Plus: Ukrainian drones defeated US forces in a military exercise. The police-tech giant Flock is changing officers' access to its nationwide network of license plate readers. The move comes amid a backlash over mass surveillance and reports of officers using the technology to stalk and harass current or former romantic partners. To combat that, the company will require them to enter a criminal case number before searching its database and expand automated auditing of suspicious searches.

Provisions in the EU AI Act for watermarking AI-generated text will likely struggle to keep AI slop purveyors in check. Starting soon, all text that's either generated or "processed" by Claude will bear invisible AI watermarks that can be detected with the right tools, a move made in response to new European Union regulations regarding the disclosure of AI-generated content. Anthropic's wide-ranging pledge to watermark Claude-generated text (including code generated by Claude Code) goes above and beyond the mandates in the EU AI Act, which took effect earlier this month.

Apple trains its own AI model for China market with Alibaba's support, sources say People walk past a booth showcasing Apple's suppliers during the China International Supply Chain Expo in Beijing on June 22.

The AI model was developed in partnership with Alibaba Group and trained with the Chinese tech giant's support, the people said, declining to be named as the information is sensitive and not public. Apple's training of its own China-specific model has not been reported before. The company had previously leaned toward domestic partners' models to bring generative AI to iPhones and other devices sold in China, where U.S. models such as Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's ChatGPT, which Apple pairs with its own technology in its home market, are not available.

OpenAI is expected to release a comprehensive postmortem detailing the incident in the coming days.

A Massachusetts teenager accused of killing his mother and younger brother is being held without bail as authorities investigate a double-murder case that prosecutors say is connected to his use of ChatGPT. Arjun Aravind, 17, appeared on Thursday morning for his arraignment in Concord district court, where a not-guilty plea was entered on his behalf to murder and several additional charges.

The investigation began after the teenager's tutor arrived for a scheduled appointment at the home on Tuesday and "was unable to make contact with residents upon arrival", prosecutors said. The teen's father, who had last spoken with his wife before leaving for work that morning, then contacted police.
