Scarlett Johansson Leads "Stealing Isn't Innovation" Campaign

A groundswell of creative resistance has hit the AI industry this weekend. Scarlett Johansson, Cate Blanchett, and over 800 prominent artists have launched the "Stealing Isn't Innovation" campaign. The group is urging the U.S. government to uphold copyright laws, arguing that training AI on their likenesses and works without permission is "theft, plain and simple." With nearly 60 active lawsuits against AI firms as of this morning, this marks the most unified legal front the creative industry has ever seen.

Apple’s Two-Step Siri Evolution: From Voice Assistant to "Campos" Chatbot

Newly leaked details from Bloomberg confirm that Apple’s "Project Campos" isn't just a minor update—it’s a total reboot. The evolution will happen in two stages:

• Spring 2026 (iOS 26.4): A "contextual Siri" that can analyze what is on your screen.

• Fall 2026 (iOS 27): The debut of Campos, a full-fledged AI chatbot. Reports suggest Apple may even partner with Google to host Campos on Gemini-powered servers temporarily while its own "Private Cloud Compute" infrastructure finishes scaling.

AI "Cardiology" Predicts Heart Failure Years in Advance

A landmark study from Imperial College London and Mount Sinai has validated a new AI tool that can predict heart failure and high blood pressure simply by "looking" at a photograph of a standard ECG. The AI identifies subtle electrical patterns that are invisible to the human eye, allowing doctors to risk-stratify patients up to three years before symptoms appear. This "predictive triage" could fundamentally change how preventative cardiology is practiced globally. Read more: High blood pressure and complications predicted from ECGs using AI

Daily Tip: The "Creative Ethics" Check

With the Hollywood protests in full swing, you can be a more "responsible" AI user by checking if your favorite tools allow you to opt out of training or if they respect creator tags.

The Prompt:

"I want to use AI to generate a mood board for a new project. Before we start, tell me: which image generation models currently have the best reputation for respecting 'NoAI' tags from artists, and how can I ensure I am not accidentally mimicking the specific style of a living artist who has asked to be excluded from your training data?"
