A new wave of parents is using AI not just as a work tool, but as a household manager. Across social media, momfluencers are showing other mothers how to use ChatGPT, Claude, and similar tools to plan meals, organize schedules, write school emails, track chores, and manage the invisible labor of family life. What started as simple AI tips has grown into a new creator economy niche, with influencers selling prompts, guides, custom chatbots, and paid courses that teach parents

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

Anthropic is warning that the AI industry may need something it currently does not have: a “brake pedal.” The company behind Claude says the world should have the option to slow down or temporarily pause the development of the most powerful AI systems before they move beyond human control. This warning comes as advanced models are beginning to play a bigger role in improving AI itself, raising concerns about whether society, governments, and safety researchers are keeping up

Apple is preparing one of its biggest Siri upgrades yet as part of iOS 27, with the company reportedly redesigning the iPhone experience around a more powerful AI assistant. After years of delays and criticism around Apple Intelligence, the new Siri is expected to become the centrepiece of Apple’s next software updates for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The overhaul is expected to be introduced at WWDC 2026, with a consumer release possibly arriving as early as September. The new Sir

Anthropic’s Claude is quickly moving beyond the idea of a simple chatbot and toward a future where AI can understand a person’s work, habits, and needs before they even ask for help. Cat Wu, Anthropic’s head of product for Claude Code and Cowork, recently explained that the next major step for AI assistants will be “proactivity.” Instead of only responding when users type a prompt, future AI systems could recognize patterns, set up automations, and help with tasks before user

Anthropic, the company behind the Claude AI assistant, is reportedly considering one of the largest private funding rounds in technology history. The AI startup has received several preemptive offers to raise around $40 billion to $50 billion at a valuation between $850 billion and $900 billion. If completed, the deal would more than double Anthropic’s previous valuation of $380 billion from February and could place it at or above OpenAI’s recent private market valuation. Inv

OpenAI’s decision to shut down Sora only six months after launch marks a surprisingly fast end for one of the company’s boldest consumer AI experiments. Released in September as a short form video app, Sora was designed to let users create, remix, and share AI generated clips in a social feed similar to TikTok. At first, the app looked like a major hit. It went viral almost immediately, reached one million downloads in less than five days, and later peaked at more than 3.3 mi

Nvidia is signaling it may be done writing ever-larger equity checks to the AI startups it supplies, even as it remains the primary company selling the chips that make their ambitions possible. Speaking at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecom Conference in San Francisco on March 4, CEO Jensen Huang said Nvidia’s recent investments in OpenAI and Anthropic are likely to be its last in both companies, arguing that once they go public, the window for private investing

Anthropic is pushing AI coding assistants into the place developers already live all day: team chat. On December 8, 2025, the company announced a beta “research preview” that brings Claude Code into Slack, letting developers delegate real coding tasks directly from a conversation thread instead of bouncing between Slack and an IDE. The shift matters because the competitive edge is starting to look less like raw model quality and more like workflow ownership, meaning who can
