During a Wednesday appearance on "The Will Cain Show," Joe Lonsdale, who co-founded companies like Palantir and OpenGov, said Trump's move to accelerate the development of artificial intelligence is a "key to unlocking productivity growth" in the United States.

CNN's Jake Tapper warns we're entering era of 'deepfakes and all sorts of misinformation'
CNN's Jake Tapper warned on Monday that the country was about to enter an "era of deepfakes and all sorts of disinformation" under President Trump, while discussing the Big Tech presence at his inauguration. "We're about to enter an era of deepfakes, and all sorts of misinformation and the degree to which those five gentlemen play a role or do not play a role, will be pivotal in terms of where the American people are four years from now, in terms of understanding what is true and what is false," Tapper said before Trump took the oath of office. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Tesla founder Elon Musk, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Apple CEO Tim Cook and Google CEO Sundar Pichai were among the tech giants attending the inauguration. Tapper said those five people "control so much of the information that we receive, so much is in their hands when it comes to ascertaining, monitoring, or refusing to monitor what is real, what is not real." CNN's Jake Tapper speaks on CNN on Jan. 12, 2025.

Google boss admits 'woke' images generated by company's Gemini AI chatbot were 'unacceptable' - after it depicted Founding Fathers as Black, German Nazis as Asian
Inaccurate AI-generated images of Asian Nazis, Black founding fathers, and female Popes created with Google's Gemini AI chatbot are'unacceptable,' the company's CEO said. Google CEO Sundar Pichai responded to the images in a memo to staff calling the photos'problematic' and telling staff the company is working'around the clock' to fix the issues. Google's Gemini AI chatbot generated historically inaccurate images of Black founding fathers Google CEO Sundar Pichai apologized for the'problematic' images depicting Black Nazis and other'woke images' 'No Al is perfect, especially at this emerging stage of the industry's development, but we know the bar is high for us and we will keep at it for however long it takes. 'And we'll review what happened and make sure we fix it at scale,' Pichai said. Sundar Pichai said the company is taking steps to ensure the Gemini AI chatbot doesn't generate these images again Google temporarily disabled Gemini's image generation tool last week after users complained it was generating'woke' but incorrect images such as female Popes Google came under fire last week for its AI chatbot posting woke and historically inaccurate images, and critics accused the company of anti-white bias, claiming the company was overcompensating for for longstanding racial bias issues.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai on Gemini and the coming age of AI
Pichai, who previously oversaw Chrome and Android, is famously product obsessed. In his first founder's letter as CEO in 2016, he predicted that "[w]e will move from mobile first to an AI first world." In the years since, Pichai has infused AI deeply into all of Google's products, from Android devices all the way up to the cloud. Despite that, the last year has largely been defined by the AI releases from another company, OpenAI. The rollout of DALL-E and GPT-3.5 last year, followed by GPT-4 this year, dominated the sector and kicked off an arms race between startups and tech giants alike.
The Great AI debate explodes yet again as 'godfather' of the technology quits Google
The'godfather' of artificial intelligence (AI) has tossed a grenade into the raging debate about the dangers of the technology -- after sensationally quitting his job at Google and saying he regrets his life's work. British-Canadian pioneer Geoffrey Hinton, 75, further fanned the flames of a growing Silicon Valley civil war, as he issued a spine-chilling warning that'scary' chatbots like the hugely popular ChatGPT could soon become smarter than humans. Some of the world's greatest minds are split over whether AI will destroy or elevate humanity, with Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates championing the technology and Tesla founder Elon Musk a staunch critic. The bitter argument spilled into the public domain earlier this year when more than 1,000 tech tycoons signed a letter calling for a pause on the'dangerous race' to advance AI. They said urgent action was needed before humans lose control of the technology and risk being wiped out by robots.

The sprint to perfect AI is the 21st century's nuclear arms race, says tech mogul
A tech mogul has described the sprint to perfect artificial intelligence (AI) as the 21st century's nuclear arms race. Kevin Baragona was one of the more than 1,000 leading experts who signed an open letter on The Future of Life Institute, calling for a pause on the'dangerous race' to develop ChatGPT-like AI. Like the invention of the atomic bomb in the 1940s, Baragona told DailyMail.com'Many

These are the world's greatest minds going to war over AI
Silicon Valley is in the midst of a civil war over the advancement of artificial intelligence - with the world's greatest minds split over whether it will destroy or elevate humanity. The growing divide comes after the extraordinary rise of ChatGPT, which has taken the world by storm in recent months, passing leading medical and law exams that take humans nearly three months to prepare. Elon Musk, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and the late Stephen Hawking are among the most famous critics of AI who believe the technology poses a'profound risk to society and humanity' and could have'catastrophic' effects. The tech tycoons on Wednesday called for a pause on the'dangerous race' to advance AI, saying more risk assessment needs to be conducted before humans lose control and it becomes a sentient human-hating species. At this point, AI would have reached singularity, which means it has surpassed human intelligence and has independent thinking. AI would no longer need or listen to humans, allowing it to steal nuclear codes, create pandemics and spark world wars.

Google AI Team Demands Ousted Black Researcher Be Rehired And Promoted
On Wednesday, members of the company's prominent Ethical AI research team wrote a letter to Google CEO Sundar Pichai asking that ousted researcher Timnit Gebru be rehired. On Wednesday, members of the company's prominent Ethical AI research team wrote a letter to Google CEO Sundar Pichai asking that ousted researcher Timnit Gebru be rehired. Members of a prestigious research unit at Google have sent a letter to the company's chief executive demanding that ousted artificial intelligence researcher Timnit Gebru be reinstated. Gebru, who studies the ethics of AI and was one of the only Black research scientists at Google, says she was unexpectedly fired after a dispute over an academic paper and months of speaking out about the need for more women and people of color at the tech giant. In a letter sent on Wednesday by members of Google's Ethical AI team to CEO Sundar Pichai, Gebru's former colleagues ask that she be re-hired and promoted, among a host of other demands, according to a copy of the note obtained by NPR that was first reported by Bloomberg.
