🎯 Apple Watch Brings AI Blood Pressure Alerts

🧠The Pulse

Your Apple Watch can now warn you if you may have high blood pressure. Apple is using AI to study patterns from your wrist sensors instead of a cuff. Starting with Series 11 and even on Series 9, the watch could flag hypertension quietly before you ever feel any symptoms.

📌The Download

• Apple trained this feature on a heart and movement study with 100,000 people and then tested it with another 2,000 participants. The watch uses AI to study small changes in your heart signals over 30 days. If it finds patterns linked to hypertension, you get a clear notification.

• The alert does not give you a reading. Instead, it advises you to confirm with a cuff and speak with a doctor. The FDA has approved the feature, and it will roll out in 150+ countries. However, some regions, like Canada, may not get access right away due to regulatory delays.

• The feature works on Series 11, Ultra 2, and Series 9 with watchOS 26. It will not work on the SE. You must be 22 or older, not pregnant, and without an existing hypertension diagnosis. Apple expects the tool could help 1M+ people discover high blood pressure in year one.

💡What This Means for You

This feature can give you a quiet safety net on your wrist. It helps you catch a health issue that often shows no signs until it is serious. Even if you feel fine, your watch may point you toward checking with a cuff and staying one step ahead of risk.

🔥 Imagine Sending A Message By Just Thinking It

🧠The Pulse

What if you could send a text or write an email just by thinking of the words? That is what Neuralink wants to test in October. Elon Musk’s brain implant company is preparing a US trial that could give people who cannot speak a new way to communicate.

📌The Download

• Neuralink president DJ Seo explained that the upcoming study has FDA approval under an investigational device exemption. The trial will involve US patients who lost speech due to ALS, stroke, or spinal cord injury. The implant will record signals in the speech cortex and turn imagined words into text on a screen.

• So far, about 12 people worldwide already have Neuralink’s implant. Together, they have logged more than 15,000 hours of use. Current users can already browse the internet, play video games, and post on social media using only their thoughts. The October trial will push further by moving from cursor control to direct speech decoding.

• Neuralink also won FDA Breakthrough Device status, which speeds up reviews. This comes after the agency blocked earlier requests in 2022 over safety concerns. Now the approval marks real progress. Other companies are working on brain-computer speech tools, but Neuralink stands out for its scale, visibility, and Elon Musk’s influence.

💡What This Means for You

This trial is not only about science, it is about changing how humans connect with machines. If Neuralink works, people could talk to friends, share ideas, or search online just by thinking. For knowledge seekers, it opens a window into a future where thoughts may flow straight into technology.

💼 Gmail Vulnerability Reminds Us To Rethink AI Permissions

🧠The Pulse

Think about linking ChatGPT to your Gmail and then watching it quietly hand over your emails to hackers. Security researchers found exactly that risk. The flaw was called ShadowLeak. OpenAI patched it, but the test shows how AI can be fooled into stealing data without you ever knowing.

📌The Download

• Researchers discovered ShadowLeak in June 2025. They sent a single malicious email with hidden instructions written in tiny or invisible text. When ChatGPT’s Deep Research agent scanned Gmail, it followed those commands. It then copied sensitive data like HR forms, bank details, or addresses to a hacker server.

• In their tests, the success rate was 100%. Users did not need to click anything. The attack happened silently on OpenAI’s systems, so victims would never notice anything wrong in Gmail. This “zero click” nature made the flaw especially dangerous. Personal details could disappear without a single alert.

• Researchers also warned that Gmail was not the only target. They said the same trick could be used on other Deep Research connectors such as Outlook, GitHub, Google Drive, and Dropbox. That means contracts, customer records, and meeting notes could also be stolen. OpenAI fixed the flaw by early August and confirmed it on September 3. Sources reported no real-world abuse yet, but experts say this shows how one email can turn AI into a silent data thief.

💡What This Means for You

This news helps you understand how easily AI can be tricked. Even one hidden message inside an email can fool a smart system like ChatGPT. Knowing this keeps you alert when connecting AI to personal accounts. The more you learn about these risks, the better you can protect yourself.

⚡Alibaba Launches Open Source AI Agent To Rival OpenAI

🧠The Pulse

Alibaba has released Tongyi DeepResearch on 18 September 2025, and it has immediately shaken the AI world. The company says this open source research agent is as strong as OpenAI’s Deep Research but more efficient. Developers, researchers, and businesses can now use a powerful AI tool completely free.

📌The Download

• Tongyi DeepResearch is fully open under the Apache 2.0 license. Alibaba has shared the model weights code and benchmarks on HuggingFace GitHub and ModelScope. This allows anyone to download, run, and build on top of it. OpenAI’s competing tool is close,d but Alibaba is giving the world open access.

• The model is called Tongyi DeepResearch 30B A3B. It has 30.5B total parameters but uses a Mixture of Experts system where only 3.3B are active for each token. This means the system works faster and is cheaper to run. Benchmarks show 32.9 on Humanity’s Last Exam, 43.4 on BrowseComp, 46.7 on BrowseComp ZH, and 75 on xbench DeepSearch.

• Alibaba says the agent can handle long research tasks. It can search the web, extract facts, check multiple sources, and combine them into one answer. It is already being tested in Alibaba’s products, such as Amap, which creates travel plans, and Tongyi Farui, which helps with legal AI work. Alibaba claims it can even beat OpenAI’s agent on some tests.

💡What This Means for You

This release could save you money and give you more freedom. You no longer need to depend only on paid tools from OpenAI. You can try a free option that offers strong performance. The next step is clear. Will you experiment with this open agent or wait to see what others build with it?
