  4. In today's episode of The AI Briefing, we dig into the world of video games, where SAG-AFTRA has initiated a strike to demand better protections against the misuse of AI, fearing it could replace human performers. This strike could significantly delay upcoming game releases, affecting the industry's peak holiday season sales.

    Next, we turn to OpenAI, which has flagged potential emotional risks associated with its new ChatGPT voice mode. The company is concerned that the lifelike voice could lead users to form emotional attachments, a phenomenon observed during initial tests. OpenAI is actively exploring measures to understand and mitigate these emotional dependencies.

    Finally, we cover Anthropic's new initiative to secure its next-generation AI model. Anthropic is offering a $15,000 bounty for identifying security flaws in their unreleased AI system. This preemptive strike underscores Anthropic's dedication to ensuring robust security in their AI technologies.
