When someone searches Google, you can see exactly where you rank. When someone asks ChatGPT for a software recommendation, you have no idea whether your brand comes up at all. That gap is widening, and most rank-tracking tools were not built to close it.

A growing share of product research and buying decisions now starts with an AI assistant rather than a search engine. The brands showing up in those responses are gaining ground quietly, without leaving any trace in the dashboards marketing teams check every morning. Traditional SEO tools measure a world that is changing faster than most tool roadmaps can follow. Position one in Google still matters. But for an increasing number of queries — “what is the best project management tool for a remote team?” or “which SEO platform do agencies prefer?” — the first answer a potential customer sees comes from a large language model, not a search results page.

Moz, which has tracked search behaviour for over 20 years, has responded directly to this shift. Its AI SEO Toolkit, built into Moz Pro, adds three tools designed to close the gap between traditional SEO and LLM visibility, without requiring a separate platform or a second login.

The centrepiece is the AI Visibility dashboard. You enter your brand name, specify which terms count as mentions, add up to three competitors, and the tool begins tracking how your brand appears in responses from ChatGPT and Gemini. The dashboard shows not just whether you are mentioned, but where in the response you appear. This matters because an AI answer is not a ranked list of ten links where position three is still visible. It also plots your share of mentions against competitors on the same timeline, so you can see whether a content push, a product launch, or a press mention shifted how often an AI recommends your brand rather than a rival’s.

The other two tools in the toolkit are built to feed that outcome. AI Research surfaces the conversational prompts users are asking AI assistants about your category, paired with organic search data: monthly volume, keyword difficulty, and intent. This is the research layer, telling you which questions to answer before you know whether you are answering them. AI Content Brief then converts that research into a structured brief covering content type, target audience, locale, a sample summary, and a suggested content structure. The three tools form a loop: identify the prompts that matter, brief content to answer them, then track whether your brand earns visibility in the AI responses that follow.

What makes the timing relevant is that most competitors are not measuring this yet. The brands establishing presence in LLM-generated answers now are the ones that will be difficult to dislodge when AI-assisted search becomes the default rather than the exception. The window for building that presence without fighting for ground is still open, but it will not stay that way indefinitely.

AI Visibility is available on Moz Pro’s Medium plan and above. A free trial lets you set up your dashboard, enter your competitors, and see where your brand currently stands in AI-generated responses before committing to a plan.

If you’re a PlayStation customer who lives in the US, you may be eligible to claim part of an upcoming $7.85 million settlement payout. The case centers on an allegation that Sony “unlawfully eliminated competition and monopolized the market for [its] digital games” by no longer selling game-specific vouchers that let PlayStation owners buy digital games from different online shops.

The class-action lawsuit Caccuri v. Sony Interactive Entertainment alleged that Sony’s actions caused “consumers to pay more for certain digital games than they otherwise would have paid on the PlayStation Store.” It alleges that this action is a violation of antitrust laws, as it forces PlayStation customers to buy from a single storefront at an inflated price.

Put simply, the lawsuit alleges that Sony limited the sale of digital games on other marketplaces, funneling customers into its own PlayStation Store. Some of these games include PlayStation exclusive titles, such as The Last of Us, as well as third-party games like Mass Effect Trilogy and Resident Evil 4.

The lawsuit was initially settled in 2024, but the settlement was rejected twice during the approval process — most recently in July 2025 (PDF), when the presiding judge said the proposed plan “[did] not provide an estimated recovery or a range of potential recovery for class members.” The approval process was reinitiated in April.

Sony denied that it engaged in any wrongdoing or that settlement class members were damaged by its actions, and the court has not decided if the company violated any laws. Despite this, the court has preliminarily approved the $7.85 million settlement payment, subject to the court’s final approval hearing.

The settlement website is live now. The hearing is scheduled to take place on Oct. 15, and it’s meant to confirm the settlement sum, allocate up to 25% of the funds for attorneys’ fees and create a plan to distribute the rest of the money to eligible class members.

