Google detailed how homomorphic encryption makes private AI practical, letting models compute on data they never actually see. Alongside it, Google's AMIE system ran a real-time clinical video consultation in a first-of-its-kind study, and DeepMind pushed sign language AI closer to everyday use — three separate labs chipping at the same problem: making AI useful without making it invasive. On the road, autonomy keeps scaling. Waymo got permission to run rides in Sacramento and San Diego, self-driving trucks are now testing on California highways, and Uber and Pony.ai are planning 2,000 robotaxis for Europe. The freight and passenger cases are converging fast — this is turning into infrastructure, not demos. Security had its usual mixed bag: a vulnerability giving attackers full control of Macs is being actively exploited, and a person reportedly hid a prompt injection inside a legal filing instructing AI tools to rule in their favor. Firefox is now the last major browser still supporting uBlock Origin, and Google quietly started letting users strip the visible watermark off its AI-generated images — a small policy change with outsized consequences for provenance.
