In this episode, we explore three major AI developments reshaping cybersecurity and e-commerce. First, we examine Anthropic's alarming disclosure of Chinese state-backed hackers using Claude to automate cyber-espionage activities-potentially the first documented case of AI agents executing end-to-end intrusions. Next, we dive into Google's groundbreaking agentic shopping features including "Let Google Call" and "Agentic Checkout" that transform the retail experience. Finally, we analyze Meta's strategic overhaul of Facebook Marketplace with AI integration, introducing smart suggestions and more social features targeted at younger users. These developments collectively showcase AI's rapid evolution from conceptual technology to practical applications in both security challenges and consumer experiences.
