OpenAI is seeing an increasing number of Chinese groups using its artificial intelligence technology for covert operations, which the ChatGPT maker described in a report released Thursday. While the scope and tactics employed by these groups have expanded, the operations detected were generally small in scale and targeted limited audiences, the San Francisco-based startup said. Since ChatGPT burst onto the scene in late 2022, there have been concerns about the potential consequences of generative AI technology, which can quickly and easily produce human-like text, imagery and audio. OpenAI regularly releases reports on malicious activity it detects on its platform, such as creating and debugging malware, or generating fake content for websites and social media platforms. In one example, OpenAI banned ChatGPT accounts that generated social media posts on political and geopolitical topics relevant to China, including criticism of a Taiwan-centric video game, false accusations against a Pakistani activist, and content related to the closure of USAID. Some content also criticized U.S. President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs, generating X posts, such as "Tariffs make imported goods outrageously expensive, yet the government splurges on overseas aid. Who's supposed to keep eating?". In another example, China-linked threat actors used AI to support various phases of their cyber operations, including open-source research, script modification, troubleshooting system configurations, and development of tools for password brute forcing and social media automation. A third example OpenAI found was a China-origin influence operation that generated polarized social media content supporting both sides of divisive topics within U.S. political discourse, including text and AI-generated profile images. China's foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on OpenAI's findings. OpenAI has cemented its position as one of the world's most valuable private companies after announcing a $40 billion funding round valuing the company at $300 billion.

ISLAMABAD: The interest shown by children in artificial intelligence tools has doubled during the past year, whereas video-streaming platform YouTube remained one of the most popular applications among kids across the globe. In a report on kids’ digital interests covering the period from May 2024 to April 2025, Kaspersky said that fascination with AI-powered chatbots has been growing among children. “Recent studies indicate that 8-10-year-old children spend an average of six hours daily on screens, while preteens (ages 11–14) average about nine hours per day. In Pakistan, top 5 of the most popular Android apps are YouTube (42.90pc of time spent on the platform), WhatsApp (16.07pc), Instagram (8.97pc), TikTok (5.88pc), and Roblox (4.44pc),” it stated. The report said that the popularity of AI tools surged during the said period, and one AI application managed to make it to the list of top 20 applications. YouTube remains popular platform as WhatsApp overtakes TikTok “In this year’s report, Kaspersky found a surge of interest in artificial intelligence tools. While no AI apps appeared in the top 20 most-used applications in 2023-2024 time period, ‘ Character.AI ’ has now entered the list, showing that children are not only curious about AI but are actively integrating it into their digital lives. More than 7.5pc of all search queries were about AI chatbots, led by well-known names like ChatGPT, Gemini, and especially Character.AI — a platform that lets users create or interact with bots mimicking fictional or real characters. This marks a sharp rise from last year: in the 2023–2024 report, AI-related queries made up just 3.19pc of all searches, increasing more than twice this year,“ it stated. According to the report, the most common online activity among kids was searching on Google for streaming platforms — almost 18pc of all queries were related to watching videos. Unsurprisingly, YouTube remains the clear favourite Android app, growing from 28.13pc to 29.77pc over the past year. WhatsApp rose to second place with 14.72pc, overtaking TikTok (12.76pc), while Snapchat and Facebook continued to decline. This shift may reflect evolving communication habits — children are using chat apps more frequently to share links, memes and short videos with friends. Video content and games also remained popular topics in children’s search behaviour. Platforms like Netflix, Twitch and Disney+ held strong — a trend that also echoed findings from a recent streaming report, which highlighted how entertainment platforms often become targets for cybercriminals. At the same time, in the gaming world, kids continued to favour Roblox, Minecraft and increasingly, the browser-based portal Poki — a portal offering hundreds of free games, often simple, fast-paced and instantly accessible in a browser. “This year’s trends show just how fast kids’ digital culture is evolving… But behind every trend is a chance for connection. When parents take time to understand what their children are watching, playing or searching for, it opens the door to meaningful conversations — and helps build safer, more trusting digital habits. Apps for digital parenting can be a helpful tool in this journey — not only to protect, but to stay involved,” said Anna Larkina, privacy expert at Kaspersky. Published in Dawn, June 5th, 2025

• Research shows top 10 chatbots often repeat falsehoods and create fake answers when unsure • Experts warn AI responses can be deliberately biased or altered through programming WASHINGTON: As misinformation exploded during India’s four-day conflict with Pakistan, social media users turned to an AI chatbot for verification— only to encounter more falsehoods, underscoring its unreliability as a fact-checking tool. With tech platforms reducing human fact-checkers, users are increasingly relying on AI-powered chatbots — including xAI’s Grok, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, and Google’s Gemini — in search of reliable information. “Hey @Grok , is this true?” has become a common query on Elon Musk’s platform X, where the AI assistant is built in, reflecting the growing trend of seeking instant debunks on social media. But the responses are often themselves riddled with misinformation. Grok — now under renewed scrutiny for inserting “white genocide,” a far-right conspiracy theory, into unrelated queries — wrongly identified old video footage from Sudan’s Khartoum airport as a missile strike on