Good morning! Today is Tuesday, April 22, 2025. We have some exciting AI news today, with Amazon introducing its next-generation Nova models and the announcement of the SuperAI Summit 2025 in Singapore. Let's dive into the top stories shaping the AI landscape.

1. Amazon Just Made Evaluating AI Models as Easy as Testing Code

Amazon has launched a powerful new framework that lets developers automatically evaluate generative AI models using its latest Nova models. Instead of relying on slow and costly human reviews, teams can now run scalable, automated tests to check for accuracy, fairness, cost, latency, and more—just like unit tests in software development. The system works across different models, supports custom metrics, and even lets you use an AI model to judge the output of another. Built on AWS with a simple UI, it helps teams speed up development, track performance, and stay on top of new model releases.

3. Google on Trial: DOJ Warns AI Could Cement Its Search Monopoly

The U.S. government just kicked off a landmark antitrust trial against Google, arguing the tech giant could use AI to lock in its dominance over online search. The Department of Justice is pushing for dramatic remedies—like forcing Google to sell Chrome and end exclusive deals with device makers. Prosecutors say Google’s AI tools, including its Gemini app, are helping steer users back to its search engine, threatening competition. With AI leaders like OpenAI’s product head expected to testify, the outcome could reshape the future of how we access information online.

4. The Real World Is AI’s Next Playground

AI is stepping off your screen and into your life — literally. From smart glasses and wearable rings to humanoid robots, a new wave of AI-powered hardware is transforming how we interact with machines. This shift, called spatial computing, blends AI with sensors, XR, and real-time data to help devices understand the world around them. Companies like OpenAI and Meta are racing to build this AI-first future, where your assistant doesn't live in an app — it lives on your face, in your ears, and on your wrist. Welcome to the era of physical AI.

5. ChatGPT Search Surges in Europe — But Can It Challenge Google?

ChatGPT’s built-in search feature is exploding in popularity across Europe, growing from 11.2M to 41.3M monthly users in just six months. This tool lets users pull real-time info from the web right inside ChatGPT — and it's starting to chip away at Google’s dominance. But with great growth comes regulation: if it crosses 45M users, it’ll face tougher EU rules under the Digital Services Act. While adoption is booming, studies still question its accuracy compared to traditional search engines.

6. Columbia Dropout Raises $5.3M to Build the Ultimate AI Cheating Tool

After getting suspended for building an AI tool to cheat in job interviews, 21-year-old Roy Lee has raised $5.3M to scale it up. His startup, Cluely, lets users “cheat on everything” — from coding tests to sales calls — using a stealthy browser window powered by AI. Despite its polarizing launch video (think Black Mirror vibes), the tool is already pulling in over $3M in annual revenue. Love it or hate it, Cluely is betting that AI “shortcuts” are the future — and investors are buying in.
