| The Rundown: OpenAI's CEO just conducted a wide-ranging profile with Forbes, revealing a succession plan that involves handing the company to an AI model, AGI commentary with a strange response from Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, and more. | The details: | Altman said a succession plan to "hand off the company to an AI model", arguing if the goal is AGI that can run companies, his own should be first in line. He also said OpenAI "basically have built AGI", with Nadella pushing back on that claim — also referring to the Microsoft / OpenAI relationship as "frenemies". Forbes reported that Altman "has stakes in more than 500 companies", with employees privately worrying about OAI's push to do "too much too quickly." He also commented on the drama with Elon Musk, saying it's "crazy to me how much time he spends attacking us" and criticizing xAI's own safety issues.
| Why it matters: Nobody in AI generates more headlines than Sama, and this profile is a masterclass in why. Whether he's claiming AGI is here or floating an AI succession plan, Altman's talent for driving the narrative is undeniable — the question is whether OpenAI's execution and sprawling direction can keep up with his visionary claims. |

| | AI & HEALTH TECH | |  | Image source: Luffu |
| The Rundown: Fitbit co-founders James Park and Eric Friedman just unveiled Luffu, a new AI-powered app that monitors health data across an entire family, tracking everything from kids' vitals and aging parents' medications to the dog's vet schedule. | The details: | Luffu's AI pulls together medical info that's typically spread across apps, doctor portals, and paper records, alerting users when something looks off. The app supports natural-language queries about family members' health and lets people enter updates through voice memos, photos, or text. The duo is self-funding the venture with a team of ~40, mostly recruited from former Google and Fitbit teams, with a public beta waitlist now open. Dedicated health devices are planned down the line, with the app currently connecting to existing platforms like Apple Health and Fitbit.
| Why it matters: The AI health space has exploded over the past year — but almost everything is built for a single user. With caregiving responsibilities surging worldwide, a family-first approach from the team that helped make personal health tracking mainstream is a bet worth watching, especially as AI wearables grow in capability. |

| | AI TRAINING | | | The Rundown: In this guide, you will learn how to fight back against ChatGPT slop by creating a "Brand Twin" with a custom GPT that writes LinkedIn posts, Instagram captions, and more in your desired voice and style. | Step-by-step: | Add PDFs of your best writing and brand guidelines into ChatGPT and tell it to write "system instructions for a 'Brand Twin' GPT that avoids AI writing clichés" Go to chatgpt.com/gpts, create a new GPT, and paste system instructions. Then click Share > GPT Store and add it by going to GPTs > Explore GPTs Compare the GPT with a regular ChatGPT thread by sending the same prompt, like "Write an Instagram caption for our [product] product announcement"
| Pro tip: Standardize brand voice across a team by sending everyone your custom GPT. |

| | SPONSORED BY IBM | | | The Rundown: IBM explains why digital sovereignty is a CEO imperative in the AI era-and how to hard-code control over data, technology, and operations to help scale while building trust. | Key insights include: | Regulatory tailwinds: Sovereignty mandates are helping accelerate action before access risks grow. Control by design: Define who operates, accesses, and audits AI workloads. Unified strategy: Align hybrid cloud, AI, and resilience under sovereign governance. The payoff: resilience, trust, and faster innovation as sovereignty requirements rise

| | AI SAFETY | |  | Image source: International AI Safety Report |
| The Rundown: 100+ AI experts published the second International AI Safety Report, with AI godfather Yoshua Bengio as the lead author, warning that threats like deepfake fraud and bioweapons have moved from hypothetical concerns to real-world problems. | The details: | The authors flag growing real-world evidence of AI being used for cyberattacks, deepfake fraud, manipulation, and criminal activity. They also raise alarms on the growing adoption of AI companions, citing studies linking use to increased loneliness and reduced social interaction. The report highlights AI systems behaving differently during safety tests than in the real world as a potential 'loss of control' that could hurt oversight. The findings were backed by 30+ countries, though the U.S. notably declined to contribute to this year's report despite past involvement.
| Why it matters: What stands out isn't any single finding, but how many risks moved from the "maybe someday" column into "happening now" in just 12 months — with the field moving faster than ever. The U.S. quietly stepping back from the report, despite hosting most of the frontier labs, is also a strange development worth monitoring. |

I'll input a prompt that ensures her name is mentioned, what we did that day, and the action I want her to take. So she falls asleep to a unique track each night that sings her name…, and now it's sleep time. Best part, it's free & limitless for non-commercial use." | How do you use AI? Tell us here. |
