US Military Turns to xAI's Grok for Iran as California Moves to Shield Faculty From AI

WebProNews reported that the US military deployed xAI's Grok for planning and intelligence analysis related to Iran, describing it as an expansion of generative AI into defense workflows.

Indian Home Minister Amit Shah urged police forces to use AI and machine learning to turn data into intelligence against crime, the Central Chronicle reported, calling for teams in every state to study crime patterns and identify repeat and international offenders. He made the remarks at the 26th All India Fingerprint Conference in New Delhi.

California State University may soon be barred from replacing faculty with generative AI under a union-backed bill nearing the governor's desk, The Business Journal reported, noting that the system signed a $17 million contract with OpenAI last year and has since renewed it at $13 million annually for three years.

WebProNews argued that an AI data crisis is leaving billions in corporate spending short of results, pointing to weak data foundations as the reason many deployments fail to deliver.

The Herald reported that Zimbabwe's president called for harnessing AI and innovation to create jobs, insisting there is no going back on the country's value-addition agenda.
