Elon Musk said on Monday his artificial intelligence startup xAI would take its ChatGPT challenger “Grok” open-source this week, days after he sued OpenAI for abandoning its original mission in favor of a for-profit model.
The billionaire has warned on several occasions against the use of technology for profit by big technology companies such as Google.
He filed the lawsuit earlier this month against Microsoft-backed OpenAI, which he cofounded in 2015 but lef

Bitcoin is getting a lot of attention lately, hitting new all-time highs as it crossed $72,000 on Monday. But another area of the crypto world is gaining ground nearly as fast. Artificial intelligence-related tokens, like all things AI, are red hot. In mid-February, the category had a market cap of just under $10 billion. As of midday Monday, that stood at just over $27 billion.

Sam Altman is rejoining the board of ChatGPT-maker OpenAI along with three new directors, as the startup tries to move past his sudden ouster in November that had shocked the tech industry.
Altman had returned as CEO of OpenAI just four days after his firing with a new board made up of Quora CEO Adam D’Angelo, former U.S. Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and former co-CEO of Salesforce Bret Taylor.
The board will now expand with the addition of Sue Desmond-Hellmann,

Novo Nordisk, the Danish drug maker whose fortunes have soared on the popularity of its GLP-1 agonist drugs, scored a long-sought label expansion for its weight-loss drug Wegovy on Friday, with FDA approving it to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events in adults who are obese or overweight and have established cardiovascular disease.

Six weeks before the first fatal U.S. accident involving Tesla’s Autopilot in 2016, the automaker’s president Jon McNeill tried it out in a Model X and emailed feedback to automated-driving chief Sterling Anderson, cc’ing Elon Musk.
The system performed perfectly, McNeill wrote, with the smoothness of a human driver.
“I got so comfortable under Autopilot, that I ended up blowing by exits because I was immersed in emails or calls (I know, I know,

Virginia high school teacher Joe Clement keeps track of the text messages parents have sent students sitting in his economics and government classes:— “What did you get on your test?”— “Did you get the field trip form signed?”— “Do you want chicken or hamburgers for dinner tonight?”Clement has a plea for parents: Stop texting your kids at school.Parents are distressingly aware of the distractions and the mental health issues assoc

The automotive industry is shifting gears, accelerating into the future as new technologies push the boundaries of efficiency, sustainability, and safety.
The next phase is already here—the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and big data within every facet of the industry. From the factory floor to the driving experience itself, AI and big data are fuelling safer, more efficient, and more intelligent vehicles, as well as better manufacturing and maintenance processes

You could argue that generative AI has had a pretty negative marketing campaign from its nascent introduction into the world order to where we are today. From heretic articles bemoaning the top jobs that will be replaced, to hastily arranged committees of the titans of tech defining our AI future, to the culture heralded CEO of AI (Sam Altman) being ousted and then re-ordained, to the Musk-ian battles for AI invasive supremacy, and to no doubt a year of election deepfakes.
