1. OpenAI Tries to 'Uncensor' ChatGPT

OpenAI is making headlines with its latest policy change aimed at embracing "intellectual freedom" in its AI models. The company is revising how ChatGPT is trained to ensure it can handle challenging or controversial topics with multiple perspectives. This move, possibly influenced by recent political shifts in the U.S., seeks to reduce biases and increase the range of topics ChatGPT can discuss. OpenAI emphasizes that while the AI will remain neutral on controversial issues, it will continue to provide context and refuse to support falsehoods. This shift is seen as part of a broader change in Silicon Valley's approach to AI safety and user control.
