– Effective AI governance is vital for ensuring trust and compliance in business practices.
– Companies must establish clear AI use policies to balance innovation and safeguard sensitive data.

As AI transforms industries, effective governance and data risk strategies are crucial for business competitiveness and compliance. Broderick Smith from Transform LogiQ discusses the urgent need for AI governance as it becomes prevalent in products and services. This governance helps mitigate risks, ensuring that clients receive trustworthy information and organisations adhere to ethical guidelines in AI development.

AI governance is essential as many companies struggle to keep pace with rapid advancements. Smith notes that organisations often perceive AI as a technical issue rather than a human one, creating significant governance challenges.

Future-Proofing AI

Establishing a simple policy for AI use is critical. Companies should define permissible use cases and develop governance structures, engaging staff in dialogue regarding AI integration. Addressing the balance between innovation and responsibility ensures that AI enhances organisational effectiveness while safeguarding sensitive data.

– North Korea’s Kimsuky group used ChatGPT to create deepfake military IDs for a phishing campaign against defence organisations.
– Genians Security Centre detected the attack in July 2025, raising concerns about AI misuse in national security.

North Korea’s Kimsuky hacking group has utilised ChatGPT to forge sophisticated deepfake South Korean military identification cards in a phishing campaign targeting defence organisations.

It marks a notable advancement in the regime’s cyber espionage tactics. South Korean cybersecurity firm Genians Security Center first detected the attack in July 2025.

Researchers confirmed that the fake IDs were generated using OpenAI’s GPT-4o model, following metadata analysis.

The hackers bypassed safeguards by requesting ID “mock-ups” rather than actual documents. Malicious emails impersonated South Korean defence communications, misleading recipients into downloading malware disguised as ID cards.

Exploitation Monitoring

North Koreans have been increasingly using AI for intelligence gathering and evading sanctions. According to Anthropic’s recent report, North Korean workers have exploited the Claude AI model to obtain fraudulent employment at technology firms.

Genians’ director highlighted that AI is instrumental in planning attacks, crafting malware, and impersonating recruiters, demonstrating its implication in global intelligence missions.

The phishing primarily affected South Korean journalists and activists, with the sophisticated deepfake technology introducing serious concerns regarding AI misuse in national security.

Genians urged the implementation of enhanced security measures to combat these AI-driven threats.

– Over 20 Chinese car brands, including BYD and MG, are now available in Australia, with four in the top ten.
– Traditional automakers are adapting to increased competition and concerns about the quality of new Chinese entrants.

Australia is witnessing a significant increase in the presence of Chinese car brands, with over 20 names currently available, including BYD, GWM, and MG. In August, four Chinese brands ranked in the top ten for the first time, indicating a growing market share.

Australia’s low trade barriers facilitate the entry of these brands, which view the market as an opportunity for growth and learning. Most electric vehicles sold outside of Tesla are Chinese, showcasing their dominance even in models from other manufacturers.

Industry analyst Mike Costello from Cox Automotive joins to discuss the latest developments in the EV space, and answers the big question: who was the dominate force at this year’s Munich Motor Show?
