AI Powered Shake Ups This Week: From AI Law Firms to Smart Glasses and Super Intelligence 

This week, AI news is ablaze with innovations disrupting sectors far beyond tech—law, healthcare, retail, even how we search online. Here are the five hottest stories every savvy business leader needs to watch: 

1. AI Powered Law: Crosby Launches with Sequoia Backing 


Sequoia backed startup Crosby has launched a novel AI powered law firm, merging advanced legal expertise with generative AI tools. It differs from other 'legal AI' tech by including actual lawyers in partnership with AI systems, offering services like contract drafting, research and litigation support at scale and speed. This hybrid model could be a game changer for firms and in house counsel looking to streamline workloads, optimise costs and reduce turnaround time.  Read more

3. Google Trials Audio Overviews to Supercharge Search 



In Search Labs, Google is testing “Audio Overviews”—short, conversational summaries powered by its Gemini AI models. Users can now hear podcast style briefings summarising search results hands free. For professionals on the go or multitasking, this feature offers fast, voice first access to key insights without having to scroll or read dense pages. Early trials suggest it could evolve how we absorb information, potentially transforming internal knowledge sharing and training routines.  Read more 

4. Scale AI Meta Deal: $14.3 Billion Super Intelligent Pivot 


Meta has injected US $14.3 billion to acquire a 49 percent non voting stake in Scale AI, valuing it at US $29 billion. Founder CEO Alexandr Wang is joining Meta, tasked with building a “super intelligence” unit aimed at pushing beyond current LLM performance. This partnership makes Meta one of the biggest investors in data labelling infrastructure, but comes at a cost—Scale’s other clients (including Google and OpenAI) are stepping away. What started as a neutral data service is now a key strategic lever shaping tomorrow’s AI models.  Read more

5. Meta’s Talent War: Mega Bonuses to Lure OpenAI Talent 


Meta is intensifying the AI talent arms race. Reports suggest it offered up to US $100 million signing bonuses to key OpenAI staff, although none have jumped ship so far. Alongside high stakes investments, Meta is aggressively courting elite AI researchers to regain parity with OpenAI and Google. This sort of compensation mirrors the sports world’s mega talent deals—a sign of how fiercely companies are vying for AI leadership.  Read more

This Week in AI: ChatGPT Records Meetings, Hugging Face Powers Robotics on a MacBook, and Reddit Sues Anthropic

by aiUnlocked • 5 June 2025
OpenAI’s ChatGPT update marks a turning point in AI-as-a-service tools.

The fact that this powerful AI can run on a MacBook opens the door for small businesses to start experimenting with robotics in logistics, retail, and manufacturing—without needing enterprise-level budgets. Yet, Reddit’s legal action is a stark reminder that the race for data is heating up. As businesses integrate AI into operations, clarity on data ethics and licensing will be crucial.
