    America's flights stopped for five hours, and the new AI got the blame first

    On Tuesday, the US aviation authority said its new AI route planner would go live at every air traffic control centre. On Friday, every departing flight in America was grounded for about five hours, with more than 4,000 cancellations, by the count of flight tracker FlightAware. Within hours, the Homeland Security Secretary said he was checking whether the AI played a part. The evidence so far points elsewhere. Sources told CBS that an update crashed an old communications network, and the AI's maker denies any link. AI now sits inside the systems a country runs on, so it gets suspected first. If you put AI into anything critical, keep records that can clear it quickly.

    ChatGPT can now pay for your shopping, and Amazon is drafting its answer

    Sellers are splitting into two camps over AI assistants that buy things for you. United Airlines shut them out this week, and on Friday OpenAI went the other way. ChatGPT Wallet lets its shopping agents pay: you enter your card once, approve every purchase, and the agent only sees a one-time code from Visa, Mastercard or American Express. It starts with top-tier US subscribers only. The same day, Reuters revealed an internal Amazon draft for a database of nearly every product sold anywhere, partly to keep those agents shopping at Amazon. Amazon calls it a brainstorm. To me it looks like the biggest online retailer preparing for customers who send a robot to shop.

    OpenAI closes its robotics team and bets the brain behind ChatGPT can run robots

    OpenAI has broken up its robotics team, the second time it has done so, and moved the researchers into its main research group. Fortune found OpenAI's stand empty at a major robotics conference in Austin, and OpenAI then confirmed the change. Its reasoning is that the general models behind ChatGPT handled some robot tasks better than software built only for robots, with 75 percent success against 51 in one simulated test by Nvidia. Russ Tedrake, an MIT robotics professor, argues that data from real factory floors still gives robot makers the edge. When choosing a robot supplier, ask where its training data comes from, because that is what OpenAI does not have yet.

    EU leaders give AI its own summit slot for the first time and put the bill at 500 billion euros

    Friday in Dublin was the first time EU leaders gave AI its own slot on a summit agenda. Arthur Mensch, chief executive of the French AI company Mistral, and AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton joined them. Ursula von der Leyen, the Commission president, put a price on catching up: at least 500 billion euros by the Commission's own estimate, mostly for chips and computing power. Nobody said where the money comes from, and the meeting was informal, so nothing was decided. She promised the first plan for a specific industry within two weeks. That plan will show whether Brussels is offering European companies funding or new rules.

    Chinese AI projects name banned Nvidia chips in their own paperwork

    Buried in more than 150 Chinese purchase notices, contracts and company filings, Reuters found AI computing projects worth about 3.2 billion dollars that name Nvidia chips Washington restricts. Local officials say one such data centre in Wuxi has run since last year. Reuters is careful: the total includes buildings and power, and the papers prove neither that the chips arrived nor that a law was broken. Still, I find the openness striking. After the chip fingerprints I wrote about yesterday, this is the second sign this week that the export rules are leaking. Europe is debating how to pay for its chips, while some Chinese local governments write banned ones straight into their plans.
