Apple hit with lawsuit over Apple Intelligence delay

Invoking Siri on iPhone.

Apple has been hit with a lawsuit over allegations of false advertising and unfair competition regarding the delayed launch of some of its Apple Intelligence features.

The tech company has made much of its AI-infused Apple Intelligence tools when they were first unveiled at its developer event in June 2024, and while some of the features have made their way to its various devices since then, the company recently revealed that some of the more advanced AI-powered tools -- including for its Siri virtual assistant -- would not be ready until 2026.

Man who looked himself up on ChatGPT was told he ‘killed his children’

Imagine putting your name into ChatGPT to see what it knows about you, only for it to confidently -- yet wrongly -- claim that you had been jailed for 21 years for murdering members of your family.

Well, that’s exactly what happened to Norwegian Arve Hjalmar Holmen last year after he looked himself up on ChatGPT, OpenAI’s widely used AI-powered chatbot.

The search system in Gmail is about to get a lot less frustrating

Finding relevant information on Gmail can be a daunting task, especially if you have a particularly buzzy inbox. Right now, the email client uses a search operator system that acts somewhat like a shortcut, but not many users know about it.
Today, Google has announced an update to how search on Gmail works, thanks to some help from AI. When you look up a name or keyword in Gmail, the matching results are shown in chronological order.
Moving ahead, search results will be shown based on their relevance. In Google’s words, relevance will take into account three factors viz. frequent contacts, most-clicked emails, and how recently the relevant emails arrived in your inbox.

“With this update, the emails you’re looking for are far more likely to be at the top of your search results — saving you valuable time and helping you find important information more easily,” the company says in a blog post.
The updated search system in Gmail is rolling out to users worldwide, and it will be implemented on the desktop version as well as the mobile app. And just in case you are wondering, this is not an irreversible change to the search function in Gmail.
Google says users can switch between “most relevant” and “most recent” search results at their convenience. The overarching idea is to help users find the intended material at a quicker pace.
