Apple is preparing for one of its most important AI moments yet as it gets ready to reveal a major Siri overhaul at WWDC 2026. The company’s virtual assistant, first introduced in 2011, has fallen behind newer AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Google Gemini. While Apple has added features through Apple Intelligence, such as speech translation, custom emojis, and screen-based search, many analysts say the company has not yet delivered an AI feature that truly stands out. This

Microsoft is entering the next phase of workplace AI with the launch of Microsoft Scout, an always-on personal assistant built to work across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. Inspired by the open-source OpenClaw project, Scout is designed to move beyond the basic question-and-answer style of most AI tools. Instead of waiting for users to prompt it every time, Scout can stay active in the background, learn how someone works, and help carry tasks forward across apps like Teams, Out

Lovable is expanding its relationship with Google Cloud through a new multiyear agreement that could significantly accelerate its growth in enterprise AI. The Stockholm-based startup, known for its fast-growing vibe-coding platform, has already been a longtime Google Cloud customer. Under the expanded partnership, Lovable is expected to increase its Google Cloud footprint fivefold, including much higher usage of cloud and AI services. Although the companies did not disclose t

Meta’s growing reliance on artificial intelligence for customer support came under scrutiny this week after hackers discovered a way to manipulate the company’s AI-powered support chatbot into granting unauthorized access to Instagram accounts. The security flaw, which has now been fixed, reportedly allowed attackers to take control of accounts without needing access to the account holder’s email address, raising broader concerns about the risks of allowing AI systems to hand

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing cybersecurity, and Google’s latest findings show that AI-powered hacking is no longer just a future concern. Google’s Threat Intelligence Group says criminal groups and state-linked actors are already using commercial AI models to make cyberattacks faster, more advanced, and easier to scale. The findings have raised concerns among governments, technology companies, and cybersecurity experts about how powerful AI systems could be use

Microsoft, Google DeepMind, and Elon Musk’s xAI have agreed to give the U.S. government early access to their newest artificial intelligence models before they are released publicly. The agreement was announced by the Commerce Department’s Center for AI Standards and Innovation, known as CAISI. The goal is to let government researchers examine powerful AI systems ahead of public launch so they can better understand possible security risks, weaknesses, and national security co

Vercel is investigating a major security incident that shows how a breach at one company can quickly ripple across the wider tech industry. The company said attackers gained unauthorized access to certain internal systems after compromising Context.ai , a third party AI tool used by one Vercel employee. That access reportedly allowed the attacker to take over the employee’s Vercel Google Workspace account through OAuth permissions and then move into some Vercel environments,

Lovable.dev is under growing pressure after multiple reports described a serious security flaw that may have exposed thousands of older projects to anyone with a free account. The issue reportedly affected projects created before a November 2025 cutoff and allowed unauthorized users to access full source code, database credentials, AI chat histories, and even live customer data. Researchers said the flaw was a Broken Object Level Authorization problem, meaning the platform c

Matei Zaharia, the Databricks co founder and chief technology officer, is once again at the center of a major conversation in tech. This time, it is not only because he won the 2026 ACM Prize in Computing, one of the field’s most respected honors, but also because of the bold claim he made alongside that recognition: artificial general intelligence, or AGI, is already here. His comments have added fresh energy to one of the most debated questions in artificial intelligence, e

Artificial intelligence is transforming how companies operate, but it is also creating new cybersecurity challenges. A recent incident involving global consulting firm McKinsey highlights how rapidly evolving AI technologies can introduce unexpected vulnerabilities. Researchers from cybersecurity startup CodeWall revealed that they were able to hack McKinsey’s internal AI platform, called Lilli, exposing millions of internal messages and sensitive system information. Although

Nvidia is developing new location tracking software for its AI chips at a time when concerns about smuggling and unauthorized use in China are escalating. According to multiple reports, the company has created location verification technology capable of identifying the country where a chip is operating by measuring computing performance and analyzing delays in communication between servers, which can reveal geographic distance. The feature draws on the confidential computin

Accenture and OpenAI are deepening their relationship in a move that signals how quickly enterprise AI is becoming a standard part of consulting delivery, not just an client offering. Under the agreement, Accenture plans to equip tens of thousands of its professionals with ChatGPT Enterprise, positioning it as the largest group of workers upskilled through OpenAI Certifications. The idea is straightforward but ambitious: by putting the same tools into daily consulting, oper

Google’s latest announcement signals a major shift in how advanced AI features will be delivered to everyday users. With the debut of Private AI Compute, the company is introducing a cloud-based processing system built to offer the intelligence of its most powerful Gemini models while preserving the privacy traditionally associated with on-device computing. The move closely mirrors Apple’s Private Cloud Compute, highlighting how both tech giants are rethinking the balance bet
