- Apple Overhauls Genmoji in iOS 27
iOS 27 includes an entirely revamped Genmoji creation experience. There's an updated interface that supports describing an emoji that you want to create, with options to start from existing emoji, choose an image from Photos , or select a person. After uploading an image or using a text phrase to create a Genmoji, there's now a "Describe a change" interface for making updates to what you've already created. You can iterate on designs and change specific elements of a Genmoji, tweaking colors and objects. Apple's AI is smarter than before and it is able to successfully make iterative updates for better Genmoji customization. Each change uses the old base rather than regenerating a new Genmoji with every request. With a series of requests, it is possible to make a complicated, multi-element Genmoji. Along with describing changes, you can also add in additional emoji, and the interface makes suggestions on what to do next. Genmoji output is also more consistent, and Genmoji look more like real emoji with a 3D, cartoonish style by default. There is now an option to change style, so if you don't want the cartoonish look, you can ask for something else like a drawing or a sketch. Generating a Genmoji does not take as long, and it appears to be less system intensive with less battery drain. Apple also overhauled Image Playground in iOS 27, and both Image Playground and Genmoji use updated Apple Foundation Models. Image Playground now supports generating photorealistic images and adding AI elements to just parts of photos.

During one talk, Rob Wrubel, co-founder and managing partner at San Francisco ad firm Silverside, talked up his work on the Coca-Cola company’s AI-generated 2025 Holiday Caravan ad . “What’s incredible about AI,” Wrubel said, “is that you can go from script to production is just two weeks!” What Wrubel failed to mention was that the ad – with its computerized polar bears and fake-looking trundling delivery trucks – was widely despised by pretty much anyone who saw it. Indeed, the public distaste for the campaign became its own news story, spawning headlines like “People really don’t like Coke’s AI holiday commercial” and “Coca-Cola’s New AI Holiday Ad is a Sloppy Eyesore” . It may indeed have been quickly conceived – and it looked like it. Reached for comment about the backlash, Wrubel admits: “The conversation around the ad became almost as important as the ad itself because it surfaced questions the entire creative industry is wrestling with right now.” Continue reading...

- AI is masking America's "post-literate" workforce
Millions of working Americans struggle to read at a functional level — and artificial intelligence may be helping hide it. Why it matters: Low literacy is quietly becoming a major economic drag, even as AI tools allow workers to complete tasks they may not fully understand. Experts warn that this can mask deeper skill gaps until workers are asked to make judgments, solve problems or evaluate AI-generated answers. Some researchers call this "cognitive surrender" — when people defer to AI outputs without fully evaluating them. That creates a workforce that looks productive on the surface but is vulnerable to disruption. By the numbers: Roughly 130 million U.S. adults read below a sixth-grade level, according to adult literacy estimates . About 43 million U.S. adults cannot read, write or do basic math above a third-grade level, according to ProLiteracy . More than 90% of jobs require some form of computer literacy, Sharon Bonney, CEO of the Coalition on Adult Basic Education, told Axios. Zoom in: Low literacy at work is showing up in emails, safety instructions, training materials, math-heavy trades, health benefits forms and computer-based tasks. Bonney said adult education programs often see learners who want better jobs but lack the basic reading, math, English-language or digital skills needed to enter apprenticeships, community college or higher-paying work. "If you can't read, write, speak the language, can't use a computer, your chances of being gainfully employed are pretty slim," Bonney said. What they're saying: "The net effect of AI on the workplace is probably going to be increased demand and need for workers with higher levels of basic skills, not lower," Stephen Reder, professor emeritus of applied linguistics at Portland State University, tells Axios. "If it's flashing a red warning light that says we have a literacy challenge, then we probably really do have a literacy challenge," Amanda Bergson-Shilcock, senior fellow at the National Skills Coalition, told Axios. Yes, but: Americans have not stopped buying books. Independent bookstores have grown in recent years, and Barnes & Noble has staged a comeback, suggesting reading culture remains strong for some. However, Reder said book buying and literacy skills are not the same thing. The bigger divide may be between people who use reading deeply in everyday life and those who rarely practice those skills. "Not only are skill levels going down," Reder said, "but particularly among people at the lower end of the skill spectrum, the amount that they use the skills that they have is going way down." Behind the scenes: Workers have long found ways to hide literacy gaps, like asking family for help, avoiding written tasks or relying on coworkers, Bergson-Shilcock said. Now, AI may be accelerating that — creating what she calls an "invisible drag on productivity" that doesn't show up in data but slows teams down. In some cases, Bergson-Shilcock said low literacy among supervisors can ripple across entire workplaces, affecting performance and compliance. The bottom line: AI may help workers keep up, but it also raises the risk that they're producing answers they don't fully understand. Reder compared AI to calculators, which made math easier, but they did not eliminate the need to understand what problem you were solving. "You still need to know what you're doing," he said.

