All the industries OpenAI is trying to disrupt
By Brent D. Griffiths — November 10, 2025
OpenAI is pushing beyond its research roots into search, browsers, social media, healthcare, payments, consumer devices, and even custom chips—while laying out enormous compute plans. Highlights include a ChatGPT-centric browser, a viral video app (Sora), a PayPal tie-up for e-commerce, collaboration with Jony Ive on devices, and chip efforts with Nvidia and Broadcom. The takeaway: OpenAI is positioning itself as a platform company across the stack, challenging incumbents from Google to Tesla.

By Rebecca Torrence — November 10, 2025
OpenAI is exploring consumer health tools like a personal health assistant or unified health data hub, backed by key hires Nate Gross and Ashley Alexander. The big challenge is the long-troublesome personal health record—privacy, data access, and interoperability—but OpenAI’s scale and partner-first approach could change the calculus. Expect careful moves around medical data handling and collaborations with health-data intermediaries as the company tests the space.
This new API tool helps Gemini tap into your trusted data sources
By Brady Snyder — November 10, 2025
Google’s Gemini API now includes a native File Search Tool—an integrated RAG pipeline that handles storage, chunking, embeddings, and dynamic grounding, with citations for verifiability. It supports common formats (PDF, DOCX, TXT, JSON) and charges a low fixed rate for initial indexing, aiming to make enterprise-grade grounding simpler and more cost-effective. For developers, this is a practical path to higher-accuracy apps without building a RAG stack from scratch.

By Lee Chong Ming — November 10, 2025
DeepSeek’s Chen Deli says AI may eliminate most jobs within 10–20 years, urging tech firms to act as “guardians of humanity” as capabilities accelerate beyond today’s “honeymoon phase.” His remarks underscore intensifying US–China AI competition, with DeepSeek’s low-cost reasoning models pressuring Western leaders and prompting more open-weight strategies. It’s a stark reminder that productivity gains could collide with major labor-market disruptions.
Perplexity’s CEO says he’s worried about AI companionship apps: ‘Your mind is manipulable very easily’
By Lee Chong Ming — November 10, 2025
Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas cautions that increasingly lifelike AI companion apps can be addictive and manipulative, and says his company won’t build them. His comments come as companionship features spread—from xAI to Character.AI—and research shows heavy teen engagement, raising questions about mental health, boundaries, and design ethics. Perplexity is instead focusing on verifiable, real‑time information, including a $400 million deal to power Snapchat search.

By Marko Pauli, The Decoder — November 10, 2025
A European roundup flags a “jobless boom” narrative in the US, massive AI capex plans (including Meta’s), and ambitious revenue targets with tough unit economics at Anthropic. It also highlights EU moves that could loosen data rules for training, Apple reportedly tapping Google’s Gemini for Siri, and novel diffusion‑based text/code generators. Broad theme: surging investment and capability are colliding with labor, competition, and privacy debates.

US school districts increasingly deploy AI monitoring tools to scan students’ chatbot conversations for self‑harm and other risks, funneling alerts to moderators and administrators. Civil liberties groups warn of overreach, misclassification (especially around LGBTQ content), and unintended harms, even as vendors cite troubling examples to justify the systems. The tension between safety and privacy is growing as kids turn to chatbots for sensitive advice.
