Australia's government has summoned OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei to appear at a parliamentary inquiry into artificial intelligence, marking an escalation of regulatory pressure on major AI companies. The summons was reported by both Al Jazeera and Reuters.
Separately, internal documents revealed that OpenAI executives expressed concern about the "optics" of content that might appear on Hacker News. The discussion centered on an ongoing lawsuit by the Authors Guild.
The Authors Guild lawsuit alleges OpenAI knowingly used copyrighted works to train its language models, claiming mass book piracy. The article linked in the Hacker News discussion states that top executives at OpenAI knew the practice was illegal.
In other AI developments, the Abu Dhabi-based Global Institute for Disease Elimination (Glide) announced it is bringing the UAE's disease-prevention expertise to New York. Chief executive Dr. Farida Al Hosani told The National that AI could help close long-standing gaps in healthcare access.
