Earlier this year, with a TikTok ban looming, Perplexity AI threw its hat into the increasingly crowded ring to take over the embattled social media company. Now, the maker of the AI search engine is outlining its vision for TikTok if its bid were to win out.

In a blog post, the company made a lengthy pitch for "rebuilding TikTok in America," an effort that would see the AI company rebuild the app’s signature algorithm, add Community Notes, and integrate the shortform videos into its search engine.

Of the many potential buyers, it’s not clear how seriously Perplexity’s bid is being considered. On Friday, the Financial Times reported that ByteDance’s existing US investors are "exploring a deal alongside software giant Oracle" in an effort to "appease" President Donald Trump. The story also notes that ByteDance "strongly prefers" this arrangement.

• 🤖 Nvidia and Google DeepMind will help power Disney’s cute robots

• 🧰 AI Tools

Nvidia is collaborating with Disney Research and Google DeepMind to develop Newton, a physics engine to simulate robotic movements in real-world settings, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced at GTC 2025 on Tuesday.

Disney will be among the first to use Newton to power its next-generation entertainment robots, like the Star Wars-inspired BDX droids — one of which waddled onstage next to Huang during his Tuesday keynote. Nvidia plans to release an early, open source version of Newton later in 2025.

For years, Disney has pitched the idea of bringing these Star Wars-inspired robots to its parks around the world. There have been several controlled demos of the droids, most recently at SXSW 2025. Now — thanks in part to Newton, presumably — Disney feels the tech is ready and plans to showcase the robots at several theme park locations starting next year.

• 🩺 Artificial intelligence chatbots outperform human doctors in new Stanford study

• 🧰 AI Tools

There's been a lot of conversation and consternation about artificial intelligence and its role in our society. Can platforms like ChatGPT be trusted? For writing a customer service complaint or cover letter, certainly. But how about diagnosing what's ailing you or considering medical ethics? Can a chatbot be trusted to help make life-or-death decisions?

A pair of recent studies out of Stanford University, led by Dr. Jonathan H. Chen, suggests the answer might be "yes." In fact, AI defeated human doctors at both diagnosing illnesses and reasoning through tough decisions. Dr. Chen, faculty director for medical education in AI, appeared on ABC7 News at 3 p.m. on Thursday and spoke with ABC7 News anchor Kristen Sze about the implications of his stunning findings.

Anthropic’s CEO Dario Amodei is worried that spies, likely from China, are getting their hands on costly “algorithmic secrets” from the U.S.’s top AI companies – and he wants the U.S. government to step in.

Speaking at a Council on Foreign Relations event on Monday, Amodei said that China is known for its “large-scale industrial espionage” and that AI companies like Anthropic are almost certainly being targeted.

“Many of these algorithmic secrets, there are $100 million secrets that are a few lines of code,” he said. “And, you know, I’m sure that there are folks trying to steal them, and they may be succeeding.”

A federal judge in Northern California denied Elon Musk’s motion for an injunction that would have halted OpenAI’s planned transition into a for-profit company, Bloomberg reported.

Musk failed to provide enough evidence necessary for an injunction, U.S. District Court Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled Tuesday. However, Rogers said the court is prepared to hold an expedited trial solely based on the claim that OpenAI’s conversion plan is unlawful, noting that “irreparable harm is incurred when the public’s money is used to fund a non-profit’s conversion into a for-profit.”

OpenAI said on Friday that it had uncovered evidence that a Chinese security operation had built an artificial intelligence-powered surveillance tool to gather real-time reports about anti-Chinese posts on social media services in Western countries.

The company’s researchers said they had identified this new campaign, which they called Peer Review, because someone working on the tool used OpenAI’s technologies to debug some of the computer code that underpins it.

Ben Nimmo, a principal investigator for OpenAI, said this was the first time the company had uncovered an A.I.-powered surveillance tool of this kind. “Threat actors sometimes give us a glimpse of what they are doing in other parts of the internet because of the way they use our A.I. models,” Mr. Nimmo said.

