As it stands to potentially lose ad revenue after being ruled a monopoly, and also to maintain an edge in the digital ad space as generative AI use soars, Google is purportedly now injecting ads into third party chatbot conversations. It’s not a surprising move, particularly given Google’s antitrust loss that could eventually lead to the breakup of its ad business (although there are likely years of appeals to come before any tangible changes). The tech giant is also in fierce competition with the likes of OpenAI, Perplexity, Meta, Microsoft, Salesforce, and a slew of others to get enterprise users [...]
Google is making changes to its venerable search interface so users can more naturally interact with its AI features. “AI Mode,” a project brewing in Google’s Search Labs, will slowly roll out to general users within the company’s current search interface. (A new “AI Mode” tab will appear alongside its search box.) “With AI Mode, you can truly ask Search anything — from complex explanations about tech and electronics to comparisons that help with really specific tasks, like assessing insurance options for a new pet,” Soufi Esmaeilzadeh, director of product management for Google’s search products, said in a blog post. The [...]
What is an AI PC? Unlike traditional computers, an artificial intelligence PC, or AI PC, comes with AI capabilities built in by design. AI runs locally, right on the machine, allowing it to essentially learn, adapt, reason and problem-solve without having to connect to the cloud. This greatly increases the performance, efficiency and security of computing while enhancing user experience. How are AI PCs different from traditional PCs? Traditional PCs run on CPUs and GPUs (but most PCs use an integrated CPU for everyday tasks), and their essential components include a motherboard, input devices like keyboards and mice, long-term storage, [...]

Apple’s salad days are over. The company sits on the precipice of reinvention, and may become even more inward-facing in response to a damning US court judgement that may yet see it face criminal charges for contempt of court. US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers has ruled that Apple wilfully violated a 2021 court injunction that required it to change some of its business practices in terms of permitting developers to offer customers ways to purchase digital products outside of Apple’s App Store. ‘Will not be tolerated’ The judge told the company to stop preventing developers from sharing external purchasing [...]
Microsoft had an early software hit when it released Office for Windows 3.0 nearly 35 years ago. The graphical user interface got users away from command-line interfaces and into a new world of productivity. Since then, the company has kept up with the changing way people work. Office 365 (now Microsoft 365) was its adaptation to the collaborative era of the cloud. And now, another major transition is under way — into the generative AI (genAI) era, with Copilot at the center of the strategy to work smarter. Microsoft is positioning Copilot as a tool (or series of tools) for [...]
Microsoft 365 (and Office 365) subscribers get more frequent software updates than those who have purchased Office without a subscription, which means subscribers have access to the latest features, security patches, and bug fixes. But it can be hard to keep track of the changes in each update and know when they’re available. We’re doing this for you, so you don’t have to. Following are summaries of the updates to Microsoft 365/Office 365 for Windows over the past year, with the latest releases shown first. We’ll add info about new updates as they’re rolled out. Note: This story covers updates [...]
Microsoft on Wednesday released a statement aimed at convincing global IT leaders, and particularly those in Europe, that it can still be trusted, but analysts in Europe said its statement was not persuasive. Much of the European nervousness comes from American tariffs and the inevitable responding tariffs from the European Union (EU). But the fears go beyond that, with some European IT and cybersecurity executives worried about what American technology firms might be forced to do by the Trump administration. Those fears are fueled by the recent politicization of security clearances. Microsoft’s detailed statement, attributed to vice-chair and president Brad [...]
Zoho on Wednesday announced the addition of 10 AI-centric services and features within Zoho Creator, the company’s low code application development platform, that it said are part of its pledge to invest only in “AI capabilities that drive real-time, practical and secure benefits to business users.” The expanded offerings include CoCreator, the firm’s new AI “development partner” powered by Zia, Zoho’s AI assistant, that it said in a release “facilitates faster, simpler and more intelligent app building with the use of voice and written prompts, process flows and business specification documents.” New features also include the ability to transform unstructured [...]
President Donald J. Trump recently signed an executive order to bring AI into K–12 education to boost literacy around the technology and create a new White House task force to lead the effort. The task force plans to form public-private partnerships with AI experts to develop online resources for K-12 AI literacy and critical thinking and will seek industry commitments and federal funding to support the effort; the goal is to ensure resources are available for K-12 instruction within 180 days. As part of the plan, the US Secretary of Education must within 90 days issue guidance on using federal [...]
