I spent years as an investigator with the Toronto Police and watched organizations pour money into firewalls, monitoring systems and security audits to protect against cybercriminals. Breaches still happened, but we generally understood the problem. We knew what we were defending, how attacks worked and how to reduce risk.

Today, most discussion about AI security focuses on how powerful models could help attackers find software vulnerabilities or automate cyberattacks. Those concerns are real, and they deserve attention, but are only half of the story.

Far less attention is paid to the question of how we secure the AI systems themselves.

If you have used a chatbot to draft a work email, asked an AI tool to summarize a report or let your phone suggest a reply to a text message, you have relied on the judgment of a machine. Most of us have done this without thinking twice.

As if the situation wasn’t bad enough for the Venezuelan people, they now have to contend with the aftermath of two devastating earthquakes.

In any event, it’s been roughly six months since the U.S. intervened militarily in Venezuela and illegally kidnapped then-President Nicolás Maduro. Where does the beleaguered country stand today?

If you were to listen to U.S. President Donald Trump, the Venezuelan people are now some of the happiest on the planet. “The people are very happy. They’re dancing in the streets because they have a lot of money coming in through the big oil companies that are all moving in,” he said unashamedly.

Have the lives and well-being of most Venezuelans substantially improved? Or, is it just more of the same under a different leader (Delcy Rodríguez) — and, more importantly, a Venezuela under American tutelage?
