At OpenAI's Developer Day, CEO Sam Altman showed off apps that run entirely inside the chat window--a new effort to turn ChatGPT into a platform. On Monday, OpenAI unveiled a new way to embed third-party apps directly into ChatGPT. At the company's annual developer conference in San Francisco, CEO Sam Altman said the move would "enable a new generation of apps that are adaptive, interactive, and personalized, that you can chat with." Starting today, some developers will be able to use a preview version of a new Apps software development kit (SDK) to build apps within ChatGPT using open standards. The ability to distribute these apps is currently limited to a handful of big partners.

OpenAI's Blockbuster AMD Deal Is a Bet on Near-Limitless Demand for AI OpenAI's latest move in the race to build massive data centers in the US shows it believes demand for AI will keep surging--even as skeptics warn of a bubble. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, Lisa Su, CEO of Advanced Micro Devices, and Michael Intrator, CEO of CoreWeave, arrive to testify during the Senate on Thursday, May 8, 2025.Photograph: Tom Williams; Getty Images Save this storyOpenAI announced on Monday that it will acquire several data centers' worth of chips from AMD in a blockbuster deal that could also give OpenAI the option to acquire a roughly 10 percent stake in the chipmaker. It's another bold bet from OpenAI that demand for generative artificial intelligence will continue rising--bubble be damned. "Excited to partner with AMD to use their chips to serve our users!" OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said on X, adding that the company will also ramp up its investments in Nvidia chips. He added: "The world needs much more compute " OpenAI said in a blog post this morning that it would commit to purchasing 6 gigawatts' worth of AMD chips over the next several years.

In the ongoing war of AI investment, OpenAI has secured itself a new ally: AMD. The chip maker will trade millions of its upcoming Instinct MI450 GPUs for an investment by the AI company, worth up to 10 percent of its stock. The numbers, though, remain vague.

OpenAI and the chipmaker AMD announced on Monday that they had signed a multibillion-dollar chip deal that would also give the ChatGPT creator the option to buy a large stake in the chipmaker. The deal offers OpenAI an opportunity to buy 10% in AMD and marks a major vote of confidence in the company's AI chips and software. Shares of AMD surged more than 30% and added about $80bn to its market capitalization after the announcement. "We view this deal as certainly transformative, not just for AMD, but for the dynamics of the industry," said Forrest Norrod, AMD's executive vice-president. The latest deal, among a string of investment commitments, is a testament to OpenAI and the broader AI industry's voracious appetite for computing power as companies race toward developing AI technology that meets or exceeds human intelligence.

How does AI affect how we learn? When OpenAI released " study mode " in July 2025, the company touted ChatGPT's educational benefits. "When ChatGPT is prompted to teach or tutor, it can significantly improve academic performance," the company's vice president of education told reporters at the product's launch. But any dedicated teacher would be right to wonder: Is this just marketing, or does scholarly research really support such claims? While generative AI tools are moving into classrooms at lightning speed, robust research on the question at hand hasn't moved nearly as fast.

OpenAI's Sora 2 app allows users to make AI-generated videos based on a text prompt. OpenAI's Sora 2 app allows users to make AI-generated videos based on a text prompt. Company behind the AI video app says it will work with rights holders to'block characters from Sora at their request' Mon 6 Oct 2025 00.10 EDTLast modified on Mon 6 Oct 2025 00.11 EDT Sora 2, a video generator powered by artificial intelligence, was launched last week on an invite-only basis. The app allows users to generate short videos based on a text prompt. Varun Shetty, OpenAI's head of media partnerships, said: "We'll work with rights holders to block characters from Sora at their request and respond to takedown requests."

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman speaks in Washington in July. OpenAI signed a multiyear partnership Monday with chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices as the ChatGPT-maker continues an investment spree to secure massive amounts of computing power for rolling out generative artificial intelligence. The companies announced the plan to develop AI data centers that the chipmaker said would bring in tens of billions of dollars in new revenue over the next five years. AMD's share price surged 35% when markets opened on news of the agreement that would see the company deliver six gigawatts worth of chips to the ChatGPT-maker. In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.

The development of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools capable of producing wholly or partially synthetic child sexual abuse material (AI CSAM) presents profound challenges for child protection, law enforcement, and societal responses to child exploitation. While some argue that the harmfulness of AI CSAM differs fundamentally from other CSAM due to a perceived absence of direct victimization, this perspective fails to account for the range of risks associated with its production and consumption. AI has been implicated in the creation of synthetic CSAM of children who have not previously been abused, the revictimization of known survivors of abuse, the facilitation of grooming, coercion and sexual extortion, and the normalization of child sexual exploitation. Additionally, AI CSAM may serve as a new or enhanced pathway into offending by lowering barriers to engagement, desensitizing users to progressively extreme content, and undermining protective factors for individuals with a sexual interest in children. This paper provides a primer on some key technologies, critically examines the harms associated with AI CSAM, and cautions against claims that it may function as a harm reduction tool, emphasizing how some appeals to harmlessness obscure its real risks and may contribute to inertia in ecosystem responses.
