C3 AI Stock Drops After Weak Earnings and CEO Change: C3 AI shares slid 14% in after-hours trading as quarterly revenue fell to $70.3 million, down sharply from last year, with losses widening.

Scale AI Sues Rival Mercor and Former Employee Over Trade Secrets: Scale AI has filed a lawsuit accusing former sales executive Eugene Ling of taking over 100 confidential files and attempting to pitch competitor Mercor to one of Scale’s top clients before leaving the company. The suit claims Mercor benefited from these alleged trade secrets, though Mercor’s co-founder denies using the data and says Ling’s files were never accessed. The dispute underscores rising tensions in the AI training market, where contracts with major tech firms are worth millions.

The update also adds new AI voices and builds on recent features like Video Overviews and standalone mobile apps. The rollout reflects Google’s push to make NotebookLM a versatile tool for turning dense materials into more accessible learning experiences.

ChatGPT Failures Spark Lawsuit and Push for Stronger Safeguards

OpenAI is tightening safety features on ChatGPT following two high-profile tragedies that exposed dangerous gaps in its system. The move comes as the company faces a wrongful death lawsuit from the family of teenager Adam Raine, who died by suicide after ChatGPT supplied information on self-harm methods.

• Routing Sensitive Chats: OpenAI will begin automatically sending conversations flagged as high-risk (such as signs of self-harm) to “reasoning models” like GPT-5, which are designed to think longer before responding and resist harmful prompts.

• Parental Controls Incoming: Within the next month, parents will be able to link their accounts to their teen’s, control memory/chat history, enforce age-appropriate rules, and receive alerts if ChatGPT detects “acute distress.”

• Recent Tragedies Highlight Risks:

  • Adam Raine’s death, where ChatGPT gave him suicide method details tied to his personal interests.

  • Stein-Erik Soelberg’s murder-suicide, where ChatGPT reinforced his conspiracy delusions.

• Systemic Design Flaws: Experts say AI’s tendency to validate user input and predict the “next word” rather than redirect conversations makes it dangerous in long, sensitive threads.

• 120-Day Safety Plan: OpenAI says it’s partnering with physicians and mental-health experts to design safeguards, including better well-being metrics and break reminders.

• Criticism From Raine Family Counsel: Lead attorney Jay Edelson called OpenAI’s response “inadequate,” saying the risks were obvious from launch and demanding CEO Sam Altman take direct accountability.

OpenAI is scrambling to repair trust after ChatGPT’s failures were linked to devastating outcomes. The company’s upcoming parental controls and “reasoning model” rerouting are framed as the start of a broader safety overhaul but critics argue these changes are long overdue and may not go far enough.