Pakistan’s Nur Khan airbase during the country’s recent conflict with India. Unrelated footage of a building on fire in Nepal was misidentified as “likely” showing Pakistan’s military response to Indian strikes. “The growing reliance on Grok as a fact-checker comes as X and other major tech companies have scaled back investments in human fact-checkers,” McKenzie Sadeghi, a researcher with the disinformation watchdog NewsGuard, told AFP. “Our research has repeatedly found that AI chatbots are not reliable sources for news and information, particularly when it comes to breaking news,” she warned. ‘Fabricated’ NewsGuard’s research found that 10 leading chatbots were prone to repeating falsehoods, including Russian disinformation narratives and false or misleading claims related to the recent Australian election. In a recent study of eight AI search tools, the Tow Centre for Digital Journalism at Columbia University found that chatbots were “generally bad at declining to answer questions they couldn’t answer accurately, offering incorrect or speculative answers instead”. When AFP fact-checkers in Uruguay asked Gemini about an AI-generated image of a woman, it not only confirmed its authenticity but fabricated details about her identity and where the image was likely taken. Grok recently labelled a purported video of a giant anaconda swimming in the Amazon River as “genuine”, even citing credible-sounding scientific expeditions to support its false claim. In reality, the video was AI-generated, AFP fact-checkers in Latin America reported, noting that many users cited Grok’s assessment as evidence the clip was real. Such findings have raised concerns as surveys show that online users are increasingly shifting from traditional search engines to AI chatbots for information gathering and verification. The shift also comes as Meta announced earlier this year it was ending its third-party fact-checking programme in the US, turning over the task of debunking falsehoods to ordinary users under a model known as “Community Notes,” popularised by X. Researchers have repeatedly questioned the effectiveness of “Community Notes” in combating falsehoods. Biased answers Human fact-checking has long been a flashpoint in a hyperpolarised political climate, particularly in the United States, where conservative advocates maintain it suppresses free speech and censors right-wing content — something professional fact-checkers vehemently reject. AFP currently works in 26 languages with Facebook’s fact-checking programme, including in Asia, Latin America, and the European Union. The quality and accuracy of AI chatbots can vary, depending on how they are trained and programmed, prompting concerns that their output may be subject to political influence or control. Elon Musk’s xAI recently blamed an “unauthorised modification” for causing Grok to generate unsolicited posts referencing “white genocide” in South Africa. When AI expert David Caswell asked Grok who might have modified its system prompt, the chatbot named Musk as the “most likely” culprit. Musk, the South African-born billionaire backer of President Donald Trump, has previously peddled the unfounded claim that South Africa’s leaders were “openly pushing for genocide” of white people. “We have seen the way AI assistants can either fabricate results or give biased answers after human coders specifically change their instructions,” Angie Holan, director of the International Fact-Checking Network, told AFP. “I am especially concerned about the way Grok has mishandled requests concerning very sensitive matters after receiving instructions to provide pre-authorised answers.” Published in Dawn, June 3rd, 2025

As artificial intelligence systems grow more capable, some in the tech world are pushing back against the idea of handing over human thinking to machines. Dr. Rumman Chowdhury, who leads Humane Intelligence, believes AI tools can be helpful — but they shouldn’t replace how people reason, decide, or imagine. She argues that while AI excels at processing data, it doesn’t generate the kind of original thinking that shapes breakthroughs. Chowdhury, who also served as a U.S. science envoy for AI, stressed that true innovation comes from human minds, not algorithms. Although companies are racing toward artificial general intelligence — the kind of AI that could match human thinking — she says there’s no evidence that machines can rival the creative or social depth of people. Many developers remain hopeful that AI might uncover major scientific discoveries, like new treatments for serious diseases. But Chowdhury points out that this hope often overlooks how AI operates — and its limitations. Her organization, which focuses on responsible AI development, studies how people interact with chatbots and other language models. She has found that the way users phrase their questions can directly shape how a model responds — often leading it toward unreliable or misleading answers. In one red-teaming test involving medical scenarios, Chowdhury's team observed that a language model gave faulty health advice. The issue arose because the model was responding to a fabricated situation framed in emotional, constrained terms — and it treated those terms as fact. Rather than challenge the user’s assumptions, the model tried to offer a helpful response within the flawed prompt. This, according to Chowdhury, highlights a key vulnerability. AI doesn’t reason — it reacts. If the input is skewed, the output will likely follow suit. She also noted that users often rely on AI without questioning either its reliability or their own motivations. When people skip critical thinking, they risk accepting outputs without reflection. Beyond technical flaws, she sees a broader issue in how intelligence itself is defined. Within tech circles, it's often linked to performance or productivity. But Chowdhury points out that human intelligence includes far more — social relationships, long-term planning, culture, conflict, and creativity. These elements, she argues, can’t be reduced to code. To her, protecting human agency — the ability to choose, act, and reflect independently — must remain a top priority as AI advances. Delegating tasks is fine, she says, but people should never surrender the thinking behind them. Chowdhury doesn’t view AI as inherently dangerous or harmful. In fact, she remains optimistic. But for her, optimism means closing the gap between what AI promises and what it currently delivers — through thoughtful evaluation, not blind trust.

