OpenAI has integrated search into ChatGPT, making it a more powerful tool. Meanwhile, Google is leveraging AI to automate coding processes, increasing efficiency. However, concerns about AI-generated content and its impact on intellectual property rights are growing. As AI continues to reshape industries, policymakers are grappling with the ethical and legal implications of these technologies.
1. OpenAI Integrates Search into ChatGPT
OpenAI has integrated new search functionality directly into ChatGPT, entering the search engine space dominated by Google and competing with Microsoft’s Bing and Perplexity. The feature uses third-party search providers and content from publishing partners, is powered by a fine-tuned version of GPT-4, and will be rolled out gradually starting with Plus and Team users. OpenAI has secured content partnerships with major publishers like Condé Nast, Financial Times, and others to support this feature.
2. Calls for 10-Year Visas for Tech Graduates
Entrepreneur Ewan Kirk is advocating for the UK government to introduce 10-year visas for overseas STEM graduates to boost innovation and economic growth. Kirk argues that current visa restrictions are creating a “voluntary brain-drain” of talented graduates from UK universities. The proposal is part of a series of low-cost measures suggested in a policy paper published by the Labour-linked think tank Progressive Britain.
3. AI-Generated Code Powers Google’s Development
Google CEO revealed that over 25% of new code at Google is now generated by AI and reviewed by human engineers. This revelation reflects a broader trend in the software development industry, with surveys showing high adoption rates of AI coding tools among developers. While AI-assisted coding offers productivity benefits, some express concerns about potential bugs and errors in AI-generated code.

5. PM Calls for AI Companies to Pay for Content
Prime Minister Keir Starmer has stated that his government supports the principle that publishers should be compensated when AI companies use their content. This stance comes amid concerns about AI companies scraping online content and debates over intellectual property rights. The government also plans to address SLAPP lawsuits that intimidate journalists, although specific proposals have been delayed.
