AI hallucinations, bias and data leaks: Expanding LLM risk landscape
Large language models are now built into search, customer service, legal work and education, but a new study warns that their rapid spread is outpacing safeguards. The study says these systems pose growing risks to privacy, security, misinformation, bias, and accountability, and that no single fix can fully contain them.
The study says the main threat is not just bad outputs but also a broader system of vulnerabilities, including prompt injection, data leakage, hallucinations, and manipulation. It argues that managing those risks will require layered governance, stronger technical controls, human oversight and clearer regulation.

Shell to acquire Canada’s ARC in output-boosting $16.4 billion deal
Shell has agreed to buy Canadian producer ARC Resources in a $16.4 billion deal, in its biggest acquisition since the 2016 BG purchase. The deal is expected to lift Shell’s output by about 370,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day and strengthen its Canadian gas position tied to LNG Canada.
Shell will pay ARC shareholders a mix of cash and shares at a 20 per cent premium to ARC’s 30-day average share price. The company said the acquisition will add about 2 billion barrels of reserves and support higher production growth targets later in the decade.

Canada announces new sovereign wealth fund
Canada will establish its first sovereign wealth fund, the Canada Strong Fund, with an initial federal endowment of C$25 billion, as Prime Minister Mark Carney seeks to drive long-term growth and reduce dependence on the United States. Carney said the fund will support nation-building projects in energy, trade, critical minerals, transport and data, while allowing Canadians to share directly in the gains.
The move marks a major shift in federal economic policy and reflects Carney’s view that Canada’s close ties with the U.S. have become a vulnerability amid tariffs and trade uncertainty.
