Makers of generative artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT have been using copious amounts of copyrighted news material to train their chatbots, according to new accusations from a new trade group.

One evening back in 2013, Daniel Wiegand, then an aerospace engineering graduate student at the Technical University of Munich, was wandering the internet when a V-22 Osprey video caught his eye. The combat aircraft combined the vertical lift of a helicopter with the speed and range of an airplane. The eruption of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft startups had yet to happen, and Wiegand’s mind began racing.

Eighty years ago, at Bletchley Park, a country house 50 miles outside of central London, mathematician Alan Turing and a team of experts cracked the Enigma code, the German secret cryptogram for transmissions in World War II. Next week, the U.K. government will attempt to ride on the coattails of that success—and show it’s a key player in a technology that Turing was inexorably tied up with: artificial intelligence.
Bletchley Park will be home to this week’s AI
Sam Bankman-Fried finished his direct testimony in his federal fraud case on Monday on reasonably strong footing, maintaining that he didn’t know about much of what was going on at FTX and Alameda Research, his crypto exchange and trading firm, until their implosion in November 2022.

President Joe Biden on Monday will sign a sweeping executive order to guide the development of artificial intelligence—requiring industry to develop safety and security standards, introducing new consumer protections and giving federal agencies an extensive to-do list to oversee the rapidly progressing technology.

To hear Kian Sadeghi tell it, his genetic testing company just might upend healthcare. The 23-year-old college dropout began working on Nucleus in 2020, from his bedroom in his parents’ Brooklyn home. From a swab of genetic material, he says, his company can glean insights into which drugs a person should be prescribed, which diet will best help them lose weight, how concerned they should be about getting Alzheimer’s, and many other health considerations.
Sadeghi has r
