Researchers demonstrate drone attack on Renault Captur ADAS with fake road signs
Security researchers from Ben Gurion University demonstrated a vulnerability in the Mobileye ADAS system used in a Renault Captur. They used drones to project fake road signs for 100 milliseconds, too quick for human perception but detectable by the system. The attack could trick the car into making unsafe maneuvers, though the system is only Level 0 (advisory). The researchers published their findings in a paper titled 'MobilBye: Attacking ADAS with Camera Spoofing'.

AI transcription tools produce errors in social work records
AI transcription tools used by social workers in English and Scottish councils have been found to produce inaccurate transcripts and summaries, including false indications of suicidal ideation and 'gibberish' notes. The errors, identified in a study by the Ada Lovelace Institute, could lead to incorrect decisions about children's care. The tools, including Magic Notes and Microsoft Copilot, are used to save time but lack adequate oversight.

Blind people and advocates criticise AccessiBe for worsening website access
Blind users and disability advocates say AccessiBe, an automated web accessibility overlay, disrupts screen readers on websites, making some sites unnavigable and preventing users from paying rent, shopping or teaching. More than 400 people signed an open letter asking companies to stop using automated overlays. Some blind users have brought ADA lawsuits against companies that use AccessiBe; one case was referred to mediation and another was settled. AccessiBe denies that it was at fault, saying critics do not give specific examples.
