A new wave of parents is using AI not just as a work tool, but as a household manager. Across social media, momfluencers are showing other mothers how to use ChatGPT, Claude, and similar tools to plan meals, organize schedules, write school emails, track chores, and manage the invisible labor of family life. What started as simple AI tips has grown into a new creator economy niche, with influencers selling prompts, guides, custom chatbots, and paid courses that teach parents

OpenAI has taken a major step toward Wall Street by confidentially filing for an initial public offering with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The move could lead to one of the largest public listings in market history, with the ChatGPT maker reportedly valued at more than $850 billion. Although OpenAI has not confirmed when it plans to go public, the confidential filing allows regulators to review its financial disclosures before they are eventually made public t

ChatGPT has reached a major milestone in the artificial intelligence industry, becoming the fastest app in history to hit one billion monthly active app users. According to estimates from market intelligence firm Sensor Tower, OpenAI’s chatbot reached this mark in May, only about three and a half years after launching in November 2022. This achievement puts ChatGPT ahead of major platforms such as Google Maps, TikTok, and Instagram in terms of adoption speed. Google Maps prev

Apple is preparing for one of its most important AI moments yet as it gets ready to reveal a major Siri overhaul at WWDC 2026. The company’s virtual assistant, first introduced in 2011, has fallen behind newer AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Google Gemini. While Apple has added features through Apple Intelligence, such as speech translation, custom emojis, and screen-based search, many analysts say the company has not yet delivered an AI feature that truly stands out. This

Concerns about the future of the artificial intelligence boom intensified this week after multiple reports revealed that OpenAI, the company that helped ignite the generative AI race with ChatGPT, has reportedly fallen short of its own ambitious growth and revenue expectations. The developments have sparked wider questions about whether the enormous spending pouring into AI infrastructure can continue at its current pace and whether OpenAI can maintain its leadership position

As artificial intelligence continues to reshape the business world, a new concern is emerging alongside the excitement surrounding the technology: cost. For the past few years, companies have focused heavily on increasing AI adoption, encouraging employees to use AI tools, and investing billions of dollars into developing more powerful models. Now, however, many organizations are beginning to realize that widespread AI use comes with significant expenses, particularly as toke

Florida has become the first U.S. state to file a lawsuit against OpenAI, marking a significant escalation in the growing debate over artificial intelligence safety and accountability. The lawsuit, filed by Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, accuses OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman of prioritizing profits and rapid growth over user safety while concealing known risks associated with ChatGPT. The legal action alleges that OpenAI aggressively marketed ChatGPT as a safe and trust

OpenAI has surprised the mathematics world after one of its internal AI models found a counterexample to a famous problem first proposed by Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős in 1946. The problem, known as the planar unit distance problem, asks a simple-sounding question: if a certain number of dots are placed on a flat plane, how many pairs of dots can be exactly one unit apart? For decades, mathematicians believed that grid-like arrangements were likely close to the best po

Apple is preparing one of its biggest Siri upgrades yet as part of iOS 27, with the company reportedly redesigning the iPhone experience around a more powerful AI assistant. After years of delays and criticism around Apple Intelligence, the new Siri is expected to become the centrepiece of Apple’s next software updates for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The overhaul is expected to be introduced at WWDC 2026, with a consumer release possibly arriving as early as September. The new Sir

A California jury has ruled in favor of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in a closely watched legal battle brought by Elon Musk, ending one of the most dramatic courtroom clashes in the history of the artificial intelligence industry. The federal jury in Oakland found that Altman, OpenAI, company president Greg Brockman, and Microsoft were not liable for Musk’s claims that they had betrayed OpenAI’s original nonprofit mission for personal and commercial gain. After less than two hours o

Billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones believes the artificial intelligence-driven bull market still has more room to grow, even as he warns that the eventual ending could bring a sharp correction. Speaking on CNBC, Jones said the current AI boom reminds him of earlier technology revolutions, including Microsoft’s early rise in the 1980s, the launch of Apple II, and the commercial internet wave of the mid-1990s. In his view, AI is still in the early stages of a major

OpenAI’s latest AI models developed an unexpected habit: talking about goblins. After users and employees noticed ChatGPT and related tools using odd creature-based metaphors, OpenAI investigated why words like “goblin,” “gremlin,” and even references to raccoons, trolls, ogres, and pigeons were appearing more often in responses. What started as a strange but mostly harmless language quirk became a useful example of how AI training can accidentally reward and spread unusual b

Elon Musk and Sam Altman are heading into one of the most closely watched legal battles in the artificial intelligence world, as Musk’s long-running lawsuit against OpenAI finally moves to trial. The case begins with jury selection in Oakland, California, before U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, with opening arguments expected shortly after. Musk, Altman, OpenAI president Greg Brockman, and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella are all listed among the possible witnesses. At

Artificial intelligence is becoming a bigger part of how people search for health information, but that convenience is raising serious concerns. Nearly 8 in 10 adults in the United States already turn to the internet for health answers, and more than 1 in 5 adults worldwide are now going directly to AI chatbots such as ChatGPT and Gemini. The attraction is obvious. These tools are fast, free, and available at any time, which can feel especially helpful when doctor appointment

OpenAI has launched a major expansion of ChatGPT with the introduction of workspace agents, a system designed to move artificial intelligence beyond simple conversational assistance into fully autonomous, task-executing tools for organizations. Announced on April 22, 2026, the update allows teams to create shared AI agents that can manage complex, multi-step workflows across departments while operating within defined organizational permissions, controls, and security framewor

The publishing world is facing a growing problem that feels both immediate and unsettling: books suspected of being written with artificial intelligence are already slipping into the market, and many in the industry are not confident they can stop it. That anxiety exploded with the controversy surrounding Shy Girl , a horror novel by Mia Ballard that was first self published in February 2025, later released in the UK in November 2025, and then set for a US publication before

OpenAI’s decision to shut down Sora only six months after launch marks a surprisingly fast end for one of the company’s boldest consumer AI experiments. Released in September as a short form video app, Sora was designed to let users create, remix, and share AI generated clips in a social feed similar to TikTok. At first, the app looked like a major hit. It went viral almost immediately, reached one million downloads in less than five days, and later peaked at more than 3.3 mi

Warren Buffett may no longer be leading Berkshire Hathaway, but artificial intelligence is still playing a major role in the company’s future. After Buffett retired as CEO on Dec. 31 following roughly six decades at the helm, Greg Abel took over responsibility for Berkshire’s $313 billion investment portfolio. That handoff also included major exposure to AI through three key holdings: Apple, Alphabet, and Amazon. Together, those positions represent about $64 billion in invest

Nvidia is signaling it may be done writing ever-larger equity checks to the AI startups it supplies, even as it remains the primary company selling the chips that make their ambitions possible. Speaking at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecom Conference in San Francisco on March 4, CEO Jensen Huang said Nvidia’s recent investments in OpenAI and Anthropic are likely to be its last in both companies, arguing that once they go public, the window for private investing

Canada’s federal government is pressing OpenAI for answers and concrete safety changes after the Feb. 10 mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., a tragedy in which police say eight people were killed, including six at a secondary school. The case has intensified questions about what responsibility AI companies have when users post, or appear to post, content signaling real-world violence, and how quickly platforms should alert law enforcement. At the centre of the scrutiny is C
