We're expecting Android 17 to begin rolling out later this month, but first, Google has a batch of updates for the wider Android device ecosystem. As usual, some of the new features are limited to specific devices, and others require using Google's apps. But if you don't mind the latter, you can get automated protection from the growing threat of deepfake phone scams. According to Google, "impersonation fraud" is one of the most common types of financial scams. The FTC tracked almost $3 billion in losses from such scams during 2024, and the improvements in AI voice cloning tools more recently are making the schemes easier to pull off. The voice models are becoming so capable that it can be difficult to identify a fake caller even when an AI is imitating someone you talk to every day. Google's solution is an expansion of the system it debuted last month for verified financial calls. Now, a similar feature will work with anyone in your contacts. Many of the most effective deepfake scams involve spoofing a contact's number, which makes the call look more legitimate when your phone lights up. Victims of these scams are then greeted by an accurate re-creation of the person's voice spinning a yarn that involves an urgent need for cash. Read full article Comments

Four years to the day after England’s first Test under Brendon McCullum began at Lord’s, England are adopting a fresh approach against the same opposition Four years to the day after England’s first Test under Brendon McCullum began against New Zealand at Lord’s, the start of a summer when players reached new heights and observers reached for new words to describe them, the latest incarnations of the two teams gathered in St John’s Wood as preparations ramped up for the rematch. Once again the series will begin amid talk of England adopting a fresh approach. In 2022 New Zealand batted first in all three games and in all three England chased down testing targets to seal victory. The attacking approach McCullum instigated that summer was embodied most memorably by Jonny Bairstow. In more than a century of Test cricket before that year (not counting the early years of the game, when that kind of data was not gathered) only three English players had scored more than 300 runs in a series at a strike rate above 85. In only four years since another 10 have joined their number, a list topped by Bairstow against the Kiwis in 2022, when he rampaged to 394 runs at a strike rate of 120.12. That figure has been bettered only once, and even then marginally, in cricket history, though the 330 runs at 121.32 banked by Pakistan’s Shahid Afridi against India in 2006 were largely down to his contributions to a pair of high-scoring draws on batting-friendly pitches.

Every new AI agent your team deploys starts from scratch: no memory of how the business works, where data lives, or what rules apply. And as agentic coding tools spin up applications faster than anyone can govern them, each one risks becoming another silo outside your data layer entirely. Microsoft is addressing both problems directly at Build 2026. According to VentureBeat's VB Pulse's Q1 2026 RAG Infrastructure Market Tracker , hybrid retrieval intent among 100-plus employee organizations tripled from 10.3% in January to 33.3% in March, a signal that enterprises have moved past expanding RAG coverage and are now focused on the architecture underneath it. Shared business context is the part retrieval does not solve. On the context side, Microsoft is expanding Fabric IQ, its existing business data context layer, into a broader unified system called Microsoft IQ, adding three additional context sources covering how the organization works, what it knows and real-time global signals from the web, so any agent can tap all four as a single foundation. On the application side, Rayfin, a new open-source SDK and CLI, deploys agent-built applications directly to Fabric as a governed production backend, routing application data into the same platform rather than spinning up new silos. Amir Netz, CTO of Microsoft Fabric, reached for a film analogy to explain where the data platform fits. The green screen of cascading code in "The Matrix" wasn't atmosphere, it was the layer that built the world Agent Smith operated in. "Our job in the world of data is creating reality for agents based on data," Netz told VentureBeat. Microsoft IQ unifies four context sources into a single agent foundation Microsoft IQ brings together four context sources that until now existed separately, designed so a developer can connect a new agent to all four in a single integration step.

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.

The specification lets developer, compliance and security teams define their own policies for agents to follow in portable policy files.

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. 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. 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.

美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥周二在国会听证会上为美国对伊朗的军事行动辩护。 鲁比奥表示，美军已摧毁伊朗大部分导弹和无人机能力，但他承认，由于制造门槛较低，伊朗仍拥有大量无人机。他还表示，伊朗已在霍尔木兹海峡大部分区域布设水雷。自美国国防部对伊朗发起“史诗狂怒行动”以来，伊朗实际上已关闭霍尔木兹海峡，导致全球能源价格飙升。 “史诗狂怒行动——有些人不喜欢，有些人喜欢——在实现其军事目标方面非常成功，大幅削弱了伊朗的国防工业基础，”鲁比奥周二上午在参议院外交关系委员会作证时表示。鲁比奥在加入特朗普政府前曾是该委员会成员。 美国国务卿鲁比奥 鲁比奥在谈及美伊谈判时表示，美国有望在未来几天与伊朗达成协议，内容涉及伊朗放弃寻求核武器以及如何处置德黑兰的高浓缩铀。 责任编辑：丁文武
