At WWDC 2023 on Monday, Apple unveiled Vision Pro, its long-awaited augmented reality headset.

Unlike the Meta Quest and Meta Quest Pro, the Vision Pro is controlled by eye movements and hand gestures without the...

As more organizations move toward the adoption of generative AI, Google wants us all to be more concerned about security. To that end, on Thursday the tech giant released its Secure AI Framework (SAIF), meant to be a sort of security roadmap, if a somewhat thinly sketched one for the time being.  But if you’re imagining this is a scheme...