If you fit all of the criteria to be part of the Sony PlayStation game-voucher settlement, you’re automatically a class member in this lawsuit and will be able to collect a portion of the settlement money — added directly to your PlayStation Network account wallet — sometime after the final approval hearing.

Gamers who have deactivated their PlayStation Network accounts can apply for the settlement payment by sending qualifying purchase information to the email address info@PSNDigitalGamesSettlement.com. Customers with deactivated accounts will receive cash payments instead of PSN account accreditation.

You can opt out of the settlement if you’d like to retain your right to sue Sony separately in regard to its game-voucher sales practices. If you don’t send a written request to the court opting out of or objecting to the settlement by July 2, you will remain part of the settlement class.

Who can be part of the Sony PlayStation settlement?

Not every PlayStation owner is automatically eligible. The money is reserved for those who purchased a digital game through the PlayStation Store during a period after Sony ceased its sales of game-specific vouchers for alternative online storefronts.

In order to join, you must meet the following qualifications:

1. Be a living individual human being in the US or its territories.
2. Have purchased one of the eligible digital games (PDF) through the PlayStation Store between the period of April 1, 2019 and Dec. 31, 2023.

Affected individuals are automatically part of the settlement class and will receive their compensation through their PlayStation Network account wallet, subject to approval at the final hearing, the date and time of which could change. Any updates will be posted to the settlement website.

How much will the Sony PlayStation settlement pay?

It’s unclear how much each settlement class member will receive, though we know affected parties will automatically receive compensation in the form of PlayStation account funds.

Up to a quarter of the $7.85 million settlement will be used to pay attorneys’ fees, taxes and other administrative costs. The remaining settlement money will be administered equally to every settlement class member. Settlement class members will likely see a couple of dollars added to their PlayStation accounts once the funds are fully allocated.

South Korea’s Deputy Prime Minister Bae Kyung-hoon said the wealth created by artificial intelligence must benefit the wider public, warning that the labour tensions that nearly shut down Samsung Electronics this week are not an isolated event but a preview of what the AI era will produce. Speaking to CNBC on Friday, Bae said that as AI generates unprecedented corporate profits, the question of how that wealth is distributed, and whether the technology worsens inequality, is now a matter of national policy.

“In the age of AI, more of these super-large companies will continue to emerge,” Bae said. “In that process, labour-management conflicts may continue to arise, and when they do, it will be important to resolve them wisely through dialogue.”

The reference was unmistakable. Samsung’s largest labour union had been preparing an 18-day strike that South Korea’s prime minister warned could cost $668 million per day. The walkout was suspended on Wednesday after government-mediated negotiations produced a tentative deal. Workers had demanded that 15% of Samsung’s operating profit be allocated to bonuses and formalised in employment contracts. Samsung had offered 10%. The union is voting on the proposed agreement from Friday to 27 May.

The dispute was not abstract. Samsung’s Q1 2026 operating profit reached ₩57.2 trillion, an eightfold year-on-year increase, driven almost entirely by high-bandwidth memory chips for AI infrastructure. The Lee family’s wealth doubled to $45.5 billion in twelve months. Samsung’s share price has risen nearly 144% year to date. SK Hynix is up almost 200%. The Kospi index has gained more than 86% in 2026, surpassing last year’s 75% rise. The wealth is real, concentrated, and visible.

Bae, who also serves as South Korea’s minister for science and technology, pointed at automaker Hyundai as another pressure point. The company is integrating Boston Dynamics’ Atlas robots into its manufacturing processes, a deployment that Bae said has generated “many concerns and worries” about the impact on workers. Hyundai acquired a controlling stake in Boston Dynamics in 2021 and announced its AI robotics strategy at CES 2026, positioning itself to lead what it calls a “human-centred robotics era.” The framing is aspirational. For workers on the production line, the concern is more immediate.

The political context adds urgency. On 12 May, South Korean presidential official Kim Yeong Beom proposed on Facebook to distribute excess tax revenue generated from Korea’s AI and semiconductor sectors directly to citizens. The post triggered turmoil in markets, with Samsung and SK Hynix shares dropping sharply before an official reportedly clarified that the proposal was Kim’s personal opinion and not a subject of formal government discussions. The fact that even a speculative post about redistributing AI wealth could move billions in market capitalisation illustrates how sensitive the question has become.

