Hand-picked news:

⚖️ Apple sued over misleading AI feature claims ↗️LINK

  • What: Apple faces a proposed class action lawsuit alleging false advertising over its delayed rollout of "Apple Intelligence" AI features, particularly in Siri. Consumers say they were misled into buying devices based on overstated AI capabilities.

  • Why: The suit claims Apple heavily promoted transformative AI features that were either absent or limited at launch, creating unrealistic expectations. Key upgrades to Siri have now been pushed to 2026.

  • Impact: The case highlights growing legal risks as Big Tech races to roll out AI. Apple’s reputation for polished innovation is under pressure as rivals like Amazon and Google surge ahead.

🩺 New AI outperforms doctors in cancer diagnosis ↗️LINK

  • What: A new AI model, ECgMLP, identifies endometrial cancer from microscopic images with 99.26% accuracy—far surpassing the 78–81% accuracy of human doctors. It also excels at detecting other cancers: colorectal (98.57%), breast (98.20%), and oral (97.34%).

  • Why: The model uses advanced attention mechanisms to detect subtle patterns in tissue images that doctors might miss during manual analysis.

  • Impact: This breakthrough could revolutionize early cancer detection, saving lives and expanding global access to expert-level diagnostics, especially in underserved regions.

📱 Google rolls out Gemini’s live video AI tools ↗️LINK

  • What: Google has begun rolling out Gemini’s new real-time AI features, allowing it to view your phone screen or camera feed and answer questions about what it sees. The update is part of Gemini Advanced for Google One AI Premium subscribers.

  • Why: These features, based on Google’s “Project Astra,” let users interact with AI in a more visual and contextual way—like getting help with objects seen through the camera or content on-screen.

  • Impact: With Apple and Amazon lagging in next-gen AI assistants, Google’s early lead in real-time, vision-based AI could redefine how users interact with smartphones—and widen its dominance in the AI race.

⌚ Apple plans AI-ready watches with built-in cameras ↗️LINK

  • What: Apple is reportedly developing Apple Watches with built-in cameras to support AI features like Visual Intelligence, aiming for a 2027 launch. Both standard Series and Ultra models are being considered for the upgrade.

  • Why: The cameras would enable on-the-spot AI-powered analysis of the user’s environment, similar to features seen in Google’s Project Astra. Apple is also working on camera-equipped AirPods to complement the vision-based AI system.

  • Impact: This signals Apple’s push to turn its wearables into AI-first devices, potentially redefining how users interact with their surroundings and keeping pace with rivals in the wearable AI race.

🧬 23andMe files for bankruptcy amid data breach fallout ↗️LINK

  • What: Genetic testing firm 23andMe filed for bankruptcy and will sell itself after a data breach, plunging sales, and failed buyout attempts. CEO and co-founder Anne Wojcicki resigned; CFO Joe Selsavage is now interim CEO.

  • Why: A 2023 breach exposed data of 7 million users, devastating trust. Demand for consumer DNA kits has also declined. Wojcicki’s repeated takeover bids were rejected by the board, including one valuing the firm at just $11 million—down from a $6B peak.

  • Impact: The bankruptcy marks a dramatic fall for the once-hyped biotech firm. 23andMe will continue operating during its sale process, but its future—and reputation—remain uncertain.
