DailyAIWire | AI News - April 12, 2025
Editor’s Note: April 12 turned out to be a turning point as artificial intelligence changes everything from banking to outer space. Today’s round-up includes self-coding AI agents, billion-dollar investment drives, and artificial intelligence’s jump into space. Let’s explore the tales forming the future.
Alphabet & Nvidia Fund Safe Superintelligence Inc. (SSI)
In another calculated move, Alphabet and Nvidia have together supported Safe Superintelligence Inc. (SSI), a firm co-founded by OpenAI’s former top scientist, Ilya Sutskever. The company’s purpose? Not an afterthought, but rather the fundamental design guiding the development of artificial intelligence systems is safety.
Direct reaction to worries that more powerful models may behave erratically, SSI’s approach is built on alignment-first development. Although technological specifics are still secret, the company has already drawn leading DeepMind, Anthropic, and OpenAI researchers.
The investment indicates a developing agreement among tech behemoths: future AGI systems’ basis must include safety.
Bank of America Commits $4B to AI Development
Bank of America will put $4 billion on AI-driven initiatives in 2025, among the highest tech commitments in the banking industry. This is over one third of the entire tech spending.
The money will be used to enhance internal process automation, risk modeling, fraud detection, and AI-driven customer assistance. With trial programs now demonstrating 40% faster responses, the bank is also looking into generative artificial intelligence for financial planning.
According to CTO Cathy Bessant, “We are reconstructing the financial experience using artificial intelligence, not only in tools.”
OpenAI Presents Autonomous Self-Testing AI Engineer
OpenAI revealed a prototype AI engineer able to test and improve its own code without human involvement, hence changing the limits of software development. Not just producing software but also autonomously debugging and enhancing it, this system is the next stage in AI autonomy.
The AI agent can rewrite code with growing accuracy, forecast runtime mistakes, and mimic user interactions. This version adds levels of reasoning and iteration on top of OpenAI’s earlier work with Codex, building on earlier efforts. The consequences are many—less human mistakes, shorter development time, and a final shift toward completely autonomous software design team.
Developers are both thrilled and cautious. Although the increases in productivity are certain, issues like job loss and artificial responsibility keep coming up.
BharatGen of India is getting closer to starting up.
Aiming at creating a multilingual, culturally-aware open-source LLM, India’s BharatGen project hit a significant turning point this week. Early benchmarks indicating competitive performance across 22 Indian languages—including Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, and Malayalam—were published by the team.
Supported by the Indian government, BharatGen wants to offset Western artificial intelligence supremacy by building models based on India’s linguistic and cultural richness. The project has teamed up with local businesses, universities, and worldwide IT companies.
Expected to emerge in beta this summer, BharatGen might serve as a model for regional AI projects all around.
NASA Powers Next-Gen Space Missions with Artificial Intelligence
NASA has revealed the use of a new AI-driven command system for deep space and satellite operations. The aim is to make space missions more intelligent, quicker, and adaptable.
From rerouting satellites during cosmic events to improving fuel economy in long-haul missions, this AI suite will automatically handle a variety of choices. The true innovation is in the system’s capacity to learn from previous trips and mimic complicated situations—allowing engineers to pre-empt disaster before it occurs.
NASA is collaborating with companies like Lockheed Martin and OpenAI to hone this technology for future Mars missions and lunar satellite launches. The next decade of space exploration might look quite different with artificial intelligence in control.
