Google now uses your data to train AI by default — here is how to opt out

Google has updated its privacy settings to allow the company to use more of your personal data for training its artificial intelligence systems. This change applies by default, meaning users are automatically opted in unless they take action. The update affects anyone who uses Google's services, potentially including search activity, browsing behavior, and other interactions. Users who wish to prevent their data from being used for AI training can do so by adjusting their Google account privacy settings. Knowing where to find and change these settings is important for those concerned about how their data is being used.

Alibaba's AI Models Win Developer Fans but Struggle to Generate Revenue

Alibaba has gained significant recognition in the artificial intelligence space, with its AI models attracting developers across the globe. The company's models have been widely adopted due to their strong performance and accessibility. However, because the models are open source, anyone can use, modify, and distribute them freely without paying Alibaba. This open-source approach, while boosting adoption and visibility, makes it difficult for the Chinese tech giant to directly monetize its AI investments. The challenge highlights a broader tension in the AI industry between maximizing reach through openness and building a sustainable business model.

US firms argue that this practice gives Chinese rivals an unfair advantage in the global AI race. The controversy has brought renewed attention to the competitive and geopolitical tensions surrounding AI development between the two countries.

Wearing Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses for Surveillance Reveals a Real Privacy Problem

A Verge writer reflects on the uncomfortable experience of handling others' private information while testing smart glasses. The piece draws on Netflix's 'A Man on the Inside,' where Ted Danson plays a widower-turned-spy who uses Ray-Ban Meta glasses to covertly gather information inside a retirement home. The show, the writer argues, inadvertently highlights one of the most pressing cultural issues surrounding smart glasses today. Hollywood has long shaped — and distorted — public expectations of wearable tech, but this portrayal stands out for capturing the ethical weight of surveillance in everyday settings.

Reddit Deploys Large Language Models to Combat AI-Generated Spam

Reddit is now using large language models (LLMs) to detect and remove spam on its platform. The problem is particularly pressing because LLMs themselves have made it significantly easier for bad actors to flood platforms with automated, low-quality content. This has forced platforms like Reddit into a reactive position, using the same underlying technology to counter threats it helped create. The move reflects a broader trend across online platforms that are increasingly turning to AI-based tools to moderate AI-generated content at scale.

Xtra Muse Portable Camera Hits Record Low of $329, Undercutting DJI Osmo Pocket 3

The Xtra Muse, a portable vlogging camera widely considered near-identical to the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, has dropped to $329 on Amazon — its lowest price to date and roughly $100 less than it cost three months ago. By comparison, the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is currently selling for $378, down from its usual $500 price point. DJI has not commented on any involvement with Xtra, though a previous report described the Muse as virtually the same product in most measurable ways. A firmware update released in February resolved an earlier limitation, enabling the Muse to connect wirelessly to various microphones including DJI's own Mic 2, Mini, and Mic 3. The camera is suited for vlogging and general video recording where users want higher quality footage than a smartphone typically offers.
