Elon Musk vs. OpenAI and Other Artificial Intelligence Battles
The world of artificial intelligence continues to make headlines. While Elon Musk<Testimony about artificial intelligence> testifies in a lawsuit against OpenAI claiming he founded the company to avoid a 'Terminator' scenario, other companies like Amazon and Meta advance with new tools that promise to change our relationship with technology. From voice assistants for shopping to disease detectors in children, artificial intelligence continues to prove it can be both a powerful tool and a legal battlefield.

**Elon Musk takes on OpenAI again.** In a trial that has kept the tech industry on edge, Musk gave sworn testimony repeating a story he had already told in interviews and in the biography written by Walter Isaacson: he claims he founded OpenAI with Sam Altman to prevent artificial intelligence from turning against humanity. The judge had to warn both parties to moderate their use of social media to avoid making things worse outside the courtroom.
**Amazon integrates OpenAI tools on its platform.** Just one day after Microsoft agreed to end its exclusive rights over OpenAI models, Amazon announced a series of offerings that include a new autonomous agent service. The war to offer artificial intelligence in the cloud just heated up.
**Amazon also launches voice questions with spoken answers.** The new 'Join the chat' feature allows you to ask questions about products and receive AI-generated responses in audio format. Reading endless reviews will no longer be necessary.
**OpenAI asks its programming agent not to talk about creatures.** In the internal instructions for Codex, OpenAI's programming agent, there is a list of creatures that should not be mentioned: goblins, gremlins, raccoons, trolls, ogres, pigeons and other animals, 'unless it is absolutely and unequivocally relevant.' Someone at the company clearly has issues with fantasy.
**More than 700 workers training Meta's artificial intelligence could lose their jobs.** Employees of a Meta contractor in Ireland are at risk following cuts affecting those dedicated to training the company's machine learning systems.
**IBM launches Bob, a platform to control software development costs.** The proposal aims to fight accumulated technical debt and governance problems in the software lifecycle, which clashes with the speed of programming assistants.
**Kakao Mobility presents plans for level 4 autonomous driving.** The Korean company's physical artificial intelligence division detailed its roadmap for developing autonomous driving technologies without the need for a human driver.
