🎼 Musicians Fight Back: AI vs Copyright in Music

🚁 AI & Drones Deployed to Manage India's Massive Pilgrimage Festival
For the Ashadi Wari pilgrimage at Pandharpur, local authorities are using drones and AI crowd-control systems to manage over a million pilgrims — an intelligent approach to boosting safety and logistics during peak crowd events.

🛡️ Cybercrime Rises — AI is Fueling the Fire
A Financial Times report warns cybercrime is surging, powered by AI tools like WormGPT and "Ransomware‑as‑a‑Service." Bad actors are accelerating attacks using LLMs to craft phishing, automate malware, and breach systems at scale. For EU SMEs, this underscores the critical need for AI security strategies and AI compliance frameworks to protect against emerging threats.
