OpenAI and Google face lawsuits and launch new AI features

This is a collection of separate legal and business developments involving two major AI companies, OpenAI and Google.

- **OpenAI's legal and business moves**: Elon Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI, which accuses it of abandoning its original non-profit mission, is moving toward a trial. Separately, OpenAI is testing ads in its free ChatGPT service to generate new revenue and has announced several new partnerships and features, including a deal with ServiceNow and a new AI translation tool.

- **Google's legal and regulatory issues**: Google is facing multiple antitrust lawsuits, including one from consumers over its search dominance and another from publishers over its use of data to train AI. The company also agreed to settle two separate lawsuits, one for $135 million over Android data practices and another related to a teen's suicide linked to an AI chatbot.

- **New AI product launches and safety concerns**: Both companies are pushing new AI tools. Google unveiled a new AI model for analyzing DNA and rolled out AI tools for teachers, but it also had to pull some of its AI-generated health summaries after they gave dangerous advice. OpenAI is working on a dedicated ChatGPT device for 2026 and partnered with the Gates Foundation on an AI health initiative in Africa.
