Why developers are betting on Postgres for AI

Organizations are intensifying the development of AI applications and agents, which rely on access to existing enterprise data to avoid inaccuracies in responses, a phenomenon known as "hallucination." Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, and Phillip Merrick, co-founder of pgEdge, emphasize that structured data is essential for AI effectiveness. PostgreSQL is highlighted as a preferred database for AI applications, with 66% of respondents in the Stack Overflow 2025 Developer Survey indicating they wish to continue using it. Merrick notes PostgreSQL's advantages, including its open-source model, scalability, and ability to handle both structured and unstructured data. The pgEdge toolkit supports the entire lifecycle of AI application development, including document ingestion and vector embedding generation. PostgreSQL offers deployment flexibility and robust security features, making it suitable for critical sectors like finance and healthcare.

Android AI app exposes nearly 2m user files – including private videos

A privacy breach involving the "Video AI Art Generator & Maker" app has exposed millions of private user files due to a misconfigured Google Cloud Storage bucket lacking authentication. Since June 2023, approximately 8.27 million media files, including nearly 2 million original user-uploaded files, have become publicly accessible. This includes over 1.57 million private images, more than 385,000 personal videos, and millions of AI-generated assets. The app's developer, Codeway Dijital Hizmetler Anonim Sirketi, has fixed the configuration issue, but users remain at risk for phishing attacks, identity theft, and misuse of their private content. Legal experts suggest the app's privacy documentation may not comply with international standards like GDPR. Additionally, Codeway has a history of similar issues, as another app they developed also faced a security breach exposing 300 million messages from over 25 million users.

Evicting Copilot: The Insider’s Guide to Purging AI from Windows 11

Microsoft's Windows 11 has introduced Copilot, an AI assistant aimed at enhancing productivity, but it has faced criticism from users concerned about privacy and resource usage. Copilot offers features like document summarization and image generation, but some users have labeled it an unwelcome presence. During the March 2025 Patch Tuesday, some users experienced Copilot being inadvertently uninstalled. Privacy concerns and performance issues have led many to seek ways to disable or remove Copilot, with methods including hiding the Copilot button, using Group Policy Editor, editing the Windows Registry, and uninstalling the app through Settings or PowerShell commands. In corporate environments, IT administrators can disable Copilot using Intune or Group Policy. Users have reported that Windows updates can reinstall Copilot, prompting them to disable automatic updates or block related domains. Recent user sentiment indicates growing fatigue with AI features, and there is potential for Microsoft to introduce easier opt-out options in future updates.