The need for a central data repository for enterprise analytics and gen AI has made the data lakehouse the default choice for enterprise data. Meanwhile, the emergence of open table standards makes the shift easier and reduces vendor lock-in for enterprises while also allowing for better integration between lakehouses and other enterprise systems and service providers. Data lakehouses combine the structure of data warehouses with the flexibility of data lakes, making them versatile tools to make the most of any data the enterprise collects, whether it’s for business analytics, integration with other systems, or providing relevant context to LLMs. The idea behind the data lakehouse is to merge together the best of what data lakes and data warehouses have to offer, says Gartner analyst Adam Ronthal. Data warehouses also enable companies to store large amounts of structured data with well-defined schemas, as they’re designed to support a large number of simultaneous queries and deliver results quickly to many simultaneous users. Data lakes, on the other hand, enable companies to collect raw, unstructured data in many formats for data analysts to hunt through. These vast pools of data have recently grown in prominence thanks to the flexibility they provide enterprises to store massive data streams without first having to define the purpose of doing so. According to Gartner , data lakehouses are the next step in the evolution of data architectures, merging these two capabilities into a single platform to overcome limitations of previous architectures, reducing complexity, streamlining data management , and supporting diverse workloads. In late 2025, Gartner also released the first market guide for data lakehouse platforms. “The lakehouse is now firmly established as the architecture that most organizations will seek to standardize on,” wrote Ronthal and his co-authors in the report. Meanwhile, data lakehouses themselves are also standardizing on the Apache Iceberg data table format, first created by Netflix in 2017, and donated to the Apache Software Foundation the following year. It hit the tipping point in 2024 with adoption by companies like Apple, LinkedIn, Adobe, and all the major cloud vendors. Even Databricks, which created the competing Delta Lake standard, now supports Iceberg natively. Lakehouse vendors are opening their architecture more to allow better access to the data by third parties, says Gerry Szatvanyi, chief AI officer at consulting firm OSF Digital. “That wasn’t the case a few years ago,” he says. And other enterprise service providers have been taking advantage of this, he says. For example, Salesforce Data Cloud can connect directly to Iceberg-formatted data. “Salesforce has a Zero Copy access format, so it can connect its own data platform to another data lake without copying data into Salesforce,” says Szatvanyi. And of course, as with everything else in the enterprise today, gen AI is having a big effect. Data lakehouses are particularly good for LLMs because they can provide critical business context for RAG embeddings and MCP access, the two most common ways to feed data into LLMs. “Lakehouses are being accessed more by AI agents,” Szatvanyi says. “It’s the main thing I see happening.” Even traditional business analytics is now increasingly handled via AI interfaces, he adds, democratizing user access to enterprise data. In a recent IDC report , the leading vendors in the data platform space are Databricks, Google, Oracle, and Snowflake, with other major players including Microsoft, IBM, and Cloudera. IDC also listed Amazon SageMaker as a lakehouse platform to watch, but it only became widely available in early 2025, so wasn’t yet included among the top vendors. Gartner includes Databricks, Google, Oracle, Snowflake, Microsoft, IBM, Cloudera and Amazon SageMaker on its list of representative vendors for data lakehouse platforms, among other firms. The business benefits of data lakehouses Docusign opted to go with Snowflake for the data platform used to train an internal agent for sales, and is training its ML models in order to serve customers more accurately. Information is pulled from Salesforce, and they’re also exploring Atlassian and ServiceNow, as well as other internal custom tools. The information also goes out to LLMs using RAG embedding pipelines, and MCP connectivity is also being explored as the technology matures. Other companies use data lakehouses for the flexibility of the data sources it supports and the volume of data they can handle. Sega Europe, for example, began using the Amazon Redshift data warehouse to collect event data from its Football Manager video game back in 2016. At first this event, data consisted simply of players opening and closing games. “But there was so much more data we could collect,” says Felix Baker, the company’s head of data services. “Like what teams people were managing, or how much money they were spending.” Because of the data structures needed for inclusion in