A Eye on AI - 12:30 PM
Google is making K-12 schools choose between accepting its AI features and keeping Google Search for student accounts, a change reported by TechCrunch and The Verge. We also look at Apple's new App Store rule requiring 18+ ratings for dating and AI companion apps, and the copyright lawsuit filed by The New York Times and other publishers against Brave over alleged AI scraping and paywall bypassing. Plus, Apple Watch Audio Intelligence enters beta with conversation recap features, and OpenAI's plan to retire ChatGPT Classic as it folds ChatGPT, Work, and Codex into one desktop app.
