NEWS UPDATES

Meta Eyes $10B+ Scale AI Bet

Meta is discussing an investment exceeding $10 billion in Scale AI, the data-labeling startup valued at nearly $14 billion, though terms remain fluid. This move could deepen Meta’s AI infrastructure, complementing its $65 billion AI spending and accelerating model training and research access. Smart executives should track how this deal shapes Meta’s data strategy and competitive edge.

Apple WWDC 2025: Major iOS Redesign Ahead

Apple kicks off WWDC 2025 today, with a big focus on a full visual redesign of iOS - the biggest since 2013 - and a shift to naming updates by year, like iOS 26. Smaller AI updates may follow, including smarter Siri, AI in Messages and Health, and live translation for AirPods. This signals Apple’s move to tighten ecosystem control through design and everyday AI use.

Microsoft Adds AI Safety Ranking

Microsoft launched a safety ranking system for AI models on its Azure Foundry platform, focused on privacy and data security. The feature aims to help users compare model risk across providers like xAI and Mistral. This move positions Microsoft as a trust-first AI vendor, signaling that future enterprise AI tools may compete as much on safety as on capability.
