After shelving the original executive order last month, Donald Trump finally got on board Monday night.

At Red Hat Summit 2026, SWIFT shared the approach they’re rolling out — including the pilot results that informed it, and the scale they’re targeting next. Imagine running automation that touches roughly one third of global GDP every day. Tens of thousands of VMs, network devices in production, elevated privileges across production systems — and every playbook you run is, effectively, a software supply chain. That is the everyday reality at SWIFT, the secure financial messaging backbone connecting 11,000+ financial institutions across more than 200 countries. At Red Hat Summit 2026, Suvasish Ghosh , Product Owner for CI/CD Engineering and DevOps Engineering Services at SWIFT, joined Gregor Berginc , CEO of XLAB Steampunk, on stage to talk about how SWIFT is using Steampunk Spotter to govern Ansible automation at this scale. Why automation at SWIFT scale needs governance by design For SWIFT, security, availability and auditability are not features added on top — they are baseline engineering requirements. Regulatory frameworks (including DORA) codify the expectations, but as Suvasish made clear on stage, governance is by design at SWIFT, not driven solely by regulation. That stance reflects a simple truth that more and more platform teams are arriving at: automation is production infrastructure, and it must be governed as such. When you run an Ansible playbook, you are executing a software supply chain — collections, modules, roles, Python packages, system packages, the execution environment, the operating system underneath. The playbook itself is just the tip of the iceberg. Errors propagate fast. The blast radius is large. And yet, until recently, most of the security and compliance attention in IT organizations went to the applications shipping to production. The automation that built and configured everything around them often slipped through. Suvasish put it directly during the session: “We spent a lot of time being compliant and secure in our application, but w

U.K. regulators are requiring Google offer a tool allowing website publishers to opt-out of generative AI search features. The option will be tested in the U.K. then rolled out globally.

Google has expanded its water stewardship projects in the midst of growing unrest over data centers' water usage.

Researchers are using machine learning algorithms to decrypt historical pencil-and-paper ciphers.

Google, Microsoft, and other hyperscalers have come under scrutiny for their impact on water quality and availability.

In the face of widespread backlash to the AI data center buildout throughout the US, Google is touting its efforts to minimize the environmental impact by actually increasing water for local communities. The company laid out five commitments around water use in a new blog post published Wednesday, including a goal to replenish more water […]

Online publishers are getting more control over whether their websites appear in Google's AI Search features, thanks to a UK regulatory ruling. The new conduct rule imposed by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) requires Google to let website owners keep their content out of features like AI Overviews and prevent it from being used […]

The company says opting out won't impact placement in regular searches.

PageSpeed Insights had been staring at me for weeks. Desktop was holding at 91. Mobile was stuck at 63. I'd already fixed the obvious stuff — non-blocking fonts, preconnects, fetchpriority on the hero image. But there it was, every single run: Improve image delivery — Est savings of 985 KiB Nearly a megabyte of wasted transfer, just from six project screenshots. And that was just the images visible above the fold. The full list across all projects was worse. The culprit: every image I'd ever uploaded through the Django admin was a PNG. Some of them were over 1 MB. WebP would have cut most of them by 80%. I knew this. I just hadn't done anything about it. So I wrote a management command to fix the backlog, and then made the model auto-convert on every future upload so I'd never have to think about it again. The Problem With PNGs in a Portfolio When you're building a portfolio, you screenshot your work and drag it into the admin. That screenshot is usually a PNG — lossless, full-size, straight from your display. Nobody optimises it because the admin accepts it and it shows up fine in the browser. But "shows up fine" isn't the same as "loads fast." A 1.4 MB PNG of a law firm homepage does not need to be 1.4 MB. Served as WebP at quality 85, it's 175 KB. Same visual result. Eight times smaller. Multiply that across 28 projects and you're looking at tens of megabytes that mobile users on slow 4G are downloading just to scroll past thumbnails. The One-Time Backlog Fix: A Management Command First, I needed a way to convert everything that was already in S3. A management command was the right tool — it runs in the production container with full access to the Django ORM and the configured storage backend, so it can read and rewrite files without needing to know whether they're on S3, local disk, or anywhere else. # backend/projects/management/commands/convert_images_to_webp.py from io import BytesIO from django.core.files.base import ContentFile from django.core.management.b

A federal IT staffer filed a complaint about DOGE, then went public. Shortly after Elon Musk boosted a post calling his claims false, his brake lines were cut. Now he’s suing for defamation.

Google's June Android feature drop includes more scam detection, more AirDrop, and yes, more AI.

Available for Android 12 and later, the anti-scam feature is baked into Google Dialer, which sends a silent “confirmation signal” to ensure whoever’s calling you is who they appear to be.

The specification lets developer, compliance, and security teams define their own policies for agents to follow in portable policy files.

As people increasingly refuse to answer calls from unknown numbers, scammers are shifting their tactics by spoofing trusted phone numbers and using AI deepfake technology to sound like authority figures, family members, or employers.

Google is launching a new feature for its Phone app that aims to protect you from AI impersonation scams. Now, when you receive a call from a scammer that appears to be coming from the same number as one of your contacts, Phone by Google will flag the call as suspicious so you can hang […]

After industry objections, President Trump signed a revised AI executive order requiring only voluntary prerelease government reviews of advanced models.

According to every product demo from the last four years, planning a trip is a killer use case for AI. Just tell it where you're going, they all promise, and your chatbot / agent / other buzzword will exhaustively search travel options, read up on all the fun things to do, check all the local […]
