Opera brings desktop AI features to its Android app

Opera has integrated innovative artificial intelligence features into its Android application, following previous updates to its desktop browsers. The latest update includes contextual AI, which allows users to use content from their current tab in prompts, and visual intelligence, enabling the attachment of images and files for AI analysis directly within the search bar. A new access point for AI is located beside the search box, allowing users to switch between traditional search and the Ask AI feature easily. The visual intelligence upgrade allows users to attach documents or photos for processing by the AI. Contextual AI reduces typing by using content from the current tab, ensuring that only relevant information is utilized and that user data is not used for AI training or advertising. The update is available for download through the Play Store.

Sure, Why Not: Windows 11 AI Agents Might Install Malware On Your PC

Microsoft's recent update highlights the risks associated with its new "Experimental Agentic Features" in AI, which are designed to interact with user applications and files. These AI agents can perform complex tasks but may also produce unexpected outputs and introduce security risks, such as cross-prompt injection (XPIA), leading to potential data exfiltration or malware installation. While Microsoft emphasizes the need for human oversight in AI-generated decisions, concerns about data integrity and system safety persist. The term "hallucinations" is used to describe instances of erroneous outputs from AI, suggesting a broader issue within generative AI technology. Currently, Windows 11’s agentic workspace feature is disabled by default, but the long-term status of this safeguard is uncertain as Microsoft integrates AI further into its products.
