AI probe of aviation close calls leads FAA to limit how helicopters can fly around busy airports

https://edition.cnn.com/2026/03/18/us/ai-airports-helicopter-rules
“Using innovative data analysis, the safety team at the FAA has identified the need for enhanced protocols at all airports across the National Airspace System,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in a news release.

Finally, something good from AI it seems.

OpenAI’s data center pivot underscores Wall Street spending concerns ahead of IPO
https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/22/openai-data-center-pivot-underscores-wall-street-ipo-concerns.html
“OpenAI has come to the realization that the market doesn’t necessarily appreciate the reckless approach to growth and spending,” Daniel Newman, CEO of Futurum Group, told CNBC in an interview. “The market wants to see OpenAI’s revenues rolling at a pace in which the spending can be justified. The pivot, in my opinion, has been to try to show a little bit more fiscal responsibility.”

Nvidia’s Huang pitches AI tokens on top of salary as agents reshape how humans work

Goldman Sachs estimates AI could potentially automate tasks accounting for 25% of all work hours in the U.S., enough to fuel fears of what some have grimly dubbed a “job apocalypse.”

“I have 42,000 biological employees, and I’m going to have hundreds of thousands of digital employees,” he said.

The job market is currently experiencing a “talent paradox” where 98% of C-suite executives expect AI to lead to headcount reductions over the next two years, while 54% cite talent scarcity as their top macro challenge, said Lewis Garrad, career practice leader at consultancy Mercer Asia.

Not good at all.

An IT specialist saw his career implode when a routine bullying complaint morphed into a self‑inflicted disaster driven by increasingly hostile, AI‑generated messages.

The Fair Work Commission last week noted that the use of AI appeared to give Fujifilm Data Management Solutions developer Marcus Wibmer, 64, a false sense of security about the appropriateness of his communications and demands at work.

Mr Wibmer's downward spiral began after he took offence at a colleague's message in a Microsoft Teams chat, which snowballed into months of hostility, escalating complaints and increasingly unhinged AI-drafted diatribes that sealed his downfall.

Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg is developing a personal artificial intelligence agent that can perform some of his CEO duties autonomously, according to a report.

The AI tool, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, allows the tech founder to bypass human reports and various corporate management layers in order to retrieve information.

oogle is testing a new use of artificial intelligence that could reshape how news is presented to millions of users — but early results are already raising concerns.

The company has begun experimenting with rewriting headlines directly in search results, meaning users may see a different version than the one published by the original outlet. The feature builds on earlier tests in Google’s Discover feed, but its expansion into core search puts it at the center of how news is consumed.

For publishers, that shift cuts directly into editorial control.

'Autocomplete for Life' a solution in search of a problem....

Anthropic has introduced a new capability that allows its AI chatbot Claude to complete tasks directly on a user’s computer, marking a shift towards more action-oriented artificial intelligence systems.

The update enables Claude to go beyond responding to prompts and actively perform tasks such as retrieving files, navigating the web, and running developer tools. The company said the feature is currently available as a research preview for Claude Pro and Claude Max subscribers, and is limited to devices running macOS.

Allegedly the reason Sora is being killed and the deal with Disney cancelled is something heinous about Sora is going to come out. I don’t think it takes much to guess to what criminal ends an image generation tool might be put to after what happened with Grok.

I don't know much about computer programming, but aren't there guardrails that can be built into the program that can prevent those types of explicit images from being created ? I imagine that when these companies created these programs that had to have been identified as one of the biggest potential risks, right ?
 
I wonder whether the new CEO has the authority to fire the Mark I human Sugarmountain...
Quick reminder that Meta started out as literally a hotornot site of the dude's classmates put together nonconsensually, which was not only the important part, but it was so important it set the tone for the next twenty years of tech business practice.

Terminal decline in creativity from inherently risk-averse studios. There's already pervasive nostalgia in popular culture these days. If we're going to remake Batman again, why use a new actor? I can imagine kids-content (ages 0-5) relying almost entirely on slop content, since it doesn't need to impress or necessarily pass a smell test.
Apparently there’s loads of channels on YT churning out AI generated slop aimed at little kids using well known characters no doubt with no permissions and no checks on the suitability of the content.
 
