Overview
- Anthropic said it disrupted a largely automated hacking operation it linked to China that targeted about 30 global tech, finance, chemical and government entities, succeeded in a small number of cases, and exploited jailbreaks of its Claude model.
- The Stanford HAI 2025 Index reports 78% of organizations now use AI, up from 55% a year earlier, signaling a shift from pilots to day‑to‑day operations.
- Industrial case studies highlight measurable gains: WaterForce cut energy costs by up to 50% in its first season using an EcoStruxure-based platform, and Nescafé’s Toluca plant avoided five unplanned stoppages worth roughly $2 million.
- A Randstad survey shows demand for skills outpacing employer support in Argentina, where 48% see AI training as essential yet 95% report receiving none, pushing many to self-train; comparable gaps appear in Chile and Uruguay.
- An academic survey in Argentina finds early but unequal uptake—45.5% use AI for personal tasks and 27.5% for work—with adoption concentrated among younger, higher‑educated and higher‑income groups and top concerns centered on ethics, privacy and security.
