Estonia is hosting world's largest cybersecurity exercise Locked Shields 2024, ran by NATO’s Cooperative Cyber Defense Centre of Excellence (CCDCOE), as announced on April 24.

In the announcement, CCDCOE reports that the exercise involves over 40 countries, including Ukraine, with more than 4,000 experts conducting the “live-fire cyber defense exercise.” The event aims to test, fortify, and launch innovative measures in NATO's cyber defense arsenal to combat real-world threats.

Participants are charged with the defense of a fictional nation, Berylia, against intricate cyberattacks planned by a simulated adversary. In addition to technical challenges, the exercise offers training in legal, strategic, and communications tactics to ensure a well-rounded preparation for real-world conflicts.

This year's simulation incorporates cutting-edge neural network systems to reflect the critical role of artificial intelligence in contemporary cyber defense scenarios.

Boston Dynamics unveils a new robot, controversy over MKBHD, and layoffs at Tesla
The weather's getting hotter -- but not quite as hot as the generative AI space, which saw a slew of new models released this week, including Meta's Llama 3. In other AI news, Hyundai-owned robotics company Boston Dynamics unveiled an electric-powered humanoid follow-up to its long-running Atlas robot, which it recently retired. As Brian writes, the new robot -- also called Atlas -- has a kinder, gentler design than both the original Atlas and more contemporary robots like the Figure 01 and Tesla Optimus.

Apple sent threat notifications to iPhone users in 92 countries on Wednesday, warning them that they may have been targeted by mercenary spyware attacks. The notification, which TechCrunch has seen, did not disclose the attackers' identities or the countries where users received notifications.

How to play Pokémon and other Game Boy games on your iPhone
Apple finally updated its App Store guidelines to allow global developers to host retro game emulators on iOS. Now, you don't need to jailbreak your iPhone or download any sketchy software -- you can get a sophisticated emulator right in the palm of your hand for free on the App Store. No one is more vindicated by this shift in Apple's policy than Riley Testut, the developer who made GBA4iOS about a decade ago when he was in high school (when he released GBA4iOS, I showed half of my AP Statistics class how to play Pokémon on their phones during class -- sorry, Mr. Cinelli).

TechCrunch Minute: Quantum computing’s next era could be led by Microsoft and Quantinuum

The pair of companies made what TechCrunch described as a "major breakthrough in quantum error correction," which could make quantum computing systems far more usable than before.

Microsoft bans US police departments from using enterprise AI tool for facial recognition
Microsoft has reaffirmed its ban on U.S. police departments from using generative AI for facial recognition through Azure OpenAI Service, the company's fully managed, enterprise-focused wrapper around OpenAI tech. Language added Wednesday to the terms of service for Azure OpenAI Service more clearly prohibits integrations with Azure OpenAI Service from being used "by or for" police departments for facial recognition in the U.S., including integrations with OpenAI's current -- and possibly future -- image-analyzing models. A separate new bullet point covers "any law enforcement globally," and explicitly bars the use of "real-time facial recognition technology" on mobile cameras, like body cameras and dashcams, to attempt to identify a person in "uncontrolled, in-the-wild" environments.
