big pivot to the now overly-hyped Metaverse, he’s undertaking another big pivot.
