An investigation by Gamers Nexus and Level1Techs, alongside independent security researchers, found LG's smart OLED TVs use Automatic Content Recognition to monitor viewing habits across all input sources and scan connected home networks, sending this data to LG Ad Solutions for targeted advertising. The team also uncovered a security flaw allowing the TVs' built-in microphone to be secretly activated for audio recording even when the set appears off, with stored recordings capable of being transmitted later once reconnected to power and internet.
Conversational AI features are letting employees speak their thoughts aloud rather than type and heavily edit emails, reports, and presentations. This shift could reduce time spent perfecting formal, buttoned-up business language in favor of a more natural, spoken tone in workplace writing.
A Washington Post review found that transcripts of conversations with ChatGPT and similar chatbots have been used as evidence in a dozen public court cases over the past two years, obtained through phone searches, subpoenas or discovery. In one lawsuit against Meta, Snap, TikTok and YouTube over alleged social media addiction, defense lawyers accessed the teenage plaintiff's ChatGPT history, including messages about a proposed settlement; the case was later settled or dropped without the transcripts affecting the outcome.
The Washington Post reports that private conversations users have had with AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude are increasingly surfacing as evidence in court proceedings. In one case, a financial executive facing federal fraud charges tried to shield his Claude conversations from prosecutors, but a judge ruled that attorney-client privilege did not apply since the chatbot is not a lawyer and his own attorneys hadn't directed him to use it.
At Copenhagen's TechBBQ conference, founders and investors repeatedly returned to questions of AI sovereignty, spurred by an earlier incident where Anthropic's models Mythos and Fable became unavailable to users outside Europe. Attendees debated whether Europe should build and own its own AI infrastructure rather than depend on U.S. and Chinese providers, with reactions ranging from serious concern to relative indifference.
Gaurav Anand, global head of Tata Communications' Customer Interaction Suite, says most enterprises have attached conversational AI and automation onto legacy customer-experience systems that were never designed for it. He argues this has left companies with disconnected digital tools rather than integrated, scalable platforms, forcing human agents to manually piece together context across siloed systems.
Businesses are increasingly asking to automate workflows or build apps and agents using no-code tools, driven by how easy it now is to spin up software. Yet many teams jump into building without first mapping requirements, ownership or long-term maintenance needs.
Anthropic has given Claude Cowork the same memory system as Claude's chat interface, so tasks and context carry over between the two. Instead of summarizing chats after they end, Claude now logs topics to memory in real time, and users can view, edit or delete these entries under a Topics section in Memory settings. The feature is live for Free, Pro and Max users on web, desktop and mobile.
Anthropic revised Claude Tag, its Slack-based agent, so it now analyzes entire conversation threads instead of assessing messages individually. The company says this context upgrade makes the agent about 30% more accurate at judging when to jump into a discussion unprompted—and when to stay silent. Executive Scott White frames this as part of a broader push toward 'multiplayer AI,' where Claude operates as a shared organizational resource rather than a private chatbot.
