OpenAI Plans IPO as Deepfake Scams Surge

OpenAI has filed confidentially with the US Securities and Exchange Commission for a future IPO, following rival Anthropic's similar announcement last week. Apple also revealed a revamped Siri powered by Google's Gemini models at its Worldwide Developers Conference. The Bank of England is pressing Elon Musk's X to remove AI-generated deepfake adverts falsely depicting governor Andrew Bailey in conflict with Nigel Farage, calling them criminal scams. Elsewhere, China launched the world's first wind-powered underwater datacentre off Shanghai, and the UK government began piloting AI legal assistants in crown courts.
