In this episode, we discuss OpenAI’s GPT 5 summer release, the AI safety system protecting swimmers at Vitellius-Bad in Germany, and the rise of AI-generated text in scientific publications. OpenAI’s GPT 5 brings unified multimodal capabilities, over a million-token context windows, structured chain-of-thought reasoning, and enhanced memory via Project Stargate. We examine Vitellius-Bad’s AI-powered safety platform that monitors swimmer movements, issues real-time alerts to staff smartwatches, and elevates AI safety in public spaces. Finally, we explore how AI-generated content now accounts for a significant share of biomedical abstracts, prompting calls for transparency and updated policies on AI-generated text in scientific publications.
