Applied AIFreedom Holding is developing a $2bn sovereign AI hub in Kazakhstan
A $2bn, 100MW "sovereign" AI hub in Kazakhstan is another data point that high-capex AI infrastructure is regionalizing, not just centralizing in US hyperscale campuses. If you're planning multi-year AI workloads, start mapping exposure and optionality across emerging compute geographies, not just cloud SKUs.
Applied AIAI agents tricked by a rogue downloads file into running dangerous malware
Agents blindly executing instructions from a downloaded AGENTS.md file is the classic "read, trust, run" vulnerability now automated at scale. If you're piloting agentic systems, treat file-sourced instructions as untrusted input and put explicit policy, sandboxing, and human review between "read" and "execute."
