Here’s more of Time’s John Ternus interview.

I highlighted a couple of Time’s clips last week, but it published a nine-and-a-half-minute video today from a conversation with Apple’s new CEO. He doesn’t say anything earth-shattering, but it’s an opportunity to see and hear more from the person now steering Apple forward.

Time also published a written profile last week.

Zoom is launching a new “deepfake risk detection” tool for video calls.

The feature analyzes video and audio signals to determine whether they “may have been altered outside of Zoom.” The video conferencing app is also launching a tool that uses AI to make presenters “appear more engaged,” as well as an AI-powered feature that smooths out voices and accents in real time.

The new features are launching in December 2026.
