Musk's bid to dismiss OpenAI's harassment claims denied in court
A 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. Musk sued OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman last year over the company's transition to a for-profit model.(REUTERS) In the latest turn in a court battle that kicked off last year, US 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.

High school maths trumps Olympiad gold medalist AI models: Google Deepmind CEO answers why
Google Deepmind chief executive Demis Hassabis said that advanced AI models like Gemini can surpass benchmarks like the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) but struggle with basic high school maths problems due to inconsistencies. "The lack of consistency in AI is a major barrier to achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI), " he said on the "Google for Developers" podcast, adding that it is a major roadblock in the journey. Artificial general intelligence, or AGI, is generally understood as software that has the general cognitive abilities of human beings and can perform any task that a human can. He also referred to Google CEO Sundar Pichai's description of the current state of AI as "AJI", or artificial jagged intelligence, where systems excel in certain tasks but fail in others. Road towards AGI The Deepmind CEO said just increasing data and computing power won't suffice to solve the problem at highlighted that rigorous testing and challenging benchmarks can precisely measure an AI model's accurate progress."We need better testing and new, more challenging benchmarks to determine precisely what the models excel at and what they don't." Also Read: AI helps Big Tech score big numbers Not just Google ET reported that artificial intelligence (AI) agents, hailed as the "next big thing" by major tech players like Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic, are expected to be a major focus and trend this year. OpenAI launched Operator, its first AI agent, in January this year, for Pro users across multiple regions, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, India, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, the UK, and most places where ChatGPT is October, Anthropic launched an upgraded version of its Claude 3.5 Sonnet model, which can interact with any desktop application.
