Right now the big story is regulation catching up with AI. The European Commission just put ChatGPT under the Digital Services Act, which means OpenAI has a compliance clock ticking on transparency and risk rules. At the same time Anthropic is dealing with a real security mess — infostealer malware grabbed session cookies, and attackers used those stolen sessions to log into Claude accounts and burn through AI tokens. That happened twice, two separate reports in one day. On the product side Google baked three new AI travel tools straight into Search so you can book flights and hotels without leaving results. Skild AI showed a robot foundation model that learns tasks just by watching a video. Adobe made its AI suite free across Saudi Arabia for a year. Apple dropped a Mac mini with a two nanometer M6 chip, and Nvidia put a billion dollars into MediaTek in Taiwan to co-develop data center, PC and automotive silicon. Apple also pushed the sixth public beta of its next OS lineup, and NASA's Swift telescope is back doing science after a private rescue mission failed to lift its orbit.

AI regulation and security

The European Commission announced that ChatGPT will fall under the Digital Services Act, starting a compliance countdown for OpenAI to meet new transparency and risk obligations in the EU.

Anthropic disclosed two separate security incidents: infostealer malware stole authenticated session data from users, and attackers used those hijacked sessions to access Claude accounts and mine AI tokens on compromised accounts.

New AI tools and chips

Google added three AI-driven ways to book flights and hotels directly from Search. Skild AI released its S1 robot foundation model, letting robots learn new tasks by watching a video demonstration.

Adobe will offer its AI tools free across Saudi Arabia for a full year, announced at LEAP 2026 in Riyadh. Apple unveiled a Mac mini powered by a new two nanometer M6 processor, marking a shift for its entry-level desktop line.

Nvidia invested one billion dollars in Taiwanese chipmaker MediaTek to expand collaboration on AI data-center chips, PC processors and automotive platforms.

Software betas and space

Apple released the sixth public beta of its upcoming operating systems — iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27 and tvOS 27 — for anyone enrolled in the beta program to download.

NASA confirmed the Swift space telescope has restarted scientific observations after an unsuccessful private mission attempted to boost its orbit.

Questions people ask

What does the EU's Digital Services Act mean for ChatGPT?

The European Commission has designated ChatGPT as a very large online platform under the DSA, which starts a compliance countdown for OpenAI to meet new transparency and risk obligations.

How were Anthropic accounts compromised?

Attackers used infostealer malware to steal authenticated session data, then used those sessions to access Claude accounts and mine AI tokens on behalf of victims.

What chips are coming from the Nvidia MediaTek deal?

The one billion dollar investment aims to expand collaboration on AI data-center chips, PC processors and automotive platforms, though no specific products were announced.
