STOCK MARKETS

💥 AI stocks had steady gains across the board, ending the aggressive selloff seen over the past two weeks. Despite the steady price, Elon Musk thinks that AI could go rogue, stating, “It’s 80% likely to be great, but 20% could spell disaster”. Learn more.

LEGAL

🔍 AI search summaries under fire

Our Report: A group of Democratic leaders—led by Senator Amy Klobuchar—has written a letter to the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Department of Justice (DOJ), urging them to investigate whether AI tools that summarize and regurgitate online content (like news stories) are violating antitrust laws.

🔑 Key Points:

• While a traditional search result or news feed takes the reader to the publisher's website, AI-generated summaries keep people on the search platform, meaning original content creators miss out on visits.

• To stop content being summarized in AI search results, they must opt out of being indexed—also resulting in a drop in visitors—forcing them to make lay-offs, while big AI players reap the benefits from ad revenue.

• The democratic leaders are, therefore, asking the FTC/DOJ to investigate whether these new AI methods are “a form of exclusionary conduct or an unfair method of competition in violation of the antitrust laws.”

🤔 Why you should care: For the FTC/DOJ to be able to do something about this, the democratic leaders must prove that the handful of big AI players (Google and Meta, for example) are using their power to break the law, but something can be unfair and unethical, and still be legal.

LAUNCHES

🍓OpenAI’s Strawberry: Here in 2 weeks? 

Our Report: Following mounting speculation that OpenAI’s project Strawberry (an AI model that will reportedly give more accurate, multi-step, reason-based responses to complex queries) will arrive in the fall, insiders from OpenAI have leaked that it could launch within two weeks.

🔑 Key Points:

• Unlike ChatGPT, Strawberry will take 10-20 seconds to provide an answer, because it ‘thinks’ methodically and, therefore, excels in math, coding, and more subjective tasks like delivering detailed strategies.

• Insiders revealed that Strawberry will launch as a text-only model (meaning it can’t handle images), and will be integrated into ChatGPT, allowing users to select it, as a standalone option, from within the platform.

• They also divulged that while it can remember past conversations and provide highly personalized responses, the response time doesn’t justify the output, as there are still inconsistencies.

🤔 Why you should care: It’s also believed that if users pay more, they will get quicker response times, and paying ChatGPT customers are likely to get early access, with the arrival expected to bridge the gap before the highly anticipated launch of ChatGPT 5.

SPORTS

🏀 AI sports updates by ESPN

• Sports network, ESPN, is using Microsoft AI to publish AI-generated recaps of less-followed sports, such as women’s soccer and lacrosse, with humans reviewing the recaps for “quality and accuracy.”

• It will label each AI recap as “written by ESPN Generative AI Services,” and ESPN is doing this to cover underserved sports and allow their writers to focus on more detailed, investigative news coverage.

• Although ESPN is still experimenting with the feature, critics have slammed the AI recaps as basic, bland, and emotionless as they don’t include details like the significance of a player’s final game, for example.
