US officials are looking into the national security risks linked to an AI advancement made by the Chinese company DeepSeek, as mentioned by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. This follows the US Navy's decision to prohibit its members from using DeepSeek's apps due to potential security and ethical issues.

OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, stated it will collaborate with the US government to protect its technology from competitors. DeepSeek's affordable AI model has negatively impacted the stock prices of US tech companies as investors reevaluate their AI investments. Leavitt noted that the National Security Council is exploring the implications of this situation, reflecting US President Donald Trump's opinion that DeepSeek's progress should alert the tech industry.

The Navy warned its personnel against using DeepSeek's app, citing concerns over its model’s origin. David Sacks, the White House's AI czar, claimed DeepSeek might have learned from OpenAI's models through a technique called knowledge distillation. OpenAI confirmed that other companies aim to replicate its models and emphasized the importance of protecting its intellectual property. DeepSeek reported experiencing cyber attacks and has limited registrations due to these issues.

Elon Musk, along with a consortium of investors, has made an offer of $97.4 billion to acquire the organization that controls OpenAI

Do you think Elon Musk has too much power? Does he own too many companies?

AI boom is sucking water from drought-prone areas

Every time you use AI for tasks like writing essays or creating memes, it sends requests to massive data centers that require significant water for cooling. Since 2022, over 160 new AI data centers have been established in water-scarce regions of the U.S., such as Texas and Arizona. A single 100-megawatt data center consumes about 2 million liters of water daily, enough for 6,500 households.

By 2030, global data center water usage could reach 1.2 trillion liters annually, primarily due to evaporative cooling methods that waste around 80% of the water. While some tech companies have pledged to be "water positive" by 2030, many continue to take more than they give back, prompting local communities, like those in Oregon, to sue companies like Google for transparency on their water usage. AI may be advanced, but its construction raises serious water management concerns.

Sam Altman says the world must prepare together for AI’s massive impact

OpenAI releases imperfect models early so the world can see, adapt, and help shape regulations. "There are going to be scary times ahead"

But collaboration can turn AI into much more good than bad.

🇨🇳 China’s night school boom: Learn AI after dinner, earn before bed

Across China, delivery drivers, office workers, and stay-at-home parents are heading to AI night school after work. These cheap, fast courses teach people to make AI art, videos, and noscripts, helping them land side gigs or boost productivity.

One student earns $275 a month making AI images. Another now builds presentations in hours instead of days. AI isn’t replacing them yet, but they’re not waiting to find out.

⚔️ OpenAI vs. Microsoft? The AI Dream Team Might Be Breaking Up

Things are getting messy between two of the biggest names in AI. OpenAI is reportedly gearing up for a legal showdown with its biggest backer, Microsoft — accusing the tech giant of anticompetitive behavior. Yes, the same Microsoft that poured $1B into OpenAI back in 2019 and powers ChatGPT through Azure.

Now, OpenAI is flirting with Google Cloud, dropping hints of independence, and might even push for a federal antitrust review. The vibes? Not great.

Microsoft already stepped away from its OpenAI board seat last year to dodge regulatory heat. But if this breakup goes public, it could shake the foundation of the most powerful alliance in Silicon Valley’s AI arms race.

Stay tuned — the AI world’s biggest power couple might be heading for a very public split.

Sam Altman says OpenAI next open-source model will be much better than people expect

🌍 Google just dropped $37M to supercharge Africa’s AI future

From language to food security, Google’s betting big on the continent’s talent and tech potential.

💸 $25M for AI tools tackling food insecurity across Africa
🗣️ $3M to build models in 40+ African languages
🏠 New AI Community Centre launched in Accra, Ghana
🎓 100,000 AI scholarships in Ghana — plus major education pushes in Nigeria, Kenya & South Africa

This isn’t just philanthropy — it’s a global AI power play, starting in Africa.

Ray Kurzweil says humans will merge with AI and become a hybrid species

Still human, but enhanced by technology. As machines shrink and embed invisibly in our bodies, biology will no longer set our limits. "Live life without limits".

⚠️ ChatGPT chats may be reported to police

OpenAI has confirmed it can escalate certain user conversations to law enforcement under safety policies.

⚡ Threats of violence or harm are reviewed by human moderators and may be sent to police if deemed imminent
❌ Self-harm content is not reported — instead, users are directed to crisis helplines
👥 Users making serious threats can face account bans alongside potential legal action

The move raises sharp privacy concerns, as critics warn the vague line between “serious” and “ambiguous” threats could expose ordinary chats to scrutiny.

⚠️ Gemini AI flagged “high risk” for kids

Watchdog Common Sense Media put Google’s kid-friendly Gemini to the test — and found it’s really just the adult bot with a PG label.

✅ It does remind kids: “I’m a computer, not your friend” — important, since “buddy-bots” have been tied to teen suicides.
❌ But it still dishes out advice on sex, drugs, alcohol, and mental health way beyond what’s safe for kids.
🚨 Both the Under 13 and Teen versions were rated high risk.

Apple is rumored to be eyeing Gemini for the next Siri upgrade — meaning this problem could scale fast. Google says more guardrails are coming, but even admits: “some answers weren’t working as intended.”

AI for kids is a whole different ballgame — and no one’s cracked it yet.

Albania "Appoints" World’s First AI Minister 🤖

Albania made history by appointing an AI named Diella as a government minister. It will oversee all public procurement and tenders, an area long plagued by corruption. Prime Minister Edi Rama says the goal is 100% transparency.

🤔 Diella already worked as a virtual assistant on Albania’s digital platform, handling nearly a million documents. Now she gets full ministerial authority.

👍 Supporters call it a breakthrough. Critics warn it may be unconstitutional and could still be manipulated.
