The new Siri draws on personal context across messages, emails, and photos, offers onscreen awareness, systemwide app actions, and broad world knowledge. Support for Chinese (traditional), Norwegian, Turkish, and Vietnamese is coming by year-end. Siri AI remains unavailable in the EU on iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS.

OpenAI's Economic Research team has released OpenAI Signals data tracking how ChatGPT is used for work across 165 Intermediate Work Activity categories in nearly 100 countries, covering Q1 2025 through Q3 2026. The dataset lets researchers compare ChatGPT usage with occupational data, track changes over time, and link findings to broader economic indicators. Key findings show work-related use is becoming less concentrated, with the ten most common activities dropping from 56% to 51.1% of classified work messages between Q1 2025 and Q3 2026.

The series has surpassed 400,000 completed quests across 10 languages. Google is also releasing teacher training modules within the Google AI Educator Series to support classroom integration.

The r/opensource subreddit has banned all AI-related projects, announcing that any project using AI, made by AI, or intended for AI is no longer welcome. New enforcement rules require projects to be at least one year old and actively maintained, have 3 or more contributors, hold an OSI license, and have an existing community. Accounts must also be one year old with significant Reddit history. The policy drew backlash, with critics noting it would effectively ban projects like the Linux kernel, whose maintainer Linus Torvalds has used AI assistance.
