Oracle will provide cloud services with new AMD AI chips

OpenAI plans to allow adult content and erotica in ChatGPT for verified adult users starting December 2025. This policy shift aims to "treat adult users like adults" while maintaining protections for minors. The new system will require age verification to access mature content, and users must explicitly opt-in. Simultaneously, OpenAI will ease restrictions on ChatGPT's personality to enable more human-like interactions. These changes come amid ongoing regulatory debates about AI safety for minors. OpenAI is creating an expert council to advise on healthy interactions across age groups as they balance adult freedoms with youth protection.

Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing newsrooms, impacting content creation and audience engagement through tools like natural language processing and machine learning. AI offers benefits including automation of routine tasks, enhanced data analysis for storytelling, and improved content personalization. However, challenges exist around ethical concerns, job security fears, and maintaining transparency. Newsrooms must both implement AI tools and report on AI's societal impacts across sectors. The future requires collaboration between technologists, journalists, and ethicists to harness AI's potential while preserving journalistic integrity.

Citigroup's implementation of AI tools has freed up 100,000 developer hours weekly, with its Citi Squad coding assistant completing over 220,000 automated code reviews in one quarter. The bank's AI strategy includes Citi Stylus for document analysis and Citi Assist for internal knowledge access. These tools operate on modernized infrastructure following the retirement of 2,000 legacy applications. The initiative reflects broader financial industry trends, with competitors seeing up to 20% productivity increases from similar AI implementations. Citigroup's continuing tech investments of $2.4 billion in Q1 2025 demonstrate its commitment to AI-driven operational strategy.

Oracle is partnering with AMD to integrate 50,000 MI450 AI chips into its cloud services starting in Q3 2026, with further expansion planned for 2027. The collaboration leverages AMD's "Helios" rack design for AI superclusters, helping Oracle meet growing demand for advanced AI infrastructure while giving AMD another major client in the competitive AI hardware market.
