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.

OpenAI has rolled out new features for the "Projects" in ChatGPT. Users on Plus, Pro, and Team plans can now access Deep Research and Voice Mode within projects, and share individual chats via link. The mobile app also gets updates—users can upload files and switch models from within a project, provided they're using the latest version of the app. Project storage has been improved as well: ChatGPT can now reference earlier conversations within the same project. Chats can be moved into or out of projects using drag-and-drop. These new features do not apply to Enterprise and Edu plans, which will keep their existing functionality.
