    Cuttlefish runs natively on Mac: Bringing the Android Virtual Device framework to Apple Silicon

    Meta has natively ported the Android Virtual Device framework Cuttlefish to macOS, by supporting QEMU and vhost-user, solving the technical challenges of running virtual devices on Apple Silicon, improving development efficiency, and unifying testing environments. The new version supports macOS's display, signing, and build processes, and expands features such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and 3D graphics, allowing Mac developers to use high-fidelity virtual devices the same as CI.

    United Airlines prohibits AI agents from booking flights for passengers.

    United Airlines stated on Wednesday that due to safety risks and potential violations of federal regulations, AI agents are prohibited from booking flights for travelers. The airline noted that AI agents accessing customer personal information (including payment credentials) could expose sensitive data and may lead to unintended purchases, account changes, or misuse of frequent flyer miles. United Airlines will update its booking and ticketing policies to directly or indirectly restrict the use of unauthorized third-party personal AI agents or assistants through its digital platform, travel agencies, and aggregators.

    Meta launches Your Algorithm tool to make Facebook recommendation content more transparently personalized

    Meta has launched the Your Algorithm tool, allowing users to edit interest lists ("Interested In"/"Not Interested In") in natural language to adjust Feed and Reels recommendations in real-time. The system uses LLM to process user preferences and integrate user behavior, achieving responsive adjustments through retrieval, reordering, and pushing optimization stages. New interest content will appear quickly but will not dominate recommendations.

    eBay appears to have banned third-party AI agents from browsing on its platform

    eBay appears to have blocked AI agents, including Meta's Muse, from browsing on its platform, which is the latest hurdle in the AI agent competition. eBay had previously updated its user agreement to prohibit 'buying agents' and 'LLM-driven robots' from placing automatic orders without manual review. Retailers have varying levels of acceptance for third-party AI agents accessing their websites; Amazon has completely blocked external agents from browsing or shopping, while Shopify allows users to set up agents to purchase items from among its 1 billion products.

    Meta points out that anti-data center sentiment will intensify after the midterm elections, making AI expansion more difficult

    Meta executive Dina Powell McCormick said that a Democratic victory in the midterm elections will make it very difficult for companies to build data centers, and noted that the industry 'has not explained the benefits of these investments as well as we need to.' She pointed out that the backlash against data centers - which has been a major focus during this election season - is also related to people's overall feelings about AI technology. Meta believes that if it can show how data centers benefit local communities and the values of the technology itself, it can turn around negative consumer sentiment towards AI.

    AI industry in the US faces regulatory and data center construction resistance after the midterm elections

    After the Democratic Party won both the Senate and House in the US midterm elections, the AI industry is facing the prospect of tighter regulation and slower data center construction, with 43 out of 44 local data center bans passed in the vote. Elected officials have promised to summon CEOs of AI companies to testify, and experts believe that Trump and the Republican Party in Congress have basically ended their efforts to ban state-level AI restrictions.

    Why it matters: The midterm election results and the vote on local data center bans provide specific signals for observing the direction of US AI regulation.
