Ticket resale marketplace StubHub last week filed for an IPO, and rewrote part of its history in the process.
The big picture: StubHub's IPO filing refers repeatedly to CEO Eric Baker as the company's singular founder, including in its 915-word corporate history section, without a single mention of company co-founder Jeff Fluhr.
The winner of the AI race will make decisions that could set industry norms and influence global AI policy for years to come, OpenAI's chief global affairs officer, Chris Lehane, told Axios' Ina Fried on Tuesday at the Axios What's Next Summit in Washington, D.C.
Why it matters: Lehane says beating China in the AI race is so important that we should not tie the hands of AI makers by limiting their use of data under copyright laws that China won't observe.
President Trump signed an executive order last week that compels federal agencies to tear down internal barriers to sharing government data, with no new cybersecurity requirements to prevent misuse or breaches.
Why it matters: The order gives DOGE and other agencies sweeping access to sensitive personal data, and experts warn it attempts to sidestep longstanding privacy laws that judges have used to block similar efforts.

The demise of 23andMe illustrates the vulnerable state of Americans' health data, as med tech companies vacuum up more personal information with little regulatory oversight.

When government officials "move fast, break things," they risk unintentionally breaking systems they didn't realize were valuable to begin with — like their secure wartime communications protocols.
The big picture: America's biggest cyber threat is no longer Chinese and Russian spies lurking in government systems. It's high-ranking officials and government employees who accidentally leak or access classified information.
Why it matters: That financial distress has sparked a big question for some of the more than 15 million customers who have used the company's services: What does a sale mean for the genetic data 23andMe stores?
Microsoft said Monday it will soon roll out 11 new AI agents for its security-focused Copilot aimed at offloading some of the most repetitive tasks that bog down cybersecurity teams.

The field ofAI-driven weather modeling is advancing at a rapid pace, as illustrated by a new model that has critical advantages over other approaches.
