Gen Z are the ‘Luckiest' kids in History, said Sam Altman
With the integration of Artificial Intelligence in our jobs, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has remarked that with the present and the future generation coming into the workforce, they are very fortunate to be able to adapt and integrate AI in their learning. The older generation is still reluctant to adapt to AI or is unable to learn as quickly as the newer generation.In his interview with Cleo Abram on the Huge If True podcast, Altman expressed that 'This always happens. And young people are the best at adapting to this. I'm more worried about what it means, not for the 22-year-old, but for the 62-year-old that doesn't want to go retrain or reskill or whatever the politicians call it.'While the OpenAI CEO had a positive view on the adoption of AI in the workforce , the Godfather of AI, Dr. Geoffrey Hinton , warned people that with the growing trajectory of artificial intelligence. Reported to Business Insider , he warned everyone about the future of AI. He also remarked that an AI system may develop its own internal language that humans cannot understand. This is particularly relevant to the students who are about to join the workforce presently.These comments are not designed to induce fear in people but to inspire people to take responsibility and caution while using AI. For students, this is an eye-opener to study harder and improve their skill set to build a career as not just a tech person who understands AI, but a professional who can contribute as a communicator and understand the depth of artificial intelligence.

Elon Musk's bid to dismiss OpenAI's harassment claims denied in court
A U.S. federal judge on Tuesday denied Elon Musk's bid to dismiss OpenAI's claims of a "years-long harassment campaign" by the Tesla CEO against the company he co-founded in 2015 and later abandoned before ChatGPT became a global phenomenon. In the latest turn in a court battle that kicked off last year, U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled that Musk must face OpenAI's claims that the billionaire, through press statements, social media posts, legal claims and "a sham bid for OpenAI's assets" had attempted to harm the AI startup. Musk sued OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman last year over the company's transition to a for-profit model, accusing the company of straying from its founding mission of developing AI for the good of humanity, not profit. OpenAI countersued Musk in April, accusing the billionaire of engaging in fraudulent business practices under California law. Musk then asked for OpenAI's counterclaims to be dismissed or delayed until a later stage in the case. OpenAI argued in May its countersuit should not be put on hold, and the judge on Tuesday concluded that the company's allegations were legally sufficient to proceed. A jury trial has been scheduled for spring 2026.
