Cybersecurity expert Kaspersky has discovered critical vulnerabilities in Apple's iOS and macOS operating systems, including a flaw that allows attackers to gain access to user details and root privileges on iOS, potentially compromising the security of crypto assets. To protect against such incidents, users must update their iOS devices to version 16.4.1 and Mac to macOS 13.3.1. Slow Mist, a blockchain security firm, confirmed the seriousness of the vulnerabilities and urged users to update their devices.

The top lawyer representing the U.S. DOJ in its antitrust case against Google has accused the tech giant of stifling AI innovation through monopolizing the search market via exclusivity deals.

The DOJ is expected to give its verdict this summer. Kenneth Dintzer argued that the exclusivity deals should have been terminated the moment Google gained its monopoly, as Google pays billions to Apple every year to give it a competitive edge as the default search engine on the Safari web browser. In court, Dintzer questioned if AI innovation would have been stifled if Google had not maintained its monopoly. The report also mentions the AI chatbot ChatGPT, which has been at the forefront of conversations about AI development, although it has not been without controversy.
