- Beware what you tell your AI chatbot. It’s not a shrink – it’s a snitch | Arwa Mahdawi
In a case of ‘oh dear diary’, the OpenAI president Greg Brockman is having to read extracts from his musings about Elon Musk in court. It’s a terrifying reminder that what’s divulged to AI really isn’t private The hottest new read of 2026 may well be The Secret Diary of Greg Brockman, Aged 38¾. It’s got everything: feuding billionaires, scheming CEOs and a perhaps somewhat unreliable narrator. You won’t find it in the library, but you can watch Brockman, a co-founder and president of OpenAI, being forced to read the juiciest bits out loud in court. Before you ask ChatGPT to explain, here’s the backstory: Elon Musk is in a legal battle with Brockman and the OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman. Musk, a former board member of OpenAI, is accusing the men of violating the AI firm’s founding agreement by turning it into a for-profit entity. Meanwhile, Altman et al are arguing Musk is just upset he’s not in control of the company and wants to bring down his competition. Continue reading...

At Sapphire 2026, SAP unveiled what it calls the “Autonomous Enterprise:” a sweeping vision in which AI agents don’t just assist workers, but execute business processes themselves. “We’re building nothing less than a new SAP,” CEO Christian Klein told attendees in Orlando, Florida. The company, he said, is “becoming a business AI company.” The centerpiece is the SAP Autonomous Suite, which deploys more than 50 domain-specific SAP Joule AI assistants across finance, supply chain, procurement, HR, and customer engagement. Those assistants orchestrate a subset of 200-plus specialized agents to execute tasks end-to-end, from compressing the financial close to automating supply chain rebalancing. Klein emphasized that enterprise AI demands precision. “If AI runs payroll, financial close, or supply chain planning, 80% accuracy is not good enough,” he said.
