Welcome to Tech News Briefing.

Apple is preparing to unveil a new series, but will it be enough to catch up in the race for AI dominance?

We're breaking down the company's latest strategy ahead of its worldwide developers conference next week,

We'll dive into why the breakthrough has some experts rethinking what AI is capable of.
