Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI took several turns before reaching trial in federal court. On April 28, 2026, the case formally went to trial in federal court in Oakland, California, with Musk alleging that OpenAI and its leadership had departed from the organization’s original non-profit mission. Musk contended that after accepting massive investment from Microsoft and gradually shifting toward a for-profit structure, OpenAI had transformed from an open research institution founded to benefit hum

In the field of artificial intelligence (AI) industry, perhaps no development has attracted more attention this year than the simultaneous acceleration of initial public offering (IPO) plans by the three dominant players: OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX+xAI. This unprecedented race to IPO is rapidly shifting competition among leading AI firms away from a model backed by venture capital toward a new phase increasingly sustained by public capital markets.

Since early 2026, leading U.S. AI labs have frequently spoken out against so-called “adversarial distillation,” accusing China of using this widely accepted industry technique for “intellectual property theft” and even posing a “national security threat.” Since April, actions from both the U.S. government and the private sector regarding the distillation issue have escalated: the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) released a policy memorandum aimed at curbing

US President Donald Trump will pay a state visit to China from May 13 to 15. This marks the first meeting between the two leaders since the Busan summit in October, and the first US presidential visit to China in nine years. Trumps visit will launch a new round of high-level engagementsthis year. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a major focus of this summit. Whether this meeting can make progress in moving from “procedural breakthrough” to practical cooperation, risk management, an

OnApril 13, the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence(HAI) released the 2026 AI Index Report, which documents global artificialintelligence developments throughout 2025. Comprising nine chapters andspanning 423 pages, the report tracks key issues including research anddevelopment, technical performance, responsible AI, economic impact, scientificapplications, medical applications, education, policy and governance, andpublic perception. Adopting a data-driven approach, it

AbstractOn March 24, OpenAI officially announced that it would shut down Sora, its once hugelypopular AI video-generation app. From its breakout debut in 2024, which helped fuelthe global AI video boom, to its eventual removal amid a broader strategicreset, Sora’s rise and fall reflects mounting pressure on multiple fronts:operating costs, intensifying competition, and shifting corporate priorities.Together, these forces pushed OpenAI to part ways with one of its most visibleproducts. Sora’s exi

Recently, the AI Act, which has officially entered its first formal revision cycle, has seen significant new developments. On March 26, 2026, the European Parliament adopted its First Reading Position on the Digital Omnibus on AIwith 569 votes in favor, 45 against, and 23 abstentions. Previously, the Council of the European Union adopted its general negotiating mandate on March 13. With the Parliament and the Council having established their respective negotiating positions, the process will now

The issue of power supply for artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a global focal point of attention. At the World Economic Forum in Davos in January 2026, Elon Musk stated that power has become the ultimate bottleneck for AI deployment. While chip production capacity is expanding exponentially, the development of power infrastructure has fallen far behind such growth momentum. To alleviate power supply pressure, he has promoted the construction of independent power generation facilities
