1. OpenAI Teams with Broadcom for Private AI Chip Rollout š¤
OpenAI has designed a custom AI chip with Broadcom and is set to begin mass production next year, using the hardware exclusively in-house. The move, timed amid intense demand and a $10 billion Broadcom order, mirrors strategies by Google and Amazon to cut costs, secure supply, and reduce dependence on Nvidia.
The report suggests a near-term change in the AI supply chain that could affect hiring, tooling choices, and vendor strategy for companies scaling AI workloads.
2. Warner Bros. Sues Midjourney Over AI-Made Characters š§āāļø
Warner Bros. filed suit against Midjourney, accusing the AI image-and-video generator of willfully creating copyrighted characters like Superman, Batman, Bugs Bunny and Tom & Jerry and removing guardrails that previously blocked such recreations.
According to Variety, the studio ā joining earlier Disney and Universal actions and using the same lawyers ā seeks statutory damages and an injunction, arguing Midjourney knowingly profits from unprotected piracy even as it expands into video and streaming.
3. OpenAI Launches Jobs Platform and Mass Certification Push š¼
OpenAI today announced a Jobs Platform and an expansion of its Academy into formal OpenAI Certifications, aiming to certify 10 million Americans by 2030 and match AI-fluent candidates with employers from Walmart to local governments.
According to OpenAI, the effort pairs free ChatGPT-based Study tools with employer-grounded training and hiring channels to increase AI fluency and reduce hiring friction for AI-capable roles.
4. Tech Chiefs Pledge Big U.S. AI Bets at White House Dinner š½ļø
President Trump hosted top tech leaders who pledged major U.S. AI investments and promised faster permitting and energy support to power data centers, framing the meeting as part of a push to outpace China and spur domestic manufacturing.
According to Bloomberg, executives including Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, Sam Altman, Sundar Pichai and Satya Nadella touted billions in planned spendingāZuckerberg claimed Meta will invest āat least $600 billionā through 2028 while Apple committed another $100 billion to U.S. manufacturingāmoves that could influence who avoids tariffs and gains regulatory favors.
5. Tesla May Invest in Muskās xAI as Shareholders Vote Next Month š¤
Tesla shareholders will vote November 6 on a proposal to let the company invest in Elon Muskās xAI ā a small investorās motion that the board is neutral on and appears alongside a separate Tesla-backed vote to massively expand Muskās 10-year pay package, according to TechCrunch.
If approved, the move would follow SpaceXās $2 billion commit to xAI and could give Tesla faster access to advanced AI tools (and marketing buzz) to support FSD, Optimus robots, and broader AI ambitions.
6. OpenAI Picks Up Alex Team to Boost Codex Capabilities š„
OpenAI is acqui-hiring Alex ā a YC-backed startup known for a āCursor for Xcodeā ā folding its team into the Codex group to strengthen AI coding assistance for iOS and macOS. Founder Daniel Edrisian said the move lets them scale their best-in-class coding agent at OpenAIās resources and reach.
For developers and founders, this signals faster, more integrated AI tooling for app development and a stronger market push toward AI-assisted coding workflows.
When only 10 CEOs out of 3,000 know their data, how can they handle AI ethics?
Your AI strategy will collapse without data discipline.
Period.
Rajeev Kapur, President of 1105 Media, asked 3,000 executives a devastatingly simple question: "Do you have good command of your first-party data?"
Only 10 hands went up.
TEN. š¤Æ
So, how do we balance the fact that every company wants AI but hardly no oneās prepared to do it the right way?
Ethical governance.
Rajeev laid out the path for us when he joined todayās show. š
1. Data: Your Secret Weapon (That Nobody's Using) š
Most execs see data as an expense.
Big mistake.
"Data is the new oil," Rajeev explains. But raw oil needs refineries.
Your untapped data goldmine is probably gathering dust while you chase shiny AI toys.
Why? Because nobody else is doing it!
Try this:
Schedule a data sprint ASAP. Get every department head in one room. Map what data you have, where it lives, and who controls it.
Then hire a data scientist (even part-time) who can transform this mess into your secret weapon. Stop treating data as a cost center and start seeing it as your untapped goldmine.
2. Your AI Ethics Dream Team Needs Outsiders š
Who should govern your AI?
Not just your usual suspects.
Rajeev suggests a radical approach: 3-4 internal people PLUS 3-4 external challengers. Think rotating frontline users. Actual customers. Legal scholars.
The real game-changer?
Tie executive bonuses to ethical outcomesānot just revenue.
Now THAT'S accountability.
Try this:
Create your ethics board next month. Include people who will say uncomfortable truths. Give them actual power.
Create a verification system for sensitive AI outputsāa rotating passcode system for finance requests, even if it "looks like the CEO" asking.
Remember: the first company that commits to ethical AI will win enormous market goodwill.
3. The Deepfake Disaster Is Already Here š
A finance employee wired $25 MILLION to deepfaked "executives."
A principal got framed with fake racial slurs after reprimanding a teacher.
This isn't sci-fi.
It's happening NOW.
Rajeev doesn't sugarcoat it: deepfakes could become as destructive as nuclear weapons because of how personally targeted they are.
Yet most companies have zero verification protocols in place.
Try this:
Test your systems against worst-case scenarios. Hire someone to actively try breaking your AI guardrails.
If Microsoft pays hackers to find vulnerabilities, shouldn't you do the same?
Then turn your privacy stance into a marketing advantage. Look at Apple's success making privacy their cornerstone. Your ethical AI stance can be a feature, not just compliance.
