The European Commission said TikTok may have violated the EU’s Digital Services Act by failing to assess and limit risks from its personalized video recommendations. It called for changes to the “For You” feed; TikTok disputes the preliminary findings and can respond before the commission makes a final decision.
Key Facts
EU regulators said TikTok’s recommendation system can repeatedly show similar videos, including content they describe as potentially harmful to mental health and body image.
The commission said TikTok did not adequately assess the risk that recommendations could lead users into “rabbit holes.”
Regulators want TikTok to give more weight to users’ stated preferences, rely less on viewing time, and make content controls easier to find.
The commission said TikTok’s existing “not interested” button has not effectively reduced recommendations of harmful content.
TikTok called the commission’s findings fundamentally inaccurate and said it gives users control over their content experience.
TikTok can respond before the commission issues a final decision; a penalty could reach 6% of the company’s total annual revenue.
The commission opened its investigation more than two years ago and has issued two other sets of preliminary findings this year concerning addictive design and children’s privacy.

Meta has indefinitely paused a planned update to its commercial terms that would have let it use content from websites linked to Facebook business pages to develop AI and other products. The company said its current terms remain in effect while it consults stakeholders.
Key Facts
Meta originally planned to put the updated terms into effect on October 30, then delayed them until November 20.
The proposal would have required businesses with Facebook pages to let Meta crawl linked websites, with no opt-out described in the article.
The terms reportedly required some publishers to provide test credentials so Meta’s bots could access paywalled content.
Courts in Brazil and Norway issued preliminary injunctions against the terms after organizations filed lawsuits.
The United Kingdom’s Competition and Markets Authority opened an investigation into whether Meta was using its market position to obtain AI training data.
U.S. Senators Adam Schiff and Marsha Blackburn asked Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to withdraw the terms.
Meta said its existing crawling practices remain unchanged and that website owners can use robots.txt files to state crawling preferences.
Meta did not include specific language about respecting robots.txt preferences in its revised terms, according to the article.

The article examines concerns that artificial intelligence could weaken Gen Z Americans’ ability to build wealth by disrupting jobs and earnings. A TIAA survey found that Gen Z respondents were more likely than respondents overall to view workplace AI as a threat to retirement plans, though an economist said AI’s effects will depend on how employers and workers use it.
Key Facts
In an October TIAA report, 40 percent of surveyed people said they considered AI in the workplace a threat to their retirement plans; the figure was 51 percent among Gen Z respondents.
One-third of TIAA survey respondents said they were very or extremely concerned that AI could disrupt their careers or reduce their earning potential before retirement.
A 2025 Northwestern Mutual report said Gen Z people who work with financial advisers began doing so at an average age of 23, compared with 30 for millennials and 49 for Boomers and older generations.
A U.S. Bank survey of 5,000 adults, conducted from June 15 to July 1, found that respondents reported starting to build wealth at an average age of 19 for Gen Z, 25 for millennials, and 29 for Gen X.
In the U.S. Bank survey, 29 percent of Gen Z respondents said debt had affected their plans to achieve goals such as homeownership.
Economist Teresa Ghilarducci said AI could help workers if it complements their skills, but could hurt them if employers use it to replace labor or intensify work.
The article cites a Senate report that said 100 million U.S. jobs could be at risk from automation and AI.
The article says Challenger, Gray & Christmas reported that AI was cited in 121,401 announced job cuts as of October.

A study of 2,674 people with solid tumors found inherited cancer-risk variants in about 10 percent of patients whose tumors underwent genetic analysis. The researchers estimated that standard testing pathways could miss about one-third of patients with a hereditary cancer-predisposition syndrome, and said confirmed findings could help patients’ relatives get testing and tailored screening.
Key Facts
The study appeared in the journal Genome Medicine.
Researchers analyzed tumor samples collected through an Italian program from January 2022 to December 2023.
The study used next-generation sequencing to examine more than 500 genes.
About 16 percent of the identified inherited variants were in genes not usually linked to the patient’s cancer type.
Another 20 percent involved genes associated with moderate cancer risk, which guidelines generally do not require clinicians to routinely test.
Researchers said relatives could be offered cascade testing if a patient’s inherited variant is confirmed.
An inherited cancer-risk variant raises risk but does not mean a person will necessarily develop cancer.

