ZDNet has tested ChatGPT and Perplexity AI as voice assistants integrated with Apple CarPlay, finding that both significantly outperform Siri in handling complex queries. While Siri is adequate for basic tasks like playing music and setting reminders, it struggles with more challenging questions typical of AI interactions. With the new CarPlay support for third-party voice assistants, users can engage with ChatGPT and Perplexity AI hands-free in their vehicles. ChatGPT's service is available to all account types, while Perplexity requires a Pro subscription, typically costing $20 monthly. The review also highlights that ZDNet's editorial team maintains independence in their evaluations, ensuring their content remains unbiased.

Elon Musk Claims AI Will Surpass Human Intelligence by Next Year in OpenAI Trial
Elon Musk testified in U.S. District Court that artificial intelligence could become smarter than humans as soon as next year. His comments came during the opening day of a trial concerning his lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, where he accuses them of straying from the nonprofit mission of the organization. Musk emphasized the urgent need to instill values like honesty and integrity in AI systems before they surpass human intelligence, likening its development to raising a child that eventually grows beyond parental control. He criticized Altman for prioritizing profit and commercialization over the original charitable goals of OpenAI, stating that the organization was founded to ensure AI benefits humanity rather than serve corporate interests. Musk's legal team aims to restore OpenAI's commitment to developing safe, open-source AI, free from profit constraints.
