To make generative AI tools (genAI) work as well as possible, tech companies have chosen to train their large language models (LLMs) on large amounts of text, even though doing so could run afoul of copyright laws. Most recently, book publisher Penguin Random House has chosen to include a warning in its books stating the content may not be used or reproduced for the purpose of training AI models. And, according to The Bookseller, the AI warning will not only be added to new books but also to reprints of older titles. The move is likely to spur more publishers [...]
Microsoft will soon let customers build autonomous AI agents that can be configured to perform complex tasks with little or no input from humans. Microsoft on Monday announced that tools to build AI agents in Copilot Studio will be available in a public beta that begins at the company’s Ignite conference on Nov. 19, with pre-built agents rolling out to Dynamics 365 apps in the coming month,s too. Microsoft first unveiled plans to let users create AI agents in Copilot Studio — its low- or no-code AI development platform — in May with a private preview for select customers. Generative AI (genAI) agents can be seen [...]
Apple was behind on smartphones, until it wasn’t. It lagged the crowd in digital music players, until it didn’t. There was a time when it was woeful on wearables, until it that changed. It’s the same old story when it comes to Apple Intelligence, which critics say lags behind the industry; eventually, it won’t. Think back a little longer than the Overton-allotted three news-cycles we are allowed to recollect these days, and you’ll see that in each of the above examples, Apple didn’t go for the industry jugular until it had a solution that did the job. The iPhone wasn’t Apple’s first phone; [...]
A new report from Secureworks shows that the North Korean group Nickel Tapestry has expanded its operations from getting North Korean IT workers illegally employed by companies in other countries to allowing the workers to steal data that can be used for extortion if they’re fired, according to The Register. To avoid falling victim to such scams, companies are being warned to conduct a thorough screening of their job applicants — preferably with on-site interviews. It’s also a good idea to keep an eye on security involving remote access. Warning signs to look out for include the use of Chrome [...]
Microsoft Office — best known for its Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook productivity applications — is how billions of people around the world work and study, whether they do it from home, an office, a classroom, or a combination of those. This suite of productivity tools is used by people working in more than 100 languages in nearly every country in the world, and it’s available in versions for personal, small business, enterprise, and educational use. But there is more than one way to buy Office — or, rather, to buy the license to use it. There’s the “perpetual” version of [...]
Windows 11 24H2 has been released, but behind the scenes, Microsoft is constantly working to improve the newest version of Windows. The company frequently rolls out public preview builds to members of its Windows Insider Program, allowing them to test out — and even help shape — upcoming features. Skip to the builds The Windows Insider program is divided into four channels: The Canary Channel is where platform changes (such as major updates to the Windows kernel and new APIs) are previewed. These changes are not tied to a particular Windows release and may never ship at all. Little documentation [...]

Deepak Jain, CEO of a Maryland-based IT services firm, has been indicted for fraud and making false statements after allegedly falsifying a Tier 4 data center certification to secure a $10.7 million contract with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The charges, filed by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and made public on Wednesday, claim that Jain and his co-conspirators deceived the SEC by creating a fictitious certifier, “Uptime Council,” to falsely verify his firm’s data center as meeting the highest reliability standards.

Apple released a claustrophobic submarine movie for Apple Vision Pro earlier this month, and it gave me a sinking feeling. The movie Submerged was neither augmented reality (AR) nor virtual reality (VR) nor 360-degree video. It was more like 180-degree video. According to reviews, the experience was as immersive as a submarine with a hole in it. But wait a minute, you might say. I thought Apple Vision Pro was supposed to be mainly AR. While the tech media and even the mainstream press point out that Apple Vision Pro sales aren’t anywhere near as high as Apple expected, a community [...]
Apple turned your iPhone into your wallet one decade ago. Ten years on, and the company continues to extend the digitization of personal payments, with small-scale loans, car rentals, and everything else that used to occupy space in your pocket. In the face of regulatory pressure, the company recently agreed to open up some elements of its payment/wallet services. With that in mind, it is interesting to note some of the upcoming additions to the service that Jennifer Bailey, Apple’s vice president of Apple Pay and Apple Wallet, outlined in an extensive post to celebrate 10 years of Apple Pay. In almost every case, those additions reflect wider support [...]
