Claude Tag is Anthropic’s latest attempt at getting Claude out of your DMs and into your team’s Slack channels. AI assistants are increasingly showing up in the workplace to perform research, coding, writing, and analysis, but the results of those interactions typically remains tied to individual conversations rather than being shared across projects and teams. That limitation is what Anthropic is addressing with Claude Tag, a new Slack channel-based experience for its Enterprise and Team customers, designed to give them a shared AI collaborator that retains context across conversations and participates in work with multiple employees. Tag will replace Anthropic’s [...]
Apple’s iOS 27/macOS 27 cycle is revealing something new: AI is only as good as the operating system that supports it. The latest beta releases show that after two years in which the company has promised to become AI-native, testers finally believe it’s happening as Apple prioritizes improved system performance and Siri AI. For example, the second developer beta (released this week) has clarified the vague “indexing” prompt that showed up two weeks ago, replacing it with a clearer message reading “Optimizing Search and Siri.” What is indexing doing? Developers digging into the code found the system is proactively building contextual maps of [...]
The AI IPO tsunami on the stock market has only recently gotten under way, with SpaceX’s more-than-$2 trillion IPO likely to be followed in several months by OpenAI’s and Anthropic’s IPOs — each of which is likely to hit $1 trillion. That will mint three new trillion-dollar AI companies in a matter of months, all of which compete with Microsoft. Wall Street has never seen anything like it. Previously, the most money raised by all IPOs in a single year was $671 billion in 2021. It took 38,644 deals to get to that figure. Compare that to three deals this year [...]
AI has created a tough job environment for entry-level workers and things aren’t getting better anytime soon — even those with AI capabilities now need “senior-level” skills to land a job. “AI-exposed entry-level roles are seven times more likely to require traditionally senior-level skills such as judgement and leadership,” consulting firm PwC said in a study released this month. That’s because AI is changing the traditional career ladder. Companies are increasingly looking for candidates that use the cutting-edge tools and services to amplify their performance and grow faster. “Organizations must rethink how they mentor and train junior staff, helping them [...]
Few things are as delightfully divisive as Android’s dark mode. Some phones now ship with Android’s darker-style interface activated by default. Most reasonably recent devices offer it as a swift ‘n’ simple toggle. And most people, in my experience, have amusingly strong preferences about which approach they prefer — the standard Android “light” mode, in which screens tend to be bright and with shades of white as a foundation, and the dark mode (a.k.a. “dark theme”), where black and dark gray dominate and everything is much more muted and muddy. It really is a night and day difference, so to [...]
An extensive program at Meta to gather a wide range of data from employees to train its AI model has been frozen after employees reportedly broke through its guardrails and accessed restricted data, and then did so again after Meta claimed to have fixed the vulnerability. Whether or not the data collection by the $201 billion owner of Facebook was a good idea, analysts argue that the data protections deployed were woefully inadequate, given the extreme sensitive nature of the collected data. “Meta had the resources to get it right, and yet they failed exponentially,” said Karianne Michelle, a director [...]
China’s e-commerce giant JD.com is preparing for a future where packages are delivered by robots instead of people. The company’s founder and chairman, Richard Liu, expects robots will “sooner or later” take over deliveries from the company’s roughly 700,000 couriers. “It will definitely be robots delivering packages. But I really don’t want our 700,000 brothers to go without food and without jobs,” Liu said at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation CEO Forum, according to the Financial Times. He did not provide a more specific timeframe for the change. As part of the transition, Liu said JD.com has entered into agreements with [...]
Forty million UK iCloud users could be owed up to $100 (£77) each after a $3.9 billion (£3 billion) class action lawsuit against Apple was cleared for trial — and the company’s problems may be just getting started. For Apple, the worry is that this case could snowball to become yet another existential regulatory problem. The action was brought by consumer group Which?, which accused Apple of breaching UK competition law by giving its iCloud storage service preferential treatment and “trapping” customers with Apple devices into using iCloud. Trapping happy customers Apple achieves this by encouraging its customers to sign [...]
The US government decision to force Anthropic to close down its latest and greatest AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, was only the next step in a burgeoning battle between AI providers and ignorant politicians. Anthropic was on top of the world. Its Mythos 5 LLM had everyone excited. (If you believe the hype, it was kind of scary, too.) Even Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei admitted — or boasted? — that Mythos would bring an “enormous increase in the amount of vulnerabilities, in the amount of breaches” to us all. But with that fear came the promise of more [...]
Nvidia and Microsoft this month touted the reinvention of computers with a new class of “agentic AI PCs” that will “reinvent the way PCs work.” That’s how Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang described the computers at the recent Computex trade show. At the event, Nvidia introduced its first AI-focused PC chip called N1X, which has an integrated CPU and GPU and will be used in agentic AI PCs. Nvidia’s new RTX Spark PCs are the first in a major “PC reinvention for 40 years,” Huang said, likening them to AI phones. “You could talk to it, it could look at you. [...]
