The errors and omissions come as tech companies increasingly invest in technology that pushes users to a single definitive answer -- rather than providing a list of websites -- raising the stakes of each response. They also come as Donald Trump and his allies continue to press the false claim that the 2020 election was stolen. Multiple investigations have revealed no evidence of fraud, and Trump faces federal criminal charges related to his efforts to overturn the election of Joe Biden, who swamped Trump in the electoral college and earned over 51 percent of the popular vote.

The European Union is readying a landmark antitrust law that could limit more advanced generative AI models. The Federal Trade Commission is investigating a deal that Microsoft made with the AI start-up Inflection, probing whether the tech giant deliberately set up the investment to avoid a merger review. And U.S. enforcers reached a deal that will open the company to greater scrutiny of how it wields power to dominate artificial intelligence, including its multibillion-dollar investments in ChatGPT maker OpenAI. That relationship has also exposed Microsoft to new reputational risks, as OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman frequently invites controversy.

Deepfakes and AI-generated images have been around for several years, but as the technology improves and the tools to make them becomes widely available, they've become increasingly common on social media platforms. An AI-generated image of a sprawling refugee camp with the words "All Eyes on Rafah" went viral in late May as a way for people to show their support for Palestinians in Gaza. As major elections take place across the globe, some politicians have tried to use fake images to make their opponents look bad.

Nakasone joins OpenAI's board following a dramatic board shake-up. Amid a tougher regulatory environment and increased efforts to digitize government and military services, tech companies are increasingly seeking board members with military expertise. Amazon's board includes Keith Alexander, who was previously the commander of U.S. Cyber Command and the director of the NSA. Google Public Sector, a division of the company that focuses on selling cloud services to governments, also has retired generals on its board.

For example, despite Gen Z's switch to ironic emoji use, the most popular emojis are still, by far, positive faces like the smiley, according to Emojipedia. Baked-in AI generators probably won't change that, he said, but they could introduce millions of emojis beloved by one or two people. Close friends tend to develop their own group-speak, and that includes emojis. Broni said he has two iMessage-using friends who call each other "puffin," in a romantic way.

AI safety is a growing concern as more companies integrate generative AI into their offerings and use large language models in consumer products. Last month, Google faced sharp criticism after its experimental "AI Overviews" tool, which purports to answer users' questions, suggested dangerous activities such as eating one small rock per day or adding glue to pizza. In February, Air Canada came under fire when its AI-enabled chatbot promised a fake discount to a traveler.

Musk originally filed his lawsuit at the beginning of March, arguing that OpenAI had breached its commitment to early investors and the public to build AI for the benefit of humanity when it began making money. At the time, OpenAI executives blamed Musk's lawsuit on his not being a part of the company as it was seeing massive success. Musk did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday. A spokesperson for OpenAI declined to comment.

A revolution in satellite technology has produced spacecraft that are smaller and more capable, capsules that fly themselves and autonomous rockets that reach space, make a U-turn and execute pinpoint landings so they can fly again. While ground engineers and computer experts have always played an important role in spaceflight, today their role is even more pronounced as software changes are beamed to spacecraft as routinely as iPhone updates.

First, other companies including Google, Amazon and Microsoft have bragged about similarly useful AI features that have not worked nearly as well as they promised. Second, Apple has a rocky track record in AI, including having foisted on you the dimwitted Siri for more than a decade.

At the same time, the deal could bring Apple new scrutiny from regulators. The Cupertino, Calif., company is already battling a Justice Department antitrust lawsuit that alleges it wields an illegal smartphone monopoly. Antitrust enforcers have been wary of the ways that tech companies use their deep war chests to strike deals that threaten innovation. Apple's massive deal with Google -- where the search giant pays to give its search engine prime placement in Apple's Safari web browser -- has been a key part of a government lawsuit, which claims Google has used the arrangement to squeeze out competitors.