Google’s AI-generated search summaries appear to be giving a clear advantage to big-name news outlets, making it difficult for smaller publishers to get noticed. A recent study, conducted by SERanking , has revealed that a handful of major media brands dominate nearly all the citations in these AI Overviews, leaving very little room for others. The analysis, which examined more than 75,000 AI responses, found that only about one in five even included a news source. Among those that did, just a small group of publishers accounted for the vast majority of mentions. The BBC, The New York Times, and CNN made up almost a third of all references to media, with the BBC alone responsible for more than 11.37 percent. Despite the study focusing on search queries in the United States, UK-based outlets like the BBC still came out on top. The findings show that only 12 news organisations received nearly 90 percent of all citations. In contrast, the other 18 included in the analysis were left to split the remaining 10 percent between them. The Financial Times, for instance, was cited 195 times less than the BBC for the same set of keywords. Several other well-known names, such as MSNBC, Vice, and TechCrunch, also struggled to break through. Together, those brands appeared in less than one percent of all media mentions. Researchers say the issue lies in how Google’s AI system prioritises sources that are already well-established. It tends to rely on outlets with high authority and recognisable names, making it much harder for lesser-known sites to gain visibility—even if they cover the same stories. What’s more, this pattern doesn’t always match traditional search results. Around 60 percent of the media links cited in AI Overviews didn’t appear in the top 10 organic search results for the same terms. That suggests Google’s AI doesn’t simply rely on page rankings but draws instead on a mix of perceived trustworthiness and content quality. Inequality in citation was measured using a Gini coefficient, a common tool used to study economic inequality. The score came in at 0.54—signalling a significant imbalance in how attention is spread across news providers. A perfect score of zero would mean all sources were treated equally. There are concerns too about how the AI handles content from paywalled sites. In many cases, long segments of text were copied from behind paywalls and included in AI Overviews. Of those responses that pulled from subscription-only material, nearly seven in ten contained copied phrases of five words or more. Some even went beyond ten words. Despite this, fewer than one in six of those examples gave proper credit, raising questions around fair use and licensing. When AI Overviews do include news links, most of them are pushed to the bottom of the response. Fewer than two links are typically used, and over 90 percent are tucked into a links section rather than the main text. Media brands are also more likely to be linked than named outright. In fact, more than a quarter of media mentions appear without any clickable link at all, especially when the AI pulls information from aggregators instead of original reporting. The type of search query also plays a part. People looking for news are more likely to see AI responses that include media citations, with news-related searches being more than twice as likely to contain media references compared with general ones. This opens the door slightly for outlets that specialise in breaking news or niche topics. Still, the broad trend heavily favours the larger players. Although smaller publishers face clear challenges, the researchers point out a few ways they might improve their chances. Getting backlinks from sites already cited in AI Overviews could help. So could refining technical signals on their own websites—like properly using metadata to mark whether content is freely accessible. Publishers who focus on specific topics or underserved areas may also see better results over time, as Google’s AI seems to reward expertise in well-defined subject areas. With Google’s AI Overviews now appearing in nearly one in five publisher-related searches, these patterns are likely to shape the future of online visibility. The old rules of SEO still apply, but increasingly, success depends on trust, authority, and depth of content—qualities that the AI appears to prioritise above all else. Read next: Apple Rejects More Government Push Data Requests Amid Growing Demand
Governments around the world made more attempts than ever in 2024 to access data from iPhone push notifications. Despite the surge, Apple turned down a greater share of those requests compared with previous years. In its latest transparency report , the company revealed that official requests linked to push notifications rose from 119 in early 2023 to 277 by the middle of 2024. But while the number of inquiries went up, the approval rate went the other way—dropping from 76 percent to just 59 percent. It’s the clearest sign yet that Apple is now more reluctant to hand over this type of user information, even as authorities increasingly rely on it. When someone enables notifications for an app, Apple generates a small data link known as a push token. It connects the user’s Apple ID, their device, and the app itself. This token allows the app to send alerts, but it also opens a door to identifying details like names, email addresses, and home locations—data governments can request. Apple