Google is funding 300,000 electricians and welders, because the AI boom is running out of them

Its philanthropic arm, Google.org, said it is committing $50M to prepare more than 300,000 skilled-trade workers across over 20 US states, […]

Google won’t just admit it’s feeding YouTube creators to its music AI

If you’ve uploaded a song to YouTube, Google almost certainly considers your video fair game for training its Lyria music AI, it just won’t admit it right now.

A German court says Google’s AI Overviews are Google’s own words, and it’s liable when they’re false

A German court has ruled that Google is directly liable for false claims its AI Overviews make, treating the AI-written summaries as Google’s own speech rather than ordinary search results. It is one of the first rulings to test who is responsible when a generative-AI system gets it wrong, and the answer it gives is […]

Your face is the ticket: Google’s Gemini and biometric gates are the World Cup’s quieter tech story

The 2026 World Cup is rolling out two layers of technology that most of its 10 million visitors will actually touch: a consumer-AI layer led by Google, and a biometric-identity layer that turns a fan’s face into a ticket. This is the quieter half of the tournament’s tech, the half aimed at fans rather than […]

Apple’s AI promises are finally, almost, sort of, here

Apple kicked off its annual developer conference with bold promises about AI. The company, CEO Tim Cook said, would be “introducing new technologies and innovations that push the limits on what’s possible.” But its slew of announcements – centered on a brand-new “Siri AI” – had more to do with catching up. After almost entirely […]

Apple’s real AI story isn’t Siri: it’s a 20-billion-parameter model that runs from your iPhone’s flash

The headline from Apple’s developer conference was a reborn Siri. The more interesting story sits underneath it: the AI models Apple built to run the thing, one of which is far too big to fit in an iPhone’s memory, yet runs on the device anyway. In a technical post published alongside WWDC, Apple detailed the […]

Apple’s AI pitch will live or die by its privacy promise

As expected, yesterday’s WWDC keynote was mostly about AI. And also as expected, Apple tried to turn its late arrival into its sales pitch: it didn’t rush into AI because it was taking its time to do things right.

Apple rebuilt Siri on Google’s AI and Nvidia’s chips, then spent WWDC explaining why that doesn’t break its privacy promise

Apple’s most important AI announcement at WWDC 2026 was not a feature. It was an architecture. The rebuilt Siri runs on a custom 1.2-trillion-parameter model built on Google’s Gemini technology, hosted on Google Cloud servers powered by Nvidia Blackwell B200 GPUs. For the company that made privacy its premium product, outsourcing AI inference to its largest competitor’s cloud […]
