Hub AI in practice

Artificial Intelligence is present in everyday life – from “googling” to facial recognition to vacuum cleaner robots. AI tools are becoming more and more elaborate and support people and companies more effectively in their tasks, such as generating graphics, texting or coding, or interpreting large amounts of data.

What AI tools are there, how do they work, how do they help in our everyday world – and how do they change our lives? These are the questions we address in our Content Hub Artificial Intelligence in Practice.

Deutsche Telekom and Nvidia are joining forces to build the "Industrial AI Cloud" in Munich, set to become one of the largest AI computing hubs in Europe. The center will feature more than 1,000 NVIDIA DGX B200 systems and RTX PRO servers, with up to 10,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs. According to Telekom, this will increase Germany's AI computing power by 50 percent. For comparison's sake, Sam Altman recently said that OpenAI will have "well over one million GPUs" online by the end of 2025. That's just OpenAI.

"Germany's strength in engineering and industry is legendary and will now be further enhanced by AI."

Jensen Huang, Nvidia CEO

The new initiative aims to give European companies the ability to build AI solutions using local data. Early partners are SAP, Polarise, and Agile Robots. The platform is intended to support applications such as factory simulation, robot training, and running large language models on site. The project, valued at over one billion euros, is privately funded and separate from the EU’s AI gigafactory funding program.

Coca-Cola is using generative AI for its “Holidays Are Coming” Christmas ads again this year. After facing backlash for last year's AI-driven campaign, Coca-Cola once again partnered with Silverside AI and Secret Level studios to create videos with fewer noticeable AI-related errors.

According to Chief Marketing Officer Manolo Arroyo, production and editing ran significantly faster and cheaper than with traditional shoots - about a month instead of a full year. The AI generated over 70,000 video clips, which artists then refined and polished. Coca-Cola says it plans to expand its use of AI in future projects.

Rumors on LinkedIn claim that ChatGPT is no longer allowed to give medical or legal advice, but OpenAI says that’s false. The company says the model’s behavior has not changed. Karan Singhal, OpenAI’s Head of Medical AI, says ChatGPT was never meant to replace expert advice, but can still help users understand complex medical or legal topics.

OpenAI’s usage policy change logs show no recent changes to how sensitive topics are handled. The most recent update on October 29, 2025, was made to "reflect a universal set of policies across OpenAI products and services."

OpenAI’s usage policy change logs show no recent changes to how sensitive content is handled. The latest update on October 29, 2025, was made to unify the rules across all products. A line warning about giving advice that “requires a license” was already in earlier versions. Older policies included similar notes, just without the licensing reference.

OpenAI has signed a $38 billion multi-year deal with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to run and expand its AI models using AWS infrastructure. The partnership includes access to AWS UltraServers powered by hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GPUs and scalable CPUs. The agreement runs through at least 2026, with extension options. OpenAI's flagship models, such as GPT-5, will remain exclusive to Microsoft Azure and OpenAI's own platform, except for its open-source models.

The AWS deal adds to a string of recent partnerships by OpenAI: with Nvidia and Broadcom for at least 10 gigawatts of compute each, AMD for up to 6 gigawatts, and Oracle for 4.5 gigawatts.

Udio, an AI music startup, recently reached a settlement with Universal Music Group. While the agreement ends an ongoing copyright lawsuit, it also brought sweeping new restrictions that have angered many users. Songs generated with Udio can no longer be downloaded, streamed, or used in personal projects.

On platforms like Reddit and Discord, frustrated users have voiced their anger and announced plans to leave Udio altogether. During an online meeting, Udio CEO Andrew Sanchez offered free credits as compensation but stopped short of promising any policy changes. Looking ahead, Udio and Universal plan to launch a paid music service next year that will feature fully licensed material.

OpenAI is piloting Aardvark, a security tool built on GPT-5 that scans software code for vulnerabilities. The system is designed to work like a security analyst: it reviews code repositories, flags potential risks, tests whether vulnerabilities can be exploited in a sandbox, and suggests fixes.

In internal tests, OpenAI says Aardvark found 92 percent of known and intentionally added vulnerabilities. The tool has also been used on open source projects, where it identified several issues that later received CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) numbers.

Aardvark is already in use on some internal systems and with selected partners. For now, it's available only in a closed beta, and developers can apply here. Anthropic offers a similar open source tool for its Claude model.

OpenAI has launched gpt-oss-safeguard, a new set of open source models built for flexible security classification. The models come in two sizes, 120b and 20b, and are available under the Apache 2.0 license for anyone to use and modify. Unlike traditional classifiers that need to be retrained whenever safety rules change, these models can interpret policies in real time, according to OpenAI. This lets organizations update their rules instantly, without retraining the model.

The models are designed to be more transparent as well. Developers can see exactly how the models make decisions, making it easier to understand and audit how security is enforced. gpt-oss-safeguard is based on OpenAI's gpt-oss open source model and is part of a larger collaboration with ROOST, an open source platform focused on building tools and infrastructure for AI safety, security, and governance.
