Tech report: AI risks, Samsung foldables gain market share, Sorkin directs Social Network follow-up

Corporate executives are encouraging employees to embrace artificial intelligence.

(LILAMAX)- Corporate executives are encouraging employees to embrace artificial intelligence, but many leaders aren’t using the tools themselves. The New York Times reports that decision-making and meeting oversight, common executive tasks, often don’t align with AI’s strengths.

Meanwhile, Samsung is gaining ground on Apple in the smartphone market as consumers show growing interest in folding phones. Last month, Samsung unveiled two new models: one that transforms into a tablet and another that combines a classic flip-phone design with modern features. Analysts say Apple is preparing to respond with a slimmer iPhone next month and a potential foldable model in 2026.

In cybersecurity news, Google, which serves 1.8 billion Gmail users globally, issued a warning about a “new wave of threats” fueled by AI. The company highlighted indirect prompt injections, where hackers exploit Google’s own AI, Gemini, to access users’ passwords without their knowledge. Tech expert Scott Polderman explained that these attacks leverage hidden messages in emails to trick the AI into revealing sensitive information.

Hollywood insiders report that Aaron Sorkin is set to direct The Social Network Part II for Sony Pictures. While labeled a sequel, sources say the film will serve as a follow-up to the original, exploring the early history of the social media giant. The project is still in development with no release date announced.
