This week’s 5 top stories you can't miss this week:

1?? [AI Regulation] California's proposed bill SB 1047 seeks to hold large AI model providers liable for catastrophic harms caused by their systems, including requiring emergency "kill switches."

• Supported by AI pioneers Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio, and sponsored by the Center for AI Safety, the bill faces strong opposition from Silicon Valley, which argues it will hinder the open-source startup ecosystem and favor big tech.
• This legislation could become the first major AI regulation in the U.S., shaping the future of AI governance and balancing innovation with safety risks.

2?? [Emotional AI] AI that claims to read emotions can enhance user experience but also poses risks of misuse and bias.

• Hume, a startup, developed an emotional AI that interprets vocal tones and facial expressions, raising questions about the accuracy and ethical implications of such technology.
• Experts argue that while emotional AI can be beneficial, its potential for manipulation and inherent biases must be carefully managed.

3?? [IKEA] Ikea is paying humans $17 an hour to work virtual jobs in its video game store, promoting its flexible work environment.

• As Americans flock to Roblox, brands like Chipotle, Kellogg, and Forever 21 are creating virtual retail experiences to market their products.
• In 2022, Chipotle launched a burrito-building simulation for store credits, and Roblox introduced virtual video ads this year.

4?? [AI Safety] One month after leaving OpenAI over security concerns, Ilya Sutskever has launched Safe Superintelligence Inc (SSI) with a focus on AI safety.

• Co-founded with Daniel Gross and Daniel Levy, SSI aims to prioritize safety over commercial pressures, developing a safe superintelligence system as its sole product.
• The company intends to advance safety and capabilities in tandem, insulated from commercial interruptions, to ensure secure AI development.

5?? [Claude 3.5] Anthropic's new AI model, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, outperforms OpenAI’s GPT-4o and Google’s Gemini in various tasks and is available to web and iOS Claude users.

• It is twice as fast as its predecessor, excels in complex instructions, chart interpretation, and transcribing text from imperfect images, and has surpassed major competitors in multiple benchmarks.
• Claude 3.5 Sonnet also introduces a new feature called Artifacts, allowing users to edit and add to AI-generated content within the app.
