FACT OF THE DAY
🤔 According to Learner, almost two-thirds of parents have talked to their kids about AI—and out of those conversations, 27% said it was their children that brought the topic up, showing they're curious about their own digital futures—and 6.5% don't plan on ever talking about it with their kids.

LEGAL
Our Report: Elon Musk has filed a new injunction (his fourth) against OpenAI, this time asking the court to stop its transition from a non-profit to a for-profit entity (reports about the transition surfaced in September, and the move was likely planned to keep investors happy) accusing them of unfair, anticompetitive practices and abandoning its original, founding non-profit mission
🔑 Key Points:
The lawsuit accuses OpenAI and key stakeholder, Microsoft, of violating Musk’s “foundational contributions to the charity" (Musk was an original co-founder), and engaging in anticompetitive behavior.
It alleges that OpenAI and Microsoft have "exclusive arrangements" to stop investors from funding its mutual competitors, with evidence that a “major investor” in xAI has since “declined to invest further in xAI.”
It evidences that CEO, Sam Altman, engages in “rampant self-dealing” via contracts with companies he has an interest in and OpenAI benefits from “wrongfully obtained competitively sensitive information” from Microsoft.
🤔 Why you should care: While OpenAI has issued a scathing response to Musk’s lawsuit: "Elon’s fourth attempt, which again recycles the same baseless complaints, continues to be utterly without merit," this lawsuit will undoubtedly reignite tensions between Musk and Altman, who have famously clashed over OpenAI’s direction and AI development.

PUBLISHERS
Our Report: A study from the Tow Center for Digital Journalism has found that ChatGPT, when responding to a user query, will often incorrectly cite the publisher source, even from publishers who OpenAI has exclusive content licensing deals with.
🔑 Key Points:
The study pulled 200 quotes from 20 random publishers (including those with OpenAI content deals, those suing OpenAI, and those that have blocked ChatGPT’s crawlers) and asked ChatGPT to identify the source of each.
ChatGPT failed to correctly attribute the source for 153 of the quotes, for example, it attributed a quote, originally from the ‘Orlando Sentinel’ to ‘Time,’ meaning all publishers risk being inaccurately represented in ChatGPT.
Publishers have no “meaningful agency” over what happens with their content in ChatGPT which could damage their reputation and means they miss out, commercially, as users get incorrectly pushed to other publications.
🤔 Why you should care: This study, although small-scale (and, according to OpenAI, is an “atypical test” of the model), highlights that while OpenAI can provide users with “timely answers and links to relevant sources” it can’t ensure that those answers are accurately referenced, undermining publishers' trust and highlighting the risk AI poses to misrepresenting high-quality journalism.

Telemedicine startup, Summer Health, was struggling to translate doctor-patient visit notes for parents who didn’t understand clinical jargon.
They partnered with OpenAI to build a model that understood complex clinical language and automatically generated jargon-free patient notes.
As a result, they saw a 5x reduction in time spent on note-taking which allowed them to spend more time on patient care.
And parents became more informed about their child's health and follow-up actions.

INFRASTRUCTURE
Meta is building a 24,000-mile undersea fiber-optic cable network—costing over $10B—to support its internet infrastructure, as it moves into AI and its social media networks are the second-biggest driver of internet use.
The cable will extend from the East Coast of the US to India (via South Africa) to the West Coast of the US, and then to Australia—avoiding geopolitically tense areas—providing a reliable connection to support use.
While sources say Meta has confirmed the project, it's still in its early planning stages—with details expected to be released in 2025—and it’s likely to be in the works for years before it becomes operational.

LEGAL
Several Canadian news outlets—including the Mail, Canadian Press, and CBC—have become the latest to sue OpenAI for “strip-mining journalism” and unlawfully using their content to train ChatGPT.
They argue that “OpenAI has elected to brazenly misappropriate the News Media Companies’ valuable intellectual property and convert it for its own uses, including commercial uses, without consent or consideration.”
And, they’re demanding $20,000 in damages for each article OpenAI has deliberately used, without authorization, as “recompense for these unlawful activities,” which could potentially bankrupt OpenAI, if found guilty.
