  • OpenAI has introduced a new AI-driven jobs platform that matches employers with candidates using advanced algorithms.

  • The platform analyzes both employer requirements and job seeker capabilities for more precise pairing.

  • It's designed to benefit both large corporations and small businesses or local governments seeking specialized AI talent.

  • Anthropic has joined the White House’s “Pledge to America’s Youth,” committing to invest in AI education nationwide.

  • The pledge involves support for students and educators, aiming to prepare the next generation for an AI-powered future.

  • Anthropic reinforced this commitment at a White House AI Education Taskforce event.

  • Anthropic agreed to a $1.5 billion settlement—roughly $3,000 per book—with authors over unauthorized use of copyrighted works in AI training.

  • The deal covers about 500,000 works and represents the largest recovery in U.S. copyright litigation history.

  • The settlement mandates the destruction of previously used materials and applies only to past violations, with no future usage licenses granted post-August 25, 2025.

  • The EU fined Google approximately $3.5 billion (€2.95 billion) for using its dominance in ad-tech tools to steer business to its own exchange.

  • This is the EU’s second-largest antitrust fine ever; Google has 60 days to propose remedies, with divestiture being a possibility.

  • U.S. President Trump called the fine discriminatory and threatened a trade investigation in response.

  • Tesla’s board has proposed a nearly $1 trillion pay package for Elon Musk, contingent on achieving milestones like deploying 1 million robotaxis and 1 million humanoid robots.

  • The award builds on a recent interim package (~$29 billion); Musk must remain CEO for several years and greatly increase Tesla’s valuation to earn the full amount.

  • Despite legal hurdles—Tesla’s 2018 plan was voided—shareholder approval is now sought as the company bets on Musk’s vision in pushing toward AI and robotics
