As one VC partner told Business Insider at the time: "Sam is bigger than Taylor Swift." But the bigger you are, the faster the fall, and a few months later, things began to unravel. Others simply said Altman was overhyped, that he didn't have all the answers that the public and investors seemed to expect of him. Thanks to good old-fashioned capitalism, Altman and OpenAI have enjoyed business win after win and held their positions as the leaders in the aggressive AI race. "I thought Sam Altman did a really good job in the special," she told The Washington Post in a discussion about her TV program on artificial intelligence.

London CNN —OpenAI has unveiled a new artificial intelligence model that it says can “reason” and solve harder problems in science, coding and math than its predecessors. The model, the first in a series called OpenAI o1, was released Thursday as a preview, with the firm saying it expects regular updates and improvements. “We trained these models to spend more time thinking through problems before they respond, much like a person would,” the maker of ChatGPT said on its website. The new OpenAI model doesn’t yet have many of the features “that make ChatGPT useful,” the firm said, like browsing the web for information, and uploading files and images. In tests, OpenAI o1 performs similarly to PhD students on difficult benchmark tasks in physics, chemistry and biology, according to the company.

For the past year, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has been trying to convince the world that he can be trusted to lead the people to the next frontier of artificial intelligence. In it, she speaks to key figures of the tech industry, including Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates, about the impacts of AI. AdvertisementThroughout the interview, Altman could be seen listening intently to Winfrey's simple but direct line of questioning. One of the points Winfrey pressed Altman on was that of public trust. Winfrey also asked Altman how he feels about being billed "the most powerful and perhaps most dangerous man on the planet."

And when that happens, he’s got another project, Worldcoin, in the works to help fix it. To do that, it’s using its proprietary, basketball-ball sized “orbs” that scan people’s eyeballs and create a unique, immutable code based on the pattern of their irises. So I sat down (virtually) with Worldcoin’s co-founder and CEO, 30-year-old Alex Blania, to discuss the project’s origins and future. CNN: A lot of Worldcoin’s focus is future-focused — targeting problems that are hard for us to imagine today. Blania: I think there’s two pieces to that.

The WGA won higher pay and residuals for its writers, provisions for minimum staff in television writers' rooms, and more, calling the agreement "exceptional." Advertisement"The conglomerates have the leverage," one TV agent put it. This model could lead to a show getting picked up, but it tended to use fewer writers than regular writers' rooms and pay them less. A third agent said some showrunners are grumbling that while mini-room writers' pay increased post-strike, studios kept the showrunners' pay the same. Marshall, an "Elsbeth" writer and WGA West board member, has been in three writers' rooms since the WGA contract took effect.

Saudi Arabia is optimistic about gaining access to U.S. chipmaker Nvidia's high-performance chips, which would enable it to develop and operate the most advanced artificial intelligence models. It's a significant expectation given that the United States' strict export controls have thus far prevented the chips' export to the kingdom. Habib made the comments on the sidelines of GAIN, Saudi Arabia's international AI summit, which took place in Riyadh this week. It "will mean a lot" for Saudi Arabia to have access to the chips, Habib said — in this case, the Nvidia H200s, the firm's most powerful chips, which are used in OpenAI's GPT-4o. We worked hard in the past three years in building capacity, in human capacity, we also build data capacity as well.

Meta is teaming up with Snapchat and TikTok as part of a new initiative to prevent content featuring suicide or self-harm from spreading across the social media platforms, Meta said Thursday in a blog post. Under Thrive, Meta will identify content that features suicidal themes or self-harm and flag that content to TikTok and Snapchat so they can also investigate if the same or similar content has been posted to those apps. When content featuring suicide or self-harm is identified on a Meta platform, it will be assigned a number known as a “hash,” according to the spokesperson. Social media platforms, including Meta, TikTok and Snapchat, have long been criticized for not doing more to moderate content that teens consume, including video and images of self-harm. In its blog post Thursday, Meta said that it removed 12 million pieces of content featuring suicide and self-harm from Facebook and Instagram from April to June.

While users in the European Union can opt out of having their data used to train Meta's AI models, such an option doesn't exist in the US or Australia. The section on generative AI from Meta's privacy center says, "We use public posts and comments on Facebook and Instagram to train generative AI models for these features and for the open-source community. Meta says setting your audience to something besides "public" will keep your data from being used to train its AI models. Likewise, Meta says it may use your interactions with AI features, such as "messages to AI chats, questions you ask and images you ask Meta AI to imagine for you." AI competitors like Google and OpenAI have already made deals with many news publishers for training data.

Here's a rapid-fire update on all 32 stocks in Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust, the portfolio we use for the CNBC Investing Club. AMD shares have caught a bid in recent days, but they're still cheap considering the growth of its AI processors. Broadcom : Investors who don't own any Broadcom yet should consider starting a position here, Jim said. Although it's tempting to offload shares, Jim said to stick with Honeywell for now because there's huge value in individual businesses like aerospace. There's little negative to say about this portfolio stock.

Read previewScientific papers suspected of using artificial intelligence are appearing in Google Scholar, one of the most popular academic search engines. "They are often created with widely available, general-purpose AI applications, most likely ChatGPT, and mimic scientific writing," the study said. NurPhoto/Getty ImagesResearchers gathered data by analyzing a sample of scientific papers pulled from Google Scholar that showed signs of GPT use. Many of the research papers involved controversial topics like health, computing, and the environment, which are "susceptible to disinformation," according to the study. The study also identified two main risks from the "increasingly common" decision to use GPT to create "fake, scientific papers."

Generative AI includes applications like OpenAI's ChatGPT, which has the ability to generate text, images and even video based on user prompts. These applications are powered by large AI models which are trained on huge amounts of data, such as Google's Gemini. Chinese technology firms have had to tread carefully in releasing their technology as Beijing has strict requirements for AI models and their uses. CNBC runs through the big Chinese AI models developed by the country's biggest tech firms. It has created a number of AI models aimed at customers in specific industries including government, finance, manufacturing, mining, and meteorology.

The AI boom is still in its infancy, following the path of the internet in the 1990s, BofA said. AI's impact will be felt sooner than past tech booms, the bank says. Skepticism about AI has mounted recently as investors get impatient to see AI returns. "Skeptics declare that GenAI's revenue potential doesn't justify the current level of AI infrastructure investment," the report says. On Tuesday, Morgan Stanley chief US equity strategist Mike Wilson said the AI investment theme has been "overcooked," and suggested investors should retreat into defensive stocks.

The new model can work through complex tasks and, in comparison to previous models, solve more difficult problems in science, coding, and math. AdvertisementFor example, it beat GPT-4o — a multimodal model OpenAI unveiled in May — in the qualifying exam for the International Mathematics Olympiad by a long shot. Over the summer, while o1 was still in development, the company unveiled a new five-level classification system for tracking its progress toward that goal. But when Mollick asked o1 to solve a crossword puzzle, it thought about it for a "full 108 seconds" before responding. AdvertisementSince OpenAI unveiled GPT-4 last year, it's been releasing successive iterations in its quest to invent AGI.
