These are the daily tech headlines for Monday, June 22, 2026. I'm Jen Kutter. For the first time in 26 years, Samsung is no longer the most valuable company in South Korea, with SK Hynix now holding the top spot. SK Hynix has been the dominant supplier of high bandwidth memory chips. The preceding few years. On Monday, shares of SK Hynix closed 0.1% higher than Samsung, the Wall Street Journal reports. Shares of SK Hynix quadrupled this year, becoming the second South Korean company after Samsung to cross the 1 trillion market value threshold, the Financial Times reports. UK Telecom's Virgin Media 02 and Vodafone 3 introduced a kill switch to deter organ thefts from retail stores. The kill switch renders unsold stolen devices unusable once reported stolen from a store, as the unit will be added to a manufacturer operated database which disables the phone. Back in March, Commissioner of London's Metropolitan Police Sir Mark Rowley stated he'd ask the government for legislation to block stolen phones if handset makers did not do so voluntarily, Digital Trends reports Research by the video editing platform Kapwing found approximately 59% of videos served to newly created TikTok accounts on the for your page are AI slop. This is nearly three times the amount of AI slop shared to new YouTube users. Kapwing's research also states approximately 57% of videos using hashtags aimed at children are AI slop, with 97% of TikToks under the hashtag cartoon kids reported a slop the highest of any category. Back in November 2025, TikTok introduced controls to increase or decrease the amount of AI generated content in a user's feed. TikTok has not yet responded to the results of this new study. Getty Images announced a partnership with OpenAI to bring Getty Images content to OpenAI search and discovery experiences. Getty Images also operates iStock and Unsplash and has an in house AI generating image tool trained on licensed content offering commercial usage options. Terms of the deal were not disclosed in the press release. On Monday, Tencent began a limited test of an AI assistant in WeChat in China called Xiaowei. CNBC translated a statement from the company revealing users interact with Xiaowei with text or voice, communicate with friends and launch mini programs. Tencent and WeChat have not revealed what AI model Xiaowei is based on nor further details of the test at this time. At Unreal Fest in Chicago last week, Epic announced an upgrade Roadmap for the Epic Games Store, which will add long requested features such as improved library management tools and a five times faster boot. Features expected alongside the launcher update include chunked installation for Fortnite third party, patch notes, integrated registration for free to play games and cross region gifting. Future additions include player profiles and avatars, user reviews as well as search upgrades. No date is available as of yet, as the rollout is expected to begin with a private beta followed by a wider release at the US Open. This past weekend, the US Golf association set up a pavilion with seven foot screens to show off their Rules AI chatbot. Designed to answer over 25,000 questions from golfers, the Rules AI chatbot was previously made available to select golf clubs back in May as a pilot program and expected to be available across the US by spring 2027. Presently, the USGA operates a phone and email helpline to answer questions regarding the finer points of the rulebook. For those clubs with access to the chatbot, it features a disclaimer that the system is not a substitute for rulings by human officials and that generative AI is not foolproof. And on Instagram, NASA shared that over the last five years, Mars Rover Perseverance completed travel of over 26.2 miles. The caption reads, Perseverance is only the second explorer to travel the distance of a marathon on another world, following NASA's Opportunity rover, which accomplished the feat in 2015. Opportunity required 11 years and two months to reach marathon distance. The top speed of the Perseverance Rover is 0.1 miles per hour under ideal conditions. So even if you aren't a marathon runner or even ever wanted to be one, you can rest easy in the knowledge that you'd likely be faster than the little Mars rover that could Congratulations.
