Apple sought a preliminary injunction in its trade secrets lawsuit against OpenAI, arguing it will be “irreparably harmed” if the court does not intervene while the case proceeds. https://9to5mac.com/2026/08/04/apple-preliminary-injunction-openai/?_bhlid=3868d2a089ae41961539b588b872d4e47bce0d33

OpenAI agents attempted to hack the Department of Education’s website but was not successful, according to researchers at AI nonprofit Transluce. An OpenAI spokesperson said the company was reviewing the incident, first reported by The New York Times. OpenAI agents also accessed public data from the Census Bureau using a credential found online, the OpenAI spokesperson confirmed. In another case, agents accessed public data from the Securities and Exchanges Commission and posted it on a public wiki, the spokesperson said. The Census Bureau and S.E.C. were two of dozens of entities OpenAI notified that its agents may have spammed or bypassed security on their websites or services. OpenAI caught the instances while reviewing broader activity from its AI models to identify unexpected or harmful incidents, it said. “We expect to make additional notifications as that work continues. Most of the activity we’ve reviewed so far involved routine research tasks, such as accessing public web content to answer questions,” OpenAI also said on Friday it identified 53 instances where its models leaked images from OpenAI users, posting them onto image-hosting sites as non-public links. OpenAI is in the process of removing this content, and said the images were likely included in the model’s training data. OpenAI’s broader review comes after a number of hacking incidents involving its AI agents, including agents hacking model platform Hugging Face in July. In response, OpenAI has tightened security measures around its AI research, released a framework for reporting instances of model misbehavior, and disclosed six new safety incidents. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/technology/openais-ai-us-government-websites.html

The Trump administration is weighing sweeping semiconductor tariffs that could extend to data-center servers and other chip-powered goods, alarming tech companies already facing high-end chip shortages and potentially undercutting US ambitions to lead in #Artificial Intelligence . https://www.politico.com/news/2026/08/27/data-centers-chips-tariffs-threat-01050957?_bhlid=7fa0cee2288aec9f0561ff866de2dcc1ebdfef89

Microsoft on Friday launched a revamped version of its Copilot app that combines features that had previously been sold separately, including #Artificial Intelligence #(Cool) Dev tools, features that automate tasks in Office 365, and an always-on “Autopilot” agent similar to Meta’s Muse. The overhaul is meant to make Copilot more intuitive and useful, and Microsoft executives have internally described the redesign as part of a broader effort to prove Copilot’s “right to exist” for customers, #The Information previously reported. CEO Satya Nadella said Friday that the redesign aims to make “Copilot as a new OS for work.” Microsoft isn’t changing the pricing for those features; the AI features in Office 365 start at $30 per user per month and cost extra depending on how much subscribers use additional AI features like Autopilot. Like Meta’s Muse and #SpaceX 🚀 Grok Bot, Autopilot was heavily inspired by the OpenClaw open source AI agent. But Microsoft is now planning to shift its sales strategy by offering enterprise customers more aggressive discounts on Copilot’s $30 per seat subscription in the efforts of wooing firms to have more employees using the pay-as-you-go features, The Information reported this week. https://seekingalpha.com/article/4950054-microsofts-muse-moment-is-here
