- Peru’s new DS 115-2025-PCM sets AI risk categories, mandates transparency and human control, and treats employment uses as high risk requiring additional safeguards under the national data protection authority.
- Researchers and industry voices warn of shrinking entry-level pathways as advanced models absorb junior tasks, alongside a growing AI-versus-AI dynamic in cybersecurity where automated attacks meet automated defenses.
