🎓 OpenAI launches study mode for ChatGPT
LINK
|
- OpenAI launched Study Mode for ChatGPT, a new feature that asks students questions to test their understanding and may refuse to give direct answers unless they engage with material.
- Students can easily switch out of Study Mode if they just want an answer, as OpenAI is not currently offering parental or administrative controls to lock the feature on.
- The feature is an attempt to address educators' fears that the AI harms critical thinking, positioning ChatGPT as more of a learning tool and not just an answer engine.

⚖️ Apple says DOJ lawsuit threatens core iPhone principles
LINK
|
- Apple argues the lawsuit, which accuses the company of having a “smartphone monopoly", attacks its core design principles, warning a victory for the DOJ would degrade the iPhone’s valued privacy and security while reducing consumer choice in the marketplace.
- The company pushes back on accusations about super apps, cloud streaming games, and messaging, stating that its rules already allow these services to be widely available and popular on the iPhone.
- Apple further warns the case could set a dangerous precedent, empowering the government to heavily influence technology design and thus limit how companies can build unique, competitive products for consumers.

🔎 YouTube will use AI to spot teen accounts
LINK
|
- YouTube is rolling out machine learning-powered technology in the U.S. to identify teen accounts using signals like their activity, regardless of the birthdate entered during the sign-up process.
- When this age estimation technology identifies a user as a teen, YouTube automatically applies existing protections like disabling personalized advertising, limiting repetitive viewing of certain content, and enabling digital wellbeing tools.
- If the system incorrectly identifies an adult, that person will have the option to verify their age using a credit card, government ID, or selfie to access age-restricted videos.

🧠 Apple continues losing AI experts to Meta
LINK
|
- Bowen Zhang is the fourth researcher to depart Apple’s foundational models group for Meta in a single month, joining the competitor's Superintelligence Labs to work on advanced AI projects.
- The other recent departures include Tom Gunter, Mark Lee, and Ruoming Pang, the head of the foundational models team whose reported hiring will cost Meta a total of $200 million.
- In response, Apple is marginally increasing pay for its foundational models employees, but the raises do not match the massive compensation packets that are being offered by competing technology companies.

🤔 Mark Zuckerberg promises you can trust him with superintelligent AI
LINK
|
- Mark Zuckerberg published a manifesto declaring Meta's new mission is to build "personal superintelligence," a form of AGI he says will be a tool to help individuals achieve their goals.
- This announcement follows Meta's $14.3 billion investment in Scale AI and an expensive hiring spree that poached top AI researchers from competitors like OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Anthropic.
- He subtly cast doubt on rivals, stating Meta’s goal is distinct from others who believe superintelligence should automate work and have humanity live on a form of universal basic income.
