AI is reshaping how people plan and experience travel. From curated videos on Instagram Reels to booking engines that build entire itineraries in seconds, AI is becoming a powerful force in how journeys are imagined, booked, and lived. But this shift raises an important question: is AI giving travellers more freedom, or quietly steering their choices?Fahd Hamidaddin, Founding CEO of the Saudi Tourism Authority and President of the upcoming TOURISE Summit, believes AI can do both, speaking to AI News. In a wide-ranging conversation, he explained how AI is transforming travel discovery, personalisation, cultural exchange, and ethics—and why the industry…

Google DeepMind has deployed a new AI agent designed to autonomously find and fix critical security vulnerabilities in software code. The system, aptly-named CodeMender, has already contributed 72 security fixes to established open-source projects in the last six months.Identifying and patching vulnerabilities is a notoriously difficult and time-consuming process, even with the aid of traditional automated methods like fuzzing. Google DeepMind’s own research, including AI-based projects such as Big Sleep and OSS-Fuzz, has proven effective at discovering new zero-day vulnerabilities in well-audited code. This success, however, creates a new bottleneck: as AI accelerates the discovery of flaws, the burden on…

Researchers have developed a new attack that reveals privacy vulnerabilities by determining whether your data was used to train AI models.The method, named CAMIA (Context-Aware Membership Inference Attack), was developed by researchers from Brave and the National University of Singapore and is far more effective than previous attempts at probing the ‘memory’ of AI models.There is growing concern of “data memorisation” in AI, where models inadvertently store and can potentially leak sensitive information from their training sets. In healthcare, a model trained on clinical notes could accidentally reveal sensitive patient information. For businesses, if internal emails were used in training,…

Talks to implement Donald Trump’s 20-point plan for Gaza are under way.Hamas and Israel appear to have agreed to most of the conditions of US President Donald Trump’s 20-point ceasefire plan, which means there may be an end in sight to Israel’s devastating war on Gaza.But there is a lot that is not yet agreed upon, including how the withdrawal of Israeli troops will take place; the presence of an Israeli security buffer zone inside Gaza; and what the interim governing authority will look like.The ultimate question has also not been asked: When will Israel end its illegal occupation of…
