Florida's AG launches a probe into OpenAI and ChatGPT, saying its data could fall "into the hands of America's enemies" and citing a mass shooter's ChatGPT use (Juby Babu/Reuters)
THE SO WHAT
AI vendors are now in the same political bucket as social networks after mass shootings — expect subpoenas, not just hearings. If you're deploying LLMs at scale, assume state AG scrutiny on data handling and content outcomes and get your legal, policy, and logging story tight now.

Applied AIGoogle and Intel deepen AI infrastructure partnership
Custom CPU co-development between Google and Intel is a signal that general-purpose x86 isn’t enough for AI-era workloads — hyperscalers want silicon tuned to their orchestration and cost curves. If you’re betting on “off-the-shelf” compute, assume your unit economics will be benchmarked against vertically co-designed stacks like this one.
Applied AIGoogle says the Gemini app can now generate interactive 3D models and simulations; users must select the Pro model in the prompt bar (Emma Roth/The Verge)
3D models and simulations inside Gemini move the assistant from text explainer to lightweight CAD and physics sandbox — that’s a direct shot at how early-stage design and education workflows start. If your product relies on static 3D viewers or canned simulations, assume the “first draft” now happens in a chat window, not your app.
An IBM exec built an AI agent to prep for meetings — and said it saved hours every week
A senior IBM exec hand-building “Digital Dave” to prep meetings is the pattern — leaders aren’t waiting for corporate rollouts, they’re scripting their own agents to claw back calendar time. If your leadership team isn’t dogfooding similar agents, you’re already behind on understanding where the real leverage and failure modes are in agentic workflows.
Applied AIThe 70-Person AI Image Startup Taking on Silicon Valley's Giants
A 70-person image model shop pushing into “physical AI” is a tell — the next fight isn’t just prettier pictures, it’s vision models wired into robots, AR, and industrial systems. If your robotics or spatial computing roadmap assumes generic vision from the big labs, expect specialized players like this to set the quality bar and pricing pressure.
