Samsung May Build Perplexity AI Directly Into Your Phone
Samsung is reportedly in talks to invest in Perplexity and integrate the AI-powered search tool directly into its Galaxy phones. If implemented, this would bake Perplexity into Samsung's core hardware and apps, creating seamless integrations with Samsung Notes, messaging, browser, and other native applications.
This represents a significant strategic move in embedded AI, where models are integrated directly into hardware rather than just accessed through standalone apps. If successful, it could establish a serious alternative to both Apple's Siri/Spotlight combination and Google's ongoing Gemini rollout, fundamentally changing how smartphone users access information.
IBM Opens "watsonx AI Lab" to Democratize Advanced AI Infrastructure
IBM has opened a new "Watsonx AI Lab" in New York City, bringing startups, scale-ups, and enterprises together with IBM's researchers and engineers under one roof. The space offers hands-on R&D collaboration, mentoring, and access to specialized tools to help companies build and deploy AI models more effectively.
This initiative reflects a broader trend of breaking down access barriers to frontier AI infrastructure. Rather than keeping advanced AI capabilities behind closed doors, companies like IBM are creating environments where diverse teams can collaborate on shared resources, potentially democratizing access to the computational power needed for meaningful AI development.
AI Godfather Launches $30M Nonprofit for Safer AI Systems
Turing Award winner Yoshua Bengio has launched LawZero, a nonprofit organization dedicated to building "safe-by-design" AI systems with $30 million in funding. The initiative aims to develop "Scientist AI," a tool designed to promote truth, transparency, and responsible AI use through providing probabilistic answers rather than false certainties.
Backed by prominent figures including Eric Schmidt and Jaan Tallinn, LawZero represents a shift in Bengio's approach from warning about AI dangers to actively building solutions. The project emphasizes the growing concern about AI systems that convincingly generate incorrect information, and seeks to create models that acknowledge uncertainty and maintain transparency in their reasoning processes.