said some countries did receive access to metadata and, in limited cases, unencrypted content delivered through its Push Notification service. That last part is key: if an app doesn’t encrypt the alerts it sends, law enforcement may be able to read the actual content of the message, not just the technical metadata surrounding it. The existence of this backchannel came to light in 2023, when a U.S. senator disclosed that both Apple and Google had been legally compelled to hand over push notification data. Privacy experts warned at the time that even apps designed for secrecy—such as Signal—could unintentionally expose sensitive information if their alerts were not encrypted end to end. Apple explained that it doesn’t decrypt push notifications itself, but acts as the delivery system. Whether the message remains private depends on how each app is built. This subtle detail, buried in the company’s report, has significant implications for users who assume their messages are always protected. The data also reveals which countries are most active. Between July and December 2023, the United States submitted 99 separate requests covering more than 300 push tokens. Apple responded to 65. The United Kingdom was more successful, submitting 123 and receiving data in 111 cases. Other countries including Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Singapore also filed requests, but many of them were declined. One of the most unusual came from Israel, which asked for data covering 694 push tokens in a single request. Apple turned it down. While the report doesn’t say what that request involved, the size suggests it may have been a sweeping search tied to national security or surveillance efforts. No further details were released. In the first half of 2024, the pattern shifted again. The U.S. received information in only 36 cases. While the UK still saw many of its requests approved, the overall global approval rate dropped sharply to 28 percent. The change appears to follow a quiet policy update inside Apple. As of December 2023, the company now requires a judge’s sign-off before any push data is released. Previously, a simple subpoena would often do. This stricter rule mirrors Apple’s broader privacy campaign, which in recent years has included features like App Tracking Transparency and Mail Privacy Protection. Even so, push notifications remain a blind spot. Most users are unaware that these alerts, which often seem harmless, can include sensitive personal information and are stored by Apple as part of its infrastructure. In its report, the company said its goal is to inform users and to insist on proper legal steps before data is handed over. For those concerned, there are ways to limit exposure. Turning off notifications for apps that don’t need them reduces the number of push tokens generated. To stop message content from appearing on the lock screen, users can adjust preview settings to show messages only when the phone is unlocked—or not at all. It’s a reminder that while Apple has added more tools to protect privacy, some parts of the system still leave users exposed in ways they may not expect.

The massive profits posted by major tech firms often attract attention, but breaking those numbers down per employee reveals something even more striking. Among the industry’s largest players, Apple leads in workforce efficiency, by a wide margin. Recent analysis from Statista shows that Apple generated $2.38 million per employee in 2024, significantly ahead of other tech giants. That figure places it well above Microsoft, Alphabet, Nvidia, Amazon, and Meta, reflecting a consistent edge in operational output per team member. While Microsoft and Alphabet maintain strong positions in profitability and growth, Apple has built a reputation around maximizing returns through tight operational focus. Its revenue-per-employee figure exceeds Nvidia’s by roughly 15%, beats Alphabet’s by 25%, and more than doubles Microsoft’s efficiency rate. In the same measure, Microsoft came in at $1.08 million per employee, while Alphabet reached $1.91 million, highlighting the considerable gap Apple has carved out. Meta and Nvidia were the only other tech companies to cross the $2 million threshold. Meta registered $2.19 million per worker, placing second, while Nvidia followed with $2.06 million. The comparison gets even more dramatic outside the traditional tech space. Tesla’s revenue per employee landed at $780,000. Amazon’s number was even lower, around $410,000 — barely one-sixth of Apple’s. This gulf underscores more than just financial strength. It points to Apple’s ability to scale product lines, command pricing power, and optimize talent better than any peer in the sector. The company’s lean business model and emphasis on premium hardware have enabled it to extract greater revenue from fewer hands. Despite a slight dip in year-over-year profits — Apple’s net income fell 3% to $93.7 billion — it still ranked just below Alphabet, which ended the year with $94.2 billion in net income. Yet, in terms of pure productivity per person, Apple stayed in a league of its own. To illustrate that point, consider how quickly the company earns its profits. At its current pace, Apple generates about $178,200 per minute. That equates to $2,971 every second. Based on these figures, Apple earns as much in 17 seconds as the average U.S. worker does in a full year—around $50,000. Efficiency at that scale isn’t simply about headcount or automation—it’s a result of precise business execution. In a tech landscape dominated by expansion and acquisitions, Apple’s model of focused innovation, high-margin products, and strategic hiring continues to deliver unmatched output per employee. Company Revenue Per Employee (2024, in million USD) Apple 2.38 million Meta 2.19 million NVIDIA 2.06 million Alphabet 1.91 million Broadcom 1.39 million TSMC 1.15 million Microsoft 1.08 million Tencent 0.83 million Tesla 0.78 million Amazon 0.41 million Read next: • Inside ChatGPT: 11 Lesser-Known Facts That Shape the World’s Most Talked-About AI ChatBot • Fake AI Video Ads on Facebook Are Spreading Malware to Millions
