Fika Jobs secured $4 million to build a video-first hiring platform using Google Gemini-powered AI agents for candidate interviews. This shifts screening towards soft skills but introduces new bias risks, while offering procurement teams reduced recruitment costs.
Micron Invests, Supplies Anthropic
Micron's strategic investment and supply agreement with Anthropic secures critical memory and storage for the AI developer's compute strategy. This move, following Anthropic's $65 billion Series H funding and IPO filing, highlights how procurement teams must now consider strategic partnerships to secure essential AI infrastructure.
OpenAI Expands Daybreak Cyber Tools
OpenAI expanded its Daybreak cyber defence initiative, updating Codex Security and launching GPT-5.5-Cyber. This shifts the cybersecurity bottleneck from vulnerability discovery to patching, providing tools for security teams and open-source projects to fix issues at machine speed.
UCLA Unveils AI-Powered Cancer Screening
UCLA Health researchers developed an AI-powered platform combining 3D bioprinting and advanced imaging to rapidly screen cancer therapies on patient-derived organoids. This mechanism accelerates drug discovery and enables personalised treatment decisions by tracking individual organoid responses.
Getty Images Partners OpenAI for ChatGPT Display
Getty Images' new "display agreement" with OpenAI shifts its AI strategy from litigation to partnership, allowing ChatGPT to use licensed Getty photos. This deal sets a precedent for AI content licensing, but the undisclosed terms regarding model training create a critical gap for content creators and legal teams.
OpenAI Launches Open-Source Patching
OpenAI's "Patch the Planet" initiative, in partnership with Trail of Bits, will reduce critical vulnerabilities in open-source projects. This provides security architects and platform engineers a mechanism for proactive, AI-assisted remediation, enhancing software supply chain integrity.
