NEWS: Judge warns Elon Musk’s attorneys that day 4 trial is not about AI safety risks. Before jurors entered the courtroom, Elon Musk’s lead attorney Steve Molo asked Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers to clarify what UC Berkeley Computer Science Professor Stuart Russell can discuss as a key expert witness. “The expert will not testify outside the confines of their report and anything disclosed during their deposition,” the judge said, joking that “Despite the movies, we don’t have big surprises at trials.” Molo argued Russell should be able to discuss the possibility that AI could cause “extinction” or climate catastrophes, raising his voice: “We all could die! We all could die as a result of artificial intelligence!” The judge noted the irony that Elon Musk, despite these risks, “is creating a company in the exact space” as OpenAI. “I suspect there are plenty of people who do not want to put the future of humanity in Mr. Musk’s hands. But it doesn’t matter. We are not going to get into those issues,” the judge said. “The question here is about whether there was a breach of charitable trust. This is not a trial on the safety risks of artificial intelligence.”

Hyundai has unveiled their next-generation infotainment system called Pleos, which looks to be inspired by Tesla. The company plans to equip 20 million Hyundai, Kia and Genesis vehicles with this new system by 2030. At the core of Pleos is Gleo AI, a voice assistant built on a large language model (LLM): • Context-Aware: Gleo AI uses conversational and driving context to accurately interpret abstract commands like “navigate there” or “find a restaurant near here.” • Multi-Command Processing: It can recognize and execute multiple commands within a single request. • Web Searches: It can also respond to user questions on topics such as the news, weather and sports through web searches • Integrated Vehicle Control: Users can manage navigation, adjust climate settings and access vehicle manual information using natural language. • Zone-Specific Recognition: The system can identify the speaker’s location within the cabin to execute precise commands, such as “turn on my heated seat.” Large Central Screen: A wide-view display divided into three main sections: • The Driving Information Screen shows essential data including speed and warning lights, along with 3D graphics of surrounding objects and people. • The App Screen is used for navigation, media and third-party applications. It can be switched between the Single Screen mode for immersive content, and the Split Screen for multitasking. • The Bottom Bar provides one-tap access to recently used or pinned apps.
