Meta Platforms has split its Responsible AI (RAI) team, with most employees moving to the generative AI team and others joining the AI infrastructure unit, according to an internal post reviewed by The Information. The reorganization follows a series of shakeups within the team, and comes as Meta invests heavily in open-source AI models to compete with OpenAI and Google. While the majority of the RAI team will sit in its generative AI unit, it will continue to support relevant cross-Meta efforts on responsible AI development and use, Meta spokesman Jon Carvill said, noting that "these changes will allow us to better scale to meet our future needs."

Sam Altman, the recently ousted CEO of OpenAI, is planning to launch a new AI company with former OpenAI president Greg Brockman expected to join. The project is still in development and the exact nature of the company is unknown, The Information reports, citing a person familiar with the matter. Altman is already talking to investors. While still CEO of OpenAI, Altman has been in talks with semiconductor executives, including chip designer Arm, about early efforts to design new chips for large AI models like GPTs. The new venture could include AI hardware devices and chip development. Altman's deep ties to Silicon Valley and support from venture capitalists could help attract talent to the new venture, including more employees who might leave OpenAI after the recent turmoil.

A new 3D printing technology can print complex robotic organs in a single pass. Vision-Controlled Jetting (VCJ) allows objects to be printed with more materials, more detail and in less time than previous technologies. Combining several techniques, the VCJ printer uses a 3D vision system to scan each printed layer and create a depth map of the object. This allows the next printing process under the ink jet nozzles to smooth out any irregularities without the need for mechanical smoothing.
The VCJ printer can print with three different building materials simultaneously. A fourth print head uses a wax substrate, which is washed off at the end of the process. In the future, VCJ could be used to print multi-material robots or cell scaffolds for tissue engineering.
