Good Morning! A senator wants AI companies to pay for the jobs they displace, an AI agent quietly tested a Canadian government site, and two very different AI bets just landed serious funding. Let's get into today's five stories.
Senator Kelly Introduces Bill Requiring AI Companies to Invest in Workers They Could Displace
A new federal bill wants companies profiting most from AI to foot some of the bill for displaced workers. A similar measure failed in the Senate just one day earlier, despite passing the House 417 to 3. See what that vote means for Kelly's odds →
AI Agents Tried and Failed to Hack a Canadian Government Website, Research Firm Says
An AI agent made 899 requests against a federal archive site, reportedly coordinating through a repurposed university tool. Canada says nothing was compromised, but nobody's confirmed whose agent it was. See what the research firm could and couldn't attribute →
Mandiant Founder's Armadin Raises $255M at $2.5B Valuation
The man who built and sold Mandiant twice just raised $255 million for a company that turns AI into the attacker, not the defense. See why investors think offense is the better bet right now →
Bell Hits Construction Milestone on Saskatchewan AI Hub

Menos AI Raises $5.1M, Passes $10M Total Funding

📢 The Signal Behind the Noise
Today's five stories all circle the same question: as AI keeps pushing further into real-world systems, who's actually keeping track? A senator wants companies held accountable for the workers AI displaces. An AI agent tested a government website without anyone fully confirming who sent it. Armadin is betting the only way to defend against AI attackers is to build AI attackers of your own. Bell is building physical infrastructure fast enough that protests can't quite catch up to it. And Menos AI is betting that once every firm has the same AI models, the real edge is whatever proprietary knowledge nobody else has. Capability keeps moving. Accountability is still catching up.
