GPT-6 Astra, Apple’s on-device audio privacy, and new data centre restrictions

In this episode of AI in Flow, Claire and Peter unpack a business-heavy news cycle. OpenAI launches GPT-6 Astra, positioning it for enterprise workflows with advanced reasoning and computer use, while also strengthening board-level oversight with Paul Christiano joining its Safety and Security Committee. Apple details the privacy architecture behind new Siri AI Audio Intelligence features on Apple Watch, including on-device processing via the Secure Enclave, raising fresh questions for organisational device policies. They also look at Massachusetts introducing new restrictions on data centre development, a reminder that AI capacity planning is increasingly shaped by energy and permitting rules. Plus, Suno releases v6 with record-industry licensed training data, alongside quick hits on India’s Aadhaar Face Authentication SDK, Malaysia’s draft AI Governance Bill, PhonePe’s support and fraud automation, new email-capable agents, and Apple’s reference image trust feature.About Six & FlowSix & Flow is a digital transformation consultancy helping businesses adapt, grow, and thrive in a fast-changing world.
