Google Embeds Gemini Into Gmail To Auto Schedule Calendar Meetings
 =E2=80=A2 Google launched a Gemini-powered =E2=80=9CHelp me schedule=E2=
=80=9D button in Gmail that scans a user=E2=80=99s Google Calendar and p=
roposes meeting times. The tool lets the email recipient pick a slot tha=
t instantly appears on both participants=E2=80=99 calendars.
=E2=80=A2 It only handles one-on-one meetings and adjusts suggestions ba=
sed on cues in the email, such as a request for a 30-minute slot before =
the end of next week. Users can revise or delete proposed times before i=
nserting them into the message.
=E2=80=A2 By folding AI scheduling into Gmail, Google moves onto ground =
held by standalone services like Calendly, Doodle, and Zoom. The company=
=E2=80=99s earlier Calendar appointment feature lacked Gmail integration=
 and any AI context-matching.

HEALTH
AI Flags Lyme Disease After Doctors Dismiss Symptoms
 =E2=80=A2 Moazzezi fed years of tinnitus, fatigue, high blood pressure,=
 and muscle spasms into an AI tool, which identified Lyme disease. A pri=
vate antibody test then confirmed the diagnosis after multiple NHS consu=
ltations had blamed anxiety and hearing loss.
=E2=80=A2 He included the earlier tick bite in his prompt and told the s=
ystem to use verified medical sources only. He is now on treatment and i=
mproving, while NHS officials warn that AI self-diagnosis must not repla=
ce professional care.
=E2=80=A2 Tick-borne disease specialists say existing NHS and private pr=
otocols are =E2=80=9Cnot good enough=E2=80=9D, leaving many Lyme cases u=
ncounted and under-researched. The case shows patients turning to chatbo=
ts when conventional healthcare fails to connect disparate symptoms.

SECURITY
Chinese Crime Rings Drain U.S. Cards Through Toll Scam Texts And Mobile =
Wallet Loophole
 =E2=80=A2 Criminal organizations in China have turned fake highway toll=
 and postal fee texts into a billion-dollar U.S. scam, according to the =
Department of Homeland Security. Investigators say the texts trick victi=
ms into giving up card details that are then used to buy iPhones, gift c=
ards, clothing and cosmetics.
=E2=80=A2 The gangs blast messages from at least 38 SIM farms across Ame=
rican cities, each room packed with devices that can fire off the volume=
 of 1,000 phone numbers. Proofpoint logged a record 330,000 toll-scam te=
xts in a single day last month, with monthly traffic now running 3.5 tim=
es January levels.
=E2=80=A2 The fraud hinges on a loophole that lets the thieves install s=
tolen card numbers into Google or Apple wallets in Asia and instantly sh=
are them with U.S. gig workers. This remote tap-to-pay pipeline removes =
the need for multifactor authentication and gives the gangs a fast, trac=
e-light way to drain accounts and ship goods back to China.

Scientists=E2=80=99 Confidence in AI Plummets Even as Their Usage Soars
 =E2=80=A2 Wiley=E2=80=99s preview of its 2025 research impact report fi=
nds scientists trust AI less than they did in 2024. Yet their use of AI =
tools has jumped from 45% to 62% in the same timeframe.
=E2=80=A2 Concern over hallucinations has climbed from 51% to 64%, while=
 anxiety about security and privacy is up 11 percentage points. Scientis=
ts who once thought AI outperformed humans in more than half of tasks no=
w rate it superior in less than a third.
=E2=80=A2 The survey reinforces earlier studies showing that deeper fami=

i>Criminal organizations in China have turned <b>fake highway toll and p=
ostal fee texts</b> into a billion-dollar U.S. scam, according to the De=
partment of Homeland Security. Investigators say the texts trick victims=
 into giving up card details that are then used to buy iPhones, gift car=
ds, clothing and cosmetics.</li><li>The gangs blast messages from at lea=
st <b>38 SIM farms across American cities</b>, each room packed with dev=
ices that can fire off the volume of 1,000 phone numbers. Proofpoint log=
ged a record 330,000 toll-scam texts in a single day last month, with mo=
nthly traffic now running 3.5 times January levels.</li><li>The fraud hi=
nges on <b>a loophole that lets the thieves install stolen card numbers =
into Google or Apple wallets</b> in Asia and instantly share them with U=
.S. gig workers. This remote tap-to-pay pipeline removes the need for mu=
ltifactor authentication and gives the gangs a fast, trace-light way to =
drain accounts and ship goods back to China.</li></ul><p>Read more <a hr=
