11-7-25 - Elon Musk's xAI Girlfriend required employees to train it with their biometric data

Today we talk about controversial project by Elon Musk's AI company, xAI, which involves creating an AI girlfriend named Ani. Employees are required to submit biometric data to enhance the AI's human-like interactions. The project raises ethical questions about privacy and consent, especially as employees must sign release forms allowing the use of their likenesses. We also get into Apple's plan to use Gemini to power Siri, plus OpenAI's deal with Amazon and the Sora app now being available on Android.Links:Apple to pay Google $1B yearly to power Siri with Gemini - A major deal could make Google Gemini the brains behind Apple’s next-gen Siri (Tech Crunch)xAI used employee biometric data to train Elon Musk’s AI girlfriend (The Verge)OpenAI strikes $38 billion AI training deal with Amazon (The Verge)OpenAI launches its Sora app on Android (The Verge)Follow Us:Ashley Coffey: (Instagram) (Threads)AI Newsletter (Subscribe!)Coffey and Consult (Website) (Podcast) Daniel Hill: (Instagram) (Threads)The Instagram Stories - Social Media News (Podcast) Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
