UK surveillance laws face US scrutiny over Apple backdoor demand

Deezer will now scan your playlists on other streaming platforms to detect AI-generated music. Deezer was the first of the big streaming services to start labeling AI-generated music. It even offered its tech to other platforms, but it doesn't seem like it had many buyers. Qobuz launched its own detection tech, while Apple and Spotify have opted for a voluntary tagging system. "No other company has followed our lead yet, so we decided to make it possible for everyone to check if their playlists include synthetic music, no matter which streaming platform they use," Deezer CEO Alexis Lanternier said in a press release. So, since nobody is ta … Read the full story at The Verge.

“We’ve all had that moment where you search for something you know is there, but it just won’t show up.” Apple’s Stacey Ford, vice president of OS Program Management, was talking about Spotlight at WWDC 2026, but she could have been describing the company’s AI ambitions.  On Monday at Apple Park, the thing that wouldn’t […] The post Siri AI arrives with Google inside, and much of the world is locked out appeared first on AI News.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s speech on Monday insisting that tech companies create device controls to somehow block children from viewing or creating sexually explicit imagery has raised alarms among CISOs, who worry that the same technology could undermine enterprise security. Starmer gave tech firms three months to create and implement such restrictions voluntarily, at which point he said he would push for legislation to make it mandatory. Behind the technical and logistical hurdles for tech firms to clear, such as how a device would determine that an image was inappropriate, and how it could reliably determine the subject’s age, is the issue of whether this process would interfere with encryption protections for enterprises worldwide. And that comes down to whether the required data analysis happens on the device or in the cloud.  Starmer did not go into a lot of detail, preferring to let technology companies craft their own plans, but in this case the details matter. Analysts a

Siri, are you there? Parents want one thing, and one thing only, out of AI: to add a list of soccer games or "spirit week" theme days from an email or a poorly formatted flyer onto their calendar in one shot. And I have good news for parents with iPhones - the new Siri can finally do this. After stumbling through its first launch of an AI-imbued Siri, Apple is trying again. The newly upgraded Siri AI can chat with you about what might be killing the roses in your yard, put together a shopping list for the hardware store, and set a reminder to lay down some compost in that flower bed. It can reference information in your email and calendar to make its recommenda … Read the full story at The Verge.
