📋 U.S. Copyright Office sets clear rules on AI

The U.S. Copyright Office just released a new report establishing firm guidelines on AI-generated works, ruling that AI outputs alone cannot receive copyright protection while preserving rights for human creators who use AI as a tool. The 52-page report determined that copyright protection requires meaningful human authorship and creativity, not just AI generation.

Microsoft brings a DeepSeek model to its cloud

Microsoft announced that DeepSeek’s viral, powerful AI model, R1—which outpaced ChatGPT downloads and rocked US stock markets earlier this week (causing AI chip giant NVIDIA to drop $600B) because it can be trained at a fraction of the cost of other leading AI models—is available on its Azure cloud platform and GitHub, allowing Microsoft customers to integrate it into their AI applications.

SoftBank in talks to invest as much as $25B in OpenAI

Multinational Japanese tech conglomerate, Softbank, is reportedly in “advanced talks” to invest up to $25B in OpenAI. According to the Times, this deal—which hasn't yet been finalized—could be part of a larger partnership, which would see Softbank investing over $40B to develop bigger AI initiatives with OpenAI.

🎯 Anthropic CEO: “DeepSeek isn’t a threat”

Anthropic’s CEO—Dario Amodei—doesn’t see DeepSeek "themselves as adversaries," as “in interviews, they seem like smart, curious researchers who just want to make useful technology."

5 Meta AI hacks to get the most out of WhatsApp

1. Get Real-Time Information

Meta has access to the web and can answer questions or provide updates on current events, weather, and more. I will also provide source links for the information shared.

2. Ask About Photos, Generate, and Edit Images

Meta AI can generate images directly within your chat. You can also use Meta AI to edit a photo you upload, such as adding or removing objects or even animating the image. Additionally, you can ask Meta AI questions about an image you share in a chat—for example, showing a picture of a cake and asking for the recipe, or inquiring about the meaning of symbols or icons.

3. Language Translation

Simply ask Meta AI to translate a phrase from your native language into your desired language. It will provide an accurate translation in seconds and suggest alternative phrasing for formal or casual tones.

4. Get Recommendations

Instead of browsing the internet and forums, simply ask Meta AI for book suggestions, travel destinations, movies to watch, and more. By providing details about your preferences and what you're looking for, Meta AI will offer personalized recommendations for you to consider.

5. Add Meta AI to Your Group Chats

Type @MetaAI to add the assistant to your group chats, helping you and your friends generate ideas, provide information for the discussion, and more.
