AI Safety Lockdown: OpenAI Empowers Board to Block CEO on Risky Tech Releases
OpenAI has a new safety rule: their board can stop AI tech from coming out, even if the release has Sam Altman's (OpenAI's CEO) blessing.
They've got a "preparedness" team that every month checks for risks from AI, like cyber threats and nuclear dangers.
Now, if the CEO wants to release some new AI, the board can say "Nay" if they're worried it's too risky.
As a result of this, the new rules say only AI that's not too dangerous will get released.

Apple Watch Sales Stop Dead Over Patent War
Apple is hitting the brakes on selling its new smartwatches Series 9 and Ultra 2. The halt begins in their online shop on December 21 and in brick-and-mortar stores on Christmas Eve.
The reason? They're caught up in a patent battle with Masimo, a medical tech outfit, over the nifty blood oxygen gadget in the watches.
The International Trade Commission ruled that Apple played copycat with Masimo's patents.
Meanwhile, Apple is reneging this and plans to take this matters all the way to the White House.
