These Privacy Apps Are Using Smart Glasses' Own Wireless Signal to Track Them - CNET
Amid broad privacy concerns, new apps such as Zuckoff help detect smart glasses in the wild.
Zuckoff, whose name takes a direct jab at Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, has joined a small ecosystem of apps such as Antizuck Smart Glasses Scanner and Nearby Glasses that offer similar functionality — letting you know when someone has smart glasses activated and how close the device is, although they can’t tell you specifically whether someone is actively recording or using AI to pull up information. The apps detect approximate device proximity by sweeping local Bluetooth frequencies to locate vendor IDs, system identifiers and hardware signatures associated with smart glasses.

New College Board Research: AP Teachers Push for Guardrails and Support as GenAI Reshapes the Classroom
Two years of survey and focus group data from thousands of AP teachers directly shaped redesigns of AP Computer Science Principles and AP Seminar, launching in the 2027-28 school year. New research from College Board finds that Advanced Placement® (AP®) teachers are navigating a fast-moving shift in how Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is appearing in their classrooms, and their feedback is now shaping how two AP courses are being redesigned for an increasingly GenAI-driven world.
The redesigned course will embed GenAI concepts across core units, including GenAI and human decision making, machine learning, algorithm development, data ethics, and the societal impacts of GenAI. The course will also introduce a new culminating performance task, the AI Create Project, in which students apply what they've learned to build their own AI application.

The two labels filed a new, 45-page lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in the District of Massachusetts against the AI music-generation company.
Suno’s admission that its new “v6” family of models trained upon the outputs of its previous models meant that, despite the company’s claims that its new models do not infringe on copyrighted works, “training a ‘new’ model on the outputs of an infringing model does not eliminate the infringement; it launders it.”
