A "QuitGPT" campaign is urging people to cancel their ChatGPT subscriptions Backlash against ICE is fueling a broader movement against AI companies' ties to President Trump. In September, Alfred Stephen, a freelance software developer in Singapore, purchased a ChatGPT Plus subscription, which costs $20 a month and offers more access to advanced models, to speed up his work. But he grew frustrated with the chatbot's coding abilities and its gushing, meandering replies. Then he came across a post on Reddit about a campaign called QuitGPT . The campaign urged ChatGPT users to cancel their subscriptions, flagging a substantial contribution by OpenAI president Greg Brockman to President Donald Trump's super PAC MAGA Inc. It also pointed out that the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, uses a résumé screening tool powered by ChatGPT-4.

In the wake of a seminal wave of new artificial intelligence startups such as OpenAI, a new U.K. company claims it can track and rank banks on their ability to develop and deploy AI platforms. Evident, a benchmarking and intelligence company, says its inaugural Index can rank the 23 largest banks in North America and Europe on their competence in AI. "As the real-world application of AI accelerates at astonishing speed, we believe that this transformation is too important -- for managers, for investors, for society at large -- to be happening in a darkened room. Our Index measures the race to banking AI maturity in a way that brings transparency to the top of the agenda," said Alexandra Mousavizadeh, Evident co-founder and CEO in a statement. Over a call she added: "Setting our methodology onto the banks felt like the right place to start because this is a sector that has been really focused on this for a number of years. After this we plan to go into insurance and the health sector as well as the energy sector, manufacturing and so on."

In 1994, Amazon set out to change the world. Its initial public offering three years later valued the company at just $461 million. Is it possible, though, that the company is just getting started? He believes the Seattle retailer is on the verge of explosive growth as it transforms its fast-growing Prime subscription service into the perfect, frictionless omni-channel retail experience. As investors realize the potential scale, Galloway posits Amazon shareholders will be rewarded with the first $1 trillion market valuation.

Two UD researchers--James C. (Cole) Galloway, associate professor of physical therapy, and Sunil Agrawal, professor of mechanical engineering--have outfitted kid-size robots to provide mobility to children who are unable to fully explore the world on their own. The work is important because much of infant development, both of the brain and behavior, emerges from the thousands of experiences each day that arise as babies independently move and explore their world. This is the concept of "embodied development," Galloway said. Infants with Down Syndrome, cerebral palsy, autism and other disorders can have mobility limitations that disconnect them from the ongoing exploration that their peers enjoy. "If these infants were adults, therapists would have options of assistive technology such as power wheelchairs," Galloway said.

Tesla is one of those companies that people love to love. The electric-car maker's story is one of innovation and genius, with a dose of erudite bravado coming from its intrepid CEO, Elon Musk. Musk has championed Tesla's technologies, including the driver-assist feature called Autopilot. Much has been said about Autopilot's virtues -- its ability to keep the car in one lane, avoid collisions and use cameras and radar to detect its surroundings -- but the technology is not perfect. Japanese automakers, by comparison, are unwilling to follow Tesla's aggressive strategy of getting such features into drivers' hands quickly.
