CEO Mark Zuckerberg believes this game-changer will surpass ChatGPT as the go-to AI assistant by year-end, with features like a new image generator that captures your likeness—talk about a selfie upgrade!

3. U.S. Senators Put OpenAI on Blast Over AI Safety Concerns 🤔

Five prominent U.S. Senators just dropped a letter to OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, grilling him on the company's commitment to AI safety amid rising concerns about cybersecurity and transparency. They want answers on whether OpenAI will allocate 20% of computing resources to safety research and how they handle employee whistleblower protections.

This inquiry comes as AI regulation debates heat up, raising eyebrows about tech giants' accountability in shaping our future.

4. FTC Cracks Down on AI-Powered Price Hikes

The Federal Trade Commission is throwing shade at eight companies—including Mastercard and JPMorgan Chase—for using AI to spy on consumers and charge them different prices based on their personal data.

FTC Chair Lina M Khan is sounding the alarm, saying, "Firms harvest Americans’ personal data and put people’s privacy at risk," as the agency digs into the shady practice of surveillance pricing. The investigation could reveal how these companies are manipulating prices to squeeze more cash from unsuspecting customers.

Meta is expanding its AI assistant to 22 countries, including Argentina, Mexico, and Colombia, with new languages like French, German, and Hindi now available.