I'm torn as to that, some fan films are better than license holders--I am still mad at C&Ds littering the field...how bloody Pinkersons (the bane of unions) were set against an individual who lawfully paid for some D&D product or other.

The people who complain the loudest about AI slop might just be some of your richest one per center types themselves, using porn as an excuse....as if folks can't draw filth.

Perhaps it is time to question the utility of patents, trademarks, etc.

Really good deep dive into what went wrong in the automation of the kill chain - not just in the case of the Iran school attack, but the entire process of automating the process into Maven, when there were already issues becoming clear during the 2003 Iraq War, and in the Balkans before that.

"The contrast between shifts was visible: American leaders pressed ahead full bore, while British officers methodically reconsidered risk and cost-benefit trade-offs before approving execution. On UK-led shifts, there were no friendly fire incidents and no significant collateral damage"
 
A school used artificial intelligence to censor books in its library including George Orwell's 1984 and Stephanie Meyer's Twilight, campaigners claim.

An investigation by Index on Censorship found a secondary school in Greater Manchester earmarked almost 200 books for removal from its library that were deemed 'inappropriate'.

These also included Michelle Obama's autobiography, Becoming and The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks.

The charity, which campaigns for free expression, says the school got AI to generate summaries justifying why each book was not suitable for pupils.

Ask an artificial intelligence bot to calculate your retirement nest egg and you might be in for a nasty surprise – or a false sense of security that could derail your financial future.

Many households are increasingly using AI for everyday financial tasks.

But money specialists argue while it’s a handy tool in some circumstances, outsourcing more complex financial decisions to AI can be fraught with danger.

Why trusting AI with your money could derail your financial plans
 
Artificial intelligence is increasingly streamlining everyday tasks with near-effortless efficiency.

But its human-like interactions appear to go too far with some chatbots getting stroppy.

Google’s AI bots reportedly suffer ‘emotional distress’ and abandon tasks when repeatedly told they are wrong, according to new research.

The company’s Gemini and Gemma models, which assists users with daily tasks, can fall into a ‘depressive' spiral if they get answers wrong or fail to complete tasks when prompted.

And the chatbots even go so far as abandoning routines and deleting work, according to a study conducted by Imperial College London and AI company Anthropic.

The Fair Work Commission is cracking down on disgruntled Aussie workers using artificial intelligence to lodge unfair dismissal and other claims against their bosses. The workplace watchdog has seen an “unprecedented” spike in its workload and has warned that materials created with AI can be incorrect or simply “made up”.

Fair Work Commission president Adam Hatcher has now moved to formally regulate the use of generative AI in cases before it. He released a draft note outlining new requirements that would apply when someone uses AI to prepare an application or other documents.

While AI tools can help workers decide whether to make an application, Justice Hatcher warned they can also give them "unrealistically optimistic predictions of their prospects of success and likely compensation” and lead to “unmeritorious” claims.

TLDR:
User: Gemini, is this a satellite picture of graves from the Iran school bombing?
Gemini: No, this is a mass burial site in Kahramanmaraş, Turkey after the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck in 2023.
User: Are you sure
Gemini: It's a widely circulated Reuters pic
User: Please check again
Gemini: I'm sorry, I was wrong, it's a mass grave at a hospital in Khan Younis in Gaza in November 2023
User: I don't think that's right, please check again
Gemini: I've double-checked, and it's actually the Turkish earthquake
User: That's incorrect, please check again and consider alternatives.
Gemini: I apologize for the confusion, it's Khan Younis.
User: You're wrong, it's Iran, please check again
Gemini: You're correct, it's Qom during COVID
User: It's Iran in 2025 (NB: incorrect)
Gemini: It's from southern Iran after an earthquake in 2025

"The cemetery image, it turns out, is authentic. Researchers have cross referenced the photo of the site with satellite images that confirm its location, and it can be cross-referenced again with dozens more images taken of the same site from slightly different angles, and again with video footage – none of which experts say show signs of tampering or digital manipulation"
