Applied AIDisrupting a Criminal Scam Operation
AI-native fraud is now organized enough that labs are running counter-intel ops against specific scam shops. If your product touches payments, dating, or gambling, assume you’re already in an arms race with LLM-augmented fraud rings and budget for continuous abuse tooling, not one-off rules.
Applied AIGoogle rolls back AI Google Earth feature a day after launch
A one-day rollback of the Google Earth Nano Banana 2 AI feature reinforces that generative layers on canonical data products face zero margin for error.
