  • Apple winds down Clips: the forgotten video-editing app reaches end of life
    October 11, 2025, 9:36 PM EDT. Apple has quietly ended active development for Clips, its lighthearted video-editing app. The company said on a support page that Clips is no longer being updated and new users can’t download it from the App Store. Existing users on iOS and iPadOS will retain access for now, but there’s no firm timeline. If you previously downloaded Clips, you can still redownload it from your Apple account in the App Store. Originating in 2017, Clips offered quick editing tools for social media videos, but its features have since become standard in competing apps. Apple now urges users to save their videos to their Photos library or another location as the app winds down.

  • New Hampshire man indicted for creating deepfake video altering police body camera audio
    October 11, 2025, 9:17 PM EDT. Jaxen Cole, a Gilford man, has been indicted on two counts of fraudulent use of deepfakes for altering a police body camera video’s audio. The class B felony charges allege he posted the edited clip to Facebook and Instagram in February 2025, replacing the officer’s words with a fabricated transcript that mocked the officer and referenced Valentine’s Day. The case invokes New Hampshire’s new deepfake law, effective January 1, and raises questions about free speech and defamation. Prosecutors say the video targeted a Laconia officer; Cole has pleaded not guilty. His next court date has not been announced. Cybersecurity experts warn that AI-enabled deepfakes are a growing legal challenge.
  • Gartner: Gen AI Hits Disillusionment Phase Amid Pilot-to-Production Hurdles
    October 11, 2025, 9:08 PM EDT. Gartner says the AI landscape is moving from the early hype to a trough of disillusionment for Gen AI as organizations struggle to scale pilots into production systems. While ML advances toward the slope of enlightenment and is showing value in planning, sourcing, manufacturing, logistics and inventory management, many deployments stall due to integration challenges and concerns over data security. The shift toward agentic AI—systems that pursue goals autonomously—fuels interest, but real-world adoption remains hampered by technical obstacles and governance issues. Enterprises are increasingly focusing on moving beyond isolated pilots, prioritizing scalable architectures, robust security, and governance to realize consistent returns across functions.
