Which secret JFK Files can US make public? Trump's intelligence chief asked AI to answer
US intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard has revealed that she relied on artificial intelligence (AI) to decide which documents related to the assassination of former President John F Kennedy should be made public and which files should continue to remain classified. read more
Tulsi Gabbard might be the US intelligence chief, but it is artificial intelligence (AI) applications that appear to be calling shots.
Gabbard on Tuesday said that she relied on AI to tell her which documents in the 'JFK files' should remain classified and which should be made public.
In March, the Donald Trump administration released over 2,200 files running into more than 63,000 pages related to the assassination of former President John F Kennedy, who was shot dead on November 22, 1963, during a roadshow in Dallas, Texas.

Speaking at the Amazon Web Services (AWS) conference, Gabbard said that she fed all the documents related to Kennedy's assassination, referred to as JFK files, to assess which documents to make public.
'A couple of examples of the application of AI and machine learning that we've already used in this Director's Initiative Group has been around declassification. We have released thousands, tens of thousands of documents related to the assassinations of JFK and Senator Robert F Kennedy, and we have been able to do that through the use of AI tools far more quickly than what was done previously,' said Gabbard.
Gabbard's admission has come at a time when risks related to artificial intelligence (AI) and vulnerabilities related to technology are under increased scanner.
Companies owning chatbots or other AI applications, such as OpenAI or DeepSeek, can retain data and files that users feed. If Gabbard has fed data into a private chatbot, all those government secrets are now set to be stored in the chatbot's server or backend.
Such irresponsible usage of technology would not be the first in the Trump administration. Earlier this year, it emerged that top officials, including Vice President JD Vance, Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, and then-National Security Advisor (NSA) Mike Waltz, were discussing top-secret operational plans on messaging application Signal. Even though Trump defended the usage and everyone denied any wrongdoing, Trump later sacked Waltz as NSA.

Gabbard further said that the Director's Initiatives Group (DIG), her pet project, is using AI to process open-source information.
Gabbard said, 'Ten thousand hours of media content, for example, that normally would take eight people 48 hours to comb through, now takes one person one hour through the use of some of the AI tools that we have here. So, those are a few of many examples that this Director's Initiative Group is focused on. Again, not only for ODNI [Office of the Director of National Intelligence], but really for us to be able to provide these efficiencies and these tools across the entire enterprise.'
Gabbard further said that there is now a dedicated chatbot for the US intelligence community that comprises 18 agencies like the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), National Security Agency (NSA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), etc.

OpenAI in talks to raise fresh funds from Saudi Arabia's PIF, India's Reliance Industries: The Information
OpenAI has held discussions with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), Reliance Industries, and UAE's MGX to participate in its ongoing $40 billion fundraising, US tech publication The Information reported. ADVERTISEMENT The talks are part of the second instalment of the fundraise, where OpenAI is looking to raise about $30 billion by December, potentially valuing the company at around $260 billion before the new investment, the report said. Japan's SoftBank, which is leading the round, has already been actively buying shares from employees. Between March and May, it purchased around $240 million worth of shares from a small group of current and former staffers, the report said. Last year, ahead of its mega round, SoftBank had also acquired about $2 billion worth of new and existing shares. SoftBank is expected to contribute at least three-fourths of the $30 billion instalment, leaving about $7.5 billion to be raised from new investors, according to the report. The Japanese conglomerate may take loans or sell some of its public market holdings, including its shares in Arm Holdings, to fund the investment, the report has also discussed raising at least $100 million each from Coatue Management and Founders Fund as part of the ongoing fundraise, the report said, while talks with PIF and other prospective investors are still at an early stage.A direct investment by Saudi Arabia's PIF, which manages over $900 billion in assets, would mark a shift from its earlier exposure to US tech firms through venture funds like Andreessen Horowitz and Iconiq Capital, The Information noted. ADVERTISEMENT CEO Sam Altman had earlier met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during a visit to Riyadh, which coincided with the kingdom's latest AI investment push, the report in India, OpenAI is exploring a product and sales partnership with Reliance, whose portfolio includes Jio, India's largest wireless carrier, and the world's biggest oil refinery. OpenAI wants Reliance businesses to distribute or sell its AI offerings in India, which is now its second-largest user market, Altman said in February, the report said. ADVERTISEMENT The scale of its capital needs is also rising sharply as ChatGPT's weekly active users exceed 500 million, up from 300 million in December. Between 2025 and 2027, OpenAI expects to spend about $35 billion on servers to support existing products, and another $55 billion on developing new models, the report of the round hinges on a pending corporate restructuring of its for-profit entity. While an earlier plan to convert it into a public benefit corporation was dropped, a revised restructuring still needs to be finalised by year-end. Failure to do so could see SoftBank cut its commitment and scale back the round to $20 billion, the report said. ADVERTISEMENT Separately, OpenAI, SoftBank, MGX and Oracle have partnered on Stargate, a $500 billion initiative to build global AI data centres, according to The Information.

Facebook-parent Meta ‘struggles' to keep AI staff despite big salaries, claims report
Facebook-parent Meta is facing a wave of exits from its artificial intelligence (AI) team, as top talent increasingly moves to rivals such as OpenAI and Anthropic, according to The SignalFire State of Talent Report – 2025, dated May 20. It says that despite offering salaries of over $2 million a year, Meta is losing skilled AI professionals, reflecting a broader challenge in Big Tech as demand for AI experts surges. The report highlights Anthropic as the leader in retention, holding on to 80% of its AI employees—outpacing peers like DeepMind (78%), OpenAI (67%), and Meta (64%). As per the report, Anthropic's success is credited to a culture that values independence and encourages open debate, appealing to those frustrated by corporate bureaucracy. It has also managed to hire top talent from tech giants like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Stripe—and Meta itself. Venture capitalist Deedy Das recently shared a post on social platform X stating that despite Meta's high compensation offers, he observed three top-level exits to competitors in just one week. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo 'Meta is currently offering $2M+/yr in offers for AI talent and still losing them to OpenAI and Anthropic. Heard ~3 such cases this week. The AI talent wars are absolutely ridiculous. Today, Anthropic has the highest ~80% retention 2 years in and is the #1 (large) company top AI researchers wants to go,' he wrote in the post. This comes at a time when Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is leading efforts to form a "superintelligence" team of about 50 experts to pursue artificial general intelligence (AGI). Meanwhile, Meta is also reportedly planning a $15 billion investment in Scale AI, a data-labelling company, to deepen its AI capabilities. In April, Joelle Pineau, Meta's VP of AI Research, stepped down—adding to concerns about Meta's ability to meet its AI goals, especially with a $65 billion infrastructure push planned for 2025.