Bae framed Seoul’s goal as building an “AI-inclusive society, a society where no one is left behind in the AI era.” The language echoes similar commitments from European and American policymakers, but South Korea’s position is unusual. The country’s economy is more dependent on semiconductor manufacturing than any other advanced nation. Chips accounted for 37% of South Korea’s total exports in April. Samsung and SK Hynix together represent a disproportionate share of the Kospi’s gains. The AI boom is not one sector among many for South Korea. It is the sector.

When asked whether the concentration of market gains in two companies represented a vulnerability, Bae argued that Samsung and SK Hynix sit atop a broader ecosystem of suppliers and service companies that also benefit. He said South Korea is now trying to establish a competitive advantage in physical AI, the category that encompasses robots, autonomous vehicles, and industrial systems capable of sensing, reasoning, and acting in real-world environments. “Semiconductors and AI infrastructure provide the fundamental foundation,” Bae said. “On top of that, Korea is trying to build out the full spectrum of AI capabilities, including various hardware equipment, software, and related services.”

The tension between AI-driven productivity and workforce displacement is global. Detroit’s Big Three automakers have cut 20,000 white-collar jobs while posting hundreds of AI positions. Salesforce cut 4,000 support staff after deploying AI agents. The pattern is consistent across industries and geographies: AI makes companies more profitable and workforces smaller, and the question of who captures the gains is becoming the defining political issue of the technology’s adoption.

South Korea’s version of this question is sharper than most because the gains are so concentrated. Two companies, in one sector, in one country, have seen their combined market value increase by hundreds of billions of dollars in six months. The workers who run the fabrication lines that produce the memory chips powering the AI boom nearly walked off the job this week. Bae’s statement that “the benefits of AI must also go to the public” is an acknowledgement that the market alone will not solve the distribution problem. Whether Seoul’s policy response matches the scale of its rhetoric will be tested every time the next Samsung contract cycle arrives, and every time a Hyundai factory installs another Atlas robot.

Early iPhone 20 leaks indicate a screen that curves gently along every edge of the device. This wraparound approach could eliminate the typical bezels and give the front a continuous look with no visible breaks. When combined with a full glass back, the entire handset may feel like one smooth slab held in the hand.

According to reports, this is part of a larger plan for the 2027 release, which will commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the first iPhone. According to several supply chain insiders who use social media, curved display prototypes are currently in the testing phase. The early manufacturing stages may encounter some challenges, but it is evident that they are making considerable work toward developing the panels that Samsung will manufacture specifically for them.

People in the know mention a simpler rear camera configuration on some models; a prevalent theme is two lenses side by side in a small horizontal strip. We’ve heard that one of the new camera sensors is designed to pick up a lot more light and detail in images, offering users better overall results. Of course, ordinary models are expected to retain a small notch for the front camera, whilst a special edition may take it a step further by totally concealing the selfie camera and face recognition features beneath the display.

Battery life appears to be a significant improvement, as Apple is rumored to be transitioning to silicon-anode technology, which allows you to pack more energy into the existing battery while also stretching out the time between top ups. This transition away from lithium-based cells will not make the phone any larger or heavier. Inside the handset, we can expect to see the new, next-generation A21 processor paired with some fancy new high bandwidth RAM, which will aid in the performance of some of the more demanding AI technologies running on the phone. Some speculate that the chip’s manufacturing process may alter, although nothing has been proven as of yet.

It appears that the chassis may also change significantly. There is a lot of discussion about employing materials other than titanium and aluminum, such as new alloys that can withstand higher temperatures and are lighter. That will have to be weighed against the fact that the frame must hold the curved glass while remaining strong enough to handle daily wear and tear. Physical buttons may disappear and be replaced by touch-sensitive surfaces on the sides. These would function by recognizing pushes via vibrations, similar to a laptop trackpad, making it very easy to distinguish between a light or forceful touch.

