Apple's AI hardware line to include smart glasses, pendant, more: Report

According to a Bloomberg report cited in the article:

Smart Glasses

Apple is developing AI-enabled smart glasses. This is part of its push into new wearable hardware.

These glasses will feature high-resolution cameras for photos and videos. They will also have sensors to help Siri understand the wearer’s surroundings.

Key Points :

  • Unlike the Vision Pro headset, the glasses won’t have built-in displays. Users will interact with Siri through microphones and speakers. They can ask questions or get real-time, context-aware help.

  • The project’s internal code name is likely N50. Production may start as early as December, with a possible launch in 2027.

  • AI Pendant (Wearable Camera Accessory)

  • Apple is also designing a small pendant. It can clip to clothes or be worn as a necklace.

  • This pendant will have a low-resolution camera and microphone. It will feed visual context to Siri, extending the iPhone’s sensing abilities.

  • The pendant won’t have a screen or projector; it’s mainly for capturing the environment for AI tasks.

  • Camera-Equipped AirPods

  • The report mentions that Apple is working on AirPods with built-in cameras. These will primarily help Siri gain visual awareness, not replace traditional photography.

  • They will allow Siri to “see” what’s happening around you, like gestures and objects. This will enable contextual assistance.

  • How They Fit Together

  • All three devices are designed to work with the iPhone’s AI and Siri. They will provide visual context, allowing Siri to interpret what you see. This means Siri can tailor responses beyond just voice commands. It offers a more immersive, assistant-centric experience through everyday wearables.

Microsoft says Office bug exposed customers’ confidential emails to Copilot AI

Microsoft confirmed a bug in Microsoft 365 Copilot’s AI chat feature. This bug allowed the system to read users' private emails. It summarized them without proper authorization for weeks.

Key points :

  • The issue mainly hit the Copilot "work tab" chat. This affected Office apps like Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint.

  • Emails marked as confidential or sensitive were still processed by the AI. They were protected by data loss prevention (DLP) policies.

  • The bug first showed up in late January 2026. It remained active until Microsoft began releasing patches in early February.

  • 🛡 Why this matters

  • Organisations rely on sensitivity labels and DLP controls to keep confidential communications secure. The bug got past those controls. This let Copilot’s summarisation engine access even protected emails.

  • 🧩 Microsoft’s response

  • Microsoft identified the issue as a code error, tracked internally as CW1226324.

  • A fix was deployed in early February, and Microsoft has been monitoring its rollout.

  • The company is reaching out to affected customers to confirm the fix. However, it hasn’t said how many users or organisations were impacted.

  • 📌 Context & wider impact

  • Independent security researchers first detected the problem and reported it through advisory channels.

  • The IT department of the European Parliament has blocked Copilot AI features on lawmakers' devices. This was due to privacy concerns, likely tied to ongoing talks about confidentiality.
