Apple is making big App Store changes in Europe over new rules. Could it mean more iPhone hacking?

It’s not just Elon Musk: ChatGPT-maker OpenAI confronting a mountain of legal challenges

[ad_1] After a year of basking in global fame, the San Francisco company OpenAI is now confronting a multitude of challenges that could threaten its position at the vanguard of artificial intelligence research.Some of its conflicts stem from decisions made well before the debut of ChatGPT, particularly its unusual shift from an idealistic nonprofit to a big business backed by billions of dollars in investments.
