Viwoods has introduced the AiPaper Reader, a 138g Android 16-powered e-reader that adds on-page AI assistance. The compact device lets readers verify terms, translate passages, or summarize figures directly within text. Viwoods thinks this will be of particular use to professional and academic users who read for long stretches or while traveling.

AiPaper Reader keeps answers beside the text rather than diverting users to another app or browser. Its 6.13-inch 300ppi E Ink Carta 1300 display features a low-reflectance layer and adjustable front light for comfortable reading in different environments.

Enhancv has released a new study challenging the long-standing myth that Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) or AI automatically reject most resumes before a human review. According to its interviews with 25 U.S. recruiters and HR professionals, 92 percent said their systems do not auto-reject resumes based on formatting or content.

Instead, recruiters point to overwhelming application volume and the timing of submissions as the real reasons many candidates never make it as far as the interview stage.

Intuit has introduced an all-in-one Agentic AI-driven consumer platform that combines Credit Karma and TurboTax into a single system to deliver year-round control of personal finances.

It represents yet another step in Google’s ongoing integration of the generative model into its most widely used products. The firm added AI smarts to Google Earth not so long ago.

Humberside Police in the UK has released results from a trial of an AI assistant designed to guide officers in the field, suggesting that it could save more than 23,000 officer hours per year. The “Project Moriarty” pilot with Coeus Software looked into how British police forces could use AI to boost efficiency and consistency.

AI is inevitably finding its way into frontline policing, as it is in other professions, and the results from the Humberside Police trial show both its promise and its limits.

Experts are warning that the rapid development and growing availability of artificial intelligence tools is leading to an alarming rise in cybercrimes targeting older adults. Since technology alone cannot stop social engineering, specialists suggest that seniors learn to recognize the recurring scam patterns that criminals have used for decades to steal money and personal data.

The surge in AI is giving cybercriminals new ways to deceive people, with elderly users often among the main targets. According to The Hidden Cost of Scams [PDF] report by Independent Age, adults over 65 in the UK lose an average of nearly £4,000 each, with total losses reaching about £7.4 billion.

SUSE has released SUSE Linux Enterprise 16, which it describes as the first enterprise Linux distribution to integrate agentic AI through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The update aims to let operating systems interact more directly with AI models and external data sources.

The Model Context Protocol, introduced in 2024 by Anthropic, is an open standard for connecting large language models to tools and data. It defines a simple client-server structure that allows AI systems to request information or perform tasks across different applications in a consistent way. SUSE’s adoption of MCP is meant to make those capabilities available at the operating system level, without depending on a single AI provider.

AI assistants, like chatbots, have been providing customer support and functioning in sales and internal support roles for a very long time. Autonomous agents are the next level of AI, as they incorporate reasoning, planning, and execution.

This is already happening on a larger scale in enterprises, with autonomous AI agents streamlining development processes. 79 percent of executives in PwC's report, AI and the Future of Work, maintain that agentic AI is a key driver for prioritizing automation and productivity.
