OpenAI has cut off a developer who built a device that could respond to ChatGPT queries to aim and fire an automated rifle. The device went viral after a video on Reddit showed its developer reading firing commands aloud, after which a rifle beside him quickly began aiming and firing at nearby walls.

A lawyer for billionaire Elon Musk has asked attorney generals in the states of California and Delaware to push OpenAI to auction a major stake in its business to decide fair value of its charitable asset during its corporate restructuring,

Former OpenAI employee Suchir Balaji was found dead from an apparent suicide in November, but his mother is calling foul play.

Nvidia, Google and hot startup OpenAI are turning to "synthetic data" factories amid demand for massive amounts of data needed to train artificial intelligence models.

Phi-4 and an rStar-Math paper suggest that compact, specialized models can provide powerful alternatives to the industry’s largest systems.

Two major developments have put AI on a new course: chip shortages during the COVID pandemic made chips a political topic while the software breakthroughs of OpenAI and other large language models sparked a race in generative AI. Let’s start with the hardware story.

OpenAI on Friday outlined plans to revamp its structure, saying it would create a public benefit corporation to make it easier to "raise more capital than we'd imagined," and remove the restrictions imposed on the startup by its current nonprofit parent.

Red teaming has become the go-to technique for iteratively testing AI models to simulate diverse, lethal, unpredictable attacks.

Indeed, Musk suggested that synthetic data — data generated by AI models themselves — is the path forward. “The only way to supplement [real-world data] is with synthetic data, where the AI creates [training data],” he said. “With synthetic data … [AI] will sort of grade itself and go through this process of self-learning.”

Google Cloud CISO on AI’s cybersecurity “defender’s advantage,” Nvidia impresses analysts—but not investors—at CES, OpenAI teases AGI.

The rise of agents, a new set of artificial intelligence tools that can work autonomously, offers a fertile ground for a select group of startups.
