These are the daily tech headlines for Monday, June 8, 2020. I'm Sarah Lane. Apple's WWDC keynote kicks off in about an hour from today's recording and we'll have all sorts of news for you in tomorrow's show. Now the rest of the top tech stories. Nvidia and LG are expanding their partnership across robotics, AI data centers and autonomous vehicles. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said that the companies are working closely to combine Nvidia's AI platforms with with LG's manufacturing, robotics and infrastructure capabilities. The deal supports Nvidia's push beyond AI chips into industrial AI and positions LG as a key partner for deploying AI in factories, robots and mobility systems. The Financial Times sources say OpenAI is preparing a major ChatGPT redesign that will expand into coding, image generation and integrations with third party apps like Canva and booking.com the overhaul could reportedly roll out in the coming weeks designed to make ChatGPT a broader productivity platform for consumers and businesses, helping OpenAI attract those enterprise customers, compete more directly with Anthropic and support those rumored IPO plans. Meta told Maine's Attorney General's office that 20,225 Instagram accounts may have been compromised after attackers and exploited a bug in an AI powered account recovery tool that let them redirect password resets to their own email addresses. The flaw primarily affected users without two factor AUTH enabled. Meta has since disabled the tool, reset affected accounts and is notifying users while it investigates what data may have been accessed. Meta also says it has disrupted a phishing campaign linked to Israeli spyware maker NSO Group that targeted fewer than 10 WhatsApp users, primarily in Jordan and Lebanon. Despite a court order banning NSO from targeting WhatsApp or its users. Meta is now asking a federal court to hold NSO in contempt, arguing the campaign violated an injunction that followed its long running lawsuit over that Pegasus spyware platform. Speaking at London Tech Week, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer says he's given Apple and Google three months to block under 18 year old users from taking, sending or viewing nude images on smartphones and tablets, warning that the government will legislate otherwise. The proposal would require child safety protections to be on by default, building on existing online safety rules as the government considers broader restrictions on children's access to social media. Bending Spoons, the owner of Vimeo, WeTransfer, Eventbrite, Event and Evernote filed for a US IPO. The company generated $1.31 billion in revenue in 2025 and 601 million in Q1 2026 alone. Reuters previously reported. Bending Spoons could seek a valuation of around $20 billion as investors continue to back its strategy of acquiring and restructuring struggling Internet businesses, the information sources say. Google has ordered more than 3 million AI chips from Intel Corporation for delivery in 2028, while Nvidia is testing Intel's advanced packaging technology and 18amanufacturing process for future GPUs. The moves reflect growing concerns about relying too heavily on TSMC as AI demand strains capacity and could provide a major boost to Intel's efforts to rebuild its contract chip manufacturing business, Bloomberg sources say. U.S. state Department China coordinator Joshua Young urged NATO allies to use newly expanded defense budgets to remove Huawei equipment from their telecom networks and replace it with other vendors. Gear European leaders are still divided over a Huawei ban as countries like Germany and Spain resist EU wide restrictions, despite concerns that Chinese vendors supply up to 40% of the continent's 5G infrastructure. Uber has opened an interest list for riders in the UK who want to be matched with robo taxis powered by Waves self driving technology ahead of a planned London launch in the coming months. Pending regulatory approval. The service would put Uber and Wave in direct competition with Waymo, which is already testing around 100 autonomous vehicles in London, setting up a key battle for leadership in that ever expanding robo taxi market. And finally today, two new studies from Middlebury College and the University of Cincinnati suggest that smartphones may be a significant driver of falling birth rates. Not from radiation, just from use. The Middlebury study found that the iPhone's early rollout may explain up to half of the US fertility decline between 2007 and 2011among people age 15 to 24. The University of Cincinnati study found teenage fertility rates fell faster across 128 countries as smartphones became widely adopted. As you can imagine, some economists say the evidence remains suggestive, not conclusive.

We'll talk to you tomorrow. Foreign.
