# AI News Digest - 2026-05-03

1. Elon Musk testified in the first week of his trial against OpenAI, said he had been duped, sought removal of Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, warned that AI could destroy humanity, and admitted that his xAI unit had distilled OpenAI's models for its own use.

2. OpenAI turned on marketing cookies by default for free ChatGPT users in countries where ads were running, automatically enabling tracking for free accounts while keeping tracking off for paying subscribers; users could disable the setting in their account preferences.

3. Meta acquired Assured Robot Intelligence to accelerate its humanoid-robotics efforts and to pursue an open platform for the industry.

4. The ARC Prize Foundation analyzed 160 runs of OpenAI's GPT-5.5 and Anthropic's Opus 4.7 on the ARC-AGI-3 benchmark and found three systematic reasoning error patterns that explained why both models scored below one percent on tasks humans solved easily.
