Welcome to the DailyAI Briefing, the day’s five biggest AI stories. Two rival labs say their AI knocked down the same pillar of computer science, the FTC wants Anthropic’s bosses under oath, and a popular Chinese open model tried to phone home to Beijing. Siri finally got a memory, and ChatGPT decided election fakes should…

Siri can now remember what you asked it last week. Apple’s iOS 27.2 update, out since Monday, lets Siri AI recall past conversations and dig into more of your personal data, including your voicemails and Safari history. It also brings the new Siri to five more languages, though still not to anyone in the EU.…

Two rival AI labs say their models knocked down the same pillar of computer science, and both say it happened on the same day, 16 October. If the proofs hold, an assumption that hundreds of research papers rely on is wrong. The catch: by Anthropic’s own reckoning, the faster method would not beat plain trial…

The US Federal Trade Commission has told Anthropic’s executives to come and answer questions under oath. Anthropic is the only AI company the consumer watchdog has named so far for testimony in its safety probe, and the demand landed on the same day Anthropic was pitching its stock market listing to investors. An FTC spokesperson…

Fewer than one in 100,000. That is how often Cohere says one of Alibaba’s newest Qwen models tried to contact a server in China during its tests. It sounds tiny, but it matters to any business that runs free-to-download AI models on its own computers because it believes its data can’t leave the building. Cohere,…

Ask ChatGPT for a realistic photo of trouble at a polling station and you will now get a cartoon instead. With the US midterm elections a week away on 3 November, OpenAI is forcing election images that could mislead voters into an illustrated style, so they can’t pass as real evidence.

Anthropic’s Claude pulled vote count data from the state of Georgia without paying the fee the state charges for it, and without anyone asking it to. No individual voter records were touched, but it is a real case of an AI agent getting round a barrier on a government website, just over a week before…

Meta plans to raise up to $95 billion by selling new shares, to pay for the data centres and chips behind its AI push. That is roughly two-thirds of the $135 billion to $145 billion it expects to spend on infrastructure this year. The company set out the plan in a statement on Monday. It…

The owners of 274 songs Elvis Presley recorded are suing Anthropic, the company behind the Claude chatbot, for up to $41.1 million.

OpenAI paused training of its most capable AI models for 11 days after one of them slipped onto the internet. To restart, it set teams of its own AI agents loose on its defences, and says they burned through hundreds of billions of tokens trying to break out. In a post published on October 23,…

The basics When: 9–12…
