🔒 Impact & source links — PremiumA German court ruled that nobody needs AI to search the internet, dealing a blow to Google's AI Overview feature. The ruling could have major consequences for the AI search industry globally. India, where Google dominates search traffic, would feel the ripple effects if this legal thinking spreads.
SpaceX's Starlink has introduced a $10 monthly hardware rental fee, moving away from one-time hardware purchases. Service prices have also gone up by $5 to $10. Starlink is SpaceX's top revenue earner and has been expanding aggressively into India's underserved rural markets.

A man is suing Florida police after he was arrested based on a facial recognition result that was only a 93% match. His lawsuit claims police let an error-prone AI system stand in for a proper investigation and ignored other evidence that contradicted the match. The case highlights how AI identification tools can go badly wrong in criminal justice settings.
A security researcher discovered close to a million passport scans and photo IDs left unprotected and publicly accessible on the internet. The documents included passports from multiple countries and driver's licenses. The exposure was linked to systems connected to cannabis club platforms.
Anthropic released Claude Fable 5, calling it the most powerful AI model it has ever made widely available, and specifically praised its biology skills. But when asked basic biology questions — the kind a high schooler could handle — the model refuses and redirects users to its older flagship model instead. The contradiction between the launch claims and actual behaviour has raised eyebrows.
Microsoft's Xbox division is preparing for significant layoffs next month, according to sources familiar with the plans. Xbox CEO Asha Sharma had already hinted at making hard choices last month. Sources suggest the cuts could include a studio closure or other structural changes.

A federal judge has struck down a $100,000 fee that the Trump administration tried to impose on H-1B visas, which are used by highly skilled foreign workers. The judge ruled the fee was an unlawful tax on the visa programme. The H-1B visa is heavily used by Indian tech professionals working in the US.
A new report finds that recruiters have doubled their call time over the past two years. As AI tools have taken over routine tasks, HR professionals are using the freed-up time to have more direct conversations with job applicants and clients. The finding challenges the fear that AI would make hiring more robotic.
A recent study found that passively using AI — copying and pasting its output without engaging with the work — can reduce workers' sense of ownership over what they produce. Researchers say this may erode confidence over the long term, even if it boosts productivity in the short term. The finding adds a psychological dimension to the debate about AI in the workplace.
Hollywood directors have reached a tentative four-year contract agreement with studios and streaming services. The deal was struck between the Directors Guild and the studios. No specific financial terms are detailed in the source.
