In a wide-ranging interview with MIT Technology Review, Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman argues that concerns about AI hitting a performance ceiling are based on a fundamental misreading of how AI progress works.

Apple at 50: The iPhone Company That Doesn't Want to Be Defined by the iPhone Anymore

As Apple marks its 50th anniversary, WIRED interviewed executives about the company's AI strategy — and found a deliberate positioning: Apple intelligence as invisible infrastructure, not product showcase.
