NEWS UPDATES

Altman and Musk Push Super App Future

Sam Altman’s Worldcoin is now in the US, linking digital ID, crypto wallets, and chat in one app verified by eye scans. Elon Musk’s X is also moving fast, planning finance tools with Visa. Both aim to build “everything apps”- mix of money, social, and identity. Worldcoin’s user base just hit 26M. Altman also announced a Visa debit card and hinted at OpenAI tie-ins. This shift matters because it shows how digital identity, AI, and money are merging - fast.

Apple Builds AI Tool for Coders with the Help of Anthropic

Apple is testing a new AI coding tool inside Xcode using Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet model. It helps write, edit, and test code through a chat interface. The rollout is internal for now. This follows delays in Apple’s broader AI plans, including Siri. This signals Apple’s push to catch up in AI by embedding it directly into developer tools.

Google Expands Gemini to Kids (Supervised)

Google will soon allow kids under 13 to use its Gemini AI app with Family Link supervision. Parents can control access and get notified on first use. Gemini works across Android, iOS, and web and can be set as the default assistant. This shows how AI tools are entering early education, raising new questions around safety, oversight, and digital habits.
