🔒 Impact & source links — PremiumApple announced a new AI-powered Siri at WWDC 2026, but millions of iPhone users in Europe are being told it won't arrive on their devices anytime soon, if ever. Apple is blaming EU regulations for the delay. The new Siri is described as more conversational and is part of a two-tiered, Google-powered AI model overhaul coming this fall.
Meta has accused NSO Group of violating a court injunction by launching new spear phishing attacks on WhatsApp. WhatsApp says it disrupted the attempts and is asking a court to hold NSO in contempt. NSO's Pegasus spyware has previously been linked to surveillance of journalists, activists, and politicians in India.
Apple says some of its AI models run in Google's cloud infrastructure, but insists Google has no access to user data. The company is maintaining that its privacy guarantees still apply even in this arrangement. This matters for Indian users as Apple Intelligence features expand globally.
Meta removed facial recognition code from its smart glasses just one day after it was discovered. The company hasn't explained why the code was there or whether it will return. Meta has not commented on whether the feature was ever active.

Anthropic has released Claude Fable 5, which it calls the most powerful AI model it has ever made widely available. The company says Fable 5 excels at software engineering, knowledge work, and vision tasks. Its lead over competing models reportedly grows as tasks become longer and more complex.
Meta announced it will expand how it uses off-platform data — like games you play or purchases on other websites — to personalise your social media feed and AI responses. The company says it already uses this data for ads, but is now broadening its scope. The update was shared in a blog post on Tuesday.
Microsoft AI head Mustafa Suleyman walked back earlier comments about AI automating white-collar jobs like lawyers, accountants, and project managers. He clarified that he meant AI will help these workers complete tasks — like sending emails or having conversations — rather than replace them entirely. His comments came during an episode of the Decoder podcast.
A high-severity vulnerability has been found in the Linux kernel, caused by a single errant character in the code. The bug is a use-after-free flaw, which means it can be exploited to escape sandbox protections and potentially gain full control of a system. The vulnerability allows an attacker to gain root access.

🔒 Impact & source links — PremiumTCS Chairman N Chandrasekaran told shareholders at the company's annual general meeting that AI will drive the next phase of growth, reduce hiring needs, and that TCS could have as many AI agents as human employees within three years. He said the company has seen the worst of the slowdown. AI is set to reshape how the software giant builds and deploys its workforce.
Paytm is planning to hire around 4,000 employees by March 2027, focusing on expanding its merchant network and AI-driven products. This is happening at the same time the company is carrying out fresh layoffs. The hiring push signals a strategic shift in where Paytm wants to grow.
SpiceJet is reportedly struggling to pay its pilots on time due to a funding crunch, and is seeking a state-backed loan. The airline has dropped from India's second-largest domestic carrier with a 15% passenger share in 2019 to fourth place with just 3.4% today.
State-run telecom company BSNL reported a loss of ₹4,738 crore for FY26 and failed to meet its government-set revenue target. Revenue growth has stalled even as ARPU — the average revenue per user — surged. The numbers paint a picture of a company still struggling to turn the corner despite government support.

Verizon CEO Dan Schulman said AI will dramatically improve the company's ability to satisfy customers and will take over a large percentage of customer service functions. He framed it as a positive for customer experience. The comment signals where one of America's biggest telecoms sees the future of its workforce.
A new BCG study found that workers say their job satisfaction has gone up because of AI, but they also report a higher cognitive load — meaning their brains are working harder. BCG is calling this the 'joy paradox.' Feeling good about work and feeling mentally drained are happening at the same time.
A study found that people who eagerly seek out managerial positions may be the least suited for those roles. The research also found that good managers may matter more to a company's overall success than the combined skills of their entire team. Not everyone who wants the job should get it.
OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, announced it has confidentially filed an S-1 with the SEC — the first formal step toward going public. The company is carefully managing expectations, saying the actual stock listing may still be a while away. With this move, three of the biggest AI companies are now in line to go public.

The Nasdaq fell 3% on Tuesday as chip stocks sold off sharply. The iShares Semiconductor ETF dropped nearly 8% in Tuesday morning trading. Major indexes had opened higher on hopes for a US-Iran deal but reversed course as tech stocks wiped out Monday's gains.
Social Security, which provides benefits to more than 70 million retired workers and people with disabilities in the US, faces insolvency by 2032. At that point, it would be able to pay only 78% of promised benefits. The fund faces added pressure from last year's One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
A strong US jobs report for May has swept aside the possibility of interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve in the near term. The report puts Fed Chair Warsh in a difficult spot as he faces key policy decisions. Markets had been hoping for rate relief, but the data points the other way.
ARK Invest, which owns SpaceX through its venture ETF, says that Starlink — SpaceX's satellite broadband network — is the primary driver of its valuation thesis for the company. ARK's Brett Winton said Starlink alone supports a $2 trillion valuation at the time of a potential SpaceX IPO. This would make SpaceX one of the most valuable companies ever to go public.

Ebola Outbreak Could Rival 2014's Record Spread, US Health Officials Warn

Weight-Loss Drugs Like Ozempic May Also Fight Cancer, New Research Suggests
Recent studies suggest that GLP-1 drugs — the class that includes popular weight-loss and diabetes medications — may prevent cancer and slow its progression. Researchers believe weight loss is one reason, but GLP-1s may also act on brain and metabolic pathways to prevent cancer. Scientists are still working to understand exactly how this happens.
