AI could put people off tech jobs and hurt the economy, warns Raspberry Pi boss

The founder of British computer maker Raspberry Pi has warned that overestimating the abilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) could put people off pursuing tech jobs and hurt the economy.

Eben Upton told the BBC's Big Boss Interview podcast this could "distort people's choices in ways that make that skill shortage worse and not better".

Some people are "very inclined to overestimate what these [AI] tools can do," he said, and warned against claims that it would destroy vast numbers of computing roles over the coming years.

The rise of tools such as ChatGPT and Claude have led to predictions of huge job losses, particularly for tech workers and graduates. Amazon, Meta and Microsoft have already blamed tens of thousands of layoffs on AI over the last year.

But some experts have suggested the technology is being used as a scapegoat for reducing headcount after a post-Covid hiring spree by many big corporates.

AppChatGPT's New 'Duty To Warn': Why Your AI Confessor Is No Longer Private

usually happens in the middle of the night. In the quiet of a bedroom, millions of people are typing out their deepest fears, anxieties, and secrets into a glowing chat window. For many, ChatGPT isn't just a tool to write an email or plan a trip; it has become the only "person" they feel safe talking to. A judgment-free, 24/7 confessional.

But that safe space is about to change. OpenAI's latest rollout, "Trusted Contact," is a massive admission of this new reality. The feature allows ChatGPT to alert a designated real-world contact if its internal systems and a team of human reviewers detect signals of severe emotional distress or self-harm.

is a landmark move that attempts to bridge the gap between digital isolation and real-world intervention. But in the high-stakes world of mental health, it raises a chilling question: If the machine is now a mandatory reporter, will the confessional go silent? Also, given that it is an entirely optional, opt-in safety feature, how will it actually protect the truly vulnerable?

Alphabet’s AI Surge: Why investors are re-rating Google as the ultimate AI stack play

Alphabet is rapidly transforming from a search and advertising giant into one of the world’s leading AI companies. Strong growth in Google Cloud, Gemini AI, and custom AI chips has boosted investor confidence. Markets now view Alphabet as a major player in the next phase of the AI revolution. (Sources: TechRepublic, CNBC, The Motley Fool, Reuters, Bloomberg)

Investor focus in the AI boom is shifting beyond chipmakers like Nvidia. Markets are now rewarding companies that can monetize the entire AI ecosystem, including cloud, AI models, chips, and enterprise services. Alphabet’s presence across all these segments has helped position the company as one of the biggest AI winners globally. Reuters reported that Alphabet’s valuation is moving closer to Nvidia’s market value.

Alphabet’s stock has surged sharply over the past year as investors reassessed the company’s AI potential. CNBC noted that investors increasingly value Alphabet’s ownership of “most of the AI stack.” The company benefits from a powerful ecosystem that includes Search, Android, YouTube, Google Cloud, and Gemini AI. This gives Alphabet multiple ways to monetize AI at scale.

Google Cloud has emerged as a key driver of Alphabet’s AI-led growth. Reuters reported that cloud revenue growth has significantly exceeded expectations in recent quarters. Enterprise demand for AI infrastructure and AI-powered applications is helping Google Cloud expand rapidly. Gemini AI integration is also strengthening the company’s enterprise offerings.

Cloudflare cuts 1,100 jobs despite record revenue as CEO says AI changed workforce needs

Cloudflare says rapid internal AI adoption dramatically increased employee productivity, reducing the need for support roles even as the company posted its strongest revenue quarter ever.

Cloudflare has become the latest major technology company to link workforce cuts directly to AI-driven productivity gains, announcing plans to eliminate around 1,100 jobs despite reporting record quarterly revenue growth.

The internet infrastructure and cybersecurity company said it would reduce its workforce by approximately 20 per cent as part of what chief executive Matthew Prince described as a structural shift in how companies operate in the “agentic AI era”.

The layoffs mark the first mass workforce reduction in Cloudflare’s 16-year history.

The announcement came alongside first-quarter 2026 results showing revenue of $639.8 million, up 34 per cent year-on-year and the highest quarterly revenue in the company’s history.

But the strong growth numbers arrived with a difficult message for employees: Cloudflare believes AI is fundamentally changing how much labour it needs.

“We’ve never done something like this in Cloudflare’s history,” Prince said during the company’s earnings call on Thursday, according to TechCrunch.

Apple has announced that its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) will be held from June 8 to June 12. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the WWDC 2026 teaser has already revealed the first look at Siri’s new design. In his weekly PowerOn news letter,Gurman says that the new Siri design will feature visual elements that resemble the glow effect seen in the WWDC26 poster art, particularly when the device will be used in dark. “Siri’s new look is what Apple is highlighting in its teaser. The design currently being tested within the company includes a Siri interface that sits within the Dynamic Island, the pill-shaped element near the top of the screen. When Siri is triggered, the Island expands with a prompt that reads “Search or Ask,” accompanied by a glowing cursor. It looks similar to how the “26″ is highlighted in the conference’s logo,” he writes in the newsletter.

Web infrastructure provider Vercel has disclosed a security breach that allows bad actors to gain unauthorized access to "certain" internal Vercel systems.

The incident stemmed from the compromise of Context.ai, a third-party artificial intelligence (AI) tool, that was used by an employee at the company.

"The attacker used that access to take over the employee's Vercel Google Workspace account, which enabled them to gain access to some Vercel environments and environment variables that were not marked as 'sensitive,'" the company said in a bulletin.

Vercel said environment variables marked as "sensitive" are stored in an encrypted manner that prevents them from being read, and that there is currently no evidence suggesting that those values were accessed by the attacker.