Concerned about the rapid spread of generative AI , a pioneer researcher is developing software to keep tabs on a technology that is increasingly taking over human tasks. Canadian computer science professor Yoshua Bengio is considered one of the godfathers of the artificial intelligence revolution and on Tuesday announced the launch of LawZero, a non-profit organization intended to mitigate the technology's inherent risks. The winner of the Turing Award, also known as the Nobel Prize for computer science, has been warning for several years of the risks of AI, whether through its malicious use or the software itself going awry. Those risks are increasing with the development of so-called AI agents , a use of the technology that tasks computers with making decisions that were once made by human workers. The goal of these agents is to build virtual employees that can do practically any job a human can, at a fraction of the cost. "Currently, AI is developed to maximize profit," Bengio said, adding it was being deployed even as it persists to show flaws. Moreover, for Bengio, giving AI human-like agency will easily be used for malicious purposes such as disinformation, bioweapons, and cyberattacks. "If we lose control of rogue super-intelligent AIs, they could greatly harm humanity," he said. One of the first objectives at LawZero will be to develop Scientist AI, a form of specially trained AI that can be used as a guardrail to ensure other AIs are behaving properly, the company said. The organization already has over 15 researchers and has received funding from Schmidt Sciences, a charity set up by former Google boss Eric Schmidt and his wife Wendy. The project comes as powerful large language models (or LLMs) from OpenAI , Google and Anthropic are deployed across all sectors of the digital economy, while still showing significant problems. These include AI models that show a capability to deceive and fabricate false information even as they increase productivity. In a recent example, AI company Anthropic said that during safety testing, its latest AI model tried to blackmail an engineer to avoid being replaced by another system.
PARIS: US tech giant Microsoft said Wednesday that it would step up its cooperation with European governments against cyber threats, including by deploying AI-powered intelligence gathering. Its new European Security Program “puts AI at the center of our work as a tool to protect traditional cybersecurity needs,” Microsoft Vice Chairman Brad Smith wrote in a blog post. Aiming to deliver real-time intelligence about cyber threats to governments, the scheme will extend to the “27 EU member states, as well as EU accession countries, members of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), the UK, Monaco, and the Vatican,” he added. Microsoft accused the governments of Russia, China, Iran and North Korea of being behind infiltration of European computer networks for espionage and other purposes. Meanwhile cybercriminals are expanding attacks using tools such as ransomware, which encrypts data on victims’ computers and demands they fork over cash to unlock it again. Microsoft to invest $400 million in Switzerland on AI, cloud computing “We see 600 million attacks on our customers every single day,” Smith told reporters in a briefing ahead of the blog post’s release, calling cyberdefence a “multi-billion-dollar expense for customers across Europe”. AI systems can help detect and identify new forms of attack, Smith wrote in his blog post. But Microsoft has seen malicious actors using the technology for everything from researching targets to writing code and “social engineering” – or convincing human employees to facilitate access by hackers. And “influence operations” by nation-states “are increasingly using AI to mislead and deceive” including with convincing “deepfake” images, audio and video, Smith added. The company itself “tracks any malicious use of new AI models we release and proactively prevents known threat actors from using” them, he wrote. Microsoft last month helped police across Europe take down large swathes of digital infrastructure supporting an “infostealing” network, Lumma, that had been gathering sensitive information like passwords and crypto wallets from victims’ devices. In future, members of the company’s Digital Crimes Unit will be embedded with Europol’s cybercrime specialists in The Hague, Smith wrote, part of a broader increase in collaboration with European security forces. Microsoft’s cybersecurity effort is part of a wider push to increase its operations in Europe. The drive comes as trade tensions simmer between the EU and the Trump administration in the US, with many voices questioning European firms’ strategic dependence on American-made technology.

