Singapore Airlines (SIA) is teaming up with OpenAI to bring generative AI into the skies, marking OpenAI’s first-ever deal with a major airline.

This bold move promises to transform the passenger journey and internal operations using the same tech that powers ChatGPT.

This isn’t just a chatbot upgrade. It’s a full digital transformation aimed at making your travel experience smarter, faster, and more personal.

What to expect

• Upgraded Virtual Assistant: SIA’s website assistant is getting a GenAI brain. It will now help you plan, book, and manage trips with personalized suggestions and real-time help.
• Expanded Self-Service: More tasks can be handled directly by passengers; no more waiting for human support.
• AI in Operations: Behind the scenes, OpenAI tools will help SIA staff automate routine tasks, process complex data, and make faster decisions.

SIA plans to integrate AI into operational tools to manage complex tasks like crew scheduling, factoring in regulations, staffing, and logistics. This means fewer delays and smoother flights.

What the leaders say

George Wang, SVP IT at SIA: “By harnessing cutting-edge AI solutions, we will enhance operational efficiency and staff productivity, and elevate the end-to-end customer experience.”

Oliver Jay, MD International at OpenAI: “We’re excited to explore how advanced AI can enhance the travel experience, empower employees, and optimize complex operations.”

Singapore Airlines isn’t just using AI, it’s redefining how airlines operate and serve customers. Expect a more seamless, intuitive, and efficient journey from booking to boarding.

Lauren Bannon, 40, began experiencing unexplained weight loss and persistent stomach pain. Multiple doctors dismissed her concerns as rheumatoid arthritis or acid reflux. She was prescribed medication, but her condition worsened.

“I felt abandoned by the medical profession,” Bannon said. “It was like I was just in and out of the door, without real answers.”

Frustrated, Bannon turned to ChatGPT, a tool she already used for work in marketing.

She typed in her symptoms and asked what else could mimic arthritis. ChatGPT suggested Hashimoto’s disease, an autoimmune thyroid disorder, and told her to request a test for thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibodies.

Her doctor was skeptical, no family history, no fatigue, no classic signs. But Bannon insisted: “Just humour me,” she told them.

The outcome

Tests came back abnormal. Further scans revealed two small malignant tumors in her neck. “I know for sure the cancer would’ve spread without ChatGPT,” she said. “It 100% saved my life.”

Bannon had no textbook symptoms and normal results in routine checkups. If she had accepted the initial diagnosis and stayed on arthritis meds, the cancer might’ve gone undetected for much longer.

AI tools like ChatGPT are increasingly used to support medical decisions

• Already applied in spotting breast cancer, skin cancer, and diabetic eye disease.
• Patients use them to understand symptoms, suggest tests, and prepare for appointments.
• Bannon’s story is one of growing patient empowerment, using AI to be heard when the system fails.

AI isn’t a replacement for doctors. But it can flag rare issues, fill diagnostic gaps, and help patients push for better care.

Bannon’s advice

“I’d encourage others to use ChatGPT with caution. But it gives you something to bring to your doctor. It can’t hurt; and it might just save your life.”

ChatGPT didn’t diagnose cancer. But it asked the right question. And that changed everything.

Researchers from the University of Zurich secretly ran a months-long AI experiment on Reddit’s 3.8M-member r/changemyview community without user consent.

A group of researchers from the University of Zurich ran a covert months-long experiment using AI-generated comments to influence Reddit users without their knowledge or consent.

The experiment took place on r/changemyview, a 3.8M-member subreddit known for civil debate. The researchers deployed large language models (LLMs) to write personalized, persuasive replies, posing as real people, to see if AI could change users’ views.

The details

• AI-generated comments, posing as real users, were posted to sway opinions.
• Personas included trauma survivors and controversial political voices.
• The AI used personal data scraped from users’ histories to tailor persuasive replies.
• None of the activity was disclosed, violating subreddit and Reddit-wide rules.

This wasn’t just about bots.

It was psychological manipulation using personal data to test how effective AI can be at changing people’s minds.

Reddit’s Chief Legal Officer Ben Lee called it “deeply wrong on both a moral and legal level” and confirmed that Reddit is preparing formal legal action.

The researchers’ defense

They claim their ethics board approved the project and argue their goal was to show how AI could be misused to manipulate elections or spread hate speech.

“We believe the potential benefits of this research substantially outweigh its risks,” the researchers wrote.

The backlash

Mods of r/changemyview were outraged, calling the research “unwelcome” and “manipulative.”

They’ve filed a complaint and asked the university to block publication of the study. This experiment reveals a growing threat: AI-powered persuasion at scale, without consent. It shows how easily people can be influenced when AI knows your beliefs and can mimic your peers.

Redditors were used as test subjects.

This wasn’t just an academic exercise. It shows how powerful and subtle AI manipulation can be, especially when it mimics trusted human voices using personal data.

With generative AI becoming widespread, the risk of AI-driven manipulation is no longer theoretical. It’s real, and it just happened on one of the internet’s biggest communities.

Now Reddit, one of the world’s largest online communities, is fighting back.

Alibaba just launched Qwen3, a new series of open-source AI models that experts say could rival top systems from Google and OpenAI.

It’s a bold move in China’s growing push to dominate open-source AI.

Qwen3 isn’t just another large language model. It’s a hybrid reasoning system that blends rapid-response “non-thinking” with slower, deliberate “thinking” modes, giving developers control over performance vs. speed.

“We have seamlessly integrated thinking and non-thinking modes,” Alibaba said.

Models range from 0.6B to 235B parameters, and many are now free to download on Hugging Face, GitHub, and Alibaba Cloud. The largest version, Qwen-3-235B-A22B, beat OpenAI’s o3-mini and Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro on key coding and reasoning benchmarks, though it’s not yet publicly available.

Inside the AI

• Trained on 36T tokens
• Supports 119 languages
• Uses “mixture of experts” (MoE) architecture for efficiency
• Built for everything from mobile AI to cloud deployment

The race for dominance

Qwen3 shows that China’s AI labs are rapidly closing the gap with U.S. giants and doing it open source. It’s the latest escalation in the U.S.-China AI rivalry, despite American chip restrictions aimed at slowing Chinese progress.

“This is a significant breakthrough… despite mounting pressure from tightened U.S. export controls,” said analyst Ray Wang.

The rise

Alibaba says the Qwen series has been downloaded over 300M times, with 100K+ spinoff models on Hugging Face. With DeepSeek’s R2 on the horizon and Baidu pivoting toward open-source too, China’s AI momentum is hard to ignore.

Qwen3 proves that cutting-edge AI isn’t just coming from Silicon Valley anymore, and the open-source frontier may now be led by China.
