TechCrunch ·

The article recommends five recent stories from the writers and editors of CIO, Computerworld and PCWorld, publications the author can now connect with through a broader media portfolio. The selections cover new devices, privacy and AI, offering readers a window into related technology coverage.

The pieces assess Apple’s updated iPad mini, which one reviewer sees as lacking a clear purpose; Lenovo’s Googlebook 15, criticised for its keyboard, unreliable webcam biometrics and battery life; and the risks to chatbot users’ data after Character.AI filed for bankruptcy. Other stories examine a homemade AI agent that exposed a security flaw and the challenge of hiring for AI skills: LinkedIn data cited in the article puts average advertised pay at about $177,000 for AI roles, compared with $80,000 for non-AI jobs.
