OnePlus rolls out ‘Plus Mind' AI for 13 and 13R 5G mobiles: Explained
How 'Plus Mind' Works
Plus Mind simplifies storing and searching through scattered data using OnePlus's AI technology. Users can activate the tool by swiping up with three fingers on their screen, which is the opposite of the usual three-finger swipe down used for screenshots. Once activated, Plus Mind scans the content and suggests useful actions, such as adding events to the calendar when it detects important dates.

The information saved by Plus Mind is available anytime through the Mind Space app or by using natural language queries in the AI Search bar, which appears by swiping down on the home screen. The AI understands the content, creates descriptions and tags, and can translate text into the user's preferred language.
OnePlus's AI Strategy and Features
OnePlus first introduced Plus Mind with the OnePlus 13 models in June. Now, it extends to the OnePlus 13 and 13R phones, which provide users with more control over their data.

Chatbot culture wars erupt as bias claims surge
For much of the last decade, America's partisan culture warriors have fought over the contested territory of social media — arguing about whether the rules on Facebook and Twitter were too strict or too lenient, whether YouTube and TikTok censored too much or too little and whether Silicon Valley tech companies were systematically silencing right-wing voices. Those battles aren't over. But a new one has already started. This fight is over artificial intelligence, and whether the outputs of leading AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini are politically biased. Conservatives have been taking aim at AI companies for months. In March, House Republicans subpoenaed a group of leading AI developers, probing them for information about whether they colluded with the Biden administration to suppress right-wing speech. And this month, Missouri's Republican attorney general, Andrew Bailey, opened an investigation into whether Google, Meta, Microsoft and OpenAI are leading a 'new wave of censorship' by training their AI systems to give biased responses to questions about President Trump. On Wednesday, Trump himself joined the fray, issuing an executive order on what he called 'woke AI'. 'Once and for all, we are getting rid of woke,' he said in a speech. Republicans have been complaining about AI bias since at least early last year, when a version of Google's Gemini AI system generated historically inaccurate images of the American founding fathers, depicting them as racially diverse. That incident drew the fury of online conservatives, and led to accusations that leading AI companies were training their models to parrot liberal ideology. Since then, top Republicans have mounted pressure campaigns to try to force AI companies to disclose more information about how their systems are built, and tweak their chatbots' outputs to reflect a broader set of political views. Now, with the White House's executive order, Trump and his allies are using the threat of taking away lucrative federal contracts — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and xAI were recently awarded Defense Department contracts worth as much as $200 million — to try to force AI companies to address their concerns. The order directs federal agencies to limit their use of AI systems to those that put a priority on 'truth-seeking' and 'ideological neutrality' over disfavoured concepts like diversity, equity and inclusion.

From OpenAI To Meta: All You Need To Know About Chief Scientist Shengjia Zhao
Shengjia Zhao, a former OpenAI researcher, has been appointed chief scientist of Meta 's newly launched Superintelligence Lab, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced last Friday. Mr Zhao, co-creator of ChatGPT and GPT-4, will work directly with Mr Zuckerberg and Meta's Chief AI Officer, Alexandr Wang, to steer the lab's scientific direction. He is also a co-founder of the lab, which aims to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI) and improve Meta's Llama models. Mark Zuckerberg said Meta was committed to building "full general intelligence" and releasing its research as open source. Who Is Shengjia Zhao? Shengjia Zhao earned his Bachelor's degree from Tsinghua University in 2016, as per his LinkedIn profile. He completed a semester exchange in Computer Science at Rice University and then pursued a PhD in Computer Science at Stanford University. Following his PhD, Mr Zhao joined OpenAI in June 2022 as a Member of Technical Staff, where he worked for over three years until July this year. During this time, he co-created ChatGPT, GPT-4, and several OpenAI mini models, including GPT-4.1 and o3. He has now been appointed as the Chief Scientist of Meta's Superintelligence Lab. Mr Zhao has received several prestigious awards. In 2015, he was awarded the Google Excellence Scholarship. Four years later, he received the Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship (QinF) for his contributions to research in AI while at Stanford. The same year, Mr Zhao was named a JP Morgan PhD Fellow. In October 2022, he was honoured with the ICLR 2022 Outstanding Paper Award, one of the top recognitions in the machine learning research community. Mr Zhao currently lives in San Francisco, California. He is fluent in English and Mandarin. Meta's Superintelligence Lab The Meta Superintelligence Lab (MSL) was launched by Meta to drive progress on its Llama models and pursue its broader goal of developing artificial general intelligence (AGI). According to Mark Zuckerberg, Shengjia Zhao is a co-founder of the lab. While Meta's original AI research is led by Yann LeCun under the FAIR division, MSL operates independently. Meta has poured billions into hiring top talent from rivals, including Google, OpenAI, Apple, and Anthropic. The company also acquired Scale AI for $14 billion, bringing its CEO, Alexandr Wang, on board as Meta's Chief AI Officer. Mr Zuckerberg has committed to investing hundreds of billions more in building vast AI data centres across the US.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman warns ChatGPT users' personal questions could be used in lawsuits
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has warned that while users often reveal the most personal details of their lives to ChatGPT, their interactions lack privacy protections and could potentially be produced for lawsuits or other legal reasons. During an episode of 'This Past Weekend' podcast with Theo Von, Altman noted that though interactions between patients and doctors or clients and lawyers are protected by privilege — meaning they cannot often be used against an individual in court — this is not the case for a person's interactions with ChatGPT. He emphasised that the policy framework for this protection is lacking, and that it needs to be urgently addressed. 'And right now, if you talk to a therapist or a lawyer or a doctor about those problems, there's legal privilege for it. Like, there's doctor-patient confidentiality, there's legal confidentiality, whatever. And, we haven't figured that out yet for when you talk to ChatGPT,' Altman said during the podcast, adding that OpenAI could be forced to produce such evidence even if he disagreed with the mandate. Altman observed that young people 'especially' used ChatGPT as a life coach or a therapist. He advocated for a human-AI chatbot privacy standard comparable to that existing between a patient and their therapist. OpenAI has in the past criticised the New York Times, claiming that as part of its lawsuit against the AI startup, the media company 'asked the court to force us to retain all user content indefinitely going forward..'
