OpenAI co-founder Schulman leaves for Anthropic, Brockman takes extended leave

John Schulman, a co-founder of OpenAI and key figure behind ChatGPT, has left the company to join rival AI startup Anthropic, where he plans to focus on AI alignment research.

  • Schulman was one of OpenAI's 11 original founders and led the reinforcement training efforts that fine-tuned ChatGPT

  • He recently became head of OpenAI's AI alignment research after the departure of Jan Leike to Anthropic

  • Schulman's decision was personal and driven by a desire to deepen his focus on AI alignment, not due to a lack of support from OpenAI leadership

YouTuber files class action suit over OpenAI’s scrape of creators’ transcripts

A YouTuber has filed a class-action lawsuit against OpenAI for allegedly scraping creators' video transcripts to train its AI models without permission or compensation.

  • The lawsuit claims OpenAI violated creators' intellectual property rights by using their content without consent

  • It seeks damages and an injunction to prevent further unauthorized use of YouTube transcripts

  • The case highlights growing concerns over how AI companies source training data from the web

Judge rules that Google ‘is a monopolist’ in US antitrust case

A federal judge ruled that Google is a monopolist and violated antitrust law by maintaining its monopoly in the search and advertising markets. The judge determined Google abused its position to stifle competition from rivals.

  • The ruling is a major victory for the Department of Justice in its antitrust case against Google, filed in 2020.

  • A key factor was Google's $20 billion payment to Apple in 2022 to be the default iPhone search engine, which the judge said stifled competitor growth.

  • The ruling is only about Google's liability so far, not potential remedies, which will be determined in the next phase and could range from halting certain practices to breaking up Google's search business.
