Google is enhancing Gmail with a feature designed to make keeping track of online orders much easier. The platform has started rolling out a new “Purchases” tab, which gathers all shopping-related emails into one organized place. This includes details from both recent and past orders, helping users quickly find shipping confirmations and delivery updates without digging through their inbox. The feature builds on Gmail’s existing package-tracking tools, which were first introduced in 2022. At that time, users gained the ability to view real-time delivery information directly within their inbox, rather than navigating to courier websites. With the new tab, Google…
OpenAI has taken a significant step toward reshaping its corporate structure. The AI company announced it has reached a nonbinding agreement with Microsoft, its largest investor, to transform its for-profit arm into a public benefit corporation (PBC). If regulators give the green light, the move could pave the way for OpenAI to attract more investors and eventually pursue a public listing. A Shift in Structure According to OpenAI board chairman Bret Taylor, the nonprofit entity that currently governs the organization will remain intact and continue overseeing the company’s operations. As part of the arrangement, the nonprofit will secure a stake…
Email remains one of the biggest gateways for cyberattacks, and with the rise of AI-driven phishing schemes, the problem is only growing worse. Two former Google security leaders, Cy Khormaee and Ryan Luo, have decided to take the fight to hackers by launching AegisAI, a startup that uses autonomous AI agents to stop malicious emails before they land in an inbox. The company has just emerged from stealth with $13 million in seed funding, co-led by Accel and Foundation Capital. The Growing Email Threat According to the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), over 90% of cyberattacks begin with…
Roughly 500,000 authors are set to receive payouts of at least $3,000 each as part of a massive $1.5 billion settlement with Anthropic, the AI company behind the chatbot Claude. At first glance, this looks like a groundbreaking win for creative professionals. But for many writers, the deal feels more like a hollow victory than true justice. The Bigger Picture This case, Bartz v. Anthropic, represents the largest settlement in U.S. copyright history. However, the payout doesn’t address the real issue: how artificial intelligence companies are using copyrighted works to fuel their models. Tech companies like Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and…

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has reactivated a $2 million agreement with Israeli spyware company Paragon, almost a year after it was initially frozen. The deal, signed in 2023, was placed under a “stop work order” by the Biden administration shortly after approval. Officials wanted time to assess whether the contract complied with a presidential order restricting the government’s use of commercial spyware that could be abused to monitor U.S. citizens or undermine human rights abroad. For months, it appeared the agreement might lapse quietly. But a new entry on the Federal Procurement Data System dated August 30 shows…
TikTok is rolling out new messaging features that allow users to communicate in more personal and engaging ways. The platform confirmed that users can now send voice notes and share up to nine photos or videos within both private and group chats. This update signals TikTok’s efforts to move beyond being just a video-sharing hub and toward becoming a more versatile communication platform. By enabling richer conversations, TikTok aims to compete with established messaging apps that already offer similar tools. Voice Notes for More Natural Conversations One of the key updates is the introduction of voice messages, which lets users…
Meta is tightening the rules around how its AI-powered chatbots interact with teenagers, following growing criticism over safety concerns. The company announced new measures designed to prevent young users from engaging in conversations on sensitive or potentially harmful topics. Restricting Sensitive Conversations Under the latest changes, Meta’s AI assistants will no longer respond to teen inquiries about self-harm, suicide, eating disorders, or romantic and sexual themes. Instead of engaging in these conversations, the bots will now direct teens toward professional resources or safe alternatives. The company described these steps as temporary, with more permanent protections expected to roll out in…
The FBI has revealed that a Chinese-backed hacking group known as Salt Typhoon has compromised the networks of more than 200 companies across the United States. The operation, which has been active for years, highlights the growing cybersecurity threat posed by state-sponsored groups. According to Brett Leatherman, the FBI’s assistant director for cyber, the scale of the campaign extends far beyond U.S. borders. In fact, companies in at least 80 other countries have also been affected. While specific victims were not named this time, past reports confirmed that major telecom giants such as AT&T, Verizon, and Lumen were targeted. Additional…
