2/ OpenAI Just Raised $6.6B – Here’s Why It Matters

OpenAI just secured $6.6 billion in new funding, pushing its valuation to $157 billion. With over 250 million people using ChatGPT weekly, the company plans to ramp up AI research, expand compute power, and build more tools to solve complex problems. The goal? To make advanced AI accessible to all while partnering with governments and businesses to shape a future powered by AI.

3/ Can Google’s New AI Outsmart You?

Google is stepping up its AI game, working on reasoning software similar to OpenAI’s model. Their teams are focused on solving complex problems in areas like math and programming, aiming to rival OpenAI's ChatGPT. Though Google has been slower with product releases, they're cautious about ethics and trust. Recent breakthroughs, like their AlphaProof and AlphaGeometry models, have shown strong results, and Google’s AI assistant, Astra, could bring even more exciting features by year’s end. It’s a close race, and Google’s still in it to win it.

4/ How AI-Driven AlphaChip is Redefining Chip Design

Google's AlphaChip uses AI to transform computer chip design through reinforcement learning, producing advanced layouts in hours rather than months. It has played a key role in designing Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) and other high-performance chips. Companies like MediaTek have adopted AlphaChip to improve their designs, enhancing the performance of devices like smartphones. With AlphaChip's influence, AI is shaping the future of faster, more efficient chip designs.

5/ AI Can't Replace Human Debate—And Here's Why

AI might be all the rage, but according to a new paper by debate experts Brett Bricker and Jacob Justice, it’s actually making debate skills more essential. They argue that debate teaches critical thinking, clear communication, and empathy—skills AI can’t match. While AI encourages people to stay in their bubbles, debate forces students to engage with opposing views and understand different perspectives. As AI becomes more ingrained in education, they stress the need for guidelines to ensure students still gain the benefits of human-driven learning.
