European lawmakers on Thursday adopted a comprehensive report on technological sovereignty and digital infrastructure that directs the European Commission to reduce the bloc’s heavy reliance on foreign technology providers across semiconductors, cloud infrastructure, software, and AI systems. The report passed 471-68 in the full Parliament, with 77% voting in favor and support from major parties including the European People’s Party, Social Democrats, Liberals, and Greens. While non-binding, it directs the European Commission to map critical technology dependencies across the board, then develop policies reducing reliance on foreign providers. The vote comes as geopolitical tensions drive technology strategy changes across European [...]
Here in the land of Android, we’ve got an almost comical kind of first-world problem: So many new features fly our way so frickin’ often that it’s all too easy to overlook something interesting — or maybe just try it out a few times and then completely forget to keep using it. That latter path is exactly what happened to me with an exceptionally useful and off-the-beaten-path Android experience-enhancer. It’s one of the simplest ways to improve your days and give yourself a much more pleasant path for ingesting info on your phone. And yet, it’s so out of sight [...]
AI chatbots have been with us three years and one month (at least the kind that use large language models (LLMs) to communicate with natural-sounding words). Already norms are emerging in some professions for users to disclose how they use AI. For example: Organizations such as the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors created policies for disclosing AI use in scientific manuscripts. Some US lawyers are required to declare how AI tools are used for content presented in court, and the State Bar of California advises lawyers to tell clients when they intend to use AI during representation. Amazon requires [...]
Workers are getting fed up with AI-based hiring practices. A new class action lawsuit filed in California alleges that human candidates are being unfairly profiled by “hidden” AI hiring technologies that “lurk in the background” to collect “sensitive and often inaccurate” information about “unsuspecting” job applicants. The suit specifically targets Eightfold AI, claiming that tools used by the company should be regulated in the same way as credit report bureaus are via The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and state laws based on it. The case could have broad-reaching implications for the increased use of AI in hiring. “This lawsuit [...]
A lawsuit filed by Spotify and several major record labels was behind the shutdown of several of Anna’s Archive’s domains earlier this year. This is according to recently published documents from a federal court in the US, reports Torrentfreak. The background to this is that in December 2025, Anna’s Archive stated that the site had backed up Spotify and planned to release large amounts of collected data. According to the lawsuit, the archive circumvented Spotify’s DRM and scraped metadata and audio files linked to hundreds of millions of songs. On December 29, Spotify, together with companies such as Universal, Sony, [...]
Anthropic has completely overhauled the “Claude constitution”, a document that sets out the ethical parameters governing its AI model’s reasoning and behavior. Launched at the World Economic Forum’s Davos Summit, the new constitution’s principles are that Claude should be “broadly safe” (not undermining human oversight), “Broadly ethical” (honest, avoiding inappropriate, dangerous, or harmful actions), “genuinely helpful” (benefitting its users), as well as being “compliant with Anthropic’s guidelines”. According to Anthropic, the constitution is already being used in Claude’s model training, making it fundamental to its process of reasoning. Claude’s first constitution appeared in May 2023, a modest 2,700-word document that [...]
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella warns that the AI boom could become a speculative bubble if the technology does not gain wider acceptance outside of large technology companies and wealthy economies. “For this not to be a bubble by definition, the benefits need to be spread much more evenly,” Nadella said at the World Economic Forum in Davos, according to the Financial Times. Nadella says that he is confident that AI will transform several industries. “I am much more convinced that this is a technology that will actually build on the foundation of cloud and mobile platforms, spread faster, bend the [...]
More details about the expected cadence of Apple’s plans to turn Siri into an AI-driven chatbot are emerging, and Mark Gurman tells us Apple has a two-tier approach in mind. The current thinking is that Apple’s Gemini-powered chatbot will arrive in June with iOS 26.4, which will be a significant improvement in itself. “Other than the chatbot interface, the operating systems aren’t getting big changes this year,” Gurman wrote. “Apple is more focused on improving performance and fixing bugs.” Project Campos But Apple won’t stop there; it’s also developing a project, codenamed Campos, to bring a more serious chatbot experience in the form of [...]
Cisco has released patches for a critical remote code execution vulnerability in its unified communications products that attackers are actively exploiting. The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has added the flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, confirming the exploitation. Cisco disclosed CVE-2026-20045 along with patches for Unified Communications Manager, Unity Connection, and Webex Calling Dedicated Instance. The company assigned the vulnerability a “Critical” severity rating despite its CVSS score of 8.2. “Cisco has assigned this security advisory a Security Impact Rating (SIR) of Critical rather than High as the score indicates,” the company said in its advisory. “The [...]
Work-from-office mandates are accelerating as the world moves further away from the COVID-19 pandemic, but the push toward in-person work environments will make it more difficult for IT leaders to retain and recruit staff, some experts say. Over the past year, many companies, including IT giants Amazon and Microsoft, have required employees to work from the office, with many other organizations mandating on-site work in previous years. Nearly half of all workers, and nearly two-thirds of IT professionals, were feeling pressure from their employers to work from the office as of early 2025, according to the 2025 Technology at Work [...]
