Apple has finally joined the AI icon race, much like Google and OpenAI, in a seemingly futile attempt to create a meaningful logo for AI. Spoiler alert: they’re just as lost as the rest. Apple’s new symbol for “Intelligence” resembles a psychedelic circle—or perhaps a lopsided infinity symbol. It might be New Siri, or maybe it’s the glow from your phone that looks like an alien spaceship landing. The takeaway? No one knows what AI should look like, so they just use friendly pastel colors and call it innovation.

Meanwhile, Ilya Sutskever, the AI expert who recently left OpenAI, has launched a new venture called Safe Superintelligence Inc. (SSI) with a few former OpenAI colleagues. Following a dramatic exit from OpenAI, likely due to disagreements on preventing a Skynet scenario, Sutskever is now focused on ensuring super-intelligent AI remains safe. SSI’s mission is to balance groundbreaking AI advancements with safety measures to avoid living out a “Black Mirror” episode.
