China Leads in Using AI for Scientific Research

What’s Going On: China has surpassed both the U.S. and the EU in using artificial intelligence (AI) for scientific studies. In 2022, Chinese scientists published over 25,000 research papers that utilized AI tools, compared to around 15,000 from the EU and 12,000 from the U.S. This surge is largely due to China's significant investments in AI technologies and its focus on integrating AI into various scientific fields. ​

Why It Matters: By leading in AI-driven research, China is accelerating scientific discoveries and innovations. This advancement could position China at the forefront of global science and technology, influencing future developments worldwide.

Netflix Tests AI-Powered Search with OpenAI

What’s Going On: Netflix is testing a new search feature powered by OpenAI, allowing users to find content using more specific and personalized queries, such as their mood. The enhanced search engine goes beyond traditional filters like genres or actor names. It is currently opt-in and available on iOS for select users in Australia and New Zealand, with plans to expand to the U.S. in the coming weeks and months. However, there are no immediate plans to roll out the feature beyond iOS.

Why It Matters: This AI-powered search aims to make finding the perfect show or movie easier by understanding more natural and detailed user inputs. As Netflix continues to integrate advanced AI technologies, users can expect more intuitive and personalized viewing experiences.

Getty Images Boss Pushes Back on UK AI Copyright Plan

What’s Going On: Mark Getty, the chairman of Getty Images, is not happy about a new UK rule. The rule would let AI companies use photos, music, and writing without asking for permission — unless the owners say no. He says that’s not fair to artists, writers, and creators. Many people in creative industries agree with him.

Why It Matters: This fight shows how tricky it is to balance AI progress with protecting people’s work. If the rules change, it could affect how AI tools are trained and what content they use.
