Dozens of nations hit by 'China' hack - as Americans warned to stop sending texts
Dozens of nations have been hit by a Chinese hacking campaign, a senior White House official has said. China hacked at least eight major US telecommunication companies including AT&T, Verizon and Lumen Technologies, resulting in officials in Beijing having access to the private texts and calls of a "large number" of Americans, Washington says. Now US officials have urged Americans to use encrypted messaging apps to minimise the chances of China intercepting their communications.

Apple struggling to adapt Baidu's AI in China: report
STORY: Apple appears to be facing trouble with AI in China. Tech publication The Information says it’s struggling to adapt Baidu’s artificial intelligence models for its phones. The report says there are problems with the model’s understanding of prompts, and its accuracy in responding to common scenarios. Elsewhere in the world, Apple uses tech from ChatGPT-maker OpenAI. But AI systems from U.S. firms are unavailable in China, leaving the market to local companies. Neither firm commented on the report. But if confirmed it would be bad news for Apple in a very tough market. Recent figures showed its phone sales slipping 0.3% in China in the third quarter - while local rival Huawei posted a 42% surge. And AI is a key battleground. Apple’s launch of its latest iPhone 16 in September drew scorn in China for lacking the new technology. The Information says the tech giant’s privacy policies also block collection of data from iPhone users who make AI-related queries - data that Baidu wants to save and analyze. The report says the Chinese firm’s latest model - Ernie 4.0 - is the basis for the iPhone services.

'Large number' of Americans' metadata stolen by Chinese hackers, senior official says
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A large number of Americans' metadata has been stolen in the sweeping cyberespionage campaign carried out by a Chinese hacking group dubbed "Salt Typhoon," a senior U.S. official told journalists on Wednesday. The official declined to provide specific figures but noted that China's access to America's telecommunications infrastructure was broad and that the hacking was still ongoing. Pushed on whether that might include every American cell phone's records, the official said: "We do not believe it's every cell phone in the country, but we believe it's potentially a large number of individuals that the Chinese government was focused on."

Ai Pin maker Humane demos AI software for cars, phones, and smart speakers
When Humane released its Ai Pin, the San Francisco-based gadget maker envisioned a world with dedicated AI devices — something that you would carry with you in addition to the smartphone in your pocket. Now, Humane is pitching something new — an operating system called CosmOS that could (potentially) greatly improve all the tech devices in your life. In many ways, CosmOS hints at what Amazon's Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple's Siri could become if/when they are combined with AI agent-like capabilities.
