As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, many professions are facing the threat of obsolescence, and one that stands out is that of the art connoisseur. These specialists, who possess a unique ability to evaluate and attribute artworks, are becoming increasingly rare. The rise of AI-driven tools for art attribution raises a crucial question: can machines truly replicate the nuanced understanding and expertise that human connoisseurs bring to the table? Despite the advancements in AI technology, there are significant limitations.

Palantir Technologies has faced a challenging November, witnessing a 16% drop in its stock price, marking its worst month in two years. This decline comes as investors are increasingly wary of high valuations in the AI sector, leading to a broader sell-off of AI stocks. Notably, famed investor Michael Burry has taken a position against Palantir, further fueling concerns about the company’s future in a market that appears to be recalibrating its expectations.

As AI agents become increasingly integrated into various applications, concerns about their impact on internet security are rising. Meredith Whittaker, president of Signal, warns that these agents pose an “existential threat” not only to secure messaging platforms but to the broader ecosystem of apps that rely on user data. The necessity for AI agents to access sensitive information creates a new attack surface that cybercriminals could exploit, raising significant privacy and security issues.
