OpenAI has released a demo of an AI-powered tool for automated front-end testing on GitHub. The tool uses its Computer-Using Agent (CUA) and the Playwright open-source framework to generate, run, and evaluate test cases based on written descriptions. OpenAI says the goal is to make software testing more efficient and reliable. The project is currently a concept study and still in early stages.

The British telecom company BT Group is considering even deeper job cuts as advances in artificial intelligence reshape its business. In an interview with the Financial Times, CEO Allison Kirkby said BT's current plan to eliminate over 40,000 jobs and save three billion pounds by 2030 doesn't fully account for the potential impact of AI. The company had already announced up to 55,000 job cuts in 2023 under Kirkby's predecessor - a plan Kirkby is continuing. She suggested BT could "become even smaller" as automation accelerates. The company currently employs around 105,000 people.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is pushing back against Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, adding to a week of criticism already aimed at Amodei by Meta's AI chief researcher Yann LeCun. Speaking at VivaTech in Paris, Huang disagreed with Amodei's claim that AI could replace half of all entry-level office jobs within five years. Huang also accused Amodei of portraying AI as so dangerous that only Anthropic could develop it responsibly, while at the same time painting it as so expensive and powerful that others should be shut out. Instead, Huang called for a more open approach to AI development.

If you want things to be done safely and responsibly, you do it in the open … Don’t do it in a dark room and tell me it's safe.

LeCun, for his part, echoed Huang's remarks and renewed his criticism of Amodei.