It’s been a long, long time coming, but remakes of two all-time classic puzzle adventure games hit PS5 and PS VR2 this week. Cyan Worlds released this version of Myst on Meta Quest headsets in 2020; PC, Mac and Xbox in 2021; and iOS in 2022. PlayStation had been an outlier until now. It’s available for Sony’s console and VR headset (usually $35, 20 percent of for PlayStation Plus members until May 26)

The remake of the sequel, Riven, debuted on PS5, PS VR2, Xbox Series X/S and the Microsoft Store on PC as well (also $35, but with a limited-time discount). The PS5 Pro versions of both games have “better view distance, foliage, textures, post-processing and shading,” per the PlayStation Blog.

I’ve never played Myst, but Riven was one of the first games I had on PC as a kid. I remember it looking very pretty back then, unlike any game I’d seen before.

Alas, I never made much progress. If I recall correctly, I couldn’t figure out what some of the various handles and levers I found in the opening section actually did and I quickly gave up. Perhaps I’d have more success in Riven (and Myst) now, even if puzzle games aren’t necessarily my forte.

Speaking of being an idiot as a child, I spent a lot of time playing Bubsy in: Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind when I was young. I really liked it at the time, but in hindsight that game is not good. I mention this because Bubsy 4D — the first Bubsy game since 2019 and the first one in 3D in 30 years — dropped this week.

The quippy bobcat is back thanks to Fabraz (Demon Tides) and publisher Atari. In this platformer, Bubsy sets out on a mission to recover a Golden Fleece from the technologically enhanced sheep that stole it — I’m not going to try to explain the lore beyond that.

Bubsy has some new tools at his disposal, like being able to roll into a ball form and move faster. That should help players who want to finish levels as quickly as possible as claw their way up the online leaderboards.

There’ll be a nostalgia factor for a lot of players here. Honestly, it’s strangely comforting to me that Bubsy sounds as annoying as ever.

Bubsy 4D is out now on PC (Steam, GOG and Epic Games Store), PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. It’ll typically run you $20, though there’s a 10 percent launch discount on GOG.

Thick as Thieves is a game that we’ve had our eye on for a while, and it’s had an interesting journey toward hitting Steam this week ($5). This was originally planned as a multiplayer heist game from a team that includes two stalwarts of the immersive sim and stealth genres in Thief and System Shock 2 veteran Paul Neurath and Deus Ex creator Warren Spector. The idea was that players would battle each other to steal valuable items in a 1910s setting that featured magic and nascent technology.

However, during development, OtherSide Entertainment pivoted after realizing that the solo and two-player co-op mode was more fun than the original vision of competitive heists. The developers said they may add a PvPvE mode down the line.

To begin with, Thick as Thieves features two thieves, two maps (which can be altered by adjusting the difficulty settings), 16 contracts and half-a-dozen pieces of gear. At the outset, the campaign is said to last for around four hours.

Amanita Design’s latest game is Phonopolis, which looks utterly gorgeous in this trailer. It’s a puzzle adventure set in a 3D world made from hand-painted cardboard. The developers animated it at 12fps to mimic the style of stop-motion films.

Here, the residents of the dystopian city of Phonopolis are bossed around by a leader who issues commands via loudspeakers. But one young resident is immune to these orders and starts to fight back against The Man. As Felix, you can rebel by manipulating the loudspeakers to solve puzzles with the help of other characters. You’ll be shifting the environment around as well.

Phonopolis is hitting all the right notes for me and I’m eager to check it out. It’s available on Steam, GOG and Epic Games Store. It’ll usually run you $25, but there’s a 10 percent discount until June 3.

Watch Leinster vs Bordeaux live streams in the 2025/26 Investec Champions Cup final as the two unbeaten sides clash in what should be a highly competitive game at the San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao.

Eight years after their last title and four final defeats, Leinster have another opportunity to secure a fifth European crown. Unbeaten in this year’s competition, the Blues held off a late fightback from Toulon in the semi-finals to reach their fourth Champions Cup final in five seasons. Leo Cullen’s side must now overcome their previous heartache and dethrone the defending champions. It’s a tough ask, but there is plenty of belief in the camp and a determination to add a fifth star to the shirt.
