In recent years, the world has seen an unprecedented rise in the development and use of artificial intelligence programs. Tune in to TAG24 NEWS for the latest updates on AI from across the world.

With the sudden popularity and success of OpenAI's ChatGPT both for commercial customers and the general public, AI has quickly entered the mainstream. Now, numerous programs are making their way into everyday life – for better or for worse.

The usefulness, potential, and power of AI is up for debate, with many disagreeing on whether it is a force for good or not. Some say it is the future, while others point to it as a damaging new technology that will inevitably lead to devastating job losses and terrible environmental consequences.

AI programs – notably, Elon Musk's Grok – have also been the center of major scandals due to a severe lack of safeguards against their use for criminal activity or promoting hate. OpenAI, for example, was forced to apologize in 2026 for not notifying authorities of a ChatGPT account which was later found to be linked to a school shooting in Canada.

AI has also been increasingly used for surveillance and war purposes, prompting warnings from human rights groups about its use. Meanwhile, protests continue around the US against the construction of data centers powering its development.

As the world of AI rapidly expands, TAG24 NEWS is covering the biggest stories, updates, and controversies surrounding this emerging technology.
