Welcome to The Daily AI Briefing! Today we're covering a packed agenda of AI developments shaping our world. Apple's WWDC surprisingly downplayed AI, Chinese tech giants froze AI tools during critical national exams, a new UI design tool transforms text into functional interfaces, and the UK government is deploying Gemini to revolutionize infrastructure planning. We'll also highlight trending AI tools and job opportunities in the field. Stay with us for your essential AI insights of the day. Let's start with Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference. Despite the AI hype dominating the tech industry, Apple's approach was notably restrained. While they did introduce features like Live Translation for real-time language conversion in Messages and FaceTime, Visual Intelligence for analyzing on-screen content, and AI enhancements to Shortcuts, these announcements felt secondary to other OS updates. The new "Workout Buddy" on Apple Watch, using AI for personalized coaching based on biometric data, was one highlight. However, in a year when competitors are aggressively pushing AI products, Apple's cautious approach stands out. Moving to China, major tech companies including ByteDance, DeepSeek, and Tencent temporarily disabled AI features during the country's gaokao university entrance exams. With over 13 million students competing for limited university spots, these companies blocked their AI tools from analyzing exam-related images or answering test questions to prevent cheating. Users attempting to use these platforms with exam content received messages about service suspension during the testing period from June 7-10. This coordinated effort supplemented other anti-cheating measures, including AI-powered monitoring in exam halls. For those interested in UI design, Google's new design tool "Stitch" is transforming text prompts into functional UI designs. The process is straightforward: visit the platform, choose mobile or web, describe your app idea in detail, and review the generated plan showing all proposed screens. The AI then creates a complete UI set that can be edited as needed. You can apply themes like dark mode or custom colors and export to Figma for design work or get code for development. The tool maintains design consistency across all screens automatically, making it invaluable for quick prototyping. In government applications of AI, the UK has partnered with Google to create "Extract," a tool leveraging Gemini AI to digitize millions of planning documents. This innovation can transform processes that would normally take a planning professional two hours into just 40 seconds. Extract can read and interpret various planning files, including blurry maps and handwritten notes, converting them into digital formats. Currently being trialed in several councils, it's scheduled for nationwide rollout by Spring 2026 to help meet ambitious home-building targets of 1.5 million homes. Among trending AI tools today are Clockwise, an assistant that manages calendars and schedules meetings; Advanced Voice Mode with new expressiveness and translation capabilities; Cursor v1.0 with remote coding features; and Portraits, Google Labs' AI coaching platform featuring trusted experts. As we wrap up today's briefing, it's clear that AI continues to transform industries from consumer technology to government planning. While some companies like Apple take a measured approach, others are pushing boundaries with innovative applications. Tomorrow will undoubtedly bring more developments in this rapidly evolving field. Thank you for joining us on The Daily AI Briefing – we'll be back tomorrow with more essential updates from the world of artificial intelligence.
