Many companies and individuals are using and developing AI technology in new ways, but there are concerns about its potential misuse. The owner of the Los Angeles Times wants to implement an AI-powered "bias meter" to show readers different perspectives on news stories, but the newsroom staff pushed back, arguing that they already follow strict ethics guidelines. Some people are using AI chatbots like ChatGPT and dedicated AI gift generators to help them find Christmas presents, finding it saves them time and offers good suggestions. However, others have found the suggestions to be generic and not personalized enough. There are also concerns about AI being used in healthcare to deny Medicare Advantage claims, with a lawsuit alleging that UnitedHealthcare is using a flawed AI model to wrongfully deny patients care. On a lighter note, singer Mariah Carey had to assure fans that her Spotify Wrapped video was really her and not created using AI. OpenAI is working on making its powerful AI models more accessible, offering a pro version of ChatGPT for a hefty price and launching a research program for developers to create specialized AI models. However, some experts question the value of these expensive models. Meanwhile, a U.S. appeals court upheld the ban of TikTok, citing national security concerns about its Chinese ownership. The ban highlights the ongoing geopolitical tensions surrounding technology and data control. Meta is also working on its own AI models, releasing a new, more efficient Llama model and investing heavily in computing infrastructure. X, formerly Twitter, made its Grok AI chatbot available to all users, potentially increasing competition in the chatbot market. Finally, OpenAI is considering removing a clause that would restrict Microsoft's access to its most advanced AI models in the future, possibly to attract more investment.
