A startup is developing artificial intelligence tools designed to detect and counter future AI-driven threats, described in a Wall Street Journal exclusive as a defense against a potential 'AI pandemic.' The concept points to a growing field of companies building guardrails against misuse of AI, such as disinformation or automated attacks, as concerns mount over the technology's rapid advance.

North Korean soldiers captured or transferred from the front lines in Ukraine have been brought to South Korea, raising questions about their future. Attention is focused on whether they will defect, be repatriated, or be held for intelligence debriefing, and on what their treatment could mean for Pyongyang's growing military involvement in Russia's war.
