To bolster its AI portfolio, Meta purchased PlayAI, a voice AI business that specialises in voice cloning and humanlike speech synthesis. Under Johan Schalkwyk, a former Sesame AI employee, the whole PlayAI team will join Meta and work on initiatives including wearables, AI characters, Meta AI, and audio content production. This acquisition comes after Meta invested $14.3 billion in Scale AI, whose CEO, Alexandr Wang, is now in charge of Metas Superintelligence Labs. Realtime, emotionally charged voice production is made possible by PlayAIs technology, and it may power upcoming Meta devices like Quest headsets and RayBan smart glasses. As it competes for top talent and seeks to spearhead the next wave of AIdriven user experiences, the deal highlights Metas aggressive push towards voicefirst AI interfaces. Read More..

The goal of Googles formal announcement is to create a single operating system that would work seamlessly on laptops, tablets, and phones by combining ChromeOS with Android. Similar to Apples integrated ecosystem, Sameer Samat, President of the Android Ecosystem, said the integration will improve productivity and expedite development. With ChromeOS now built on the Android stack, app compatibility will increase and fragmentation will decrease. With a single toolchain for developers, users may anticipate an enhanced multiwindow user interface, support for external displays, and Linux app integration. According to sources, a Pixel Laptop prototype running desktop Android may further solidify Androids dominance in the market for largescreen devices. Even though the distribution can take years, this is a significant change in Googles platform strategy. Read More..

Microsoft Outlook Suffers Global Outage, Millions Locked Out Since 350 AM IST

Since 350 AM IST on July 10, users of desktop, mobile, and web platforms have been unable to access their emails due to a worldwide outage in Microsof

Since 350 AM IST on July 10, users of desktop, mobile, and web platforms have been unable to access their emails due to a worldwide outage in Microsoft Outlook. More than 62% of users reported having trouble logging in, and others experienced server problems and errors such as "invalid licenses" or "something went wrong." Microsoft blames a lowperforming mailbox infrastructure, which may have been caused by a malfunctioning authentication component. The business is actively implementing a repair, reports that development is "quicker than anticipated," and anticipates a slow recovery. OneDrive and Teams are among the other Microsoft 365 services that are unaffected. This is one of the longest Outlook outages in recent memory, which raises questions about dependability as personal and business communication become more reliant on Microsofts ecosystem.

Alphabet’s Isomorphic Labs Prepares for First Human Trials of AICreated Cancer Drugs

Alphabets Isomorphic Labs, which was formed from Google DeepMind, is getting ready to test cancer medications created only using artificial intelligen

Alphabets Isomorphic Labs, which was formed from Google DeepMind, is getting ready to test cancer medications created only using artificial intelligence on humans. The platform, which is based on the AlphaFold 3 system, simplifies drug development by simulating the interactions between proteins and DNA, RNA, and drug molecules. In April 2025, the business raised $600 million and collaborated with Novartis and Eli Lilly to develop immunology and oncology therapies. By lowering R&D expenses and increasing success rates, Isomorphic hopes to create a toptier drug design engine. Although encouraging, the strategy raises questions about responsibility, openness, and accessibility. Ownership rights, affordability, and regulatory supervision are still up for debate. If effective, this might revolutionise the way medications are found and administered, marking a watershed in AIdriven medicine. Read More..

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..
