WWDC 2025: Apple could let developers use its AI models to build new features, says report
Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference is all set to take off from 9 June, marking the Cupertino-based tech giant's second-biggest event of the year where it demonstrates all its software prowess. Over the last year, Apple has received a lot of flak for its patchy rollout of new software updates, along with delays in AI features, some of which still haven't arrived. However, the company will likely try to shift attention from those concerns as it focuses on a major rebrand with the unveiling of iOS 26 at WWDC 2025, a significant departure from the current naming scheme used by Cupertino. Gurman says the new AI features to be unveiled by Apple at WWDC 2025 will be minor and are unlikely to impress industry watchers, especially at a time when the pace of AI progress is accelerating, with companies like Google, Meta, Microsoft and OpenAI announcing new products almost every month. Among the AI features Apple is reportedly planning this year is a systemwide push into translation. The Translate functionality will be integrated across Apple operating systems as part of Apple Intelligence, with its main use case being live translation of phone calls and text messages. Gurman adds that the biggest AI-related announcement by Apple will be opening up its large language models (LLMs), the building blocks behind Apple Intelligence, to outside app developers. This will allow them to build their own AI features using the same technology that powers tools like Genmoji and Apple's writing aids. Apple is also expected to announce an upgraded version of its foundation models for both on-device and cloud use at WWDC 2025. Notably, developers will be given access to the on-device version of these LLMs. In terms of other AI announcements, there is unlikely to be any update on Apple's long awaited Siri revamp. Moreover, the Apple's partnership with Google to use Gemini in its apps is also unlikely to be announced at this year's WWDC.

South Korean court orders Mitsubishi to compensate 107-year-old
Seoul: South Korean appeals court has ruled in favour of a 107-year-old South Korean victim of Japan's wartime forced labour in a damages suit filed against Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd., sources said on Saturday. The civil appeals division of the Seoul Central District Court overturned a lower court's ruling handed down in 2022 that rejected Kim Han-soo's suit seeking compensation from the Japanese company on the grounds that the case's statute of limitations had expired. In May, the appeals court ordered Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to pay 100 million won ($73,400) in compensation to Kim in a ruling that came about 80 years after he was conscripted into Japan's wartime forced labour. Despite the court's ruling, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is not likely to pay the compensation. Kim said he was forced to work in a shipyard run by the Japanese firm in 1944 during Japan's 1910-45 colonial rule of the Korean Peninsula. In previous damages suits related to forced labor, courts largely ruled that the statute of limitations expired in May 2015, three years after the Supreme Court acknowledged the legal right to claim damages by Korean victims of Japan's forced labour for the first time, Yonhap news agency reported. South Korean civil law stipulates that the legal right to claim damages expires three years after the victim discovers the harm and identifies the offender. But the appeals court ruled in favour of Kim, judging that the statute of limitations related to forced labour-related damages suits should be calculated based on a separate 2018 ruling by the Supreme Court, effectively pushing back the expiration of the statute of limitation. Kim's damages suit against Mitsubishi was filed in 2019. In 2018, the Supreme Court ordered Japanese firms to compensate Korean victims of Tokyo's forced labour in a landmark ruling. But Japan has claimed all such reparation issues were settled under a 1965 treaty to normalise bilateral relations.

You can now schedule tasks with Gemini as Google's powerful new AI feature rivals ChatGPT's capabilities
Google is steadily evolving Gemini into a smarter, more proactive AI assistant that now competes directly with OpenAI's ChatGPT. The tech giant has started rolling out a feature called Scheduled Actions, which lets users automate recurring or timed tasks without repeating commands. Originally previewed during Google I/O, Scheduled Actions is now arriving on both Android and iOS devices. The feature is currently available to subscribers of Google One AI Premium and select Google Workspace business and education plans. With this rollout, Google is pushing Gemini closer to becoming a fully integrated productivity companion. Scheduled Actions let users instruct Gemini to perform specific tasks at set times or intervals. This includes sending daily calendar summaries, weekly content prompts, or even one time reminders. Once scheduled, Gemini handles them automatically in the background with no follow up required. For example, a user might say, 'Send me a summary of today's meetings every morning at 8 AM' or 'Generate weekly blog ideas every Friday at 10 AM.' These tasks run quietly behind the scenes, transforming Gemini from a reactive chatbot into a daily-use productivity tool. The setup process is built to be intuitive, making automation easy for both everyday users and professionals. Within the Gemini app, users can define a task, set the time, and choose the frequency through a clean and accessible interface. Scheduled Actions puts Google in direct competition with the kind of automation ChatGPT users create through Zapier or custom workflows. What gives Gemini a clear edge is its deep integration with Google's suite of apps. Functioning across Gmail, Calendar, Docs, and Tasks, Gemini offers a smooth setup and efficient task execution experience. Since it is built into tools people already use, Gemini can interact directly with information across Google's ecosystem. There is no need for third party services or custom scripts. For users already invested in Google's platform, the experience is more seamless than ChatGPT's dependence on external integrations. Scheduled Actions signals a shift in expectations for how AI assistants should function. Instead of waiting for commands, Gemini can now anticipate and handle repetitive tasks, offering a more personal and assistant like experience. While this may be just the beginning, it is a clear step toward positioning Gemini as a truly productivity first AI assistant. And as Gemini continues to evolve, it may not just catch up to ChatGPT but define the next generation of digital assistance.
