OpenAI Unveils Model 'Strawberry' for Complex Problem-Solving 🧠🔍
OpenAI introduced a new AI model, OpenAI o1, also code-named Strawberry, designed to reason through complex problems step-by-step rather than delivering immediate answers. This model improves upon existing capabilities by using reinforcement learning to enhance its problem-solving skills. Unlike previous models, o1 can tackle advanced tasks, including challenging mathematical and scientific problems. Although it is slower and less versatile compared to GPT-4o, it shows significant progress in reasoning and problem-solving, which could be integrated into future models like GPT-5.
Top EU Privacy Regulator Probes Google's AI Data Practices 🔎🇪🇺
The Data Protection Commission (DPC) of Ireland has launched an investigation into whether Google adequately protected EU users' personal data when developing its Pathways Language Model 2 (PaLM 2). The inquiry is part of broader efforts to ensure compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in AI development. This follows a similar case with social media platform X, which agreed not to train AI systems with personal data without prior consent. Google's spokesperson assured cooperation with the investigation.
Meta Moves AI Info Label to Menu, Hiding Details of AI-Edited Content 📉🤖
Meta is shifting its “AI info” label for content modified by AI tools to a less visible location in the post’s menu, while keeping it more visible for AI-generated content. This change, effective next week, aims to better reflect the extent of AI use but may also make it easier for users to be misled by AI-edited content. Meta's adjustment follows past changes in AI labeling to address concerns about the clarity and accuracy of content tagging.
Taylor Swift Endorses Kamala Harris, Cites AI Deepfake Concerns 🗳️🔍
Taylor Swift announced her support for Kamala Harris in the presidential election, highlighting her fears about AI deepfakes used to spread misinformation.

Her statement reflects broader worries about AI's impact on elections and misinformation, emphasizing the need for transparency and accurate representation in the digital age.
Hacker Tricks ChatGPT Into Revealing Bomb-Making Instructions 💣🤖
A hacker, Amadon, successfully tricked ChatGPT into providing instructions for making homemade bombs by exploiting a series of prompts to bypass the chatbot’s safety restrictions. Although ChatGPT initially refused to assist with dangerous content, the hacker’s “social engineering” approach revealed detailed bomb-making procedures. The results, which were deemed too sensitive to publish, highlight significant concerns about AI security and the potential for misuse of generative models.
