Welcome to our roundup of this week’s spiciest AI news.
This week, Elon Musk claimed Sam Altman tricked him.
Google flopped on the Olympics.
And Argentina’s president wants to make use of AI to predict crime.
Let’s dig in.
Back in court
Earlier this 12 months Elon Musk sued OpenAI and his fellow co-founders only to drop the lawsuit a number of months later. This week Musk filed a brand new lawsuit against Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, and OpenAI with additional claims.
The recent allegations and charges offer fascinating insights into the early discussions before OpenAI became a reality. The lawsuit also shines a lightweight on how seriously Musk views AI’s potential to destroy humanity.
The short version is that Musk says he was duped and OpenAI must pay up. Did things go down like Musks says, or could his memory be just a little fuzzy?

A rush for the exit
OpenAI’s week didn’t get significantly better as its leadership was rocked by one other set of high-profile exits.
It looks as if the push for the emergency exit doors hasn’t slowed down yet. What has slowed down is the announcement of latest product releases.
GPT-4 got a slight bump in performance this week however it still lags Claude Sonnet on the benchmarks. In the absence of GPT-5, voice assistants, and Sora, we’d even accept a demo of some recent feature just to maintain our hopes up.

Google’s Olympic fail
The Olympics are a celebration of excellence but Google’s recent Gemini ad won’t be winning any medals. The company pulled its controversial AI ad from Olympics coverage amid swift backlash.
The idea of using Gemini to exchange heartfelt expressions from an ambitious little girl should probably never have made it past the marketing idea board stage.
I really like using Gemini but while it still suggests that looking at the sun is idea, possibly we should always let the children write their very own fan mail.
It’s tough at the highest
NVIDIA has had a meteoric rise but being top dog comes with additional scrutiny. The company faces two antitrust probes from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) over alleged anticompetitive behavior.
NVIDIA has also hit a number of snags with its anticipated Blackwell chips which could give some hope to its competitors. Intel’s share price took a significant dip this week but its Gaudi chips could see it claw back a few of NVIDIA’s market share.
CheatGPT
It’s becoming almost unattainable for educators to inform if their students are using ChatGPT to put in writing their assignments. Accurate AI-generated text detectors just don’t appear to exist. Or do they?
It seems OpenAI has had a tool for over a 12 months that may detect text generated by ChatGPT. They say they’ve got good the reason why they haven’t released it but possibly there’s more to the story.

Future crime
In the movie adaptation of Philip K Dick’s Minority Report, Tom Cruise’s character finds out the hard way that predictive policing doesn’t work in addition to advertised.
Argentina’s fiery recent president Javier Milei has decided to throw AI at a bunch of the country’s problems, including security. His recent “Artificial Intelligence Applied to Security Unit” will use AI to ‘predict future crimes’.
Are you a criminal? Are you sure? Let’s ask the AI what it thinks you would possibly rise up to in the longer term.

And that’s a wrap.
Did you read Elon Musk’s recent legal filing against OpenAI? They could publish it as a book and sell it on Amazon with zero edits. It’s fascinating.
Let’s hope OpenAI gives us something more exciting to report next week. Less drama and more wow factor, please Sam.
Do you wish the ChatGPT text detector to be released or do your grades rely on OpenAI holding off on that? Even in the event that they do add watermarks, it looks as if they’ll be pretty easy to remove.
