OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has struck a deal with Apple to use the company’s conversational AI in its products, potentially worth billions of dollars. This could complicate Altman’s relationship with Microsoft. The Canadian Institute for Advanced Research has received $34.5 million in funding for its AI Chair program as part of the federal government’s Strategic Science Fund. Elon Musk’s generative AI startup, xAI, has raised a significant amount of funding, making it the second-most-valuable generative AI company in the world.
