On Wednesday, eight state attorneys general filed sweeping lawsuits, alleging that OpenAI failed to implement essential safeguards.

Businesses are moving quickly from experimenting with artificial intelligence to putting it into real workflows. The UK government says business adoption has more than doubled since December 2023, reaching 26% in March 2026. As AI moves deeper into everyday business operations, the more important question is becoming how reliably these systems perform when the details have commercial consequences. AI can produce an answer that looks correct while missing the detail that actually matters.

NVIDIA today released the full Run:ai platform as open-source software. The GPU orchestration platform, which NVIDIA acquired at the end of 2024, now serves as an open foundation for the company’s DSX AI Factory platform. Run:ai helps organizations run AI workloads on Kubernetes. It allocates GPU resources on the fly and manages workloads across their full lifecycle, from data processing and training to inference. Until now, most of that capability was available only through a commercial license.

A group of about 400 scientists is calling for the creation of an international oversight organization to establish security standards for advanced AI systems. The effort has attracted some of the most high-profile names in AI, including Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio.

Kroger Co., the largest standalone supermarket chain in the U.S., plans to eliminate roughly 3,000 corporate jobs over the next three years as part of a sweeping strategy to adopt artificial intelligence (AI) and streamline operations.

Store-level and distribution center positions will not be affected, according to an internal staff memo from CEO Greg Foran.

A vast majority of enterprise leaders report positive financial returns on their artificial intelligence (AI) investments, but only a fraction sees strong returns because of structural and leadership bottlenecks. A study from Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and market research firm GBK Collective found that while 80% of organizations experience positive ROI from AI, just 28% report strongly positive results. A primary driver of the ROI divide lies in how companies measure success.

Rebecca Scofield won a $10 million defamation verdict. Before we congratulate ourselves on a justice system that worked, we should ask what it took to get there. And what, exactly, did that victory give her back? Did it restore the nights she spent sleeping instead of worrying about her children? Did it give her back the ability to walk onto campus without fear? Did it erase the accusations from the minds of strangers who had encountered them online?

Europe wants more control over its technological future. Joe Tsai has an offer. Speaking at Wave by Vento in Turin, Alibaba’s chairman argued that open-source AI is Europe’s path to technological independence. It is an appealing message for European businesses that do not want their industrial data, operating costs and access to critical technology dictated from elsewhere. But before Europe accepts the promise, it should ask what is actually in the package.

Federal authorities have arrested a 35-year-old OpenAI engineer accused of secretly placing an advanced audio recording device inside an executive conference room at the company’s headquarters to capture sensitive conversations about its artificial intelligence (AI) technology.