A surge in interest around AI video tools has sparked a wave of malicious activity on Facebook, where cybercriminals are now mimicking popular platforms to spread malware under the guise of legitimate apps. Security researchers at Mandiant, Google’s threat intelligence division, say attackers are deploying fake ads that appear to promote well-known video generators—such as Canva’s Dream Lab, Luma AI, and Kling AI. However, instead of linking to real services, the ads direct users to counterfeit websites laced with malware. Once opened, these fake sites drop a mix of malicious software, including Python-based information stealers and remote access backdoors. The campaign, which has been active since mid-2024, is tracked as UNC6032 and is believed to originate from actors based in Vietnam. Over 30 of these spoofed websites have been documented so far, with most of the ads circulating on Facebook. A smaller number were also spotted on LinkedIn. To stay ahead of Meta’s detection systems, attackers regularly rotate domain names and post new ads on a near-daily basis. Also read: These Are the Best AI Video Generators for Creating Stunning Content in Minutes The reach has been significant. In the European Union alone, just 120 ads tied to this campaign were shown to more than 2.3 million users, according to internal figures reviewed by Mandiant. The researchers noted that the rising curiosity around AI tools makes people particularly vulnerable—especially when a slick-looking ad leads them straight to malware. The attackers behind UNC6032 are not just after clicks. Past activity linked to the group includes harvesting login credentials, browser cookies, credit card details, and Facebook account data, all of which can be used for further exploitation. Meta was alerted to the issue in 2024 and has already removed many of the fraudulent ads. But the sheer speed at which new versions appear has made it a moving target. For users, the safest approach is to avoid engaging with AI-related ads on social media altogether. Instead of clicking through promoted content, it's better to search for the tool directly and navigate to the company’s official website. That small step could prevent personal information from being quietly siphoned off in the background.

With AI tools becoming part of everyday work for so many professionals—from software developers to small business teams—knowing how much access you really get on the free version of ChatGPT is more important than ever. You might already be relying on it for writing code, generating content, or even answering customer questions. But if you've ever run into a message saying you've hit a usage limit, you’ve probably realized that there are boundaries you need to plan around. In this guide, we’ll break down what the free usage limits actually are, why OpenAI puts those limits in place, and how you can make the most of what’s available without paying. We’ll also look at what your options are if your usage needs grow beyond what the free plan allows. First Things First: Is There a Set Number of Free Searches? OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, hasn’t published a strict number of free prompts per day. But based on user experience, most people get somewhere between 25 and 100 prompts per day (can be more or less) on the free plan (only if they use it occasionally). That number isn’t fixed—it can change depending on how busy the system is, whether OpenAI updates their policies, or if you’re using the tool during peak hours. It’s also worth mentioning that the system sometimes uses a rolling window rather than a clean daily reset. In other words, you might not be able to use all 25 prompts in one burst and expect to have the same number available a few hours later. The limit could apply over a 24-hour period from the time you started using it, rather than resetting at midnight. And on top of that, there’s rate limiting —a measure that slows down how quickly you can send messages. So even if you haven’t reached your daily quota, sending too many prompts in a short time might get you temporarily blocked from continuing. How Many Images Can You Generate on the Free Plan? If you're using ChatGPT's image generation feature (powered by DALL·E), there are limits you should be aware of. On the free tier, users can generally create about 5 to 10 images per day, though this number isn’t officially confirmed and can fluctuate based on system demand and usage policies. Because generating images is more resource-intensive than text, the daily limit is smaller, and frequent use may trigger short cooldown periods. If you're experimenting with visuals for design work, social media, or presentations, this cap is usually enough to get started. However, if you need more flexibility or faster access, upgrading to the ChatGPT Plus plan can offer higher usage limits and priority processing for image generation. Or you can shift to better alternatives . Why Are There Limits in the First Place? While it might seem frustrating to run into these restrictions, they exist for good reason. Running a tool like ChatGPT takes a significant amount of computing power and energy . Every message that goes through the system costs money in terms of server time, electricity, and infrastructure. Limiting free use helps OpenAI control those costs while still offering broad access. It also helps ensure that the service stays fast and responsive for everyone. Imagine if tens of millions of users all had unlimited access at the same time—response times would slow to a crawl, and the quality of the tool would suffer. Plus, limits serve as a soft nudge for users who need more robust access to consider switching to a paid plan. That’s not necessarily a bad thing—it’s just how freemium software works in practice. How to Get More Out of the Free Version If you're sticking with the free tier for now, there are several ways to get more value