OpenAI has released a security update for the browser agent in ChatGPT Atlas. The update includes a newly adversarially trained model and enhanced security measures, prompted by a new class of prompt injection attacks discovered through OpenAI’s internal automated red-teaming.
The spread of always-on cameras has created a privacy problem where bystanders lose control over how and when they are captured on video.
To address this, researchers at the University of California, Irvine designed BLINDSPOT, an on-device privacy signaling system. It allows bystanders to communicate privacy preferences to camera-enabled devices without identity registration, biometric uploads, or cloud processing. The prototype was implemented and evaluated on a Google Pixel smartphone.
BLINDSPOT gives people in a camera’s field of view an explicit way to control how their faces appear in recorded video. When a bystander sends a signal, the device detects and tracks that person’s face and applies blurring before the video is stored or shared.
