According to CoinWorld, Clint Gibler, former head of security research at Semgrep, has joined OpenAI to co-lead cybersecurity efforts with Michael Aiello. Gibler points out that artificial intelligence is reshaping software development and security. Programming agents now write most of the development code, shortening software delivery cycles but also accelerating the discovery and exploitation of vulnerabilities. Defenders can no longer respond with piecemeal fixes; they must automatically generate secure code and streamline detection and verification processes to systematically eliminate entire categories of vulnerabilities. OpenAI has already invested millions of dollars in discovering and fixing vulnerabilities in mainstream open-source software, including browsers, operating systems, and core libraries, and will release more details on protecting critical infrastructure later. The new team will focus on large-scale software vulnerability detection and automated remediation, providing secure and reliable enterprise-grade agents, and opening access to top-level cybersecurity models to all security personnel.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Bank of Korea Governor Shin Hyun-song warned that the central bank cannot lag behind the curve in controlling inflation. This statement sends a clear signal that policymakers are feeling an increasing urgency to act sooner rather than later. Shin stated that concerns about inflationary pressures have risen as the Middle East conflict continues. This comment is likely to reinforce market expectations that the Bank of Korea will resume its tight monetary policy as early as next month. The current Iranian crisis is pushing up energy prices and disrupting supply chains. Shin also stated that, overall, the current dynamics regarding growth, inflation, and financial stability point relatively clearly from a monetary policy perspective. While the central bank governor needs to consider multiple factors, it is crucial to avoid acting too late when price stability is threatened. Even if cost-easing measures alleviate some of the pressure, South Korea's inflation may remain above the target level for an extended period. (Jinshi)
