💥 Elon Musk says all human data for AI training ‘exhausted’ LINK

Elon Musk stated that AI has exhausted almost all available real-world data for model training, a situation he claims occurred last year.

Musk suggested that AI will now need to rely on synthetic data, generated by AI itself, to continue its development, a view shared by other tech companies like Microsoft and Meta.

While synthetic data offers cost savings, it also poses risks, such as model collapse and increased bias, which could affect the effectiveness and creativity of AI outputs.

🤖 Samsung’s new AI Club will let you rent a robot LINK

Samsung has introduced the AI Subscription Club, a program allowing users to rent its latest AI-powered gadgets like phones and robots for a monthly fee, similar to leasing a car.

The subscription includes optional maintenance services, providing protection for rented devices such as the AI robot Ballie or Galaxy phones, ensuring users have access to support for accidental damage.

Initially launched in South Korea, the AI Subscription Club began as a rental service for home appliances, and Samsung sees this expansion into mobile devices as a way to make high-tech gadgets more accessible while securing a steady revenue stream.

🔒 Apple says Siri isn’t sending your conversations to advertisers LINK

Apple has agreed to pay $95 million to settle a lawsuit alleging that Siri recordings were shared with advertisers without user consent.

Apple stated that it has never used Siri data for marketing, advertising, or sold it to third parties, and is committed to enhancing Siri's privacy.

The company clarified that it no longer keeps audio recordings of Siri interactions unless users opt-in, and processes requests on-device when feasible.

🧠 Omi introduces an AI 'brain-reading' wearable LINK

Based Hardware introduced Omi, an AI wearable, at the Consumer Electronics Show, designed to enhance productivity by acting as a complementary device to smartphones.

Omi can be worn as a necklace or attached to the head, using a "brain interface" to detect user interaction, and it runs on an open-source platform to address privacy concerns.

The device, priced at $89 for consumers and available in 2025, offers features like answering questions and creating to-do lists, while developers have created over 250 apps for it.

📅 Apple develops new app for event management LINK

Apple is reportedly working on an app named "Invites" for organizing meetings and events, as indicated by code found in the iOS 18.3 beta.

The app might include features like listing invited attendees and confirming their attendance, with potential integration with iCloud and a web version.

The appearance of this code in iOS 18.3 beta doesn't guarantee a release, as it might be an experiment or postponed for a future update.
