U.S. Apple customers who purchased some iPhone models should submit claims for compensation for the company's delayed introduction of Apple Intelligence features it originally announced in June 2024. Payments could be worth 25 to 95 per device. To qualify, you must submit your claim by December 21, 2026. Apple was hit with a class action lawsuit on the basis that people purchasing iPhones between June 10, 2024, and March 29, 2025, did so believing it would ship Apple Intelligence sooner than it did. While not making an admission of guilt, the company agreed to a 250 million settlement to make up for those delays, which saw features delayed for release until fall 2025 and later.

Meta is making another concession to privacy critics as it tries to get ahead of the ongoing privacy backlash against its AI glasses. Now, the company says it will allow people to opt out of having their "visual data" from the glasses used for AI training. The change means that users can opt of having their camera-based interactions with Meta AI being used to train the company's models. Those images will also not be shown to third-party contractors in other countries. "If you've opted out and you ask your glasses to translate a menu, we'll use your visual data to answer your question and then it's gone," Meta explained.

The roster of people who have self-pwned by typing the wrong information into ChatGPT continues to grow. Samsung engineers, the acting director of America's cyber defense agency, self-represented litigants who provide citations to court cases that don't exist, a man who swapped table salt for sodium bromide after asking how to cut salt from his diet... the list is too long. Even everyone's favorite all-lowercase techbro CEO Sam Altman concedes that what you're sharing with ChatGPT isn't privileged. Speaking to podcaster Theo Von in July 2025, he highlighted how courts could force OpenAI to hand over chats, calling it "very screwed up." Tell a doctor, lawyer or therapist something and the law shields that conversation, but telling ChatGPT creates an audit trail.

The Canadian province of British Columbia has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI over the company's failure to notify authorities about the Tumbler Ridge shooter's conversations with its chatbot. According to the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, the lawsuit accuses the company of designing an unsafe product and of negligence for not alerting law enforcement about the shooter's chats. It claims the shooting could have been prevented if the company had heeded its human reviewers' advice to notify the Royal Canadian Mounted Police about the shooter's activities on its service. In February, the Canadian government demanded safety changes from OpenAI after reports came out that it didn't alert authorities after its employees flagged the account of the shooter in 2025, because it contained potential warnings of committing real-world violence. While the shooter's original account was banned, OpenAI eventually discovered that she made a second account.

A Canadian province is suing OpenAI over its alleged failure to notify authorities about concerning user interactions on ChatGPT prior to the Tumbler Ridge mass shooting. The company has previously apologised for not flagging Jessie Van Rootselaar's account to law enforcement before the 18-year-old killed eight people, including six children, in February. British Columbia attorney general Niki Sharma said the lawsuit, filed to a US federal court on Monday, raised questions about the responsibilities of technology companies when they become aware of credible threats of serious violence. Families of those killed or injured in the shooting have filed separate lawsuits against OpenAI. Media reports revealed that Van Rootselaar's ChatGPT activity was flagged by OpenAI's safety team for references to gun violence months before the attack, but the company did not alert local authorities.

Executives from OpenAI and Microsoft were reportedly worried about ChatGPT training that scraped millions of news articles, The New York Times reported. Microsoft's director of Applied Science, Dr. Brent Hecht, said OpenAI's work was akin to the "largest theft of labor in human history" that could create a "doom loop," while OpenAI exec Nick Turley said it represented an "existential threat to publishers." Those comments came out of newly unsealed court documents as part of a lawsuit launched by The New York Times against OpenAI and Microsoft in 2023. Only snippets from the documents were made public without any context around them. Several such lawsuits have already swung in favor of AI companies, but judges have pointedly stated that their rulings were made because the law around AI use has yet to be settled.
