These are the daily tech headlines for Thursday, May 7, 2026. I'm Jen Kutter. After being teased in March, Google unveiled the Google Fitbit Air, a screenless passive wearable weighing 12 grams with a band and 5.2 grams without. The device can measure heart rate, sleep detect signs of AFIB with irregular heart rhythm notifications and provide data on heart rate variability. The screenless device has no buttons and can auto detect activities like running, walking, rowing and other high heart rate cardio and sport activities. The estimated battery life goes up to a week and a five minute charge can restore a day's worth of power. A 90 minute charge will bring the battery up to full. The Google Fitbit Air is available for pre order now for $100 US releasing May 26 and is compatible with most phones on Android 11 or higher and Apple iOS 16.4 or higher. Google also announced the Fitbit app will be called the Google health app beginning May 19. Fitbit data will automatically be available in Google Health and Google Fit users will have the option to migrate later in 2026. The Google Health app AI powered trainer health Coach, previously tested as Fitbit Health Coach, will be a premium feature for Google Health Premium subscribers. Fitbit Premium will be called Google Health Premium beginning on May 19th and the annual cost is rising from $79.99 per year to 99 per year, though the monthly plan remains stable at $9.99.

On Wednesday, the European Commission confirmed an agreement on the AI Omnibus package of amendments to the Artificial Intelligence act, including a ban on AI generated non consensual intimate images. Dates for AI companies to implement changes to comply with the AI act have been pushed back from August 2026 to December 2027, and standalone high risk AI systems and select embedded AI products will need to comply by August 2028. Compliance with the ban on AI generated non consensual intimate images must be implemented by December 2026, CNBC sources report. The European Union is considering restricting member governments from using US Cloud providers for sensitive data purposes. A tech sovereignty package is expected to be presented by the European Commission on May 27. The proposal would not entirely prohibit use of overseas cloud platforms by governments focused instead on limiting use for processing sensitive information like health, financial and judicial data. Any proposal would need to be Approved by all 27 member states. Wired Report Cybersecurity firm Red Access analyzed thousands of Vibe coded web apps by AI development tools replit data base 44, netlify and lovable and found over 5,000 lack security or authentication of any kind. Red Access claims anyone with the Web URL for the apps have full access to the data or only require an email address to get through. 40% of the apps expose sensitive info like medical and financial data, corporate strategy documents and logs of conversations with chatbots. A spokesperson from Lovable said. Lovable gives builders the tools to build securely, but how an app is configured is ultimately the creator's responsibility. On Thursday, Spotify announced the interactive AI DJ now supports French, German and Brazilian Portuguese. Adding to the previously launched English and Spanish options. The AI DJ provides commentary on songs the platform suggests for users and features the option to chat with the dj, including the ability to make requests for songs or make genre changes.

An IGN commissioned study called Generations in Play 2026 Audience Insights report examined trends of Gen Z's media activities.

Gen z is also 13% more likely to attend theatrical releases on opening weekends compared to older demographics, and Diablo 4's secret cow level has finally been discovered three years after the game's launch. Diablo and Cow levels have a storied history. First place popping into playable form in Diablo 2 after all the rumors of one existing in the original Diablo. Diablo 3 had not the Cow level as an anniversary event, and now Diablo 4's cow level can be accessed after a rather lengthy side quest process. A current rumor claims this new Cow level won't be the only one, as the Cow King has a random drop called the Prime Rib. The item description reads, a royal cut of beef with perfect marbling, a majestic texture and a regal flavor. Such a prime cut would be a worthy offering to anyone, even to a God.
