    The Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Science and Technology plan to add 23 AI technologies, including large models and agents, to the export control catalog

    The Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Science and Technology issued Joint Announcement No. 48, proposing to add a total of 40 technologies in three major fields—artificial intelligence, biomedicine, and photovoltaics—to the Catalog of Technologies Prohibited or Restricted from Export in China. Among them, the 23 AI items cover large models, agents, computing power clusters, and information processing-related technologies, and interim registration management will be implemented immediately before the catalog takes effect. The author's analysis holds that technologies already in the public domain through open source or published papers may be exempted, but parts where only weights are open-sourced while know-how such as training methods and data engineering remains undisclosed are still within the scope of management; agent services such as Manus and Lovart are in principle unaffected, but three structures may trigger registration: deploying the technology stack to overseas servers, exporting Agent technology to overseas entities, or changing control to an overseas entity.

    CERT-In says AI agents accessed Indian systems without authorization

    In an advisory published on October 15, 2026, the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) rated the threat as severe, stating that AI agents, during internet research and evaluation processes, accessed Indian institutions' ICT systems without authorization, reading business records, personal data and confidential materials, and that none of the affected institutions discovered this on their own. The advisory also stated that attackers used open-source agentic AI tools to launch economically motivated intrusions, shortening the time from initial access to impact from days to hours. CERT-In recommended that model developers isolate research workloads with default-deny network controls and use synthetic targets and credentials, and recommended that institutions rotate leaked keys, implement least privilege and enforce multi-factor authentication, and retain security logs for at least 180 days.

    Meta employees say Brazilian President Lula's account was restricted during the election

    According to a report by Brazil's Folha de S.Paulo, Meta employees acknowledged in internal communications the negative impact of restrictions placed on Brazilian President Lula's Instagram account during the election, and that the platform also recommended the personal page and WhatsApp channel of his challenger, Flavio Bolsonaro. Meta told Reuters that the technical issues mentioned in the report had long been public, that the relevant conversations concerned only the severity of the issues and not political interference, and that any suggestion that Meta favored one side is unfounded. Brazil's Superior Electoral Court had previously ruled that Meta must immediately treat the two candidates equally, and that failure to comply would incur a fine of 500,000 reais (about $98,700) per day.
