OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman says the United States faces several risks that could weaken its position on the global stage. In an interview at BlackRock’s US Infrastructure Summit, Altman warns that infrastructure constraints and global competition could threaten America’s position in the AI race. He says one of his biggest concerns is whether the country can maintain the physical infrastructure needed to build and run large-scale AI systems. “There’s been a ton of noise made about the global supply chain dependence and US infrastructure. I don’t have anything new or deep to say there, but I can’t overstate how…

Elon Musk and Stanley Druckenmiller believe that the economic impacts of AI could force governments to implement a universal income. In an interview with Peter Diamandis at the 2026 Abundance Summit, Elon Musk says AI-driven productivity gains could eventually push economies toward deflation as the prices of goods and services collapse. According to Musk, the abundance generated by AI would far surpass the money supply, forcing governments to distribute money to people. “We’ll basically just issue money to people, you know, and really just output of goods and services will so far exceed the money supply that effectively you have…
JPMorgan says the recent surge in oil prices could create a shock that hits the everyday consumer the hardest. In a new interview on CNBC, JPMorgan Asset Management portfolio manager Priya Misra says markets are largely treating the spike in oil as an inflation shock, but warns the implications could be broader. “So I think the market, the rates market, is viewing this simply as an inflation shock globally… I would argue a geopolitical risk-driven rise in oil prices is a stagflationary shock. So I think the market’s focused on the inflation part. There’s the growth aspect as well. This…
Billionaire investor Jeffrey Gundlach is warning that parts of today’s private credit market resemble investment packages that helped trigger the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. In a series of new posts on X, the Bond King says one private credit fund appears to have packaged loans reminiscent of collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), which pooled together debt assets with varying risk profiles and interest levels and were sold to investors. But Gundlach says the private credit fund took it a step further to imitate CDO-squared, which are designed to repackage risky, unrated or low-rated CDO tranches into new securities. “A Private Credit…
A senior U.S. military commander says American forces are already deploying AI tools to accelerate battlefield decision-making. In a new video update posted on X, Admiral Brad Cooper, who is overseeing forces conducting Operation Epic Fury against Iran, says AI systems are now being integrated into military operations. Cooper says the technology is helping commanders process large volumes of intelligence faster than traditional methods allow. “First, our warfighters are leveraging a variety of advanced AI tools. These systems help us see through vast amounts of data in seconds so our leaders can cut through the noise and make smarter decisions…
An insurance company says OpenAI’s ChatGPT helped trigger a costly legal mess after generating a fake case and encouraging a woman to reopen a settled dispute. Nippon Life Insurance Company is suing OpenAI, claiming that ChatGPT produced questionable legal filings that forced the firm to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars defending itself in court, reports the New York Post. The dispute centers on Graciela Dela Torre, an Illinois resident who had previously filed a disability claim against the insurer over carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow she suffered on the job in 2019. Court documents show Dela Torre originally…
Microsoft security researchers say malicious browser extensions impersonating AI assistant tools have spread to roughly 900,000 installs, quietly harvesting chat data and browsing activity from users. Microsoft Defender investigators say the extensions specifically target the rapidly growing ecosystem of AI productivity tools embedded inside Chromium-based browsers such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. The campaign is designed to exploit the surge in AI-assisted workflows, where employees regularly interact with platforms like ChatGPT and DeepSeek directly inside their browser. Microsoft says the malicious tools are distributed through the Chrome Web Store and present themselves as legitimate AI productivity extensions, using familiar…
The cloud-based AI writing assistant Grammarly is facing a new class action lawsuit that accuses the company of exploiting the names of well-known journalists and authors to sell AI writing feedback. In a lawsuit filed with the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, award-winning journalist Julia Angwin, on behalf of all class members, alleges that Grammarly violated privacy and publicity laws by using the identities of writers and editors without their consent. Angwin claims that the company sold its “Expert Review” feature for $12 a month, which allows users to upload writing and receive feedback presented as…
Elon Musk says a new AI system being developed jointly by Tesla and xAI could eventually replicate the functions performed by entire companies, including Microsoft. In a new post on X, Musk calls the AI system “Macrohard,” also referred to as “Digital Optimus,” which he says will combine Tesla hardware with xAI’s Grok model. According to Musk, the system will rely on Grok as the decision-making layer while another component handles real-time computer interaction. “Macrohard or Digital Optimus is a joint xAI-Tesla project, coming as part of Tesla’s investment agreement with xAI. Grok is the master conductor/navigator with a deep…
Goldman Sachs says AI could eliminate roughly one million US jobs annually as the technology diffuses across corporate America. In a new Bloomberg interview, Goldman Sachs managing director Matthew Weir affirms the bank’s house call that AI will destroy one million US jobs per year. While the scale of AI job destruction looks shocking, Weir zooms out to paint a clear picture of the US labor market. “Now certainly, AI is going to boost productivity, and unfortunately, it is going to displace workers. But as you mentioned, there’s a tremendous amount of new job creation each year. Bear with me,…