As detailed in a pair of studies released by Meta last week, researchers used a state-of-the-art brain scanner and a deep learning AI model to interpret the neural signals of people while they typed, guessing what keys they were hitting with an accuracy high enough to allow them to reconstruct entire sentences.

"As we've seen time and again, deep neural networks can uncover remarkable insights when paired with robust data," Forest Neurotech founder Sumner Norma, who wasn't involved in the research, told MIT Technology Review of the work.

The last time Poornima Ramarao spoke to her son, a 26-year-old software engineer named Suchir Balaji, was on his birthday, Nov. 21. He was on a backpacking trip with a few friends on Catalina Island, right off the coast of Los Angeles. It was a quick call. Ramarao wanted to let him get back to celebrating with his friends. “I blessed him, but my blessing didn’t protect him,” Ramarao tells Fortune. He was later found to have died in his apartment from a gunshot wound to the head.

San Francisco medical examiners initially ruled Balaji’s death a suicide, although many questions persist for his parents—and for the wider public. That’s because Balaji was not just a software developer, but a former researcher at OpenAI who had gone to the New York Times a mere few months before to decry what he viewed as the AI’s company’s illegal copyright violations. At the time of his death, Balaji was prepared to testify as a witness at a landmark lawsuit brought by the newspaper against the artificial intelligence behemoth.

• ⛅️ Easy Cloud Partners & News

• 📰 AI News

• 🧰 AI Tools

Until recently, human-shaped robots (humanoids) were the stuff of science fiction movies, and we thought they would never go further. But what once seemed impossible is about to become a reality: in the next four years, the United States will launch 100,000 humanoid robots that will work in factories, warehouses and other sectors.

These robots, designed by the company Figure AI, will be able to perform physical tasks, understand spoken commands and even interact with humans naturally. They will not just be programmed machines, but will have artificial intelligence and will be able to learn and adapt to their environment. Are we ready to share our workday with robots?

This company, Figure AI, led by Brett Adcock, has already closed agreements with large companies to deploy its robots in the industry.

Artificial intelligence is rewriting the rules of the workforce, and according to Bill Gates, this is just the beginning. The Microsoft co-founder believes AI will eliminate most jobs and radically transform the global economy. But here’s the good news—three professions seem immune to this technological shake-up… at least for now.

AI could reduce the workweek to three days. Imagine a world where you only work three days a week. Sounds like a dream, right? According to Gates, this could become reality as AI automates a massive chunk of today’s jobs. The 40-hour workweek? It could soon be history.

But not everyone will benefit. As AI takes over routine tasks, millions of jobs could disappear. The challenge will be adapting before it’s too late.

At the AI Action Summit in Paris this week, the U.S. declined to sign the statement summarizing the resolutions. But it did make an appearance: Vice President JD Vance gave a speech to the audience of dignitaries, tech leaders, and regulators.

Amid a conference heavy on equitable AI development — specifically, beyond the outsized influence of U.S. companies — and exploring where government fits into the mix, Vance painted a picture of how the Trump administration sees things: The U.S. is dominant, it intends to stay there, and regulation be damned if it gets in the way.

According to a report published Tuesday by The Information, Apple is partnering with Alibaba to bring its Apple Intelligence platform to China. The deal is said to arrive after the iPhone maker reportedly explored — but ultimately rejected — a potential partnership with uber-buzzy AI startup DeepSeek, as well as with ByteDance.

Apple initially selected Baidu as its partner in bringing Apple Intelligence to its customers in China, but issues adapting the Chinese search giant’s models were apparently too great to overcome.

What's in this week's issue?

• 🤑 Elon Musk-led team submits $97.4B bid for OpenAI

• ☣️ DeepSeek AI accused of generating instructions for bioweapons, experts warn

• 🧰 AI Tools

A team of investors led by Elon Musk submitted a $97.6 billion bid to purchase OpenAI on Monday. The news comes by way of Musk’s lawyer, Marc Toberoff, who confirmed the reporting with The Wall Street Journal.

