🚨 Murdered Insurance CEO Had Deployed an AI to Automatically Deny Benefits for Sick People
The murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson has drawn attention to rising public anger over U.S. healthcare practices. Reports suggest the shooter may have been motivated by resentment against the insurer, with bullets inscribed “deny,” “defend,” and “depose”—terms linked to insurance claim denials.
The killing comes amid a lawsuit accusing UHC of using an AI algorithm, nH Predict, to override doctors’ decisions and deny claims, with a reported 90% error rate. Families of deceased patients allege UHC knew of the issues, fueling outrage over its practices.
While the shooter’s motives remain unknown, the backlash highlights deep frustrations with a system seen as prioritizing profits over care.

🚨 AI systems could ‘turn against humans’: Tech pioneer Yoshua Bengio warns of artificial intelligence risks
Artificial intelligence pioneer Yoshua Bengio has warned of the potential negative effects of the technology on society and called for more research and “guardrails” to develop AI safely.
There are arguments to suggest that the way AI machines are currently being trained “would lead to systems that turn against humans,” Bengio said.
“We have agency. It’s not too late to steer the evolution of societies and humanity in a positive and beneficial direction,” he added.
🚨 Researchers from Google DeepMind have introduced Socratic learning, a new approach to recursive self-improvement in AI
🔹 This method enables systems to enhance their abilities autonomously, surpassing the constraints of their initial training data. By leveraging structured “language games,” this technique could provide a practical roadmap toward achieving artificial general intelligence.
🔹 DeepMind’s framework revolves around closed, self-contained environments where AI systems operate without external data. To achieve mastery, agents must meet three key conditions: (a) feedback aligned with goals, (b) broad data coverage, and (c) sufficient computational resources. This design promotes independent learning, offering a scalable path to AGI development while addressing challenges like data generation and feedback quality.
🔹 Central to this approach are language games, structured interactions where agents communicate, solve problems, and receive feedback in the form of scores. These games allow AI to engage in self-play, generating data and refining skills without human input. The recursive structure enables systems to create and play new games autonomously, unlocking more abstract problem-solving abilities and expanding their capabilities.
🔹 The ultimate innovation lies in self-modification, where agents not only learn from their environment but also reconfigure their internal systems. This could eliminate limitations imposed by fixed architectures, setting the stage for unparalleled performance improvement. DeepMind’s research underscores the potential of Socratic learning as a transformative step toward creating truly autonomous, self-improving AI.

🚨 OpenAI Considers Dropping ‘AGI’ Clause to Secure Microsoft Investment
OpenAI is reportedly negotiating to modify its partnership with Microsoft, potentially removing a clause that restricts Microsoft's access to OpenAI's advanced AI technologies once artificial general intelligence (AGI) is achieved. This change aims to attract more investment from Microsoft and other partners, as developing advanced AI systems is becoming costlier and more competitive.
The original clause was intended to prevent misuse of AGI technologies but is now viewed as a barrier to future funding, especially given Microsoft's substantial $13 billion investment in OpenAI. OpenAI's board, which decides when AGI is reached, is seeking alternatives to balance its mission of benefiting humanity with the need for resources.
Currently valued at $150 billion, OpenAI is restructuring to become a public benefit corporation, moving away from its non-profit roots—a shift that has drawn criticism, particularly from figures like Elon Musk. The new structure will keep a non-profit entity involved to uphold OpenAI's mission.
CEO Sam Altman has emphasized the need for a flexible funding model to face the uncertainties of AGI development. Discussions with Microsoft could reshape their collaboration, ensuring ongoing investment while addressing ethical considerations in AI advancement.

🚨 MIT unveils photonic chip for energy-efficient AI computation with 92% accuracy
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed an energy-efficient photonic chip that could revolutionize computing and communication technology. The chip utilizes nanoscale light-based circuits to transport data at high speeds while consuming far less power compared to traditional electronic chips.
This breakthrough could lead to the development of more energy-efficient and powerful computing devices, including smartphones, laptops, and data centers. The photonic chip's ability to transmit data using light instead of electricity has the potential to significantly reduce energy consumption and heat generation, which are major challenges facing current electronic-based technologies.

🚨 AI Is Quietly Redefining the Internet, in a way that's very concerning.
🔹 Artificial intelligence is reshaping the internet at an unprecedented speed, and its effects are becoming hard to ignore. From fake images flooding search results to AI-powered social media accounts and even virtual news anchors, the digital world is being transformed in ways that could threaten authenticity, creativity, and trust online.
🔹 AI-generated content is everywhere. A simple Google image search increasingly shows results created by algorithms rather than human photographers. Social media platforms like Instagram are packed with AI-generated influencers, some boasting millions of followers. Even news outlets are employing hyper-realistic AI anchors, and AI-generated music is sparking legal battles over intellectual property.
🔹 This influx of artificial content raises pressing questions: How much of what we see online is real? The internet’s human touch is at risk of being replaced by a flood of synthetic imitations. The rise of AI content isn’t just an aesthetic issue; it also poses a significant threat to truth and trust. AI tools are being used to create hyper-realistic fake videos and images, from political deepfakes to fabricated celebrity scandals.
There is no way of knowing what the internet will look like in a few years' time and whether we will be able to find anything “real” at all – or even recognize it if we do.