Former Rockstar technical director Obbe Vermeij says AI-assisted reverse engineering could make unofficial PC versions of console games easier to create. He thinks the possibility could lead Rockstar to release the official PC version of Grand Theft Auto VI sooner after its console launch, though no release date has been announced.
Key Facts
Vermeij left Rockstar in 2009 and discussed the issue in an interview with Rock Paper Shotgun.
Rockstar has often released PC versions of major games months or years after their console versions.
Vermeij said an AI-assisted PC port based on the PS5 version of GTA VI could concern Rockstar.
He estimated that reverse-engineering GTA VI could cost tens of thousands of dollars in AI service tokens.
Vermeij said an unofficial port might be good enough for some PC players but likely would not match Rockstar's official version.
Rockstar has not announced a release date for the GTA VI PC port.
Reports cited in the article say Rockstar is aiming for a PC release in the first quarter of 2027.

Researchers developed a machine-learning model that uses resting-state brain scans to compare brain activity with patterns seen in SuperAgers and people with Alzheimer’s disease. In follow-up data, cognitively unimpaired adults with more Alzheimer’s-like patterns showed faster cognitive decline, more amyloid-beta buildup and a greater likelihood of developing clinical Alzheimer’s disease.
Key Facts
The study introduced the Alzheimer’s Resilience-Vulnerability Connectome, or ARC, to place people along a spectrum of brain activity patterns.
Researchers trained and evaluated ARC using scans from 180 SuperAgers and 110 people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease; all were at least 75 years old.
The researchers tested the model in a separate group of 143 people.
They then applied ARC to 818 slightly younger adults who had no signs of cognitive impairment and were not classified as SuperAgers.
Follow-up data covered periods of five to 15 years.
Adults with more Alzheimer’s-like scan patterns had faster cognitive decline and greater amyloid-beta accumulation.
Those adults were also more likely to progress to clinical Alzheimer’s disease.

Three Republican House committee chairs asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to attend a closed-door briefing on November 18 about reports of a Chinese espionage operation targeting him. Nvidia rejected the claims and said its internal review found no evidence that chips sold to Singapore-based cloud company Megaspeed had been diverted to China.
Key Facts
The committee chairs who wrote to Huang lead the House committees on China, foreign affairs, and intelligence.
The lawmakers want Huang to explain Nvidia’s security measures against foreign espionage and address risks to U.S. national security.
The New York Times reported that U.S. intelligence officials believed Huang was targeted by a Chinese spying operation.
The concerns involve Alice Huang, an executive at Megaspeed, which has bought billions of dollars’ worth of Nvidia chips.
Nvidia said Huang meets thousands of customer executives and that regional cloud customers do not receive sensitive trade secrets or national security information.
Nvidia conducted unannounced on-site inspections at Megaspeed in Singapore and found no evidence of chip diversion to China, according to people familiar with the review.

The European Commission issued preliminary findings that TikTok failed to protect users, especially young and vulnerable people, from repetitive content that could worsen anxiety, eating disorders and other mental health problems. The Commission says TikTok’s safeguards were ineffective and wants changes to the For You feed; the company can review the case and respond before officials make a final decision.
Key Facts
TikTok has 189 million users in the European Union, according to the article.
The investigation focused on how repeated exposure to legal content can affect users, even when individual videos are not harmful on their own.
The Commission found that selecting “not interested” did not reliably stop TikTok from recommending similar content about diet and body image.
The Commission said refreshing the feed offered only brief relief from repeated content on a topic.
The findings are part of an investigation opened in February 2024 under the EU Digital Services Act.
TikTok can review the investigation file and present a defence, and it could agree to change its recommendation system.
If the Commission confirms the findings, TikTok could face a fine of up to 6% of its global turnover.

Phosphorus applied to farms can bind to soil minerals and become difficult for crops to absorb, even as reserves build up over time. The article describes soil microbes and enzymes as a possible way to make some phosphorus more available, while noting that any practical treatment would need independent testing in real farm conditions.
Key Facts
Phosphorus supports plant energy transfer, root growth, and crop reproduction.
Some applied phosphorus binds to soil minerals and becomes less accessible to plant roots.
Accumulated phosphorus that crops cannot readily use is often called legacy phosphorus.
The article cites research published in Soil and Tillage Research on residual phosphorus in agricultural soils.
Some soil bacteria produce phytase, an enzyme that can release phosphate from phytate, an organic form of phosphorus.
The author says work involving more than 10,000 microbial strains identified a soil-derived bacterial isolate with phytase-like activity.
The article says the isolate's practical value would require independent validation and testing under agricultural conditions.
