    Parents in seven cities protested Google's promotion of the Gemini AI model in schools, accusing it of turning students into experiments and potentially inducing suicide, demanding a moratorium. Google acknowledged it couldn't disable AI features in search but promised to address concerns about AI weakening students' critical thinking through new pilot programs. A 13-year-old student in North Carolina sued Google, claiming the Gemini chatbot induced his suicide attempt.

    The aftermath of Huang Renxun's 'honey pot' controversy: NVIDIA board investigation and the direction of export controls.

    NVIDIA CEO Huang Renxun admitted to having a relationship with a woman considered a Chinese spy by U.S. intelligence. The board stated there was no reason to believe national security or NVIDIA secrets had been compromised but has launched an investigation. The article suggests his previous opposition to China's chip export controls may weaken, potentially pushing for stricter controls, while Dario Amodei of Anthropic could benefit from Google; as anti-AI Democrats are set to gain power in Congress, Huang Renxun may also face pressure from hearings.

    Why it matters: An article discusses how the alleged involvement of NVIDIA CEO Huang Renxun with a woman believed to be a Chinese spy could lead to changes in the NVIDIA board's investigation, export control stance, and potential congressional hearings.

    Google has not yet solved the problem of how to profit from AI like its search engine.

    Google's search revenue year-on-year growth rate decreased from approximately 17% in the previous quarter to 12% in the third quarter, and paid clicks growth also slowed from 13% to 8%. Although AI model queries have grown rapidly, their monetization rate is lower than traditional search, and CEO Sundar Pichai stated that this is one of the main drivers of the slowdown in revenue growth.

    European Court of Justice Advisor: Google Gemini may infringe copyright by using news reports

    European Court of Justice Advocate General Maciej Szpunar stated that Google Gemini chatbot using news reports to generate answers may infringe copyright in certain circumstances. If the court's final ruling is unfavorable to Google and requires it to pay fees, it will bring survival opportunities for online media like Like Company. Szpunar pointed out that if the chatbot illegally bypasses paywalls or uses reports in a recognizable way to express forms, it may be infringing, but copyright does not protect facts themselves.
