OpenAI just shared its view on AI progress, predicting systems will soon become smart enough to make discoveries and calling for global coordination on safety, oversight, and resilience as the technology nears superintelligent territory. OpenAI said current AI systems already outperform top humans in complex intellectual tasks and are “80% of the way to an AI researcher.”

McKinsey released its State of AI 2025 survey of nearly 2K organizations, revealing that while almost every company now uses AI, most are stuck in pilots, with only a fraction achieving enterprise-wide impact or scaling agents. The survey found that 88% of companies now use AI somewhere, but most of them are in experimentation or pilot phases, with just 33% actually scaling it.

Apple is working on new satellite features, including a satellite framework for third-party apps, satellite-powered maps, richer messaging capabilities, 'natural usage' improvements, and satellite over 5G. Bringing most of these new features to market will require major upgrades to Globalstar's satellite infrastructure.

Meta has committed to invest $600B in US-based AI and VR infrastructure by 2028, marking one of the largest private tech investments in American history. The company says the initiative will create 1000s of skilled trade and operational jobs, while strengthening its position with US regulators amid ongoing antitrust and content scrutiny.

The European Commission is considering delaying key parts of its landmark AI law. The potential changes follow intense pressure from the Trump administration, a public letter from 46 European companies including Airbus and Mercedes-Benz, and separate criticism from tech giants like Meta.
