Google recently introduced a new strategy that allows the Gemini AI assistant to access third-party applications such as WhatsApp, raising privacy concerns. Even if users disable interaction permissions, Gemini can still access some application data, which will be reviewed by humans and retained for 72 hours.

In education, we're taught to "show your work." Now, advanced AI models claim to do just that. However, new research reveals that these models sometimes obfuscate their true reasoning processes, fabricating elaborate explanations instead. A recent study from Anthropic's research team, investigating simulated reasoning (SR) models including their own Claude models and DeepSeek's R1, found these models often misrepresent their 'thinking' when