the data warehouse, data was coming in batches and it took too much time to analyze. “We wanted to analyze the data in real-time,” Baker adds, but this functionality wasn’t available in Redshift at the time. “Databricks offered an out-of-the-box managed services solution that did what we needed without us having to develop anything,” he adds. In addition, the data lakehouse architecture enabled Sega Europe to ingest unstructured data, such as social media feeds. The cost efficiencies enabled by providing a source for all of an organization’s structured and unstructured data is a value driver for data lakehouses, says Steven Karan, AI transformation lead at Capgemini, and it’s helped implement data lakehouses at leading organizations in financial services, telecom, and retail. Moreover, data lakehouses store data in a way that it’s readily available for use by a wide array of technologies, from traditional business intelligence and reporting systems to ML and AI. “Other benefits include reduced data redundancy, simplified IT operations, a simplified data schema to manage, and easier to enable data governance,” Karan says. Helping data emerge One particularly valuable use case for data lakehouses is in helping companies get value from data previously trapped in legacy or siloed systems . For example, one Capgemini enterprise customer, which had grown through acquisitions over a decade, couldn’t access data related to resellers of their products. “By migrating the siloed data from legacy data warehouses into a centralized data lakehouse, the client could understand at an enterprise level which of their reseller partners were most effective, and how changes such as referral programs and structures drove revenue,” he says. One company capitalizing on the benefits of data lakehouses is life sciences, analytics, and services company IQVIA, which began using data lakehouses several years ago. Before the pandemic, pharmaceutical companies running drug trials used to send employees to hospitals and other sites to collect data about things such as adverse effects, says Wendy Morahan, senior director of product management for clinical data analytics at IQVIA. “That’s how they make sure the patient is safe.” Once the pandemic hit and sites were locked down, however, pharmaceutical companies had to scramble to figure out how to get the data they needed — and to get it in a way that was compliant with regulations, and fast enough to enable them to quickly spot potential problems. Snowflake and Databricks gave the company the ability to store the raw data in any format, including images and audio, all in a single platform. Lakehouse adoption growth In a February report from Research and Markets, the data lakehouse market has been growing exponentially. In 2025, it totaled $10.3 billion and is predicted to hit $12.6 billion by the end of this year, a compound growth rate of 22%. By 2030, this will be up to $27.3 billion, the research firm projects. And according to a recent survey from Dremio, a lakehouse vendor, 63% of companies run most analytics on a lakehouse rather than a traditional warehouse, up from 55% in 2024. Data lakehouses are also increasingly being used for IT and security workloads, says Ed Bailey, field CISO at telemetry vendor Cribl. “Previously, lakehouse providers were the realm of business data with a focus on structured data and SQL.” Lakehouses can handle IT and security data at a lower cost, and this is a critical issue given the volumes of data in this space. “Even mid-sized companies produce much more IT and security data than business data,” he says. “Lakehouse vendors are finally starting to push into the market.” But it’s still early, and initial solutions are immature and an awkward fit for this kind of data. “IT and security data are very different from business data,” he adds. For example, business data tends to be more predictable and well-structured. Plus, business users are more familiar with using data analytics tools than IT and security users. “This mismatch has been a serious obstacle to adoption,” he says. Data lakehouses are also evolving in another way. Gartner says the lakehouse isn’t the ultimate solution but a transitional architecture on the way to more advanced systems, such as data fabric. The difference between the two is data lakehouses contain data from disparate systems, while data fabrics simply contain pointers to where the data is natively located. An advantage of data fabrics is that the original security access controls and metadata are preserved and used, there’s no duplication of data, and no need to reconcile disparate standards. “But it comes with some performance issues, and access isn’t that seamless,” says OSF Digital’s Szatvanyi. A data fabric might be a good place for smaller companies to start, he says, or you can use both. “You can have a big chunk of data in a lakehouse and have a fabric for two or three secondary systems,” he says. “But I’d say the data lakehouse is the gold standard.”

