A busy news day across AI, security, and big tech — let's break it down.
Google is quietly rewriting news headlines in Search results. The company calls it a "small and narrow experiment," but publishers are pushing back hard. AI-generated headlines are replacing original ones without any indication they've been changed — meaning your brand voice, context, and tone could all get swapped out without your knowledge. Worth watching closely if you publish online.
OpenAI has shut down its Sora video generator app, and the fallout was immediate — Disney walked away from a reported $1 billion licensing deal. OpenAI says it's refocusing priorities. For creators who were counting on Sora as a production tool, this is a significant development.
On the security front, Google is accelerating its post-quantum cryptography deadline to 2029 — six years ahead of NIST's 2035 target. The reason?

Finally, Google is rolling out Search Live globally, and WhatsApp is testing AI-generated reply suggestions based on your conversation context. AI is now officially inside your messaging app.