The unsolicited bid is the latest escalation by Musk in his war with co-founder Sam Altman, with whom he co-founded OpenAI with numerous other individuals back in 2015. Musk is already embroiled in a legal dispute with OpenAI, filing a 2024 injunction against its effort to transition away from its nonprofit status. The Musk-led team is positioning the move as a bid to refocus OpenAI on open sourced AI, as was its initial aim.

DeepSeek, the China-based AI model that has made waves in the past few weeks, has been accused of generating rare information about bioweapons. The Wall Street Journal reported that the app is able to produce potentially hazardous materials, unlike some of its counterparts.

Testing done by Journal experts found that DeepSeek provided instructions for a bioweapon attack, and could also craft a phishing email with a malware code. Using a jailbreak, AI safety experts discovered that it could also generate instructions to modify bird flu, as well as create a social media campaign about self-harm among teens. Some online analysts claimed that they were able to jailbreak DeepSeek into generating recipes for Quaaludes and methamphetamines.

Bill Gates joined Jimmy Fallon on his late-night show to talk up his new memoir. The Microsoft magnate spoke to Fallon about the future of artificial intelligence, with Fallon asking for it in “layman’s terms for someone like me”.

Gates envisions a future where he sees humans eliminated from certain roles and not needed for “most things”. This will be due to AI reaching the same state as computing, in that it’ll become free. As Gates describes it, it’ll become “commonplace”.

Examples the billionaire gives are things along the lines of tutoring and advice, something that’s already been adopted by students and plenty of businesses. He also stated that he believes that it’ll solve problems like not having “enough doctors”, or “mental health professionals.”

• 🇺🇸 Musk ally ‘pushes AI-first strategy,’ as federal job faces potential cuts under Trump’s DOGE

• 🎒 California bill would make AI companies remind kids that chatbots aren’t people

• ⛅️ Easy Cloud Partners & News

• 📰 AI News

• 🧰 AI Tools

An ally of Elon Musk and the newly appointed director of Technology Transformation Services has reportedly informed General Services Administration (GSA) employees that the agency’s new administrator is focusing on an “AI-first strategy.”

Musk, who runs a slew of tech companies like SpaceX, Tesla, X, and xAI, has been given the job of cutting federal spending in a big way through something called the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) by the Trump administration.

In just the first two weeks, the group has shaken up federal agencies, pushing for major cost cuts and even encouraging workers to resign to trim expenses. A US senator claimed that DOGE’s access to government systems was even a “national security risk.”

A new bill proposed in California (SB 243) would require AI companies to periodically remind kids that a chatbot is an AI and not human. The bill, proposed by California Senator Steve Padilla, is meant to protect children from the “addictive, isolating, and influential aspects” of AI.

In addition to limiting companies from using “addictive engagement patterns,” the bill would require AI companies to provide annual reports to the State Department of Health Care Services outlining how many times it detected suicidal ideation by kids using the platform, as well as the number of times a chatbot brought up the topic.

Last year, a parent filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Character.AI, alleging its custom AI chatbots are “unreasonably dangerous” after her teen, who continuously chatted with the bots, died by suicide.

• 👨‍⚖️ Microsoft and OpenAI probe alleged data theft by China’s DeepSeek

• 🇪🇺 AI systems with ‘unacceptable risk’ are now banned in the EU

• ⛅️ Easy Cloud Partners & News

• 📰 AI News

• 🧰 AI Tools

Microsoft and OpenAI are investigating a potential breach of the AI firm’s system by a group allegedly linked to Chinese AI startup DeepSeek. According to Bloomberg, the investigation stems from suspicious data extraction activity detected in late 2024 via OpenAI’s application programming interface (API), sparking broader concerns over international AI competition.

Microsoft, OpenAI’s largest financial backer, first identified the large-scale data extraction and informed the ChatGPT maker of the incident. Sources believe the activity may have violated OpenAI’s terms of service, or that the group may have exploited loopholes to bypass restrictions limiting how much data they could collect.

