Elon Musk, described as the world’s richest person, has lost a lawsuit against OpenAI, the globally recognized artificial intelligence company.

According to a Reuters report, a US jury ruled on Monday that Musk’s case against OpenAI was not valid and that the company could not be held responsible for allegedly moving away from its original mission of benefiting humanity.

The jury unanimously found that Musk had filed the lawsuit too late.

The trial began on April 28 and continued for 11 days. The case was considered significant for the future of artificial intelligence because it raised questions about how AI should be used and who should benefit from it.

During the proceedings, the credibility of both Musk and OpenAI chief Sam Altman was repeatedly questioned.

Musk had alleged that OpenAI ignored its nonprofit mission in order to benefit investors and failed to prioritize AI safety. He also claimed that Microsoft knew OpenAI’s objective was financial gain.

OpenAI rejected the allegations, arguing that Musk himself was pursuing financial interests and had brought his claim too late. OpenAI’s lawyer, William Savitt, said Musk had achieved success in some fields, but not in artificial intelligence.

OpenAI is currently competing with other companies, including Anthropic and Musk’s own company, xAI. The company is also potentially preparing for an initial public offering that could value it at $1 trillion.

Microsoft has invested more than $100 billion in partnership with OpenAI.

Musk’s company xAI is now part of SpaceX, and it is being suggested that it could bring an even larger IPO than OpenAI in the future.

The lawsuit was seen as a milestone for the future of artificial intelligence because it involved debate over how AI should be used and who should have the right to its financial benefits.

A new report reveals that Apple is preparing to bring significant changes to the iPhone operating system, iOS, in its upcoming update.

According to Bloomberg and other reports, the update will include new artificial intelligence (AI) tools and options to customize the camera, giving users enhanced functionality and control.

These changes come one year after the introduction of Liquid Glass in iOS 26, as Apple continues to innovate in both software and user experience.

The company is reportedly focusing on AI enhancements, performance improvements, and other upgrades for iOS 27.

Apple is expected to officially unveil the new software at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June.

This update marks another step in Apple’s ongoing efforts to integrate AI into iOS and provide users with more personalized and advanced device capabilities.

Google is reportedly testing a reduction in the free cloud storage offered to users, particularly for those creating a new Gmail or Google account.

According to a report by Android Authority, new Gmail accounts currently receive 15 GB of free cloud storage, which is considered ample for most users. However, Google appears to be trialing a reduction to just 5 GB of free storage for new accounts.

The report notes that users who link their phone number to their account will still receive the full 15 GB of storage. A screenshot confirming this trial has also surfaced.

Google’s support page still states that every account comes with 15 GB of free storage, but the company has confirmed that this new storage policy is being tested.

In a statement, Google said, “We are testing a new storage policy for new accounts.” The company added that the trial is currently limited to specific regions and is intended to enhance account security and assist with data recovery.

Elon Musk has once again addressed viral rumours linking him to Amber Heard and Cara Delevingne.

The claims, which resurfaced during a high-profile legal battle, have continued to circulate online despite repeated denials.

The controversy dates back to the 2020 legal battle between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.

During court proceedings, references to events from 2016 brought Musk’s name into the spotlight, along with mentions of Cara Delevingne.

Witness statements and past accounts discussed in court led to widespread speculation.

Over time, these details evolved into viral rumours suggesting a night involving all three individuals in Los Angeles—claims that were never proven in court.

Musk rejects allegations

Elon Musk has consistently denied the allegations.

He stated that the claims are not accurate and described the rumours as “exaggerated,” urging the public to move on from the topic.

Musk clarified that Cara Delevingne is only a friend and dismissed any suggestion of deeper involvement.

Regarding Amber Heard, he said his relationship with her began after her divorce filing and not during her marriage.

A spokesperson for Musk also backed his version of events.

They confirmed that his relationship with Heard started later in 2016 and was not serious initially.

The federal government has decided to conduct the country’s first information technology census.

Sources divulged on Tuesday that the census will be carried out through joint cooperation between the Ministry of IT and the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS), with comprehensive data to be gathered on the digital skills of young people.

According to officials in the Ministry of IT, a nationwide record of the IT workforce will be compiled. The census will also collect data on freelancers, video editors and call centre employees, while the skills of call centre staff will be categorised.

The IT census will make reliable national data available for the first time. It will assist the government in policy-making and planning, and is expected to improve overseas employment opportunities for IT professionals.

In a major shift for cross-platform messaging, Apple Inc. has announced end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for RCS chats between iPhone and Android users.

The feature arrives with iOS 26.5, aiming to close a long-standing security gap.

However, the rollout will depend on carrier support and remains in beta for now.

Apple has confirmed that iOS 26.5 introduces end-to-end encryption for RCS messages exchanged between iPhone and Android devices.

This means messages will be secured in a way that prevents third parties from intercepting or reading them—bringing cross-platform chats closer to the privacy standards of iMessage.

The feature is enabled by default, with users able to manage it through the Messages section in Settings. Encrypted chats will be marked with a small lock icon.

Still in Beta

Despite being included in the release, Apple says encrypted RCS messaging is still in beta.

Its availability depends on whether both the sender and receiver are using carriers that support the latest RCS standards. As a result, the feature will roll out gradually rather than becoming instantly available worldwide.

Apple had previously tested E2EE for RCS in iOS 26.4, but the feature did not make it to the final release.

It later returned in the iOS 26.5 beta and remained available throughout the testing phase, leading to its official inclusion in the latest update.

Aligning iPhone-Android chats with iMessage

Until now, RCS messages between Android and iPhone users lacked encryption, unlike iMessage conversations.

With iOS 26.5—and corresponding updates like iPadOS 26.5, macOS Tahoe 26.5, and watchOS 26.5—Apple is bringing parity to cross-platform messaging security.

Apple worked alongside the GSM Association to implement this feature.

E2EE is part of the RCS Universal Profile 3.0, which is built on the Messaging Layer Security protocol.

The updated standard also introduces additional features, including:

Editing and deleting messages
Cross-platform Tapback support
Inline replies to specific messages
