Apple this week secured another victory in its ongoing legal dispute with heart monitoring company AliveCor, after a federal appeals court upheld a 2024 ruling that found Apple's changes to the Apple Watch were lawful product improvements rather than anticompetitive behavior. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court decision that rejected AliveCor's antitrust claims. AliveCor had argued that Apple illegally monopolized the market for heart rate analysis apps on watchOS when it replaced its Heart Rate during Physical Observation (HRPO) algorithm with its heart rate neural network (HRNN) algorithm in watchOS 5. AliveCor claimed that Apple changed the algorithm so that its ECG KardiaBand could no longer identify irregular heart rhythms – as part of an alleged effort to "eliminate opposition" in the heart rate analysis space – and requested that it reinstate the old algorithm. Apple argued that AliveCor did not have the right to dictate Apple's design decisions, and that the request to support the older heart rate technology would require the court to be a day-to-day enforcer of how Apple engineers its products. The court ultimately agreed with Apple. The Ninth Circuit has now affirmed Apple's victory. "The undisputed evidence shows as a matter of law that Apple's refusal to share HRPO data was not anticompetitive," the court wrote. It added that even if some form of heart rate data access were essential for competing in the market, AliveCor's claim would still fail because Apple provides app developers with access to the same Tachogram API data that Apple's Irregular Rhythm Notification feature uses. The appeals court also rejected AliveCor's argument that Apple had a duty to share its proprietary data with competitors. The ruling said that antitrust laws generally impose no obligation for companies to deal with their rivals. It also noted that such a requirement "would implicate the same concerns regarding incentives to innovate and judicial competency that the Supreme Court has articulated." The decision is Apple's second major win against AliveCor within the last year. In March, the Federal Circuit confirmed the invalidation of three AliveCor patents related to heart rate monitoring, vacating an International Trade Commission ruling that could have led to an Apple Watch import ban. AliveCor said at the time of the court's original ruling that it was "deeply disappointed" by the decision and would continue to explore all available legal options, including potential appeals.Tags: AliveCor, Apple Antitrust, Apple Lawsuits This article, "Apple Wins Another Round in AliveCor Legal Battle Over Heart Rate Tech" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums

In a letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook and Google CEO Sundar Pichai, U.S. Senators Ron Wyden, Ben Ray Lujan, and Edward Markey have requested that Apple and Google remove X Corp's X and Grok apps from their app stores over recent incidents of "mass generation of nonconsensual sexualized images of women and children." X has come under fire over the past week amid reports of Grok's AI image generation capabilities being used to create images depicting women and children in bikinis or underwear. In response, X appears to have scaled back the ability for Grok to generate images in response to X posts by non-paying users, but The Verge notes that the tools remain available to paying subscribers and through the dedicated Grok tab in the X and in the standalone Grok app. The senators argue that the "harmful and likely illegal depictions" are in violation of Apple's and Google's app store terms and that the two companies must remove the apps until the policy violations are addressed.. . . Apple's terms of service bar apps from including "offensive" or "just plain creepy" content, which under any definition must include nonconsensually-generated sexualized images of children and women. Further, Apple's terms explicitly bar apps from including content that is "[o]vertly sexual or pornographic material" including material "intended to stimulate erotic rather than aesthetic or emotional feelings." Turning a blind eye to X's egregious behavior would make a mockery of your moderation practices. Indeed, not taking action would undermine your claims in public and in court that your app stores offer a safer user experience than letting users download apps directly to their phones. This principle has been core to your advocacy against legislative reforms to increase app store competition and your defenses to claims that your app stores abuse their market power through their payment systems.The senators request a written response to their letter by January 23.Tag: Grok This article, "U.S. Senators Ask Apple and Google to Remove X and Grok Apps Over Sexualized Image Generation" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums

Two smaller companies, Oklo and TerraPower, along with Vistra, a large energy company, just signed agreements with Meta.

Depuis la fin du mois de décembre 2025, l’intelligence artificielle d’Elon Musk est utilisée pour générer massivement des deepfakes à caractère sexuel. Face à l’indignation et aux appels à bloquer l’outil, les équipes de xAI ont annoncé, vendredi, un changement à la portée très limitée.

Late Thursday, Mr. Musk’s chatbot, Grok, limited requests for A.I.-generated images on X to paid subscribers of the social media site amid an outcry from victims and regulators.

Décidément, l’actualité est chargée pour Grok, mais cette fois-ci, il fait parler de lui « à l’insu de son plein gré ». Mosyle, spécialisée dans la gestion et la sécurité des flottes d’appareils Apple, a repéré un site qui prend l’aspect de Grok pour diffuser un malware qui s’en prend aux Mac, comme le rapporte AppleInsider. Image générée par IA. La page, sise à l’adresse xaillc[.]com, ressemble exactement à l’intelligence artificielle de xAI, et se comporte de la même manière. Elle en profite pour demander à l’utilisateur d’installer une app contenue dans une image disque appelée Grok.dmg, ce qui ne permet pas de soupçonner son côté frauduleux. L’application demandera à l’installation de taper son mot de passe administrateur afin de compléter le process, ce qui ne paraît pas forcément choquant en temps normal. Malheureusement, durant l’installation l’app insère par la même occasion le malware SimpleStealth, qui a pour but de rester silencieux sur la machine de l’utilisateur infecté et de miner des cryptomonnaies Monero. Histoire de rester bien caché, il ne démarre le minage qu’après une minute d’inactivité, et s’arrête immédiatement dès que l’utilisateur revient devant l’écran. Histoire d’être encore plus discret, il se camoufle en process kernel_task et launchd dans le Moniteur d’activité. D’après les chercheurs qui ont décortiqué le malware, celui-ci aurait été produit à grands renforts d’IA, et contient de nombreux passages en anglais et en brésilien. Plus que la langue utilisée, le fait que l’IA ait été utilisée pour programmer SimpleStealth ne fait que suivre une tendance à l’utilisation de l’IA pour programmer des logiciels malveillants, et Mosyle met en garde sur l’accélération de leur développement sur macOS grâce aux chatbots. L’entreprise en profite pour rappeler les bonnes pratiques, ce qui n’est jamais inutile : éviter de télécharger des apps depuis des sites n’étant pas directement ceux de leurs développeurs, spécialement quand le site « ressemble » un peu trop à une copie du site officiel. Privilégiez les téléchargements sur l’App Store ou sur des sites officiels connus. Même si macOS contient des outils de sécurité efficaces, ils ne sont pas infaillibles : toujours se méfier d’une app qui demande le mot de passe administrateur.
