Recently, new concerns emerged about Nvidia’s acquisition of SchedMD, the company behind the open‑source scheduling software “Slurm”. According to reports, the acquisition gives Nvidia control over software that powers roughly 60 percent of the world’s supercomputers. This software is critical for training large AI models. Therefore, many experts worry that Nvidia could use this control to favor its own hardware over competitors like AMD and Intel. How Slurm Became Critical Infrastructure Slurm originated at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. It schedules computing tasks across large clusters and it helps supercomputers and data centers allocate resources efficiently. For example, governments use Slurm…
Nvidia and Marvell Technology announced a strategic partnership on March 31st, 2026. Nvidia invested $2 billion in Marvell as part of the deal. The two companies will work together on custom AI chips and high speed networking. In addition, Marvell will connect to Nvidia’s AI factory through a platform called NVLink Fusion. The companies will also collaborate on silicon photonics, a technology that uses light instead of electricity to move data at high speeds. However, this is not just a chip supplier agreement. Nvidia wants to control the entire AI infrastructure stack from chips to networking to software. By investing…
In recent months, Google has started warning people about quantum computing and the future of online encryption. The company says the same security that protects your emails, banking and private messages today might not survive quantum computers. Because of this, Google is already testing new forms of encryption to stay ahead of the problem. However, experts agree that quantum computing is still very early. No existing quantum machine can break real-world encryption. Today’s Encryption: RSA and ECC Work Fine The warning might be urgent but today’s encryption works fine. Currently, the most secure websites and apps use algorithms called RSA…
Anthropic and Accenture teamed up to launch a new cybersecurity tool called Cyber.AI. Anthropic builds safe and honest AI models while Accenture runs security operations for large companies around the world. The two companies announced their partnership at the RSA conference in San Francisco. Currently, attackers are using AI to break into networks faster than ever before. They scan for weak spots. Once they find one, they strike within hours. Because traditional security tools cannot keep up, many attacks succeed before anyone notices. However, Cyber.AI tries to fix this problem. The tool uses Claude, Anthropic’s AI model, as its brain.…
The recent banking breaches in Nigeria have exposed sensitive records. In late March 2026, a hacker breached Sterling Bank. Soon after, the same attacker accessed Remita, a major payment platform used by many Nigerians. As a result, millions of records including BVNs, passports and bank account details may already reside on the dark web. Because of this, every Nigerian needs to act fast. This article will walk you through exactly what you need to do right now. Confirm If the Recent Banking Breaches Exposed Your Data First, you need to know whether the leak includes your information. On the 27th…
A single hacker named “ByteToBreach” has claimed three cyberattacks on the Nigerian financial sector within one week. First, the attacker targeted Sterling Bank. Then, they went after Remita, the country’s government payment platform and FCMB. As a result, regulators have ordered urgent security checks across the industry. Nigerian Financial Sector Hack: Timeline of Events The first breach occurred on March 27. ByteToBreach claimed to have broken into Sterling Bank and stolen 900,000 customer accounts plus thousands of employee records. The stolen data reportedly included Bank Verification Numbers (BVN) and passport images. However, the bank did not confirm nor deny the…
AI‑generated content backlash gained traction in March 2026 when OpenAI announced it was shutting down its AI video platform Sora and blindsided Disney with the news. Consequently, these moves marked a clear shift in how the tech and entertainment industries view generative media. Initially, Sora was celebrated as the next best thing in content creation. Now, the industry must reassess the performance expectations for AI tools and their commercial viability. Why the Sora Shutdown Happened OpenAI launched Sora in 2024 and it quickly gained widespread popularity because it could turn simple text prompts into short videos. However, by March 2026, the company…
This OpenAI enterprise strategy marks the company’s biggest bet yet since the launch of ChatGPT. For years, OpenAI dominated the consumer AI race and now it wants something entirely different. This year, OpenAI aims to be the intelligence layer that large businesses run on every day. This is particularly ambitious and the pressure to execute is very high. The Problem OpenAI Had to Fix Surprisingly, this strong ambition didn’t stem from the company’s confidence. It was as a result of a market share collapse. Currently, Anthropic commands 40% of enterprise AI spending, surpassing OpenAI’s 27% and Google’s 21%. Additionally, among…
On the 19th of March 2026, Microsoft’s AI Superintelligence team led by Mustafa Suleyman unveiled MAI-Image-2. The internal text-to-image model debuted at No. 3 on Arena.ai’s leaderboard, ranking just behind Google’s Gemini 3.1 Flash and OpenAI’s GPT-Image 1.5. This is a huge milestone for the company because they were still licensing OpenAI’s image models for Copilot barely a year ago. What MAI-Image-2 Does Well Microsoft’s superintelligence team didn’t build this alone. They did it with direct input from photographers, designers and visual storytellers. As a result, the image model has three distinct features. First, its photorealism is the headline feature.…
The Supermicro co-founder faces federal charges for a billion-dollar smuggling scheme. Specifically, prosecutors say Yih-Shyan “Wally” Liaw and two others illegally shipped Nvidia AI chips to China. To pull it off, they used dummy servers, fake documents and a hair dryer. Supermicro Co-Founder’s Alleged Scheme The operation began in 2024. At that time, Liaw and his co-conspirators, sales manager Ruei‑Tsang “Steven” Chang and outside contractor Ting-Wei “Willy” Sun, directed a Southeast Asian company to place orders with Supermicro. That intermediary bought roughly $2.5 billion worth of servers containing advanced Nvidia chips. To fool auditors, the group staged dummy servers at…
