    United Airlines tells your AI assistant it may not book your flights

    United Airlines now bars outside AI agents, the assistants that act on your behalf, from buying tickets or touching frequent-flyer accounts on its sites. As far as I can tell, it is the first big American airline to say so outright. Its stated reasons are security and rules that need a person to confirm what is in your bag. Chief executive Scott Kirby has also said: "I don't want to create another middleman." United's ban lands a day after ChatGPT began letting companies put their own AI assistant next to its answers. I think every airline and hotel chain with a loyalty scheme will follow within the year.

    Nvidia's board weighs Jensen Huang's future after a second affair report

    Nvidia's board backed Jensen Huang, its founder and chief executive, on Sunday, before its own inquiry had begun, and I called that premature on Monday. On Wednesday the New York Times reported a second affair, with a senior Nvidia executive who reports to him. According to the Wall Street Journal, the board met that evening to discuss whether he should stay. The shares fell more than 8 percent in late trading, and neither Huang nor Nvidia had commented when I wrote this. Nvidia makes the chips most AI runs on, and Huang has no obvious successor. That makes this a risk for anyone whose AI plans depend on those chips.

    Amazon gives away a stand-in for its cloud, written by AI

    Amazon just gave away a stand-in for its own cloud, the computing power it rents to companies over the internet. AWS Emulator imitates more than 200 of those services and runs free on a laptop. According to Amazon, AI agents wrote and tested all of the code, and reportedly no engineer read it line by line. Other agents, told to hunt for flaws, did the reviewing, while people wrote the tests that decide when the work is correct. United keeps a person at the checkout, but Amazon kept people only at the start. If that becomes normal, your IT team's job moves from writing code to defining what correct looks like.

    German defence company Helsing shows AI that prepares targets for weapons

    Helsing, the German defence AI company, showed software in Berlin on Wednesday that prepares targets for weapons using hundreds of AI agents. Its Clarity platform combines drone footage, satellite images and written reports, then recommends targets and the weapon to use. Helsing promises that a person approves every strike, and that each approval carries that person's name. It has not said whether any army uses Clarity yet. A human check only counts if the person has time and authority. Journalists investigating Lavender, a different system the Israeli army reportedly used in Gaza, found checks lasting about 20 seconds per target, which the army disputed. Helsing's customers should ask how many seconds theirs gets.

    TikTok's founder reportedly told staff ByteDance's AI is years behind OpenAI and Anthropic

    Chinese AI bosses rarely admit they are behind, which makes Zhang Yiming's reported words to his staff unusual. According to Bloomberg, Zhang, who co-founded TikTok's owner ByteDance, told the company's AI team it can catch OpenAI and Anthropic, but not before 2029 or 2030. He reportedly blamed data, saying ByteDance's AI learns from far less text than its American rivals. He also told the team not to cut corners by training on rivals' chatbot answers, the shortcut American labs accuse Chinese ones of taking. ByteDance did not comment and still plans a personal AI assistant within weeks. That candour makes me take his 2029 date more seriously than most Chinese AI boasts.
