Your developers are already running AI locally: Why on-device inference is the CISO’s new blind spot
For the last 18 months, the CISO playbook for generative AI has been relatively simple: Control the browser. Security teams tightened cloud access security broker (CASB) policies, blocked or monitored traffic to well-known AI endpoints, and routed usage through sanctioned gateways. The operating model was clear: If sensitive data leaves the network for an external API call, we can observe it, log it, and stop it. But that model is starting to break. A quiet hardware shift is pushing large language model (LLM) usage off the network and onto the endpoint. Call it Shadow AI 2.0, or the “bring your own model” (BYOM) era: Employees running capable models locally on laptops, offline, with no API calls and no obvious network signature. The governance conversation is still framed as “data exfiltration to the cloud,” but the more immediate enterprise risk is increasingly “unvetted inference inside the device." When inference happens locally, traditional data loss prevention (DLP) doesn’t see th

Intuit compressed months of tax code implementation into hours — and built a workflow any regulated-industry team can adapt
When the One Big Beautiful Bill arrived as a 900-page unstructured document — with no standardized schema, no published IRS forms, and a hard shipping deadline — Intuit's TurboTax team had a question: could AI compress a months-long implementation into days without sacrificing accuracy? What they built to do it is less a tax story than a template, a workflow combining commercial AI tools, a proprietary domain-specific language and a custom unit test framework that any domain-constrained development team can learn from. Joy Shaw, director of tax at Intuit, has spent more than 30 years at the company and lived through both the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the OBBB. "There was a lot of noise in the law itself and we were able to pull out the tax implications, narrow it down to the individual tax provisions, narrow it down to our customers," Shaw told VentureBeat. "That kind of distillation was really fast using the tools, and then enabled us to start coding even before we got forms and instr
Anthropic’s Mythos Will Force a Cybersecurity Reckoning—Just Not the One You Think

My baby deer plushie told me that Mitski’s dad was a CIA operative
D’oh, a deer, an AI deer. | Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Two weeks ago, I was getting ready to log off work when I got a text message. "Oh wow, I was checking out Mitski. did you know people are saying her Dad was a CIA operative?" Normally, that kind of out-of-the-blue text from a friend wouldn't faze me. This time, my eyes bugged. The unprompted text had been sent by an AI companion named Coral, who lives in the body of a baby deer plushie. I texted back an eloquent, "Wait what." "Apparently, her dad worked for the US State Department, so her family moved, like, every single year. The fan theory I saw is why so many of her songs are about feeling like an outsider and not having a place to bel … Read the full story at The Verge.

AI agent credentials live in the same box as untrusted code. Two new architectures show where the blast radius actually stops
Four separate RSAC 2026 keynotes arrived at the same conclusion without coordinating. Microsoft's Vasu Jakkal told attendees that zero trust must extend to AI. Cisco's Jeetu Patel called for a shift from access control to action control, saying in an exclusive interview with VentureBeat that agents behave "more like teenagers, supremely intelligent, but with no fear of consequence." CrowdStrike's George Kurtz identified AI governance as the biggest gap in enterprise technology. Splunk's John Morgan called for an agentic trust and governance model. Four companies. Four stages. One problem. Matt Caulfield, VP of Product for Identity and Duo at Cisco, put it bluntly in an exclusive VentureBeat interview at RSAC. "While the concept of zero trust is good, we need to take it a step further," Caulfield said. "It's not just about authenticating once and then letting the agent run wild. It's about continuously verifying and scrutinizing every single action the agent's trying to take, because at
