This week saw major developments in AI and data security. AI tools like ChatGPT caused millions of data leaks last year, especially social security numbers. Google's Big Sleep AI agent found critical security holes before hackers could use them, including one in SQLite software. New lawsuits target companies using AI call centers that record conversations without proper consent.

Experts warn that only 5% of company data is safe for AI use because of protection worries. A new U.S. law limits foreign involvement in AI technology and requires strict checks on suppliers. Businesses using AI must now follow stronger rules about data privacy and security.

Good news: Companies using AI created 55% more jobs last year, mostly in security and data protection roles. But AI risks like data leaks and biased systems remain big concerns that need careful management.
