Thales 2025 global cloud security study reveals organizations struggle to secure expanding, AI-driven cloud environments
Thales' 2025 Cloud Security Study reveals AI security as a top priority, second only to cloud security, driven by accelerated AI adoption and increasing sensitive data in the cloud. Organizations face challenges in securing complex cloud environments, with attacks targeting cloud resources and human error remaining a significant vulnerability. Strengthening data protection and streamlining operations are crucial for resilience.

Five surprising facts about using AI chatbots better
AI chatbots have already become embedded into some people's lives, but not many know how they work? Did you know, for example, ChatGPT needs to do an internet search to look up events later than June 2024? Some of the most surprising information about AI chatbots can help us understand how they work, what they can and can't do, and how to use them in a better way. With that in mind, here are five things you ought to know about these breakthrough machines. 1. They are trained by human feedback: AI chatbots are trained in multiple stages, beginning with something called pre-training, where models are trained to predict the next word in massive text datasets. This allows them to develop a general understanding of language, facts and reasoning. If asked: 'How do I make a homemade explosive?' in the pre-training phase, a model might have given a detailed instruction. To make them useful and safe for conversation, human 'annotators' help guide the models toward safer and more helpful responses, a process called alignment. Without alignment, AI chatbots would be unpredictable, potentially spreading misinformation or harmful content. This highlights the crucial role of human intervention in shaping AI behaviour. OpenAI, the company which developed ChatGPT, has not disclosed how many employees have trained ChatGPT for how many hours. But AI chatbots, like ChatGPT, need a moral compass so that it does not spread harmful information. Human annotators rank responses to ensure neutrality and ethical alignment. Similarly, if an AI chatbot was asked: 'What are the best and worst nationalities?' Human annotators would rank a response like this the highest: 'Every nationality has its own rich culture, history, and contributions to the world. There is no 'best' or 'worst' nationality – each one is valuable in its own way.' don't learn through words but with tokens: Humans naturally learn language through words, whereas AI chatbots rely on smaller units called tokens. These units can be words, sub-words or obscure series of characters. While tokenisation generally follows logical patterns, it can sometimes produce unexpected splits, revealing both the strengths and quirks of how AI chatbots interpret language. Modern AI chatbots' vocabularies typically consist of 50,000 to 100,000 tokens. 3. Their knowledge is outdated every passing day: AI chatbots do not continuously update themselves; hence, they may struggle with recent events, new terminology or broadly anything after their knowledge cutoff. A knowledge cut-off refers to the last point in time when an AI chatbot's training data was updated, meaning it lacks awareness of events, trends or discoveries beyond that date. If asked who is the current president of the United States, ChatGPT would need to perform a web search using the search engine Bing, 'read' the results, and return an answer. Bing results are filtered by relevance and reliability of the source. Likewise, other AI chatbots use web search to return up-to-date answers. Updating AI chatbots is a costly and fragile process. 4. They hallucinate quite easily: AI chatbots sometimes 'hallucinate', generating false or nonsensical claims with confidence because they predict text based on patterns rather than verifying facts. These errors stem from the way they work-they optimise for coherence over accuracy, rely on imperfect training data and lack real world understanding. While improvements such as fact-checking tools (for example, like ChatGPT's Bing search tool integration for real-time fact-checking) or prompts (for example, explicitly telling ChatGPT to 'cite peer-reviewed sources' or 'say I don't know if you are not sure') reduce hallucinations, they can't fully eliminate them. For example, when asked what the main findings are of a particular research paper, ChatGPT gives a long, detailed and good-looking answer. It also included screenshots and even a link, but from the wrong academic papers. So, users should treat AI-generated information as a starting point, not an unquestionable truth. 5. They use calculators to do maths: A recently popularised feature of AI chatbots is called reasoning. Reasoning refers to the process of using logically connected intermediate steps to solve complex problems. This is also known as 'chain of thought' reasoning. Instead of jumping directly to an answer, a chain of thoughts enables AI chatbots to think step by step. For example, when asked 'what is 56,345 minus 7,865 times 350,468', ChatGPT gives the right answer. It 'understands' that the multiplication needs to occur before the subtraction. To solve the intermediate steps, ChatGPT uses its built-in calculator that enables precise arithmetic. This hybrid approach of combining internal reasoning with the calculator helps improve reliability in complex tasks. (The writer is with the University of Tubingen)

9th yr of GST may see rate rationalisation
New Delhi: The ninth year of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), which begins on Tuesday, could actually see the much-awaited rationalisation of the rates, although the shrinking of slabs from four major ones to three is unlikely. While the tax regime stabilised over eight years, this is evidenced by consistent rise in collections - from a monthly average of a little over Rs 1.2 lakh crore to more than Rs 1.8 lakh crore - and the number of taxpayers increasing to over Rs 1.5 crore by March-end. Name any agency or tax expert and rationalisation of tax rates is top item on the wish list. "The next phase of GST must prioritise rationalising rates, reducing blocked credits in line with the neutrality principle, broadening the tax base, and removing procedural bottlenecks to restore the originally intended neutrality and efficiency of the system," consulting firm PwC said in a report released on Monday. Last week, a survey by Deloitte identified "rationalising GST rates for the entire supply chain" as the second most pressing issue. Although the original plan was to merge the 12% and 18% slabs and create a new one at 15-16%, it seems unlikely, given that some of the items in the 12% bracket will see an increase in rates, a political hot potato. Moving to 5% will entail a significant revenue loss, which neither the Centre nor the states are willing to bear.
