Apple’s big developer event, WWDC, is coming up — but don’t expect a huge AI reveal just yet. (Worldwide Developers Conference)

Apple’s big developer event, WWDC, is coming up — but don’t expect a huge AI reveal just yet.

According to early reports, this year is being treated as a “gap year” while Apple prepares bigger AI launches for 2026.

Here’s what’s happening:

• Apple will open up its new AI models to developers, but they’re still behind what rivals like Google and OpenAI offer.
• Some existing features will be rebranded as “AI-powered” to shift perception.
• Major updates, like a smarter Siri or a ChatGPT-style assistant, are still delayed.
• A much larger model (on par with GPT-level AI) is being developed, but concerns about accuracy are holding back its release.

Why it matters:​
While Apple plays it safe, other companies are moving fast. This slow rollout might leave Apple users underwhelmed — at least for now. 2026 could be the real turning point.

Record labels, AI music startups in talks to settle lawsuits with licensing deals

​Universal, Warner, and Sony are negotiating with AI music leaders Udio and Suno to resolve billion-dollar copyright lawsuits and create a framework for artist compensation.

Key points:

• Labels want licensing fees and equity in exchange for using artists’ work in AI training.
• Lawsuits from 2024 allege massive copyright infringement, seeking up to $150K per track.
• Parallel negotiations create a race to strike the first deal and end litigation.

Why it matters: Much like past battles with Napster and streaming, the industry seems ready to monetize AI rather than resist it — turning legal fights into business opportunities.

AI Outperforms Humans on Emotional Intelligence Test

In a new study by the University of Geneva and University of Bern, AI models like GPT-4 and Claude 3.5 outscored humans on emotional intelligence tests, suggesting machines may now better understand and respond to emotions than people.

Key points:

• Six top AI models scored an average of 81% vs. 56% for humans on EI assessments.
• GPT-4 even generated valid new emotional intelligence tests on its own.
• Researchers say this reflects true emotional reasoning, not just pattern mimicry.

Why it matters: Even if AI doesn’t feel, its ability to recognize and respond to emotions could transform industries like mental health, education, and customer support.
