US President Donald Trump’s trade war will “significantly slow global growth” and increase the chance of a recession in the country, the International Monetary Fund warned Tuesday,
The fund cut almost a percentage point off its growth forecast for the US this year, alongside downgrading outlooks for every G7 nation, as well as economies such as China, India, Brazil, and South Africa. US tariffs will also lead to higher inflation in the US, the IMF predicted, with consumer prices likely to grow 3% this year, higher than expected and above the Fed’s 2% target.

Apple’s artificial intelligence rollout has been anything but smooth, so much so that the BBB National Programs’ National Advertising Division spurred the company to rethink its claims to customers.
Apple’s had a rough time trying to get its artificial intelligence, which it calls Apple Intelligence, into the hands of its customers. Between backlash over incorrect notification summaries and multiple delays, it seems like Apple can’t catch a break.
On Tuesday, the National Advertising Division (NAD) released a statement chiding Apple for dishonest advertising. The division had launched an inquiry into the matter after receiving claims that the company had been promoting features that did not yet exist.

It seems one profession that really loves generative AI is that of the cybercriminal. Microsoft warns that the technology has evolved to the point where creating an online scam can now take minutes rather than days or weeks and requires little technical knowledge.
In its latest edition of the Cyber Signals report, Microsoft writes that AI has started to lower the technical bar for fraud and cybercrime actors looking for their own productivity tools.
The range of cyber scams AI can be used for is extensive. The tools can, for example, help create social engineering lures by scanning and scraping the web to build detailed profiles of employees or other targets.

Investment firm Morgan Stanley’s latest US buyer survey shows record numbers intend to upgrade their iPhone — and that they want Apple Intelligence, especially if they can also get a thin or foldable model.
Morgan Stanley has been rapidly dropping its price target for Apple, starting 2025 at $275, then dropping to $252 in March because of fears of lower than expected iPhone upgrades. Then the company expected Apple to drop to between $200 and $210 because of tariffs, which were then so much worse than anticipated, that it predicted a drop to as little as $172.
