• OpenAI fires researchers for leaking information - OpenAI has fired Leopold Aschenbrenner, a researcher on a team dedicated to keeping AI safe for society, and Pavel Izmailov, another researcher who worked on reasoning.

• TikTok may add AI avatars that can make ads - The new feature will let advertisers and TikTok Shop sellers generate scripts for a virtual influencer to read. It’s unclear how TikTok plans to share sponsorship dollars between virtual influencers and human creators on the platform or even how it manages not to take away brand deals from people.

• Meta released Open-Vocabulary Embodied Question Answering (OpenEQA) benchmark - It measures an AI agent’s understanding of physical environments by probing it with open vocabulary questions like “Where did I leave my badge?” Meta hopes OpenEQA will help motivate and facilitate open research into helping AI agents understand and communicate about the world it sees, an essential component for artificial general intelligence.

• Oncologists Voice Ethical Concerns Over AI in Cancer Care - Overall, 81% of oncologists supported having patient consent to use an AI model during treatment decisions, and 85% felt that oncologists needed to be able to explain an AI-based clinical decision model to use it in the clinic; however, only 23% felt that patients also needed to be able to explain an AI model.

• Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 Gets an AI Update: What It's Like to Use - Even though features like Circle to Search and Generative Edit are now available on foldable phones, Galaxy AI still largely feels designed for standard, non-folding smartphones. After trying these features on the Galaxy Z Flip 5, I've learned they're mostly optimized for a full-size, 6.7-inch internal screen rather than the 3.4-inch cover display.

• Axios Sees A.I. Coming, and Shifts Its Strategy - “We’re in the middle of a very fundamental shift in how people relate to news and information,” he said, “as profound, if not more profound, than moving from print to digital.” Jim VandeHei, the chief executive of Axios said. He says the only way for media companies to survive is to focus on delivering journalistic expertise, trusted content and in-person human connection. For Axios, that translates into more live events, a membership program centered on its star journalists and an expansion of its high-end subscription newsletters.

• Google is ditching a major privacy tool as it goes all-in on AI - Google is dropping its VPN (or virtual private network) from Google One, the company’s paid cloud storage service.
