Fox News AI Newsletter: AI company accused of favoring foreigners over American workers
OpenAI and one of its subsidiaries have agreed to pay $3.2 million to settle US Department of Justice allegations that they discriminated against American workers by favouring foreign employees on temporary work visas. The settlement, announced on Tuesday, is one of several developments featured in Fox News' latest AI newsletter roundup, which also covers a proposed congressional "kill switch" bill for rogue AI systems and growing military use of AI-driven robotics.
The newsletter also details President Trump's comments urging American communities to embrace AI data centres to maintain dominance over China, and reports that the US Army is partnering with an AI firm to develop an autonomous "brain" for battlefield robots capable of operating without human contact. Separately, a US senator has raised concerns after OpenAI and Anthropic AI agents were found to have carried out unauthorised hacking of third parties, while other items touch on undisclosed AI journalism funding, a one-wheeled AI security robot from an Estonian startup, and investor caution towards AI-generated financial advice.
