The Great AI Content Heist: How Bots Are Devouring the Internet – and How We Can Fight Back

The Great AI Content Heist: How Bots Are Devouring the Internet – and How We Can Fight Back

The rise of generative AI has kicked off an arms race for data, as AI companies seek to ingest as much online content as possible to train their models. Text from websites, images, code repositories, music – and now video – are all being vacuumed up. A bombshell report from The Atlantic in September 2025 revealed the sheer scale of this activity on YouTube: more than 15.8 million videos were quietly scraped and downloaded without permission as training data for AI theatlantic.com. These weren’t obscure clips either – nearly 1 million were how-to videos, and countless others came from popular creators and even major organizations like the BBC and TED theatlantic.com theatlantic.com. In many cases the videos were stripped of titles or creator names in the datasets to obscure their origin theatlantic.com, but investigators traced the data back to real YouTube channels.

Quantum Revolution 2025: Unhackable Encryption, Superspeed Computing & the 6G Quantum Future

Quantum Revolution 2025: Unhackable Encryption, Superspeed Computing & the 6G Quantum Future

In 2025, the race is on to rebuild our digital security before quantum computers can crack it. Modern encryption protocols like RSA and ECC – which protect everything from online banking to emails – could be rendered obsolete by a powerful quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm. Post-quantum cryptography refers to new cryptographic algorithms designed to resist quantum attacks while still running on conventional computers csrc.nist.gov csrc.nist.gov. After a 7-year global competition, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology finalized its first PQC standards in August 2024 nist.gov. These include a lattice-based key exchange and digital signature schemes derived from the algorithms CRYSTALS-Kyber, CRYSTALS-Dilithium, and SPHINCS+ csrc.nist.gov csrc.nist.gov. In March 2025, NIST selected an additional code-based encryption algorithm to be standardized by 2027 as a backup method csrc.nist.gov.

Global Tech News Roundup (Sept 3–4, 2025): Fines, Launches & Big Tech Moves

Global Tech News Roundup (Sept 3–4, 2025): Fines, Launches & Big Tech Moves

Alphabet, Google’s parent company, won a major reprieve in its landmark U.S. antitrust case. On Sept 2, Judge Amit Mehta ruled against breaking up Google, allowing it to retain control of Android and Chrome reuters.com. The decision lifted a huge cloud of uncertainty: Alphabet stock rocketed over 9% in one day, adding about $210 billion in value reuters.com. The ruling permits Google to keep paying partners like Apple to make Google the default search, though it bans some exclusive deals reuters.com. Analysts cheered the “pragmatic” remedy. “This outcome removes a significant legal overhang and signals the court is favoring pragmatic remedies rather than scorched-earth tactics,” said Hargreaves Lansdown analyst Matt Britzman reuters.com. Another expert noted relief that lucrative Apple search payments can continue reuters.com. The judge pointed to rising AI chatbots like ChatGPT as emerging competition – a factor in deciding against a breakup reuters.com. Google still faces data-sharing mandates to help rivals, but its core search empire remains intact reuters.com. For Google, which was sued in 2020 for abusing its search monopoly, this was a huge win – and markets responded in kind reuters.com.