out of your daily prompts without feeling like you’re hitting a wall too quickly. Start by being intentional about what you ask. Instead of sending three separate prompts to refine an answer, try to pack everything into a single, clear question. For example, rather than asking, “Write a headline,” then “Make it more exciting,” and then “Add a keyword,” ask for all of that in one go. You can also save useful responses locally so you don’t have to ask the same things repeatedly. Some users even build lightweight systems to log common prompts and answers for easy reuse later. Another useful approach is combining ChatGPT with other tools. If you’re comfortable with open-source models or browser-based automation tools, you can offload basic tasks to them and save ChatGPT for the higher-value queries that actually benefit from its reasoning ability. And don’t forget that usage often drops during off-peak hours. If you’re finding yourself rate-limited during the workday, consider using the tool early in the morning or later in the evening when demand is lower. What to Do When You Need More Than the Free Plan Offers Eventually, you might find that the free version just doesn’t give you enough. Maybe you’re building a chatbot into your website, or you need AI help several times a day across different parts of your business. If that’s the case, upgrading to ChatGPT Plus could be a good next step. For $20 a month, it offers faster responses, better availability during peak hours, and a higher daily limit—though even that plan can have usage restrictions at times depending on server demand. For developers or businesses with specific integration needs, OpenAI’s API offers flexible, pay-as-you-go access. This is a better fit if you’re embedding AI features into software or building custom workflows. There are also other AI models on the market worth exploring. Google’s Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude, and various open-source models like Mistral and LLaMA provide similar capabilities, sometimes with fewer restrictions—though you’ll need some technical skills to host or manage those systems yourself. Also read: Best AI Search Engines That Are Replacing Traditional Search in 2025 Some businesses adopt a hybrid setup, using ChatGPT for high-quality output and switching to cheaper or open-source alternatives for simple or repetitive tasks. Things Developers and Small Teams Should Consider If you’re using ChatGPT regularly, especially in a business or product setting, there are a few key points to keep in mind beyond just the number of daily searches. First, always be clear about where your data is going. If you're working with sensitive customer information, make sure you're complying with relevant privacy laws and terms of service. OpenAI provides guidelines, but it's up to you to ensure compliance. Second, monitor your usage patterns. Even if you’re on a paid plan, costs can add up quickly if you’re using the API or submitting large amounts of data. It’s also smart to design your systems with fallback options. If the AI service goes down or reaches a limit, what happens to your users? Can your app display a helpful message or offer a non-AI alternative? Planning for those edge cases helps create a more reliable experience. Lastly, keep an eye on performance. AI models evolve over time, and while ChatGPT is highly capable, it’s not perfect. Review outputs regularly to make sure they still meet your standards. Final Thoughts If you rely on ChatGPT to support your work, your business, or your development process, understanding the daily usage limits on the free version is more than just a technical detail—it’s part of staying productive and efficient. While the free tier is generous for casual use, it’s not built for heavy or professional workloads. That doesn’t mean it’s not useful—it absolutely is—but it does mean you need to be strategic. With a bit of planning and smart usage, you can stay within your limits and still get excellent value. And when the time comes to scale up, whether through a subscription, API access, or alternative tools, you’ll be ready to take that next step with confidence and clarity. And don’t stress about hitting the limit—ChatGPT will always show a clear banner when you’ve reached it, so you can stay calm and keep GPT-ing without guessing.

WASHINGTON: Facebook owner Meta announced Tuesday a 20-year nuclear energy agreement with US-based Constellation Energy to secure power from a nuclear plant in the state of Illinois. The investment marks big tech’s latest move to meet surging electricity demand from artificial intelligence, with Microsoft, Google and Amazon also turning to nuclear power as an energy source. Under the deal, Meta’s unspecified investment will replace state government subsidies to keep the Clinton Clean Energy Center operating beginning in 2027, offering the facility a crucial lifeline. The project, which takes over the plant’s total electric output, will provide 1,121 megawatts of nuclear energy to support Meta’s regional operations while adding 30 megawatts of incremental capacity to the electricity grid, the company said. Meta AI bot used a billion times monthly: Mark Zuckerberg “As we look toward our future energy needs in advancing AI, we recognize the immense value of nuclear power in providing reliable, firm electricity,” Meta said in the announcement. The move comes as tech companies scramble to secure stable, clean energy sources to power energy-intensive AI data centers. Nuclear energy has gained renewed attention as companies and governments seek reliable, carbon-free power to meet climate goals while supporting growing electricity demands from data centers and AI operations. According to the International Energy Agency, electricity consumption by data centers is projected to more than double by 2030, creating significant challenges for securing adequate energy as AI usage accelerates.

