David Sacks, the venture capitalist and tech billionaire who'd become Silicon Valley's primary advocate inside the White House and a key architect of its aggressive AI policy initiatives, revealed on Thursday that he was no longer a special government employee - and therefore no longer President Donald Trump's Special Advisor on AI and Crypto. Sacks' official status as an SGE allowed him to work simultaneously in the private sector and for the government, but for no more than 130 days, raisin...

The site, whose policies are subject to change, has struggled with the issue of AI-generated writing.
After Anthropic updated its tool for copying another AI's memory into Claude earlier this month, Google Gemini is rolling out new "Import Memory" and "Import Chat History" features on desktop that can help users quickly copy over everything their current AI already knows about them. To use the "Import Memory" tool, users copy and paste a suggested prompt from Gemini into their previous AI, then paste the output from the previous AI into Gemini, which should get Gemini caught up on their pref...

Siri currently has an integration with OpenAI’s ChatGPT. | Photo: Allison Johnson / The Verge Apple's iOS 27 update will allow users to choose the AI chatbot they want to link with Siri. That's according to a report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who says third-party chatbots downloaded from the App Store, like Google's Gemini or Anthropic's Claude, will be able to fetch replies for Siri - similar to how the voice assistant already works with OpenAI's ChatGPT. The new system, reportedly call...

Apple Music: "What do you want to hear?" Me: "Atmospheric instrumental black metal to write to." Apple Music: "Here's three metal songs with vocals, a field recording, an ambient electronic track, and a piece of doom jazz." I am skeptical of AI's ability to serve up the music I want to begin with, but even I was caught slightly off guard by how underwhelming Apple's new Playlist Playground beta is. YouTube Music's AI playlist generator is far from perfect, but when I gave it the same prompt ...

Wikipedia will no longer allow editors to write or rewrite articles using AI. The update, which was added to Wikipedia's guidelines late last week, cites the tendency for AI-written articles to violate "several of Wikipedia's core content policies" as the reason for the ban. The change applies to the English version of Wikipedia and will still allow editors to use AI in certain scenarios. That includes using large language models to "suggest basic copyedits" to their writing, but only if it "...

They're urging the agency to "establish a mandatory annual reporting requirement for data centers," saying the data is "essential for accurate grid planning,"...
