Cloud storage provider Dropbox has a generative AI (genAI) service called Dash that users will soon be able to download and install. “We plan to launch a self-serve version of Dash,” Dropbox CEO Drew Houston said during an earnings call earlier this month. “Basically, a version anyone can download and start using similar to what we did with Dropbox 1.0.” Dash, which will be available for download later this year, includes document search, summarization, AI chatbots, and writing assistance for content in its cloud and third-party workflow services. “You can think of Dash as both a standalone product that allows [...]
“Disruptive products cannot be built from legacy chips,” Apple Senior Vice President of Hardware Technologies Johny Srouji said when he spoke at ITF World in Belgium in May. He was there to receive the prestigious 2025 IMEC Innovation Award and shared some of the lessons Apple has acquired since it began building its own processors with the A4 chip inside the iPhone. During his speech, he explained how the scalable architecture Apple chose for its chip development is enabling the company to transform all its hardware. And he shared a few tips for intelligent hardware design, such as to always use the best available [...]
Intel has warned that granting the US government an equity stake could subject the company to “additional regulations, obligations or restrictions” in foreign markets and limit its ability to pursue strategic transactions that are beneficial to shareholders. The chipmaker disclosed significant uncertainties about the government equity deal in an SEC filing on Tuesday, revealing concerns that weren’t addressed in last week’s announcement of the 10% stake by the Trump administration. [ Related: More Intel news and insights ] “Given the scarcity of recent US precedents for transactions such as those contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and of the US Government becoming a [...]
The Trump administration is reportedly weighing sanctions on EU officials responsible for enforcing the bloc’s Digital Services Act (DSA), a move that could escalate transatlantic tensions and complicate how US enterprises manage compliance, data flows, and operations in Europe. Deliberations on this within the State Department are still underway, with no final decision yet on whether to proceed with sanctions that would most likely take the form of visa restrictions, according to a Reuters report. It is also unclear which European Commission or member state officials might be targeted, though US officials held internal meetings on the matter last week, [...]
AI-enabled cheating has surged, particularly in virtual technical job interviews. Would-be job candidates increasingly use AI tools off-camera to feed them answers, such as responses to coding challenges, and in some cases turning to deepfake technology to impersonate applicants. To battle that trend, more and more companies are ditching screens for handshakes — bringing back in-person job interviews. According to a recent Gartner survey, 72.4% of recruiting leaders reported they are currently conducting interviews in-person to combat fraud. Gartner defines candidate fraud as a would-be hire that pretends to be someone else and/or has someone else complete an interview pretending [...]
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang sees a future where billions of robots serve humans, bringing in trillions of dollars in revenue for the company. To meet that goal, Nvidia on Monday unveiled a new computing device that will go into high-performing robots that could then try to replicate human behavior. The Jetson Thor robotics computers are capable of AI intelligence. The devices will help robots hear, detect patterns, make decisions and act. Many of the AI capabilities arise from generative AI (genAI) technologies available today. “Thor…is the ultimate platform for physical AI and robotics built for the age of reasoning AI running at [...]
US President Donald Trump’s announcement Friday that the US government is taking a 9.9% stake in Intel to defend national interests will shift the dynamics of IT procurement globally. “Intel’s new identity as a government-backed ‘national champion’ represents a structural shift in how enterprises must evaluate supplier relationships,” said Sanchit Vir Gogia, chief analyst at Greyhound Research. “Technology buyers have framed procurement primarily in terms of cost, performance, and roadmap alignment. Intel’s repositioning disrupts that calculus.” [ Related: More Intel news and insights ] President Trump rounded up the size of the government’s stake when he announced it on Truth Social: “It [...]
As August once again slips away, spare a thought for Apple’s armies of iPhone engineers, iOS developers and the marketing people who have almost certainly been sweating the details this summer ahead of the next major iPhone launch. With so much at stake, and all eyes on what the company does next with its hardware, it’s no surprise that word about the company’s plans have slipped — via Bloomberg as usual. We now think we know the company is heading into a three-year span of exciting iPhone re-designs, including one thin one, a fabled future curved-glass device, and at last an iPhone [...]
As artificial intelligence, particularly generative AI, gains traction in the business world after years of promise, a new generation of AI is starting to emerge — at least in the hype cycle. It’s not agentic AI, it’s not robotic AI, or physical AI. It is artificial general intelligence, or AGI. Two years ago, fear of AGI run amok prompted 1,000 tech leaders and AI researchers to sign an open letter calling for a pause on new AI model rollouts. That pause obviously didn’t happen, nor has AGI arrived. AI company leaders such as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO [...]
The deal-making US government this month struck deals with Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic for federal workers to access their top generative AI (genAI) models at virtually no cost. Federal agencies will get access to Google Gemini for 47 cents per agency for a year — yes, 47 cents — with access to OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude going for the still-low price of $1, respectively. The genAI tools should be able to make government work faster and save taxpayers money, the companies all said in separate statements touting the agreements. Said OpenAI: ChatGPT will ensure that “workers can spend less time on red tape and paperwork, [...]
