As people increasingly refuse to answer calls from unknown numbers, scammers are shifting their tactics by spoofing trusted phone numbers and using AI deepfake technology to sound like authority figures, family members, or employers.

Google is launching a new feature for its Phone app that aims to protect you from AI impersonation scams. Now, when you receive a call from a scammer that appears to be coming from the same number as one of your contacts, Phone by Google will flag the call as suspicious so you can hang up.

Google is launching a new feature for its Phone app that aims to protect you from AI impersonation scams. Now, when you receive a call from a scammer that appears to be coming from the same number as one of your contacts, Phone by Google will flag the call as suspicious so you can hang up. In a post explaining the update, Google describes impersonation scams as a growing threat, with the FBI reporting that Americans lost over $893 million to scams using AI in 2025. To carry out the attack, scammers spoof one of your contacts' phone numbers and then use AI-powered tech to make their voice sound like a friend, family member, or authority figu … Read the full story at The Verge.
Much like Google, Microsoft is launching its own version of OpenClaw.

Much like Google, Microsoft is launching its own version of OpenClaw. Microsoft Scout is an always-on assistant that integrates into Microsoft 365 apps like Outlook, OneDrive, and Microsoft Teams, allowing businesses to assign a virtual assistant to employees to help with organizing calendars, expense reporting, email drafts, and much more. Unlike Copilot that lives inside Microsoft 365 apps, Microsoft Scout can see and do a lot more. "This is a personal assistant, it's the first real personal assistant we've offered customers," explains Omar Shahine, corporate vice president of Microsoft Scout, in an interview with The Verge . "I think it's … Read the full story at The Verge.
Microsoft Corp. launched new artificial intelligence software designed to function like an always-active executive assistant, the latest evolution of its workplace AI efforts.

Microsoft Corp. launched new artificial intelligence software designed to function like an always-active executive assistant, the latest evolution of its workplace AI efforts. While AI bots like ChatGPT or Microsoft’s Copilot are only visible to the user, the new tool, dubbed Scout, will appear on internal email and calendar systems as if it were just another helpful employee, the software maker said on Tuesday. This means Scout will able to handle a wider range of tasks autonomously, Charles Lamanna , who leads product development for much of Microsoft’s business applications teams, said in an interview. For example, the assistant could autonomously ask a meeting organizer to reschedule if there is a timing conflict, he said. Salespeople could ask questions of their boss’s Scout assistant. “It has its own identity and therefore is shareable,” Lamanna said. Microsoft made the announcement in San Francisco on Tuesday at Build, its annual developer conference, where the company is showcasing efforts to deploy AI tools across its software. Microsoft’s stock has lagged behind cloud rivals like Amazon.com Inc. this year owing in part to a slower-than-expected uptake of Copilot and increased competition for AI coding tools. Now the company is working to show customers and Wall Street that its products are state-of-the-art. Anthropic PBC and OpenAI have each promoted AI assistants this year that can take actions by accessing users’ desktops. Scout’s uniqueness partly rests on the fact that it has been integrated with other Microsoft products. Microsoft has spent years trying to package cutting-edge AI technologies in a way that’s palatable to cautious corporations. Scout is built on OpenClaw, a platform that turns the models behind ChatGPT and Claude into always-on agents. OpenClaw went viral earlier this year owing to its ability to handle complex tasks by taking control of a user’s computer but also spurred worries about potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities.

In April, we got a short teaser for the third season of Silo , the critically acclaimed Apple TV series based on the trilogy by novelist Hugh Howey, which hinted at a mysterious origin story dating back centuries. Apple TV just released the full trailer, and it looks like our heroine is again facing conflict and danger because she just keeps asking so many inconvenient questions. As previously reported , Silo is set in a self-sustaining underground city inhabited by a community whose recorded history dates back only 140 years. The outside is a toxic hellscape that is only visible on big screens in the silo’s topmost level. The second season expanded Silo ‘s world to incorporate the survivors in the second Silo 17; everyone else died in a revolt to escape to the surface. We discovered that there are 50 silos in all. Meanwhile, another revolution was brewing in Juliette’s (Rebecca Ferguson) original Silo 18 against Holland (Tim Robbins). And even more secrets were revealed. In the season finale, Juliette returned to her silo and warned the residents not to leave, but she and Holland ended up locked in the incinerator just as it was being fired up. The final scene was a flashback, showing a woman questioning a congressman in Washington, DC, about possible retaliation after the US dropped a dirty bomb on Iran. And that brings us to S3.

Microsoft Corp. introduced a new set of software tools designed to take artificial intelligence agents off of laptop screens and place them in mobile devices for businesses. The company on Tuesday disclosed Project Solara, a platform designed to power products that users interact with primarily through AI agents. Most people use AI tools through smartphone apps or laptop web browsers. But companies, including OpenAI, Meta Platforms Inc. and Amazon.com Inc., are experimenting with ways to take AI on the go. In a demonstration on stage at Microsoft’s Build developer conference in San Francisco, the company touted two “concept designs,” engineered in partnership with chipmaker Qualcomm Inc. and Taiwan’s MediaTek Inc. Steven Bathiche, a technical fellow in Microsoft’s applied sciences group, showed off a device that’s essentially a souped-up employee badge featuring Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and wireless connectivity, a touch-screen display and fingerprint reader. The second reference device is a small, chunky desktop device with a screen, which closely resembles smart speakers like Amazon’s Echo Show line and Google’s Nest Hub. Microsoft played a video of a conversation between Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella and his Qualcomm counterpart, Cristiano Amon . The two discussed the need for new devices that can run specific AI agents in new form factors that are best suited to the environment they’re going to be operating in. Existing interfaces such as the PC and smartphone won’t always been the best answer, they said, creating the need for the kind of gadget Project Solara will enable. Microsoft says AccuWeather, Best Buy, CVS Health, Levi Strauss and others are working with the technology.

A screen of energy stocks with market capitalizations below $2B highlights Core Laboratories ( CLB ), W&T Offshore ( WTI ) and Deep Yellow ( DYLLF ) among the market's most expensive names based on valuation grades. The valuation grade compares how expensive or cheap a stock is relative to others in its sector. It is based on a combination of valuation metrics such as P/E, PEG, price to sales, and price to cash flow, using both current and forward estimates. The overall valuation grade is derived from a comparison of all underlying metrics and reflects how attractively the stock is priced compared to its sector peers.
