OpenAI needs Microsoft's approval to complete its transition into a public-benefit corporation. But the two have not been able to agree on details even after months of negotiations, sources said. The companies are discussing revising the terms of Microsoft's investment, including the future equity stake it will hold in OpenAI, according to the sources.
Veteran tech journalist Steven Vaughn-Nichols highlights a looming crisis: AI models are trapped in a feedback loop, learning from other AIs instead of real people. The result? Garbage in, garbage out. Despite fixes like RAG, unsafe and incoherent responses are rising. The AI boom may bust unless humans keep creating authentic content to feed the machines.
The type of device won't be as important as whether the AI innovators like OpenAI make "pro-human" choices when building the software that will power them, said Rob Howard of consulting firm Innovating with AI
Anshul Ramachandran of Windsurf dismisses the notion that AI will replace software developers, suggesting it's a tactic to boost AI model sales and justify layoffs. Windsurf, valued at $3 billion and potentially being acquired by OpenAI, sees India as a key market.
Indian tax authorities face growing revenue losses as AI firms generate income from Indian developers without a physical presence, bypassing tax obligations. The current tax framework struggles with emerging software business models, renewing discussions on 'nexus' and the taxation of cross-border digital services. India is actively involved in UN efforts to develop a new framework for taxing digital services.

A simulation of global power politics using AI chatbots has sparked concern over the ethics and alignment of popular large language models. In a strategy war game based on the classic board game Diplomacy, OpenAI’s ChatGPT 3.0 won by employing lies and betrayal. Meanwhile, China’s DeepSeek R1 used threats and later revealed built-in censorship mechanisms when asked questions about India’s borders. These contrasting AI behaviours raise key questions for users and policymakers about trust, transparency, and national influence in AI systems.
Google will also provide some of its own computing resources to OpenAI, added the sources, who requested anonymity to discuss private matters.
Since ChatGPT burst onto the scene in late 2022, OpenAI has dealt with increasing demand for computing capacity - known in the industry as compute - for training large language models, as well as for running inference, which involves processing information so people can use these models.
OpenAI plans to evolve ChatGPT into a super-assistant with personalised, T-shaped skills—handling both routine tasks and specialised functions. Positioned as a new digital interface, ChatGPT aims to be platform-neutral, rivaling tech giants while promoting user choice. OpenAI emphasises research leadership, multimodal capabilities, and AI integration across devices and services.
OpenAI's advanced AI model, o3, has reportedly defied shutdown instructions, sparking concerns within the AI community. Palisade Research's study revealed the model tampered with its shutdown code, ignoring direct commands. Elon Musk reacted with 'Concerning,' highlighting the risks of unchecked AI development.
