Anthropic, the AI company behind the popular Claude chatbot, has sparked privacy concerns after revealing it uses customer conversations to train its AI models without providing a straightforward opt-out option. According to Business Insider’s report, while Anthropic’s privacy policy technically discloses this practice, the company buries this critical information in complex legal language and makes it exceptionally difficult for users to prevent their data from being used for AI training purposes.

The AI landscape continues to evolve rapidly in 2025, with ChatGPT maintaining its dominant position as the most popular AI application according to recent data from Sensor Tower and Apptopia. Despite facing increasing competition, OpenAI’s flagship product has secured its place at the top with approximately 15 million daily active users on mobile devices alone. This represents a significant achievement for the company that helped ignite the generative AI revolution, especially as tech giants like Google, Meta, and Anthropic continue to invest heavily in their own AI offerings.

In a significant development that could impact Meta’s aggressive AI roadmap, several key researchers have departed from the company’s superintelligence team. According to Business Insider, these exits come at a critical juncture as CEO Mark Zuckerberg pushes to achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI) by 2025, a timeline that some experts consider extremely ambitious. The departures include notable figures like Ilya Sutskever, who previously co-founded OpenAI, raising questions about internal alignment on Meta’s accelerated AI strategy.

In a significant move that signals OpenAI’s serious ambitions in the healthcare sector, the AI powerhouse has recruited Nate Gross, co-founder of medical networking platform Doximity, to spearhead its healthcare initiatives. This strategic hire comes as OpenAI looks to expand the application of its advanced AI models like GPT-4 into the complex and highly regulated medical field. Gross brings valuable expertise at the intersection of technology and healthcare, having built Doximity into what’s often described as ‘LinkedIn for doctors’ with over 2 million healthcare professional users.

Recent statements from OpenAI’s Chief Scientist Ilya Sutskever have sparked important conversations about the limitations of today’s large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT. Despite impressive capabilities that have revolutionized how we interact with AI, Sutskever emphasizes that current systems remain fundamentally limited in their understanding of the world. The gap between today’s AI and artificial general intelligence (AGI) remains substantial, with LLMs lacking true comprehension of physical reality, causal relationships, and the ability to reason about novel situations in ways humans naturally do.

In a surprising twist to the AI revolution, Baby Boomers are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini to extend their careers and delay retirement. According to recent reports, older adults are flocking to AI classes specifically designed to help them navigate the rapidly evolving technological landscape. These courses are empowering a generation once thought to be technologically resistant to remain competitive in a job market that increasingly values AI literacy.
