On October 13, 2026, the Bank for International Settlements Innovation Hub released the second phase report of the Aurum project, themed "Exploring Privacy-Enhancing Technologies for Digital Cash." This phase implements a privacy-protecting digital cash prototype based on the existing Aurum codebase, helping policymakers understand how relevant technologies can alleviate the dilemma between privacy and compliance in digital cash.The prototype adopts the principles of privacy by design and default privacy, demonstrating practices that lie between complete anonymity and complete transaction transparency, and achieving customizable features to meet business needs in compliance and operations. The project indicates that privacy can be embedded in the design of digital cash through technology, rather than solely relying on institutional guarantees, thereby reducing unnecessary exposure of personal and transaction data while maintaining compliance and system integrity.Privacy-protecting designs can assist central banks and policymakers in understanding the relevant considerations and trade-offs. The prototype's functionalities demonstrate policy flexibility between privacy, transparency, compliance, and other attributes, which can be calibrated according to different policy choices and risk preferences. In addition to digital cash, central banks can further explore privacy-enhancing technologies in more use cases, with the report listing several usage experiences.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella published an article discussing the trust framework for the era of superintelligence. He stated that traditional software can trace behaviors back to specific code paths, whereas current superintelligent systems lack this mechanistic understanding and cannot attribute model behaviors and outputs to specific training data or weight configurations. However, they are being deployed and are accessing sensitive data, executing critical actions on behalf of others. He emphasized that responsibility for intelligent behavior cannot be outsourced to model providers, nor can superintelligence be accepted or rejected as a series of nested black boxes.Nadella proposed that the supply of intelligence should be separated from the authorization of intelligence, surrounding nondeterministic models with deterministic system design, human control, and operational procedures, and establishing industry standards when existing standards are insufficient. He suggested managing cutting-edge models with closed-source and open-source weights as internal risks, not because they are inherently malicious, but because agents with sufficient capability that can access important systems may make mistakes or be compromised. Relevant practices include establishing identities, restricting permissions, recording activities, and setting isolation boundaries, with the transparency of the model's reasoning chain becoming a non-negotiable starting point.He further stated that permissions and action controls must be placed outside the model, and the model, orchestration layer, and action space should be separated. Principles include avoiding reliance on a single model as the sole dependency for important outcomes or for verifying its own work, ensuring that critical actions leave tamper-proof and human-readable evidence, continuously testing for failures, attacks, and boundary conditions, allowing organizations to independently decide on access and action permissions, validating independently of the intelligence being verified, presuming that the model has been compromised and supporting mid-course pauses or shutdowns, and timely disclosing and sharing lessons within the industry when failures or compromises occur. He concluded that the most trustworthy superintelligent systems are those that require the least trust in the model itself.

According to a report by Phoenix Technology citing Bloomberg, former ByteDance intern Tian Keyu has secured nearly $30 million in funding from firms such as Five Sources Capital and IDG Capital, with a post-investment valuation of $200 million. The funds will be used for a startup that is still in stealth mode, competing in the field of world models against AI researchers like Fei-Fei Li.In 2024, during his internship at ByteDance, Tian Keyu was accused of disrupting model training and causing resource waste by writing and altering code due to dissatisfaction with team resource allocation. ByteDance filed a lawsuit seeking 8 million yuan in damages and stated that the intern had been dismissed, while also claiming that online reports of "involving over 8,000 cards and losses exceeding tens of millions of dollars" were grossly exaggerated. The court ruled that Tian Keyu must pay 500,000 yuan for breach of contract and confiscated his entire salary. Tian Keyu stated that he had closed another intern's program to free up computing power, admitted to inappropriate behavior, but described it as "acting on behalf of justice," and expressed that he would take a wiser approach if given another chance.Tian Keyu completed his master's degree at Peking University last summer and is the first author of one of the best papers at NeurIPS 2024. His lab currently has no name or products, with a team of about 10 people, including other former ByteDance employees. He claims to have created a dictionary containing about 200,000 symbols that are unrecognizable to humans for processing videos and plans to input 100 million hours of video into the model, stating that this technology could reduce the cost of generating one second of video by at least an order of magnitude, with plans to showcase it through offline events before the full model release in 2027. As of the time of publication, a ByteDance spokesperson had not responded to inquiries about the dismissal, while representatives from Five Sources Capital and IDG Capital confirmed the investment but did not comment further.

Recently, the Beijing Shijingshan police successfully intercepted a new type of cross-border telecom fraud case, freezing 780,000 yuan in involved funds and returning it to the victims. In this case, 53-year-old Mr. Liu received a fraudulent call from abroad while accompanying his child studying overseas. The scammer impersonated domestic police, fabricated false allegations of money laundering, and induced him to urgently request money transfers from his family in China.The funds were subsequently transferred into the accounts of two other Chinese students studying abroad. Upon investigation, it was found that these three individuals were all victims of the same fraud gang, exhibiting characteristics of "multiple scams in one case, with victims serving as money laundering tools for each other." The scammers first transferred funds into the accounts of some victims, then coerced them into exchanging for U currency to assist in the transfer, which was highly concealed and involved complex cross-border links. The police successfully "awakened" the victims through patient persuasion, preventing greater losses.
