A security research team just used Claude Mythos to identify the first known exploit in Apple’s M5 chip. They needed physical access to the device to use it, the vulnerability has since been patched, and I don’t think it should be seen as a huge threat. But it is a stark warning that in this AI age, attackers can find and exploit system vulnerabilities at a dangerously fast rate. While widely reported, the proof-of-concept exploit was of limited significance because it required direct physical access to the target device; what matters most is that it is a very real illustration of the new security reality. AI doesn’t care whose side you’re on AI boosts productivity for everyone, including attackers. In this case, the technology augmented the human security research team’s efforts, enabling them to identify a weakness in Apple’s security system. This won’t be the first time AI gets used to identify hard-to-find bugs and certainly won’t be the last. This should be a real concern to any p

You can usually measure a society by the way it treats its most vulnerable populations, and technology often can help people live better, more autonomous lives. Apple firmly believes that, and this year’s raft of accessibility announcements introduced to mark Global Accessibility Awareness Day shine a light on that belief. The company has won a string of awards that recognize its work, including praise from the National Federation of the Blind, the American Foundation for the Blind, the Cerebral Palsy Foundation, and the National Association of the Deaf. These tools matter to everyone, of course; as we age and our faculties decline, the accessibility solutions Apple creates today promise better tomorrows. AI + Accessibility + Apple With WWDC just weeks away, Apple’s latest accessibility features promise powerful technologies for all. Most will arrive with the 27 series of Apple operating systems — and many of the most powerful tools lean deeply into AI and Apple Intelligence. “The ac

Jamf has a new CEO: former CTO Beth Tschida. She succeeds previous CEO John Strosahl, who himself replaced Dean Hager on his retirement. Tschida has served as interim CEO since March. Jamf-using IT pros should be pleased. Tschida is an engineer who joined the company in 2018 as senior vice president, engineering and became CTO four years later. She has led the company’s expansion into security as well as its ongoing mission in device management. She takes the helm as device management, and IT more generally, struggle with the potential and the peril of artificial intelligence deployment across industry. ‘We are making AI work on Apple’ “Over the last eight years, I’ve had the privilege of working with an exceptional team to build the leading platform for managing and securing Apple at work,” said Tschida in a statement. “Now, AI is reshaping how organizations work, and we are making AI work on Apple. We’re building autonomous management so devices manage themselves within boundaries, o
