OpenAI has filed counterclaims against Elon Musk, accusing him of waging a "relentless campaign" to damage the organization after it achieved success without him. The company alleges that Musk became hostile towards OpenAI after abandoning it in 2018 and could not tolerate seeing its breakthrough achievements with ChatGPT. Musk founded his own genAI startup, xAI, and has invested heavily to compete with OpenAI. OpenAI claims Musk made a sham bid for the company's assets and launched malicious campaigns against it on X, where he has over 200 million followers. The AI lab is seeking an injunction to halt Musk's further unlawful action and compensation for damages caused by his actions.

Nvidia's high-end GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card with 32GB GDDR7 memory is being sold at a lower cost than its equivalent AI accelerator, sparking concerns that history may repeat itself like it did during the cryptocurrency mining boom in the early 2020s. A Vietnamese retailer has started selling barebone AI servers equipped with seven GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards, highlighting the potential for another GPU shortage and price surge as demand for AI accelerators increases.

In response to China's AI lead, US President Donald Trump has established a "National Council for Energy Dominance" to boost electricity production. However, this growth may come at a cost, as the expansion of data centers is expected to significantly increase carbon emissions linked to electricity consumption, from 180 million tonnes today to 300 million tonnes by 2035, according to the IEA.

The committee also supports updating the HETV tax credit, which was championed by Doctor Who producer Jane Tranter, to around 40% for cheaper shows costing between £1M and £3M per hour. The CMSC urges the government to introduce the measure as early as next year and benchmark its value against rebates in other nations. Additionally, the committee calls for "unconditional" funding for the UK's anti-bullying reporting body CIISA, citing a need for safe spaces to raise concerns and seek professional advice. The report also criticizes training body ScreenSkills for failing to deliver meaningful action on skills and training, while highlighting the importance of embracing generative AI in a fair and responsible manner.
