Why did we choose this article?
A user-facing security hole could have copied private ChatGPT chats — anyone relying on Lockdown Mode for confidentiality (individuals, businesses, governments) needs to know the risk and confirm fixes.

Source: https://dailyai.com/2026/11/doj-stands-up-a-super-intelligence-task-force-for-ai-crime/
Why did we choose this article?

Source: https://dailyai.com/2026/11/google-backstops-19b-anthropic-lease-at-terawulf-campus/
Why did we choose this article?
Google underwriting a $19B data‑center lease changes the economics and control of major AI infrastructure — this affects competition, where data centers get built, and which companies influence the AI supply chain.

Why did we choose this article?
Perplexity's new always-on 'Teammates' let paying users run persistent AI agents that autonomously handle projects — a concrete change in how knowledge workers can delegate work, though it's gated by a costly subscription.
