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

President Donald Trump abruptly postponed a major artificial intelligence executive order on Thursday after intense pressure from Silicon Valley leaders who warned the proposal could slow innovation and weaken America’s competitive advantage against China. The move came just hours before a planned White House signing ceremony that would have included executives from some of the world’s largest AI companies, highlighting the growing influence of the tech industry over U.S. AI

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

Digg is returning once again, but this time it is taking a very different approach from its earlier comeback attempt. The once-popular link-sharing site, originally founded by Kevin Rose in 2004, is now being redesigned as an AI-focused news aggregator. Instead of trying to directly compete with Reddit as a community forum, the new Digg is focused on helping users sort through the fast-moving world of artificial intelligence and identify the stories, voices, and conversations

Microsoft, Google DeepMind, and Elon Musk’s xAI have agreed to give the U.S. government early access to their newest artificial intelligence models before they are released publicly. The agreement was announced by the Commerce Department’s Center for AI Standards and Innovation, known as CAISI. The goal is to let government researchers examine powerful AI systems ahead of public launch so they can better understand possible security risks, weaknesses, and national security co

Elon Musk has once again sparked widespread debate about the future of work, money, and retirement, arguing that rapid advances in artificial intelligence will soon make traditional financial planning for old age largely unnecessary. In a resurfaced interview on the Moonshots with Peter Diamandis podcast, Musk suggested that people will not need to “worry about squirreling money away for retirement in 10 or 20 years,” claiming that in the near future, “it won’t matter.” He de

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

A growing fight over the future of space is putting astronomy, environmental protection, and technological ambition on a collision course. Astronomers are sounding the alarm over two proposals now under review by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission: Reflect Orbital’s plan to launch tens of thousands of giant mirrors into orbit and SpaceX’s vision for up to one million satellites designed to support artificial intelligence and orbital data processing. Scientists warn th

Artificial intelligence may be approaching a turning point far sooner than many businesses, investors, and governments expect. According to recent research highlighted by Morgan Stanley, the first half of 2026 could bring a dramatic leap in AI capabilities that reshapes entire industries. The investment bank warns that rapid advances in computing power and model training are pushing large language models toward a new level of performance, potentially triggering a wave of econ

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is reportedly exploring an unusually literal way to scale artificial intelligence: putting parts of its computing infrastructure in space. According to reporting summarized by multiple outlets, Altman has shown interest in building a space oriented business not to pursue Mars colonization, but to support AI data centers that could draw abundant solar energy and potentially reduce the environmental burden that earthbound facilities create (Smith; “Sam A

Elon Musk has made yet another audacious prediction: by 2040, humanoid robots could surpass the human population, potentially...
