The tech world didn’t slow down this week- and we’ve got all the headlines you shouldn’t miss!
From MongoDB’s stock boost to Elon Musk’s clash with Trump, this week was full of big tech news. Google launched new Gemini features, and Amazon tested robot delivery, proving that tech is moving faster than ever.
In this blog post, we’re breaking down the most important and interesting tech and IT updates from the past week.
Let’s start!
1. UK Court Warns Lawyers About Fake AI Citations
The High Court of England and Wales has warned that lawyers could face serious punishment for using fake case references made by AI tools like ChatGPT.
Judge Victoria Sharp said that while AI can give smart-looking answers, those answers can often be wrong or made up. Lawyers must always double-check AI-generated content using real legal sources before using it in court.
In one case, a lawyer used 45 case references, but 18 of them were completely fake. The judge said legal professionals must follow proper rules when using AI tools, and her ruling will be shared with law organizations.
2. Mistral AI Launches Enterprise Coding Assistant to Rival GitHub Copilot
Mistral AI has launched Mistral Code, a new coding assistant for enterprises, directly competing with GitHub Copilot. It offers on-premise deployment, strong data privacy, and full customization for company-specific codebases.
Built on the open-source Continue project, it includes advanced features like role-based access, audit logs, and 24/7 support. It runs four specialized models and supports over 80 programming languages. The tool aims to solve key issues in enterprise AI adoption, including security and integration.
3. Trump Changes Key Cybersecurity and AI Rules
President Trump has signed a new executive order to cancel several cybersecurity rules set by Biden and Obama. The changes include removing support for digital ID in public services and stopping the push for using AI in protecting energy systems.
Trump's order also drops rules that required stronger encryption and software checks for government contractors. The White House says these steps aim to reduce red tape and focus more on finding real threats.
Experts warn that removing these policies could slow down progress in cybersecurity and AI protection.
4. Musk–Trump Clash May Impact xAI’s $5B Fundraise
Elon Musk’s public clash with Donald Trump may hurt xAI’s efforts to raise $5 billion in debt funding. Musk recently merged social media platform X with xAI, and Bloomberg says he's also aiming for a $300 million secondary sale.
While the drama boosted traffic on X, it could create doubts among investors backing the AI venture.
5. AI Tools Boost Developer Productivity but Spark Job Concerns
Big tech firms promised faster development with AI coding tools, and developers saw results. A GitHub study showed 90% of U.S. users felt AI improved code quality and saved time.
But now, some developers fear job cuts as AI handles more tasks. What started as a productivity boost is now raising concerns about job security in the software industry.
6. Google Gemini Gets Smarter with Scheduled Tasks
Google has added a new “scheduled actions” feature to Gemini for AI Pro and Ultra users. This lets users set up tasks like getting daily calendar summaries or weekly blog post ideas, just like a smart assistant.
You can also ask Gemini to do one-time tasks, like summarizing an event the next day. All tasks can be managed directly in the Gemini app’s settings. This update brings Gemini closer to acting like a personal AI helper.
7. OpenAI Must Keep Deleted ChatGPT Chats Due to Lawsuit
OpenAI is now required by a court order to keep deleted ChatGPT conversations indefinitely, instead of erasing them after 30 days. This order comes from a copyright lawsuit filed by The New York Times.
OpenAI calls the order an “overreach” and is appealing it. The stored data won’t be public and will be accessed only by a small legal team for legal reasons. This change applies to all ChatGPT users, except those in enterprise or education plans with custom contracts.
8. AI Reduces Tech Hiring: Entry-Level Jobs at Risk
The rise of AI tools is changing the job scene for software engineers. Salesforce recently confirmed that AI has helped them reduce hiring, especially for engineers and support roles.
Their CFO said AI boosts productivity, so fewer people are needed. This trend is now common across big tech companies, raising concerns for new graduates and entry-level job seekers.
Experts warn that AI may replace junior tech roles, making it harder for freshers to get a foot in the door. As AI tools grow, the future of software jobs is starting to shift.
9. Google I/O 2025: Major AI, XR, and Smart Glasses Announcements
Google I/O 2025 revealed exciting updates, focusing mostly on AI across its services. Highlights include Gemini AI upgrades, Android 16, and a new XR platform for AR/VR glasses. Google also teased features like 3D video calling and AI-based shopping tools.
The company showcased Project Aura, its latest smart glasses in partnership with Xreal. These previews show Google’s clear goal of building a future where AI powers everything from search to real-world interaction.
10. Google Launches NotebookLM App: Your Personal AI Research Assistant
Google’s viral AI research tool, NotebookLM, is now available as a standalone Android app, making research easier than ever. Powered by Gemini 2.0, the app helps break down complex topics using your own data- PDFs, articles, YouTube links, Google Docs, and more.
Whether you're studying, building presentations, or brainstorming product ideas, NotebookLM can:
- Summarize textbooks or lectures in simple terms
- Create structured presentation outlines
- Analyze market data for hidden insights
NotebookLM was earlier browser-only, but with this new app, Android users can explore its features on the go. (iOS release expected soon!)
11. Amazon’s Delivery Robots May Soon Be Jogging to Your Door!
Amazon is reportedly testing humanoid robots that can deliver packages straight to your doorstep. These robots will travel in Rivian electric vans and hop out to make deliveries while the human driver does the rest.
According to insider reports, Amazon is working on special software that gives these robots human-like movement for door-to-door tasks. With over 20,000 Rivian vans already in use, these robots could be the next step in Amazon’s delivery future.
While they won’t replace drivers yet, they could speed up the process by making multiple deliveries at once. Imagine a robot running up to your porch- this could be real, very soon!
12. MongoDB Shares Jump 13% After Strong Results and Higher Forecast
MongoDB's stock went up nearly 13% after the company shared better-than-expected earnings and increased its future revenue forecast. The main reason? Its cloud-based database service, Atlas, is growing fast and doing really well.
In Q1, MongoDB earned $549 million, a 22% jump from last year. Analysts had expected $528 million, so this result was higher than expected. The company also reported $1.00 per share in adjusted earnings, while experts predicted just 66 cents.
CEO Dev Ittycheria said the company is ready for “profitable growth” thanks to the rise in cloud applications. MongoDB’s Atlas service alone grew 26% and now makes up 72% of total revenue.
The company now expects to make $2.25 to $2.29 billion this fiscal year and earn $2.94 to $3.12 per share, higher than its earlier guidance. This shows a strong belief in the future of its cloud services.
13. Nvidia Becomes World’s Most Valuable Company Again
Nvidia has once again become the most valuable publicly traded company, overtaking Microsoft with a market cap of $3.45 trillion. This rise is driven by the high demand for Nvidia’s AI chips, which power tools like ChatGPT and other advanced software.
The stock jumped 3% in a day and 24% over the past month, showing strong investor confidence despite global trade concerns. Nvidia’s Vera Rubin chips were also featured in a new U.S. supercomputer announcement, boosting excitement around its future in AI and computing.
