A new study out of Stanford Law School finds that law professors consistently rated answers generated by AI higher than those written by their own peers. The implications are significant — not just for legal education, but for any profession that assumes human expertise is self-evidently superior to machine output. It's a finding that deserves more than a shrug.
On the security front, Microsoft researchers have flagged a serious vulnerability in Claude Code, Anthropic's AI coding agent. The concern centers on prompt injection attacks — essentially, manipulating the AI through crafted inputs to get it to expose sensitive credentials stored in software development pipelines. As AI agents take on more autonomous roles in engineering workflows, the attack surface grows in ways we're only beginning to map.
And in Washington, a new presidential memo has placed what the document calls the most advanced AI in the world directly into military hands, while also blocking companies from modifying those AI systems without prior government approval. That second part is the quieter but arguably more consequential detail — it raises real questions about who controls the development roadmap when national security enters the picture.
