• The DeepSeek is a Chinese AI chatbot that has rapidly gained popularity, surpassing U.S.-based apps in the App Store. It is an affordable and fully free alternative to ChatGPT, providing users with unlimited access. Despite its success, there are rising concerns about data privacy and potential interventions by the U.S. government due to national security worries. The chat interface and capabilities of DeepSeek are similar to ChatGPT, making it a noteworthy competitor in the AI space.

• Apple's latest update for iOS 18.3 has enabled Apple Intelligence by default on supported devices. The update also disabled AI-generated news summaries after several instances where the feature produced inaccurate headlines. This change marks a significant step towards a comprehensive rollout of Apple's AI features and aims to provide a seamless user experience without the need for manual activation.

• Meta has enhanced its Meta AI chatbot with new personalization features. The update allows the AI to remember user-specific details shared in one-on-one conversations on platforms like WhatsApp and Messenger. This enables it to provide more tailored responses, such as food recommendations based on dietary preferences. Additionally, Meta AI can now use aggregated data from Facebook and Instagram to make more customized suggestions.

• Lucie, a French-language AI chatbot backed by the French government, was taken offline shortly after its launch due to a series of nonsensical responses. Users reported bewildering replies, such as describing "cow's eggs" and miscalculating simple math problems like 5 × (3+2). Meant to rival OpenAI’s ChatGPT and promote French innovation, Lucie’s unexpected performance hiccups have prompted its developers to conduct further private testing before any public re-release. Despite the setbacks, the initiative is part of President Emmanuel Macron's broader technological investment under the France 2030 program.
