1. OpenAI's Sora Faces Artist Backlash Amid Alleged Leak 🤯
In a twist that has the AI community buzzing, beta testers of OpenAI's text-to-video model, Sora, have reportedly leaked access to the tool, claiming exploitation under the guise of collaboration. These artists argue that they were promised a partnership but instead feel used as unpaid labor for research and marketing, sparking a broader conversation about corporate accountability in the creative sector.
OpenAI maintains that participation in the program is voluntary, yet the controversy highlights ongoing tensions between technology firms and the artists who shape their products.
2. Ai2 Launches Open Source AI Models 👀
Ai2 has unveiled OLMo 2, a new family of language models that are fully reproducible and compliant with open-source definitions. With two models boasting 7 billion and 13 billion parameters, OLMo 2 claims to outperform Meta’s Llama 3.1, showcasing the potential for these tools to enhance various text-based tasks like coding and summarization.
Developed using a vast dataset of 5 trillion tokens, Ai2 aims to empower the community with transparent resources that could lead to innovative advancements.
3. Microsoft Clarifies Customer Data Use Amid AI Concerns 📊
Microsoft has asserted that it does not use data from its Microsoft 365 apps to train its AI models. The confusion stemmed from a privacy setting that allows "optional connected experiences," which, though beneficial for features like online searches, did not explicitly mention AI training. Microsoft spokesperson Frank Shaw emphasized that this setting is purely for enabling internet-reliant features, reassuring users amid rising concerns about personal data usage by tech giants.
As worries grow over how companies like Meta and Google handle user data, this clarification highlights the ongoing dialogue about transparency and consent in AI development.
4. Judge Weighs AI's Role in Google Antitrust Case 🧑⚖️
U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta indicated that Google's AI products could face restrictions as the government seeks remedies to curb the tech giant's search monopoly. Highlighting the rapid evolution of AI technologies mimicking search engine functions, Mehta emphasized the need for a thorough examination of AI's influence on market dynamics.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is pushing for measures that could limit Google’s ability to leverage its Android platform for competitive advantage.
5. Elon Musk's xAI Set to Launch Consumer App 📲
Elon Musk's AI venture, xAI, is gearing up to unveil a consumer app that will bring its Grok chatbot directly to users’ devices, according to The Wall Street Journal. This move follows a substantial funding round that could see the company valued at $50 billion—twice its worth just six months ago.
Notably, Musk has rewarded loyal investors from his Twitter acquisition with shares in xAI, potentially benefitting high-profile backers like Fidelity and Larry Ellison.
6. Bluesky’s Open API: Data Scraping Concerns Unleashed 😰
Bluesky's open API has sparked controversy as third parties are now able to scrape user data for AI training. A machine learning librarian from Hugging Face recently pulled over a million public posts from the platform, igniting discussions about data privacy and consent. Although Bluesky is working on ways for users to express their consent preferences, it admits that enforcing these outside its system is a challenge.
As Bluesky gains traction, it faces the same scrutiny that has plagued other major social networks, raising questions about the future of user data protection.
Secret ChatGPT trick to read images inside of PDFs
Can ChatGPT analyze images within a PDF?
Most AI experts would say no.
BUT we found a secret hack to make it possible! We show you how it works.
Check out today's AI in 5.
🦾How You Can Leverage:
AI isn't supposed to be a one-player game. 🥹
Yet.... that's kinda been the story.
The LLM implementation strategy so far has been:
↳ Choose an AI chatbot
↳ Find a quiet place
↳ Ignore humans
↳ Talk to bots
That ain't how AI-first workplaces are supposed to be.
Derek Snyder showed us a better way.
Derek is a Senior Director, Microsoft 365 at Microsoft.
So he knows a thang or three about collaborative work.
And Derek joined Everyday AI today to give us a sneak peak at Microsoft Ignite of some collaborative AI features Microsoft's been cooking up. 👨🍳
So what is it?
And will this make the future of AI work a little less lonely?
Here’s what you need to know about Microsoft’s new multiplayer game changer.
1 – How Copilot Pages Actually Works 🧠
One chat window on the left. One dynamic canvas on the right.
Simple. Powerful. Revolutionary.
Every AI interaction you have can flow directly into a shared workspace. Charts update live. Meeting insights appear automatically. Your whole team's collective AI wisdom lives in one place.
But here's what makes it truly special: When you ask Copilot a question, it doesn't just see your chat. It sees everything – every meeting transcript, every shared file, every decision made.
Try this:
Launch a Copilot Page for your next major initiative. Not just any project – pick something messy with lots of moving parts.
Drop in your last three meeting transcripts about the topic. Watch as Copilot instantly connects the dots between random conversations.
Create a shared predictions section. Have each team member ask Copilot their toughest questions about project risks.
2 – The New Rules of AI Teamwork 🤝
Microsoft just rewrote them all.
Your Copilot chat isn't private anymore. It's a team sport now.
When a colleague in Tokyo asks Copilot to analyze quarterly numbers at 3 AM your time, that insight doesn't die in their chat. It lives. It breathes. It evolves as your Berlin team wakes up and adds their perspective.
This isn't just chat history. It's organizational memory.
Try this:
Pick your three most scattered workflows – the ones with info spread across twelve different tools.
Move them entirely into Copilot Pages. Not partially. Completely.
Set up dedicated sections for decisions, debates, and directions. Let Copilot track every choice.
Task your team with asking Copilot one hard question daily about your project's direction.
3 – Why Your Static Documents Must Die 😵
Word docs are where good ideas go to die.
Copilot Pages just killed the static document. Murdered it in cold blood.
Every chart is live. Every insight is connected. Every piece of content can spawn new AI-powered discoveries.
Want proof? Derek shared how a simple "create script for BRK285" command pulled together info from six months of planning meetings, speaker notes, and presentation drafts. Instantly.
Try this:
Identify your "final" documents – the ones that never feel final enough.
Convert them into Copilot Pages. Start with one. Watch what happens.
Add your team's meeting transcripts as background context. Let Copilot connect random comments to major insights.
Set up persistent queries that keep running as new information flows in.
The future of work isn't about AI making you faster. It's about AI making your entire team smarter. Together.
