In an effort to improve customer support, Apple is apparently creating an AI chatbot for its Support app that is modelled after ChatGPT. Before connecting customers to live agents, the Support Assistant tool provides immediate assistance using generative AI models. Uploading files and images can be possible in order to visually diagnose problems or confirm warranty status. Code discovered by MacRumors indicates that the assistant will serve as a middleman, offering prompt responses but warning users not to take its advice seriously. This represents a change from Apples previous opposition to "bolton chatbots," which was part of a larger move towards integrated AI experiences. The chatbot could improve troubleshooting throughout Apples device ecosystem and drastically cut down on wait times. Read More..

In a direct challenge to Google Chromes hegemony, OpenAI plans to release a Chromiumbased AIpowered web browser. With its chatfirst design, the browser incorporates AI agents like Operator to do tasks like booking, formfilling, and content summarisation, eliminating the need to visit several websites. OpenAI now has greater authority over user interaction data, which is a valuable resource in Googles adsupported economy. The adoption of ChatGPT, with over 500 million weekly users, may disrupt Chromes market share and ad revenue. Amid antitrust inquiry, OpenAI contemplated purchasing Chrome and hired former Chrome engineers. The browser is an audacious move into search and browsing infrastructure, reflecting OpenAIs larger ambition to integrate AI into everyday operations and grow its consumerfacing ecosystem.

Donald Trump, the president of the United States, has declared an additional 10% tariff on all BRICS countries, including India, claiming that the group is undermining the dominance of the U.S. dollar. Trump said during a Cabinet meeting that BRICS was created to "hurt the U.S." and threatened to "soon pay" the fee. The decision comes after BRICS leaders demanded a rulesbased multilateral trading framework and criticised unilateral tariffs during their Rio Summit. Trump stressed that there would be no exceptions and that, absent new trade agreements, the tariffs would go into place on August 1, 2025. As BRICS increases its power and promotes dedollarization and solidarity among the Global South, the declaration exacerbates trade tensions worldwide. Read More..

Jio Delays $100B IPO to Deepen Digital Play and Outpace Starlink

Dependence Originally scheduled for 2025, Jio Platforms has delayed its muchanticipated initial public offering IPO in order to concentrate on increas

Dependence Originally scheduled for 2025, Jio Platforms has delayed its muchanticipated initial public offering IPO in order to concentrate on increasing revenue and subscriber growth. Jio wants to further develop its digital and telecom operations before going public, despite analysts valuations of the company being over $100 billion. Although its yearly revenue of $17.6 billion is mostly from telecom operations, it is fast diversifying into AI, apps, and connected products. Additionally, the delay enables Jio to fortify its position in advance of Elon Musks Starlink launch in India. The company has not yet hired any investment bankers, and longterm valuation is its top priority. Investor confidence is unaffected by the delay, as Jios partnerships—such as those with Google, Meta, and Nvidia—support its aspirations for a digital ecosystem. Read More..

Rockerbox Breach Exposes 246K Records, Including SSNs and Military IDs

An insecure Azure Blob storage container caused a significant data breach at the U.S.based tax consulting firm Rockerbox, exposing around 246,000 reco

An insecure Azure Blob storage container caused a significant data breach at the U.S.based tax consulting firm Rockerbox, exposing around 246,000 records. Jeremiah Fowler, a cybersecurity researcher, found the 286.9GB archive, which included sensitive personally identifiable information PII such as names, addresses, emails, Social Security numbers, drivers licenses, and work information. Military discharge forms DD214 and compensation information were also included in some of the documents. Certain passwordprotected PDFs nevertheless contained PII in their filenames, and the files were saved in plain text. Despite being informed, Rockerbox did not reply to the researcher and instead secured the database. Although there isnt currently any proof of malevolent exploitation, the hack highlights the dangers of inadequate cloud security procedures and the potential longterm hazard of personal data exposure.
