Google AI Plus is now available everywhere its AI plans are offered, launching in 35 new countries and territories, including the United States, and replacing what had previously been a more limited rollout tied to Google One plans. In a new update, the company says the new tier is designed to bundle access to its most advanced AI models and tools at a lower price point, targeting everyday productivity, research and creative use cases rather than enterprise customers. Google AI Plus includes access to Gemini 3 Pro and Nano Banana Pro inside the Gemini app, along with AI filmmaking tools…

OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman says the company expects to keep hiring software developers but plans to sharply slow the overall pace of workforce growth as artificial intelligence takes on more internal work. In its latest town hall meeting, Altman says OpenAI is now looking to take its foot off the gas pedal when it comes to hiring. According to Altman, AI has ascended to the point where companies that have adopted the technology can do more with less. “We’re going to keep hiring software developers, but we are for the first time, and I know every other company, every…
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warns that there’s a non-zero chance that model developers could give birth to a dangerous rogue AI model, highlighting that nobody fully knows how to control the technology. In a new NBC interview, Amodei admits that even leading AI labs do not have complete control over the systems they build, warning that uneven standards across the industry could allow dangerous models to slip through. “I think to be fair, none of us fully know how to control AI systems. I can’t tell you there’s a 100% chance that even the systems we build are perfectly reliable.…
CrowdStrike boss George Kurtz warns that North Korean spies are now using AI to quietly infiltrate US companies through remote hiring, allowing foreign operatives to gain legitimate access to corporate systems. In a new episode of the All-In Podcast at Davos, Kurtz warns that North Korean operatives are shifting from traditional cyber intrusion to identity-based compromise, where attackers pose as qualified job candidates and pass hiring screens to secure developer roles inside American firms. He notes that the activity is no longer isolated and has scaled into the hundreds, with companies unknowingly employing individuals who are not who they claim to…
Fundstrat head of research Tom Lee says the recent weakness in one stock sector is reflecting US policy pressure rather than deteriorating fundamentals. In a new CNBC interview, Lee says financials have been caught in the crosscurrents of Washington policy aimed at easing consumer costs, even as underlying business conditions remain strong. “I think the financials are being buffeted because the White House is choosing winners and losers. And right now, they want to reduce the burden on consumers by potentially capping credit card rates and maybe making it harder for institutional buying of homes. So I think this is…
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says that while an AI-powered future could deliver explosive economic growth, it could also push wealth concentration into levels that ultimately fracture society. In his new essay, dubbed The Adolescence of Technology, Amodei says that in the age of AI, economic growth and innovation would be the least of society’s worries. “But in a scenario where GDP growth is 10–20% a year, and AI is rapidly taking over the economy, yet single individuals hold appreciable fractions of the GDP, innovation is not the thing to worry about. The thing to worry about is a level of…
A new strain of Android malware is quietly infecting smartphones through modded games and popular apps, transforming unsuspecting users, including children, into participants in large-scale cybercrime operations. According to cybersecurity firm Dr. Web, the Android.Phantom trojan family is being distributed primarily through altered versions of mobile games hosted on third-party app catalogs, with Xiaomi’s GetApps platform identified as a major delivery channel. The infected apps masquerade as harmless games, many of them designed to appeal to younger users, before activating malicious code in the background. Dr. Web researchers say the malware is introduced through game updates rather than the original…
OpenAI is signaling just how valuable it believes ChatGPT’s attention is as it prepares to roll out advertising, with pricing that rivals the most premium ad inventory in media. The Information’s Ann Gehan says OpenAI has been floating ad prices of roughly $60 per 1,000 views for participants in its initial advertising pilot, a level more commonly associated with marquee live sports broadcasts than digital platforms. Gehan says OpenAI is pursuing a per-view pricing model that places ChatGPT ads at the very top end of the advertising market. “The price that OpenAI has been floating with potential participants in the…
Microsoft is unveiling Maia 200, a new in-house AI inference accelerator designed to sharply reduce the cost of running large language models at scale. In a new announcement, the company says Maia 200 is engineered specifically for inference, the phase where AI models generate responses in real time based on unseen data. Inference is a growing cost center for hyperscalers as usage of tools like Copilot and frontier models accelerates. Maia 200 is built on TSMC’s 3-nanometer process and features native FP8 and FP4 tensor cores, alongside a redesigned memory system with 216GB of HBM3e delivering 7 terabytes per second…
A legendary Fidelity investor says silver is witnessing a structural repricing driven by forces that have little to do with speculation and everything to do with industrial necessity, geopolitics and physical supply constraints. In a new X post, George Noble says that silver is witnessing a surge in demand amid the AI-driven technological revolution. Noble also highlights that companies will continue to buy the metal regardless of the price, indicating a sustained bid for physical silver. “The industrial demand trap: unlike gold, silver isn’t primarily a monetary metal. Industrial demand now represents 59% of total consumption. Solar panels. EVs. AI…
