iPhone voice recognition controversy: 'Racist' converts to 'Trump'
Kevin O'Leary joins "The Brian Kilmeade Show" to discuss working with Frank McCourt to buy TikTok and the dangers of DeepSeek. Have you ever stumbled upon a video on social media that made you question the technology you use every day? That's exactly what happened to me recently, and it led me down a rabbit hole of unexpected discoveries about my iPhone's voice-to-text feature. It all began when I came across a TikTok video claiming that when using Apple's voice-to-text feature, saying the word "racist" would initially result in the word "Trump" being typed before quickly correcting itself. Intrigued and somewhat skeptical, I felt compelled to investigate this claim myself.

10 years of Siri: the history of Apple's voice assistant
Has it really been 10 years of Siri? The Apple voice assistant was originally integrated into the iPhone 4S way back in October 2011, and we're now here to wish Siri a very happy 10th birthday. Sparking a trend for smart voice assistants across the board, Siri certainly changed how we all interact with technology these days, with the rise of Alexa no doubt helped substantially by the presence of Siri before it. It's possible that some of you won't remember the early beginnings of Siri – which is why we've taken a walk down memory lane and looked at the history behind how Siri came to be. We've also looked at just what it was like to use back in those early days, and considered what the next 10 years could mean for the (mostly) helpful voice assistant.

Lost in the Woods -- an AI Rescue Story!
Timmy's first experience with a project-based learning activity was exciting. He loved the idea that he was able to help the homeless people in his neighborhood. As part of the experience, he was able to meet with and talk to business owners, local area experts, and the city mayor. His continued efforts resulted in renewed community support for the homeless problem and the building of two new homeless shelters in his neighborhood. When his science teacher indicated that his class was about to embark on a new project-based learning activity, he was excited once again.
McDonald's is testing voice recognition software in Chicago for drive-thru orders
Customers using the drive-thru at 10 McDonald's locations in Chicago are not ordering burgers and fries with human employees, but machines using artificial intelligence. The fast-food chain is testing voice recognition software at select locations that has shown to be 85 percent accurate – but 20 percent of orders need human intervention, CNBC reports. CEO Chris Kempczinski made the announcement Wednesday, but also explained that the software may not roll out to all of the fast-food chain's 14,000 locations. 'Now there's a big leap from going to 10 restaurants in Chicago to 14,000 restaurants across the U.S., with an infinite number of promo permutations, menu permutations, dialect permutations, weather -- and on and on and on,' Kempczinski said, per CNBC. The technology, according to McDonald's, aims to shorten the wait at the drive-thru by a yet to-be determined amount of time.

'AI Farms' Are at the Forefront of China's Global Ambitions
He weighs a little over 100 pounds, has auburn dyed hair, and wears a hoodie emblazoned with the words "Dope Shit." But in China's rise to superpower status, the 20-year-old student is a foot soldier playing a vital role. Yin works at Bainiaohe Digital Town, a tech hub set deep in the tree-covered hills of China's southwestern province of Guizhou. The region is traditionally known for growing tea and producing fiery Moutai liquor, but today it's luring Yin, and hundreds of young Chinese like him, to work in the booming sector of Artificial Intelligence or AI. For eight hours each day, they sit at computer terminals on brightly colored swivel chairs and help refine the reliability of facial and voice recognition software, driverless car programs, and even mobile apps that are used to identify plants and insects.
