The mother of OpenAI whistleblower Suchir Balaji told Tucker Carlson she believes her son was murdered.

Newsweek contacted OpenAI and the San Francisco Police Department via email for comment. OpenAI has said the company has had no interaction with Balaji since December 2023, almost a year before his death, and that they respected his "right to share views freely."

The sister of billionaire OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman filed a lawsuit accusing him of sexually abusing her regularly between 1997 and 2006, prompting him and other family members to deny her claims.

In a complaint filed on Monday in St. Louis federal court, Ann Altman said the abuse occurred at the family home in suburban Clayton, Missouri, beginning when she was three and her brother was 12.

Now 30, Ann Altman said the abuse included "numerous acts" of rape, sexual assault, molestation, sodomy and battery until she was 11 or 12 years old.

Who will control the future of AI?

That is the urgent question of our time. The rapid progress being made on artificial intelligence means that we face a strategic choice about what kind of world we are going to live in: Will it be one in which the United States and allied nations advance a global AI that spreads the technology’s benefits and opens access to it, or an authoritarian one, in which nations or movements that don’t share our values use AI to cement and expand their power?

Elon Musk on Monday threatened to ban Apple devices at his respective companies if the tech giant integrated OpenAI at the operating system level. 

Writing on X, the Tesla CEO called the prospect an "unacceptable security violation." 

Should he follow through with the ban, Musk said visitors would have to check their Apple devices "at the door, where they will be stored in a Faraday cage." 

A little over 12 hours ago, Apple announced that OpenAI’s ChatGPT would be integrated into its technology, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk wasted no time battening down the hatches against the rival technology.

Formerly the world’s richest man, Musk is developing his own artificial intelligence models at EV maker Tesla and startup xAI.

xAI has already released a large language model named Grok.

But not only is ChatGPT a competitor to Musk’s own offerings, the entrepreneur also has an acrimonious history with the Sam Altman-led company.

Elon Musk is beefing with Apple — again.

Apple announced at its Worldwide Developer's Conference on Monday that it will be integrating its new AI software, called Apple Intelligence, across the iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

It also separately announced a partnership with OpenAI, which includes the option to integrate ChatGPT powered by GPT-4o across some of its software, including its new and improved Siri. Apple said the ChatGPT integration will be available for free without an account in iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia later this year.

A group of OpenAI insiders is blowing the whistle on what they say is a culture of recklessness and secrecy at the San Francisco artificial intelligence company, which is racing to build the most powerful A.I. systems ever created.

The group, which includes nine current and former OpenAI employees, has rallied in recent days around shared concerns that the company has not done enough to prevent its A.I. systems from becoming dangerous.

OpenAI on Tuesday said it created a safety and security committee led by senior executives, after disbanding its previous oversight board in mid-May.

The new committee will be responsible for recommending to OpenAI’s board “critical safety and security decisions for OpenAI projects and operations,” the company said.

News of the new committee comes as the developer of the ChatGPT virtual assistant announced that it has begun training its “next frontier model.”

On Friday, Vox reported that employees at tech giant OpenAI who wanted to leave the company were confronted with expansive and highly restrictive exit documents. If they refused to sign in relatively short order, they were reportedly threatened with the loss of their vested equity in the company — a severe provision that's fairly uncommon in Silicon Valley. The policy had the effect of forcing ex-employees to choose between giving up what could be millions of dollars they had already earned or agreeing not to criticize the company, with no end date.
