OpenAI expects its new products to surpass sales of its ChatGTP chatbot by the end of 2028, according to The Information report. The company plans to generate $2 billion in cash by 2029, with a cash flow positive outlook after spending $46 billion over four years. OpenAI's latest AI models, o3 and o4-mini, are considered the "smartest" released to date, offering more capable AI agents that can independently execute tasks on behalf of users. CFO Sarah Friar stated that OpenAI is building an AI agent that can perform all work of software engineers, moving beyond model building to become a comprehensive AI infrastructure provider and applications developer.

The company attributed this growth to increased demand for artificial intelligence technology and a faster-than-expected ramp-up in the memory market. Despite US tariffs on critical sectors, SK hynix's shares fell due to concerns over HBM DRAM sales. However, experts believe the segment is less likely to be affected by trade shocks due to strong AI demand and borderless AI servers. SK hynix maintained unchanged sales plans with key clients and noted that only a small proportion of its sales are directly exported to the US.

The study found that 30% of companies believe AI has created an entirely new attack surface, while 29% struggle with compliance requirements from auditors. In response, almost two-thirds of organizations are now using AI in their IT infrastructure, and another 30% are considering implementation.

The study tested over 350 AI language, video, and image models, which could have implications for the deployment of AI in real-world settings such as manufacturing, healthcare, and self-driving cars. According to Leyla Isik, a professor of cognitive science at Johns Hopkins University, humans are constantly processing moving images, highlighting the need for AI systems that can keep pace with human capabilities.

According to Bloomberg, the impact of AI on tech firms was evident in the first quarter of 2025, with several major players reporting slower growth due to increased competition from AI-powered solutions.

BMW plans to integrate DeepSeek AI into its new vehicles in China later this year. The agency suspended new downloads of the DeepSeek app in February after it acknowledged failing to follow data protection rules, including sending user-generated AI prompts to Beijing Volcano Engine Technology Co. Ltd. along with device and network information.

As a result, nearly half of organizations are already using AI to fully automate workstreams or processes, with customer service, marketing, and product development being top priorities. Many companies are considering hiring for new AI roles, with over three-quarters of bosses believing AI will enable employees to take on more complex work earlier in their careers.
