OpenAI's Stargate Project Considers UK for AI Infrastructure Expansion

What’s Going On: OpenAI's $500 billion Stargate initiative, in partnership with SoftBank and Oracle, is exploring the United Kingdom as a potential site for expanding its AI infrastructure. The UK is being considered due to its pro-innovation regulatory environment and efforts to enhance electricity access for data centers. Germany and France are also on the shortlist for potential expansion.

Why It Matters: This move signifies OpenAI's commitment to global AI infrastructure development, potentially positioning the UK as a significant player in the AI landscape.​

Perplexity AI to Feature in Upcoming Motorola Razr

What’s Going On: Perplexity's AI voice assistant is set to be a key feature in the upcoming Motorola Razr, scheduled for announcement on April 24. This integration allows users to choose between Perplexity and Google's Gemini assistants. Additionally, Perplexity is collaborating with T-Mobile's parent company on an "AI Phone" that is capable of performing tasks like booking flights without user interaction. Discussions are also underway to bring Perplexity to Samsung devices. ​

Why It Matters: This collaboration highlights the growing trend of AI integration in smartphones, offering users more personalized and efficient experiences.​

AI Music Hits the Charts — But Not Everyone’s Happy

What’s Going On: Deezer, a big music streaming app, just said that 18% of all new songs on its platform are now made with AI tools. That’s a huge jump from last year, when there were barely any. These songs are created by machines, not people, but they sound like real music.

Why It Matters: Some artists are worried. They say AI music is flooding the charts and making it harder for real musicians to get noticed. Others think AI might help people create music who never could before. It’s a big debate: Should AI-made songs be treated like human-made ones?

This is just the start — and it could change how we listen to music in the future.
