Wikipedia pauses AI summaries after editors skewer the idea

Wikipedia is backing off AI article summaries… for now. Earlier this month, the platform trialed the feature in its mobile app. To say they weren't well-received by editors would be an understatement. The Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) paused the test a day later. The AI summaries appeared at the top of articles for 10 percent of mobile users. Readers had to opt in to see them. The AI-generated summaries only appeared "on a set of articles" for the two-week trial period. Editor comments in the WMF

Why OpenAI and Google's surprising new alliance makes a lot of AI sense

zdnet.com Webb Wright 2025-09-18 11:50:40

MF3d/Getty Images In geopolitics, nations with conflicting societal norms or ideological views must occasionally form alliances in the interest of protecting their mutual interests; practicality must take precedence over past rivalries. Today, a similar dynamic is starting to play out in the AI arms race. OpenAI, the AI start-up that skyrocketed to global fame following the viral success of its ChatGPT chatbot, has teamed up with Google, its longtime competitor, according to a Reuters report.

Meta is working toward a near future when many of the ads you see on Facebook or Instagram are created from scratch by AI, and thus more easily targeted specifically to you. Its goal is fully automated AI-powered ad generation by the end of 2026, the Wall Street Journal reported last week. That could cut out roles for many human copywriters, designers and media buyers and potentially shake up the $600 billion global ad business, but it also could be a new, lower-cost resource for small and mediu

OpenAI's ChatGPT has some major competitors in the market: Gemini, Copilot, Claude. Now add to that list the Atari 2600.

By using a software emulator to run Atari's 1979 game Video Chess, Citrix engineer Robert Caruso said he was able to set up a match between ChatGPT and the 46-year-old game.
