Oh no, Intel is moving customer support to AI
Intel is launching'Ask Intel,' an AI virtual assistant built on Microsoft Copilot Studio to handle customer support cases and warranty checks. PCWorld reports this shift follows Intel's removal of inbound phone support in December, directing customers to online assistance instead. The AI system warns users its answers may be inaccurate, raising concerns about potential hardware damage from incorrect technical advice. If your Intel processor requires a warranty return or support, the first "person" you'll probably be dealing with at Intel will be an AI. Intel is rolling out "Ask Intel," an addition to its Intel support site, that runs on Microsoft Copilot rather than on human intervention. Ask Intel will appear as part of support.intel.com

DHS Opens a Billion-Dollar Tab With Palantir
"If you are interested in helping shape and deliver the next chapter of Palantir's work across DHS, please reach out," a Palantir executive wrote to employees about the massive purchasing agreement. The Department of Homeland Security struck a $1 billion purchasing agreement with Palantir last week, further reinforcing the software company's role in the federal agency that oversees the nation's immigration enforcement . According to contracting documents published last week, the blanket purchase agreement (BPA) awarded "is to provide Palantir commercial software licenses, maintenance, and implementation services department wide." The agreement simplifies how DHS buys software from Palantir, allowing DHS agencies like Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to essentially skip the competitive bidding process for new purchases of up to $1 billion in products and services from the company. Palantir did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
