    OpenAI is working on a type of LinkedIn competitor.

    Its OpenAI Jobs Platform is a hiring platform that will “use AI to help find the perfect matches between what companies need and what workers can offer,” according to a blog post by Fidji Simo, OpenAI’s CEO of Applications. It’ll also be designed to help “local governments find the AI talent they need to better serve their constituents,” per the post, and offer “certifications for different levels of AI fluency” via the OpenAI Academy.

    Four AI researchers are leaving Apple — including its lead for robotics research.

    Jian Zhang, Apple’s head AI researcher for robotics, is headed to Meta, Bloomberg reported, citing people with knowledge of the matter. The report also said that three other AI researchers are leaving Apple’s foundation models team, with two going to OpenAI and one to Anthropic — part of an increasing number of departures from that team in recent weeks.

    OpenAI announced what its new “parental controls” will look like.

    “Within the next month,” the company wrote in a blog post, parents will be able to link their account with a teen’s via an email invite, disable chat history and memory for their teen’s account, receive notifications when ChatGPT flags the teen to be “in a moment of acute distress,” and — there weren’t many additional details here, but — control “how ChatGPT responds to their teen with age-appropriate model behavior rules, which are on by default.” The changes follow a teen’s death and recent lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman.