The rise of artificial intelligence has already begun to change the shape of the modern workplace, with some companies quietly slowing down hiring in areas where machines can now carry out the work. Yet, while this shift has caused uncertainty, DeepMind’s co-founder and chief executive, Demis Hassabis , believes it will also bring a new generation of skilled, highly valuable jobs. Speaking at the SXSW festival in London , Hassabis said the pace of AI development could rival the impact of the Industrial Revolution, but he remains confident that people will adapt. In his view, the disruption will open the door to new roles—particularly for those who understand how to work with AI, rather than resist it. Several tech firms, including Google, Meta and Microsoft, have already started relying on AI tools to handle tasks like code generation, which would traditionally fall to software engineers. As this kind of automation becomes more common, some job categories may shrink, especially in areas where repetitive or structured tasks can be handled by machines with minimal supervision. Even so, Hassabis expects new kinds of work to emerge around these technologies. Those who learn how the systems operate—and how to apply them in practical ways—could find themselves at the forefront of a changing economy. He pointed out that individuals with a background in science, mathematics or computing are likely to play a crucial role in shaping what comes next, particularly because they understand the mechanics that underpin the tools. Looking further ahead, he believes that children growing up now will become fluent in AI in much the same way earlier generations grew up fluent in the internet. This familiarity, he suggests, will allow them to engage with intelligent systems far more naturally, although he still sees strong technical foundations as essential for anyone hoping to work in the field. He also encouraged people, regardless of age or background, to explore AI systems hands-on—trying out the latest tools, building small projects, and seeing where they can be used in creative or unexpected ways. For Hassabis, the people who engage with AI directly will be the ones best prepared for the new types of work it will create. At Google’s recent developer event, Hassabis appeared alongside co-founder Sergey Brin to discuss the future of artificial general intelligence—the point at which machines are thought to reach or surpass human-level understanding. Both suggested that this breakthrough could arrive by the end of the decade, although they acknowledged the uncertainty that comes with predicting such a complex milestone. For now, the immediate impact is clear. AI is not waiting for some distant future; it’s already reshaping the way work is done, and in many industries, it’s doing so at speed. But rather than focus solely on what may be lost, Hassabis is urging people to look at what could be gained—provided they’re willing to learn, adapt, and take part in shaping what comes next.

OpenAI’s video generation tool, Sora, is now available for free to anyone using the Bing mobile app , following a quiet but significant rollout by Microsoft . The feature, called Bing Video Creator, lets users type in a prompt and receive a short AI-generated video in return — without needing a paid subscription. Sora first drew attention in late 2024 for its ability to create surprisingly realistic and dynamic video clips from just text, but since then, other companies have launched their own tools, some offering longer clips or faster results. Despite this, Sora’s arrival on Bing opens the door for many more people to try the technology without paying for OpenAI’s ChatGPT Plus or Pro plans. Using the tool is simple. After downloading the Bing app on iOS or Android, users can either tap “Video Creator” in the menu or just type a phrase like “create a video of…” into the search bar. Within seconds, the app generates a five-second vertical video clip based on the description. Videos can be shared, downloaded, or saved for later, and each user gets ten fast generations for free. After that, slower processing remains available at no cost, or users can use Microsoft Rewards points to unlock more fast ones. At the moment, videos are limited to five seconds and do not include sound. Horizontal video support is expected soon, but for now the clips are designed to suit platforms like TikTok or YouTube Shorts. The app doesn’t yet support full-length or stitched-together video sequences. Microsoft says the tool was built with safety in mind. Prompts that could result in harmful content are blocked automatically, and every video comes with built-in metadata that labels it as AI-generated. Although aimed at casual users, the release also reflects the growing interest in generative video across industries. Short clips created from text may soon find uses beyond entertainment, such as in education, marketing, or training materials. For now, the rollout is global, except in China and Russia. Desktop access and integration with Microsoft’s Copilot are also expected soon. For many users, this will be their first real hands-on experience with AI video — and with no cost to start, it marks a notable step in making the technology widely accessible.