While we’ve seen a lot of hype about AI in cyber security, Anthropic’s Claude Mythos has suddenly and significantly changed the rules of offensive security. The arrival of Anthropic’s Claude Mythos on 7 April 2026 created a paradigm shift in the economics of a cyber attack. AI has rapidly changed the cyber security landscape – and faster than most risk models assume. The window between discovery and weaponisation has collapsed, with time to exploitation dropping from 2.3 years in 2018 to 20 hours today. AI is making vulnerability discovery, exploit generation, and attack orchestration faster and cheaper. Tools like Mythos show that AI can identify critical zero-days , generate working exploits, and orchestrate attacks at a speed and scale that traditional security processes were never designed and built to cope with. However, some things have been exaggerated and not everything has changed overnight. The fundamentals remain essential. Mythos is a structural acceleration, not a magic new category of risk. The basics such as identity, segmentation, MFA, patch discipline, zero-trust, secrets rotation, and egress filtering have become even more important, not less. AI has lowered the cost and skill barrier for finding and exploiting vulnerabilities faster than organisations can patch them. While defenders must manage every exposure across code, infrastructure, identity, suppliers, and agents around the clock, the attacker only needs to find one route into the organisation. So, today at least, attackers have the advantage. It’s now time for defenders to turn the same tools inward to find and fortify any weaknesses first. So, how can CISOs adapt quickly enough? The first point of call is code review and vulnerability discovery . Organisations should immediately point AI agents at their most critical codebases, then move toward large language model (LLM)-driven review inside continuous integration and development (CI/CD) pipelines. Every piece of code, whether written by humans or generated by AI should go through automated security review before it is merged. Many organisations still treat AI as a productivity tool rather than a change in the threat model. The mistake that many are making is assuming old patch windows, old incident timelines, and old risk assumptions still hold. Organisations are also underestimating AI agents as a new attack surface. Prompts, tools, retrieval pipelines, escalation logic, and agent permissions all need controls before agents should be permitted to enter production. Read more about Claude Mythos Anthropic's Claude Mythos has generated buzz and alarm among CIOs and CISOs, who fear the model could expose vulnerabilities and drive unprecedented levels of hacking . As AI tools such as Claude Mythos Preview can speed vulnerability discovery for attackers, CIOs are automating detection and response to keep pace . Claude Mythos has the potential to enhance global cyber security or undermine it by becoming a weapon in the hands of threat actors . The biggest change CIOs and CISOs need to make in how they approach cyber security is to update their operating model from human-speed security to AI-speed resilience . This will involve mandating responsible AI adoption across security functions, embedding AI review into software delivery, defending agents as first-class assets, rehearsing simultaneous high-severity incidents, updating board reporting and risk models, and hardening the fundamentals without delay. AI is increasing the speed and volume of software development, so security must move earlier and faster. Security review can no longer be a manual gate at the end of development. It needs to be embedded into the pipeline, with AI agents reviewing code continuously and all code – whether human- or AI-generated – assessed before merge. At the present time, AI is making it both easier and more difficult to find and fix vulnerabilities. But the fact is that the risk is growing faster than most organisations’ ability to respond. AI makes it easier for defenders to discover their own weaknesses, but it also makes it easier for adversaries to find and weaponise them. AI must be used defensively now, preparing for a flood of patches, and building response capabilities that can operate at scale. Being Mythos-ready means limiting blast radius, discovering vulnerabilities before adversaries do, building scalable responses, and empowering teams with AI agents now. John Bruce is CISO at Quorum Cyber , an Edinburgh-based managed security services provider (MSSP).
