🤖 AI Just Cracked a 150-Year-Old Math Problem — And That's Not Even the Biggest Story Today

from AI News Podcast | Latest AI News, Analysis & Events | Daily Inference · host AI Daily

Two rival AI assistants have each crossed one billion monthly active users, and the way people are actually using them might surprise you. OpenAI's models just produced solutions to ten long-standing math problems that had stumped researchers for decades, while a separate Anthropic model made measurable progress on one of the most famous unsolved problems in all of mathematics. Spotify is rolling out a major policy shift targeting AI-generated music, introducing new labels and cutting off algorithmic promotion for profiles that aren't real humans. Security researchers used fewer than 20 AI prompts to uncover a critical Zoom vulnerability that could let attackers silently hijack your camera and microphone — and it's a wake-up call about AI as a weapon, not just a tool. Anthropic and Apple are both quietly developing systems to watermark and tag AI-generated content, signaling that proving something is real may soon matter as much as the content itself. OpenAI's former COO is walking out the door after eight years, hinting at important problems ahead that the world will need to get right. And Mark Zuckerberg published a 6,500-word manifesto using the word 'superintelligence' 60 times — sparking fierce pushback from senators, researchers, and over 1,300 people inside the AI industry itself.Subscribe to Daily Inference: dailyinference.comLove AI?
