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.

Holding Off The next big thing in the world of artificial intelligence are so-called "AI agents" — models that are capable of interacting with their environment, like a computer desktop, allowing them to autonomously complete tasks without human intervention.

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.”

It’s a company that has become a household name, and a leader in its field. People are even recognizing the name Sam Altman, as representing the ‘Godfather of AI,’ as we move into this era where artificial intelligence has a greater and clearer impact on how we live and work.

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

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.

Elon Musk says he's worried that "we’ve exhausted basically the cumulative sum of human knowledge" for training AIs. The solution: just have the AI make something up.

Many of these funding rounds share a common goal: advancing AI capabilities, with some aiming for the long-term vision of achieving AGI. However, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has said that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) has become a sloppy term.

The OpenAI CEO recently published a blog post reflecting on AI progress, as well as his brief ouster from the company.
