    NLWEB IS MICROSOFT'S PROJECT TO BRING MORE CHATBOTS TO WEB PAGES (2   
   MINUTE READ) [5]    
      
    Microsoft's NLWeb project enables websites to provide a   
   conversational interface for users with a few lines of code, the AI   
   model of their choice, and their own data. Sites using NLWeb can make   
   their content discoverable and accessible to platforms that support   
   MCP. NLWeb could play a similar role to HTML for the agentic web and   
   allow users to interact directly with web content in a rich, semantic   
   manner. The NLWeb project started with OpenAI, which was working on an   
   early version last November.    
      
    23ANDME AND ITS USER DATA WILL SOON BELONG TO A PHARMACEUTICAL GIANT   
   (2 MINUTE READ) [8]    
      
    23andMe will be sold to Regeneron Pharmaceuticals for $256 million.   
   The sale includes 23andMe's Total Health and Research Services   
   business and biobank of customer data and genetic samples. 23andMe   
   says that customer data is anonymized and stored genetic samples are   
   destroyed when users delete their accounts, but it is unclear how much   
   information is retained. Regeneron's co-founder said that the purchase   
   will further the company's large-scale genetics research into future   
   drugs and treatments. 23andMe has collected genetic samples and data   
   from more than 15 million customers.

    A transcript of an interview with Microsoft's Chief Technology   
   Officer, Kevin Scott, where he talks about the future of search,   
   Microsoft's relationship with OpenAI, Scott's feelings about AI's   
   capabilities scaling up over time, and his thoughts on AI as a   
   creative tool.