As of Sunday in the European Union, the bloc’s regulators can ban the use of AI systems they deem to pose “unacceptable risk” or harm.

February 2 is the first compliance deadline for the EU’s AI Act, the comprehensive AI regulatory framework that the European Parliament finally approved last March after years of development.

The act officially went into force August 1; what’s now following is the first of the compliance deadlines. The specifics are set out in Article 5, but broadly, the Act is designed to cover a myriad of use cases where AI might appear and interact with individuals, from consumer applications through to physical environments.

• 🇨🇳 ‘Hundreds’ of companies are blocking DeepSeek over China data risks

• 🪖 OpenAI will offer its tech to US national labs for nuclear weapons research

• 📰 AI News

• 🧰 AI Tools

DeepSeek took the U.S. by storm this week: the Chinese company’s chatbot rose to the top of the Apple and Play stores, while major U.S. cloud providers like Microsoft began offering it on their platforms.

But “hundreds” of companies – especially ones with ties to government – have blocked the service, Bloomberg reported based on interviews with executives from cybersecurity firms Armis and Netskope. “The biggest concern is the AI model’s potential data leakage to the Chinese government,” Armis’ CTO Nadir Izrael said.

OpenAI says it plans to let U.S. National Laboratories, the Department of Energy’s network of R&D labs, use its AI models for nuclear weapons security and other scientific projects.

Per CNBC, OpenAI will work with Microsoft, its lead investor, to deploy a model on the supercomputer at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The model will be a shared resource for scientists from Los Alamos, Lawrence Livermore, and Sandia National Labs, OpenAI says. It will be applied across a number of research programs.

• 🎖️ US Navy ‘bans DeepSeek AI use over security concerns’ while citing risks

What is Captcha the Robot? The first to teach a class in a high school. The company that created Captcha has dubbed it a “social robot” that “sells for you, teaches with you, understands you.”

A high school in Germany has become the first to host a humanoid robot as a teacher, with Captcha the Robot carrying out a day of lectures and debates. It was just ahead of Christmas, on December 17, when Captcha the Robot officially took over a class for the first time in Delmenhorst in Germany.

The robot started the day by conducting an interactive lecture called ‘The difference between how AI thinks and how humans think,’ which involved the humanoid asking the students numerous questions to ensure they understood.

The US Navy has reportedly banned its sailors from using technology from the Chinese AI company DeepSeek due to security concerns.

According to CNBC, personnel were sent an email on Friday (Jan. 24), warning them about using the OpenAI competitor “in any capacity” due to “potential security and ethical concerns associated with the model’s origin and usage.”

DeepSeek and other Chinese-based apps continue to be seen as a threat. In 2024, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence stated that China “remains the most active and persistent cyber threat to US Government, private sector, and critical infrastructure networks.”

• 🆔 Sam Altman’s World now wants to link AI agents to your digital identity

• 🖥️ Neuromorphic semiconductor chip that learns and corrects itself

• ⛅️ Easy Cloud News

• 📰 AI News

• 🧰 AI Tools

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman took the technology world by surprise on Thursday with the release of Operator, his company’s first AI agent that can act autonomously on the web.

But OpenAI is not Altman’s only venture that’s trying to capitalize on the popularity of AI agents.

Altman’s World project now wants to create tools that link certain AI agents to people’s online personas, letting other users verify that an agent is acting on a person’s behalf, according to its chief product officer, Tiago Sada.

KAIST (President Kwang Hyung Lee) announced on the 17th of January that the joint research team of Professor Shinhyun Choi and Professor Young-Gyu Yoon of the School of Electrical Engineering has developed a next-generation neuromorphic semiconductor-based ultra-small computing chip that can learn and correct errors on its own.

What is special about this computing chip is that it can learn and correct errors that occur due to non-ideal characteristics that were difficult to solve in existing neuromorphic devices. For example, when processing a video stream, the chip learns to automatically separate a moving object from the background, and it becomes better at this task over time.
