It’s the most wonderful time of the year—unless you’re Santa and your trade secrets just got swiped by a disgruntled elf with no holiday cheer, wielding powerful magical artificial intelligence (AI) tools like “ElfGPT.” As snow falls over the North Pole and elves frantically race to meet their Christmas Eve deadline, a new kind of holiday heist is afoot. Forget naughty or nice—this year, Santa’s checking his IP address logs twice, thanks to a not-so-jolly new threat at the North Pole: AI-powered trade secret theft. With digital elves on the loose, even Santa’s sleigh bells can’t drown out the sound of cyber mischief.
