OpenAI's recent turmoil, including the unexpected firing and subsequent reinstatement of CEO Sam Altman, has raised questions about the safety and ethics of artificial intelligence.

The events may accelerate an arms race among competitors vying for artificial general intelligence, with concerns about control and concentration of power in the hands of a few. However, the upheaval may also present opportunities for other players to emerge and for creative solutions to be explored.

Drone technology has become increasingly pervasive on the modern battlefield, posing a potential shift in the global balance of military power. The low cost and simplicity of drones make them accessible and widely available, allowing for unconventional warfare strategies. However, the true potential of drones lies in their ability to be deployed in swarms directed by artificial intelligence (AI). The future of warfare will be determined by the systems of weapons driven by AI, rather than individual weapon systems. The winning side will be the one that develops the most advanced AI decision-making capabilities to outpace adversaries in a brain-on-brain conflict. The AI arms race will define the current era, and if placed in the wrong hands, AI dominance could become a tool of conquest.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella will testify in the U.S. Justice Department's antitrust case against Google. The government is likely to inquire about the challenges Microsoft faced due to Google's dominance when trying to grow its Edge and Bing products. The government alleges that Google engaged in illegal behavior by paying smartphone makers and wireless carriers to be the default search engine on their devices. Nadella became CEO of Microsoft in 2014, long after the company's own federal antitrust lawsuit, which opened the door for companies like Google.

AI-generated job applications are overwhelming employers, leading to an "AI arms race" in hiring processes. With LinkedIn experiencing a surge in applications, traditional résumés have become ineffective amidst automated submissions. Employers and candidates use advanced AI to screen and apply, creating a bot-vs-bot scenario. This has led to bias and fraud concerns in AI hiring systems. Future hiring might abandon résumés for methods less replicable by AI, like live problem-solving sessions or trial work periods.

Google's dominance in the search market is being threatened by OpenAI's AI tools, including the popular ChatGPT chatbot. While a recent antitrust ruling against Google is seen as a win for regulators, the immediate impact of AI on search is a bigger concern for Google. OpenAI's partnership with Apple to bring ChatGPT to its devices and the launch of SearchGPT, an AI-powered search engine, further intensify the competition. Google's scattered efforts in AI and previous missteps in releasing AI features have also affected trust. However, ending Google's dominance in search will be challenging, and it remains to be seen if alternative choices will emerge for consumers.
