OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is reportedly developing its first AI-powered smart speaker with built-in cameras and advanced features — a major step into consumer hardware. This new device is designed to deliver context-aware interactions, advanced AI assistance, and even facial recognition features for personalized use and secure shopping.   What Is the ChatGPT Smart Speaker? OpenAI’s smart speaker will be an intelligent assistant powered by ChatGPT. Unlike current voice-only speakers, this device is expected to include a camera to understand surroundings, recognize objects, and possibly identify users’ faces for personalized responses and secure actions like purchases.  Here’s what to expect: Built-in camera for environmental context and object recognition.  AI interactions through natural conversation — ask questions and get real-time answers. Facial recognition technology (similar to Face ID) to unlock the device or authenticate purchases. Potential to streaml...

Artificial intelligence is reaching a new frontier in the public sector. Major AI developers — OpenAI , Google , and Perplexity — are reportedly on the verge of receiving federal approval to host and sell their AI systems directly to the U.S. government on their own cloud platforms. This shift marks a significant step toward autonomy in government AI usage and reduces reliance on intermediaries.   Background: The Traditional Way AI Reached Federal Users Until now, AI companies typically depended on established tech contractors — such as Palantir , Microsoft, or Amazon Web Services (AWS) — to provide secure cloud environments that meet federal security standards. These partners had already cleared stringent government reviews, making it easier for AI developers to get access for government agencies without hosting the systems themselves.  However, this approach also meant less control for AI companies over how and when their systems were used by federal employees, even for ...

OpenAI ने ChatGPT में विज्ञापन (Ads) टेस्टिंग शुरू कर दी है, और यह बदलाव खासकर Free और ChatGPT Go उपयोगकर्ताओं को प्रभावित करेगा। यह एक बड़ा मोड़ है क्योंकि ChatGPT अब तक बिना किसी विज्ञापन के उपयोगकर्ताओं को सेवा देता था।  Ads कब और किसके लिए दिखेंगे? कब? – यह टेस्टिंग 9 फरवरी 2026 से अमेरिका में शुरू हो चुकी है। किसको दिखेंगे?  Free tier वाले Logged-in Adult यूज़र्स ChatGPT Go सब्सक्रिप्शन वाले यूज़र्स किसे नहीं दिखेंगे?  Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, और Education सब्सक्रिप्शन वाले यूज़र्स बिल्कुल भी Ads नहीं देखेंगे।  Ads और चैट अनुभव: क्या बदलता है? Ads चैट के जवाबों को प्रभावित नहीं करेंगे OpenAI का कहना है कि Ads चैट के जवाबों को कभी भी बदलेंगे नहीं — यानी आप वही AI-जेनरेटेड उत्तर पाएंगे जैसा पहले मिलता था।  Ads स्पॉन्सर्ड और स्पष्ट लेबल के साथ दिखेंगे जो भी Ads दिखेंगे, वे हमेशा “Sponsored” लेबल के साथ और जवाब से अलग दिखेंगे ताकि यूज़र उन्हें अलग समझ सके।  Ads को हटाने के विकल्प भी हैं यूज़र Ads को dismiss, feedback देना, personalizatio...
