Last week on This Week in Tech I joined host Leo Laporte with guests Shoshana Weissmann and Christina Warren to discuss emerging technology headlines, including OpenAI’s latest model, O3-Mini, and CEO Sam Altman’s reflections on open-source practices. We also explore the European Union’s ban on AI systems deemed to have ‘unacceptable risk’ and OpenAI’s collaboration with U.S. National Laboratories on scientific research and nuclear security. Bonus: The return of my favorite smartwatch, the Pebble!
