OpenAI to Debut First Super Bowl Ad Amid AI Marketing Push

OpenAI is set to air its first-ever Super Bowl ad during Super Bowl 59, a move signaling its biggest marketing effort since its founding in 2015, The Wall Street Journal reports. The AI giant recently appointed Kate Rouch as CMO, known for Coinbase’s viral QR code ad, and rebranded with a new logo and typeface ahead of the game. With AI being a key theme this year—Google and GoDaddy also showcasing AI-driven ads—OpenAI is ramping up efforts to stay ahead in the AI race, boosting its brand visibility as it explores ad-driven revenue streams.

Sam Altman Discusses AI Supremacy at Berlin Panel: The Future of GPT-5

During a panel at TU Berlin, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated, “I don’t think I’m going to be smarter than GPT-5,” sparking discussions on AI’s evolving capabilities. He emphasized that GPT-5 could unlock breakthroughs in science and research, allowing humanity to achieve things previously thought impossible. While OpenAI has no official release timeline, Altman’s growing openness about GPT-5 suggests its development is nearing completion.

OpenAI is also advancing its o-series reasoning models, with the o3 model achieving breakthroughs like cracking the ARC-AGI benchmark. Altman hinted at a future where GPT-series and o-series models merge into a unified AGI system, scaling intelligence even further. As AI progresses, OpenAI remains focused on pushing the boundaries of reasoning and problem-solving.

DeepMind’s AlphaGeometry2 Outperforms Math Olympians in Geometry

DeepMind’s AlphaGeometry2 has achieved 84% accuracy in solving International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) geometry problems (2000–2024), surpassing most human experts.

The system:

• Outperforms top math competitors, solving 42 out of 50 IMO-AG-50 benchmark problems.

• Uses a language model (Gemini-based) and DDAR (Deductive Database Arithmetic Reasoning) for problem-solving.

• Introduces SKEST (Shared Knowledge Ensemble of Search Trees) to refine solutions faster.

• Is 300x faster than its predecessor due to a new C++ implementation.

• Can potentially expand beyond geometry into physics, engineering, and advanced research applications.

AlphaGeometry2 operates by generating potential solution steps via a language model, which are then validated through logical reasoning by DDAR. It iterates through possible solutions using a shared knowledge search algorithm, optimizing efficiency and accuracy.

The success of neuro-symbolic AI highlights its potential to automate complex mathematical reasoning, aiding researchers, scientists, and engineers. As AI reasoning advances, LLMs may reduce reliance on symbolic engines, raising key questions about the future of AI-driven problem-solving.

SAFE SUPERINTELLIGENCE

Sutskever’s Superintelligence Startup Eyes $20B Valuation Amid Investor Buzz

Safe Superintelligence (SSI), the AI startup co-founded by former OpenAI researcher Ilya Sutskever, is in early-stage talks for a funding round that could push its valuation to $20 billion—four times its September valuation—despite having no revenue, according to Reuters. Unlike OpenAI and other AI firms, SSI remains in pure research mode, solely focused on developing "safe superintelligence" without commercializing products like ChatGPT.

Sutskever, who left OpenAI in 2024, believes the AI industry faces a "peak data" challenge, where available training data is finite. At NeurIPS, he suggested potential solutions, including AI agents capable of independent reasoning, synthetic data, and enhanced computing power. While major AI players like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google explore similar approaches, SSI's research-driven strategy sets it apart in the race toward artificial superintelligence.

Google Updates AI Ethics, Allows Military and Surveillance Use

Google has revised its AI ethics guidelines, lifting previous bans on using AI in weapons and surveillance, The Washington Post reports. The company now focuses on human oversight and international law compliance, citing global AI competition as a key factor. This aligns Google with other AI firms partnering with defense agencies, such as OpenAI with Anduril, Meta with the US military, Anthropic with Palantir, and Microsoft's exploration of AI-driven military software.

OpenAI Co-Founder John Schulman Joins Ex-CTO Mira Murati’s New AI Venture

John Schulman, a key figure behind ChatGPT, has left Anthropic after just five months to join a new AI startup led by former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, The Information reports. Murati, known for her work on ChatGPT, DALL-E, and Sora, is already in talks to raise over $100 million for proprietary AI models. Schulman called his next move “extremely compelling,” adding to the wave of ex-OpenAI leaders—like Ilya Sutskever and Jan Leike—launching new AI ventures.

UAE to Invest Up to €50B in France’s Largest AI Campus

The UAE and France have signed an agreement to build Europe's largest AI campus, featuring a data center with up to one gigawatt of computing power. With an investment of €30-50 billion, the project involves French and Emirati companies, including UAE-based MGX. Signed by Presidents Macron and Mohamed bin Zayed, it aims to make France a global AI hub and strengthen UAE-France tech ties. The campus will advance AI research and innovation in Europe, with the location yet to be decided.
