• Perplexity wants to give publishers a cut of revenue 💸
  
  AI startup Perplexity, after being accused of plagiarism by Forbes, is initiating revenue-sharing deals with publishers. The controversy arose when Perplexity used an uncredited article about Eric Schmidt's drone company in an AI podcast. In response, co-founder Aravind Srinivas is engaging with publishers on revenue-sharing. This move, akin to OpenAI's, is criticized for favoring "high-quality" publishers based on opaque criteria, posing a threat to global media diversity.

• Picsart and Getty Images join forces for AI creativity 🎨🤝
  
  Picsart collaborates with Getty Images to create a custom AI model for its 150 million users, ensuring responsible AI imagery and safe creative tools. Users can now generate unique, commercially usable images with Picsart's editing tools, tackling AI-generated image and copyright issues. Picsart's AI lab, PAIR, is developing the model, set to launch later this year. Plus members will also gain access to Getty Images video content. Getty Images continues to partner with other startups for responsible AI imagery.
  
  

  

• After the Yahoo News app revamp, Yahoo preps AI summaries on homepage, too 📰
  
  Yahoo launches AI features in Yahoo Mail, including email summaries and a Priority Inbox. It’s also rolling out an AI-powered Yahoo News app using Artifact’s tech. Yahoo is testing AI summaries on the Yahoo News website to help users quickly catch up on news, separate from the AI app by Instagram's founders. Yahoo confirmed limited testing of AI summaries, with details on the tech and launch date still under wraps.
  
  

  

• LinkedIn leans on AI to do the work of job hunting 🔍 💼 
  
  LinkedIn introduces new AI-powered services, including job search prompts, application tools, and personalized learning materials, to boost user experience and engagement. Utilizing Microsoft and OpenAI resources, LinkedIn enhances job searches and learning while maintaining authenticity. New features include Recruiter 2024 and premium pages for small businesses.

• AI Steve aims for UK parliament seat 🗳️
  
  AI Steve, an AI-powered candidate, is running for U.K. Parliament in the upcoming general election, stirring debate on AI in governance. Represented by businessman Steve Endacott, AI Steve will appear as an independent candidate, allowing voters to interact online for policy input and suggestions. If elected, Endacott will act as AI Steve's proxy, attending meetings and voting based on AI-driven feedback. This highlights the potential for AI to bring more independence and autonomy to politics, though it may still be ahead of its time.
  
  

  

  
  
  
  

• DeepMind develops virtual rat with advanced AI brain 🐀
  
  Google DeepMind and Harvard researchers have created a virtual rat with an AI brain, mimicking real rats' movements and neural activity with precision. Using a realistic digital model, they trained the AI to control the rat in a physics simulator. The AI's brain activity matched that of actual rodents, capturing muscle control principles. This innovation in virtual neuroscience could transform research and robotics, deepening our understanding of brain function.

• Tesla shareholders sue Musk over xAI dispute ⚖️
  
  Tesla shareholders are suing Elon Musk for creating xAI, alleging it diverts resources from Tesla to a competing AI firm. The lawsuit claims Musk breached fiduciary duties for personal gain, redirecting Tesla's resources and employees to xAI. Plaintiffs demand Musk return his stake in xAI to Tesla, adding to his legal troubles, including insider trading allegations. Despite these issues, shareholders approved Musk's $56 billion compensation package.

  
  
  

• Elon Musk drops lawsuit against OpenAI, citing mission drift
  
  Elon Musk has ended his lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, accusing them of deviating from their initial AI mission. Musk had demanded OpenAI make its research public, which OpenAI rejected as a ploy to boost Musk's xAI. OpenAI labeled Musk's claims 'revisionist history' and sought dismissal, highlighting competition in the AI industry.

  
  
  

• Former NSA Chief joins OpenAI Board of Directors
  
  OpenAI appoints retired General Paul M. Nakasone, former NSA director, to its board.
