Before we had AT and T Business Wireless coverage, our delivery GPS wasn't the most reliable. Once our driver had to do a 14 point turn to get back on route. A 14 point turn, an influencer even livestream the whole thing. Not good for business. Now with AT&T business Wireless, routes are updating on the fly and deliveries are on time. And the influencer did get us 53 new followers though.

These are the daily tech headlines for Monday, January 12, 2026. I'm Jen Kutter. Anthropic announced new health and life sciences features for its Claude AI. Claude for Healthcare provides HAPAA ready infrastructure for healthcare providers, insurers and consumers. Much like ChatGPT Health, which OpenAI launched last week, users can connect data from fitness apps to personalize conversations about healthcare issues. American subscribers on the Pro and Max plans can now access the beta for Cloud's healthcare features. With the integration with Apple Health and Android Health Connect rolling out this week, Anthropic states data accessed through integrations is not stored or used to train any models. Following an investigation by the Guardian in early January demonstrating Google's AI overviews providing incorrect and misleading information in response to health queries, a specific snippet regarding liver tests has been removed. AI overviews no longer appear for what is the normal range of liver blood tests, but asking a variation of the question like searching for LFT reference. Rain brings back the AI overview. Other examples from the Guardian investigation providing incorrect information about mental health and cancer remain, a Google spokesperson said. We do not comment on individual removals within search, Reuters reports. The Indian government proposed a requirement for smartphone manufacturers to share source code with the government as well as make software changes as part of a new package of security measures, a Reuters source notes. Apple and Samsung oppose the proposal, though there has not been any public statements by the companies nor from other firms. In December 2025, the Indian government backtracked on a demand for phone manufacturers to pre install an unremovable state backed security app following complaints from privacy advocates, politicians and tech companies. As part of ongoing compliance with Australia's social media ban for users under 16 years old, Meta closed approximately 550,000 accounts. This includes 330,000 Instagram, 173,000 Facebook and 40,000 Threads accounts. In a post from Meta's Australia Policy blog, the company states the ban is merely driving teens to less regulated apps and parts of the Internet, and calls for the Australian government to better engage with industry to find a better way forward instead of blanket bans. The United Kingdom's Office of Communications launched an investigation into social media platform X over concerns regarding the generated sexualized images created by the AI tool grok, including images of children. Ofcom has the power to issue fines of up to 10% of a company's global revenue or a flat cost of £18 million, whichever is greater. Ofcom can also pursue a court order to force ISPs to block X axis within the United Kingdom. Malaysia and Indonesia blocked access to X Over the weekend, Italy's agcom fined Cloudflare 14.2 million euros under the country's privacy shield law for refusing to block access to sites facilitating piracy through its 1.1.1.1 DNS service. Cloudflare will fight the penalty and argues filtering approximately 200 billion daily requests to its DNS system will would negatively impact sites not covered under any piracy ban. In a statement on X, Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince is also considering options like removing servers within the country and discontinuing millions in pro bono cybersecurity services for the Milano Cortina Olympics, CNBC's Jim Cramer reports. Apple entered a multi year partnership with Google for Gemini models and cloud technology for future Apple foundational models. The Apple statement obtained by Kramer says Google's technology provides the most capable foundation, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported. Apple was in talks with Google in August 2025 and the current most popular paid app in China on the Apple Store is translated in English to Are you dead? A tool to check up on people living alone. Users must press a button in the app to check in or the app will send a message to a designated emergency contact if no check ins are posted over two consecutive days. Though the app is aimed at younger people choosing to live alone instead of pursuing a family life, it is also popular with the elderly. The creator of the app known as Liu said the name was not intended to sound bad, but quote a reminder for us to cherish the present.
