gizmodo.com Ece Yildirim 2026-01-30 23:27:46

President Trump just slapped 30% tariffs on goods coming from the European Union, escalating a long-simmering conflict over who gets to write the rules for Big Tech. The move came just after Brussels moved forward with more regulations, this time targeting the booming field of artificial intelligence. The latest flashpoint is the EU’s new “Code of Practice” for AI, a set of voluntary guidelines released Thursday aimed at addressing public safety concerns. While not legally binding, the code bui

Image by Remi Benali/Getty Images Rx/Medicines Scientists have gene-hacked mice to produce their own Ozempic-like drugs — possibly, and provocatively, perhaps paving a path for humans to do so themselves one day. In a new study published in the journal Communications Medicine, researchers from Japan's University of Osaka successfully gene-edited mice livers to produce exenatide, a first-generation diabetes drug and predecessor to now-trendy jabs like Ozempic and Mounjaro.

How Google Killed OpenAI’s $3 Billion Deal Without an Acquisition

gizmodo.com Ece Yildirim 2026-01-31 00:52:26

Google just dealt OpenAI a major blow by scuttling a potential $3 billion deal, and in doing so, solidified a rising trend in Silicon Valley’s AI arms race: the “non-acquisition acquisition.” Google announced on July 11 that it poached key talent from the rapidly rising AI startup Windsurf, which until then had a reported $3 billion acquisition deal with OpenAI that has now collapsed. Instead, Google is paying $2.4 billion to hire away top Windsurf employees, including the company’s CEO, and ta
