Artificial intelligence roundup: ChatGPT, companies and controversies

NBC News' Artificial intelligence hub aggregates recent reporting on chatbots, corporate moves and safety debates, from ChatGPT and Bard to OpenAI, Anthropic and regulatory proposals.

NBC News maintains a rolling hub of coverage dedicated to Artificial intelligence, highlighting developments across chatbots, corporate strategy and public policy. The package collects front-page stories, data graphics and video explainers about ChatGPT, other chatbots and Google Bard, and surfaces recurring themes such as credibility of performance tests, platform safety and legal disputes.

The reporting chronicles major corporate and industry shifts. OpenAI publicly said it has no plans to seek a government backstop, while coverage also examines structural changes at the company and a new commercial deal with Microsoft. Other business stories include Amazon’s large corporate layoffs tied to investments in Artificial intelligence, reporting on Anthropic’s legal settlement, a Nvidia-backed start up sending an Artificial intelligence-equipped satellite to space, and analysis of emerging product categories such as AI browsers and video generators.

Safety, regulation and ethics are prominent across the feed. Articles describe a poll finding that people worry about Artificial intelligence’s broader impact while many do not expect job loss, a study suggesting some tests overstate model capabilities, and incidents that prompted changes to guardrails for OpenAI’s Sora 2 video generator after actor concerns. Lawmakers are also active: senators proposed draft legislation to ban chatbot companions for minors and other pieces examine secrecy around data center projects and calls for limits on superintelligence research.

The hub mixes feature pieces, investigative reporting and short video segments that document both technological progress and social consequences. It links to stories on hacks of AI browsers, a high-profile case involving Character.AI and a parent lawsuit, and examples of synthetic-media controversies such as a country music chart entry that may have been generated. Together the items present a cross-section of how Artificial intelligence is reshaping products, corporate strategies and policy debates in real time.
