Time Is Running Out For Canada’s Fighter Decision
-
Canada is nearing a crucial decision on its future fighter fleet as it continues to review whether to proceed with its full order of 88 F-35A Lightning IIs or consider a mixed fleet that includes another aircraft type. Despite the review, officials insist the country’s F-35 program is moving “full steam ahead,” with 16 jets already under contract and the first deliveries expected next year. Rising costs, trade tensions with the U.S., and political pressure have complicated the decision, but defense experts and allies warn that deviating from the F-35 could hurt interoperability with NORAD and increase long-term expenses. With adversaries like Russia and China advancing their own fifth-generation fighters, maintaining the F-35 path appears increasingly necessary for Canada’s defense future. Click here to read more.

OpenAI’s Nick Turley on transforming ChatGPT into an operating system
-
OpenAI’s head of ChatGPT, Nick Turley, is leading an ambitious effort to transform ChatGPT from a conversational tool into a full-fledged operating system powered by third-party apps, drawing inspiration from how web browsers became central to computing. In an interview at OpenAI’s developer conference, Turley said ChatGPT’s next phase will allow users to perform tasks — from shopping and learning to productivity — directly through integrated apps like DoorDash and Expedia. He emphasized that ChatGPT’s 800 million weekly users make it a powerful platform for developers while reaffirming OpenAI’s commitment to privacy, transparency, and its broader mission of ensuring AGI benefits all humanity.

Spiritual warfare: who is the enemy and how do we overcome him through Christ?
- Spiritual warfare is a real but often unseen battle between the forces of light and darkness, with Satan and his fallen angels working to oppose God’s will and deceive humanity. Scripture reminds us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual powers that seek to sow fear, confusion, and sin. Yet, through Christ, believers already stand victorious — His death and resurrection have disarmed the enemy and secured our freedom. We overcome by knowing and declaring God’s Word, living in prayer, walking in repentance, staying in fellowship, and standing firm in the authority of Jesus’ name. Though the enemy prowls, he cannot prevail against those rooted in Christ, for we are “more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” Click here to read more.

Will AI-SPM Become the Standard Security Layer for Safe AI Adoption?
- AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM) is emerging as a crucial safeguard for organizations adopting AI responsibly and securely, acting as a new layer that continuously identifies and mitigates threats like model poisoning, prompt injection, jailbreaking, and data leaks. By ensuring visibility, compliance, and control across AI systems, AI-SPM transforms opaque AI interactions into transparent, manageable processes while aligning with trusted frameworks like OWASP, NIST, and MITRE. It helps detect and neutralize malicious inputs, secure sensitive data, monitor agent behavior, and prevent unauthorized AI tool usage—especially amid the growing risks of “shadow AI.” As enterprises expand their AI use, AI-SPM stands out as the foundation for safe, scalable, and compliant innovation in an increasingly complex digital landscape.

Trump announces Israel, Hamas reached Gaza deal, hostages to be released 72 hours after signing
-
Negotiators in Egypt have reached a historic agreement for the release of the remaining 20 living hostages in Gaza and the first steps toward ending the Israel-Hamas War, U.S. President Donald Trump announced, with the hostages to be freed within 72 hours of Israeli cabinet approval. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will present the deal to his cabinet Thursday, while Trump plans to visit Israel Sunday and address the Knesset, highlighting that neutralizing Iran’s nuclear threat was key to enabling the agreement. The release of deceased hostages may take longer due to uncertainties over Hamas’ ability to locate them. The deal comes more than two years after the October 7, 2023 attacks, in which Hamas killed over 1,200 Israelis and kidnapped 250 civilians to Gaza, marking a critical milestone in efforts to achieve a durable peace.
