ChatGPT is losing ground.
OpenAI's collaboration with the US Department of Defense has triggered a massive wave of uninstalls of the ChatGPT mobile app.
According to Sensor Tower, on February 28th—the day after the deal was announced—the number of app uninstalls in the US jumped by 295%. The typical daily uninstall rate over the past 30 days was 9%. While users are deleting ChatGPT, competitors are celebrating their triumph. Claude, an app from Anthropic, which previously refused a military contract "for reasons of conscience," has become a new favorite among Americans.

The world has signed the first AI ethics declaration.
More than 90 countries and organizations, including the United States, China, Russia, the European Union, and the United Kingdom, signed the first global document on the principles of AI development at the AI Summit in New Delhi. The key principle is equal access to technology.
AI is currently effectively monopolized. Stanford researchers estimate that over 90% of the leading developments in this industry are owned by the US and China, because this work requires the use of expensive computing power.
The summit participants believed that this was not a reason to close the market, and as a solution to the problem, they adopted the AI Democratic Diffusion Charter. This is a voluntary framework aimed at ensuring access to basic smart resources for countries that cannot create them on their own. However, the Charter does not contain any coercive mechanisms, and each country retains the right to regulate AI as they see fit.
Additionally, New Delhi announced unprecedented investments in the further development of AI, which will exceed $250 billion.

Attacks on data centers in the Middle East region are causing disruptions in services and logistics.
In recent days, the Middle East has experienced severe disruptions in the operation of internet infrastructure after attacks on several data centers. According to media reports, the attacks targeted facilities related to Amazon's cloud infrastructure, including sites in Bahrain and Dubai.
The incidents led to temporary disruptions in the operation of banking services, online platforms, and logistics systems in the region. Some online services were unavailable, and product deliveries faced delays.
To compensate for the loss of capacity, Amazon is redistributing the load to other server clusters. This increases the strain on the infrastructure and may slow down the performance of certain services.

OpenAI has built ChatGPT into Excel with access to Bloomberg, Moody's, and S&P data.
The company has introduced a beta version of ChatGPT for Excel, an add-on based on GPT-5.4 that works directly within spreadsheets. The neural network can build financial models, update formulas, and explain the logic behind calculations.
The main advantage is integration with financial providers (Moody's, Dow Jones Factiva, MSCI, MT Newswire). Data can be pulled into the workspace without switching tabs, and the result can be exported to PDF or Word with automatic links to the sources. In investment banking tests, the new model achieved 87.3% accuracy compared to 43.7% for GPT-5.
Access is available to users at the Business, Enterprise, Edu, Pro, and Plus levels. A version for Google Sheets has been announced, but no release date has been set yet.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos ranked 4th in the Forbes ranking.
Forbes published the 40th global list of billionaires. This year, the number of ultra-rich people reached a record high of 3,428.
The main driver of growth was the AI boom. Elon Musk remains the leader for the second year in a row. His net worth has increased by almost half a trillion dollars due to the merger of SpaceX and the startup xAI into a single entity with a valuation of $1.25 trillion.
Google founders Larry Page ($257 billion) and Sergey Brin ($237 billion) are ranked second and third, respectively. Jeff Bezos has dropped to fourth place, while Mark Zuckerberg has moved up to fifth place. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang entered the top 10 after his company's capitalization reached a historic high of $5 trillion.
Binance founder Changpeng Zhao ($110 billion) also made a triumphant return to the list after being pardoned by Donald Trump.

At the London Book Fair, they presented the publication of Don’t Steal This Book ("Don’t Steal This Book"). It has no text, and the entire content is a list of authors' names. Among the "co-authors" are Nobel laureate Kazuo Ishiguro, Richard Osman, and Philippa Gregory.
The event was organized by activist Ed Newton-Rex. He stated that the artificial intelligence industry is built on the labor of others and deprives creative people of their livelihood. The manifesto on the cover calls on the British government to reject the legalization of "creative theft" in favor of IT giants.

Scientists have warned about the risk of developing psychosis due to communication with AI.
Researchers from King's College London published in The Lancet Psychiatry the first major work on the so-called "AI psychosis". It turned out that modern chatbots are able to provoke and multiply the delusional ideas of users.
Due to their tendency to please the interlocutor, algorithms often fuel grandiose, paranoid, or romantic fantasies. For example, bots may use mystical language and convince people of their higher purpose. Scientists have noted that the interactivity of neural networks dramatically accelerates the deterioration of mental health, as the illusion of a real conversation and relationship quickly transforms mild obsessions into irreversible mental disorders.

OpenAI postponed the launch of erotic chats on ChatGPT
Sam Altman planned to allow users to have explicit conversations with the neural network and attract a new audience. According to The Wall Street Journal, security experts warned management about the risk of creating a "sexual suicide coach."
Experts said that the bot can form unhealthy emotional dependence in people. As an argument, they recalled an incident in Florida: there, a teenager committed suicide after long romantic conversations with a neural network from Character AI.
The project was frozen due to technical problems, among other things. The OpenAI algorithm for age determination failed in 12% of cases and mistook teenagers for adults. At the current scale of ChatGPT, millions of children would have access to erotica.

This forecast was made by the head of the medical AI startup OpenEvidence, Daniel Nadler, during a speech at the Nvidia conference. According to him, the global economy is completely unprepared for such a transformation.
As an example, the businessman cited his own project, which is estimated at $12 billion. OpenEvidence has fewer than a hundred employees, but thanks to neural networks, they create products that help doctors treat 300 million Americans. Artificial intelligence takes on basic tasks, significantly increasing the productivity of each individual and eliminating the need for businesses to expand their staff.

Jeff Bezos plans to raise a hundred billion dollars to automate factories.
The Amazon founder wants to create a giant fund to buy industrial assets. His goal is to completely rebuild the work of factories with the help of artificial intelligence. Bezos has already visited Singapore and countries in the Middle East in order to find financing. The new fund could become one of the largest in history.
The billionaire's interest is focused on the production of microchips, the defense industry, and the aerospace sector. The startup Project Prometheus will be the main tool for change. Bezos has personally taken on the role of co-director at this company. The developers are creating systems that can understand and simulate the laws of the physical world. For example, a neural network could accurately calculate the wear and tear of parts or the movement of air currents. Bezos plans to implement these technologies in all of the companies he has acquired.

Gen Z women have been found to be the most vulnerable to neural networks.
According to a report by Forbes, it is their positions in administration and support that AI agents replace first. At the same time, managers encourage the development of neural networks among men 12% more often than among women in the same positions.
The situation is complicated by the hiring statistics: 72% of Zomers believe that AI will destroy most entry-level positions in the coming years. In technology-related fields, the number of junior positions has already decreased by 6%. Additionally, women use AI in their work 20% less frequently, which creates a skills gap that makes them less competitive in the new economy.

Elon Musk has been left without the team of scientists who helped him launch the AI startup xAI. This week, the last two of the eleven co-founders, Manuel Kreuss and Ross Nordin, left the project.
Musk himself recently admitted that the project was "built wrong from the start." Grok's neural network and coding tools are not yet able to compete with OpenAI or Anthropic's products. Legal issues are also exacerbating the situation. Tesla shareholders have filed a lawsuit against Musk, as they are dissatisfied with his decision to invest \$2 billion from the company's budget into his private project, which now needs to be rebuilt from scratch.
