According to Forbes, the state of Florida has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman, alleging that its generative AI and large language models (LLMs) pose a threat to public health and safety, constituting a "public nuisance" in the legal sense. The state likened AI chatbots to polluting factories, arguing that they cause psychological harm to the public, provide uncertified advice, and disrupt public order. Florida is seeking substantial monetary damages and injunctive relief.

According to the research summary published by Rohan Paul, a large-scale study covering 207 GitHub projects and 1.02 million pull requests shows that introducing AI agent review can reduce code review time by 2.5 to 4.5 days/KLOC, but at the cost of declining review quality—in reviews involving AI, 78%~94% of PRs exhibit "review smells", higher than the 69%~76% in pure human reviews. The study points out that repeatedly assigning the same AI reviewer identity is the main reason leading to the decline in review diversity. Notably, projects that introduced LLM review extensively in the early stage did not achieve significant efficiency improvements.

Vitalik Buterin published a research article on May 10, proposing to replace traditional on-chain transfer solutions with zero-knowledge proof (ZK) transactions, pushing crypto payments from "pseudonymity" toward "privacy by default." This solution allows users to complete payment verification without disclosing their full balance and transaction history.Vitalik specifically mentioned that in the era of AI agents, autonomous AI agents need to pay for services such as LLM APIs without leaving traceable footprints. He stated that through recursive SNARKs and a ZK API credit mechanism, Ethereum Layer 2 can achieve private payments at speeds and costs close to those of transparent transactions.Additionally, the proposal includes selective disclosure and "proof of innocence" mechanisms, allowing users to provide compliance proof to regulators or tax authorities without revealing on-chain privacy data, thereby meeting anti-money laundering requirements. Vitalik believes that the transparent and public nature of blockchain is a major obstacle to the widespread adoption of crypto payments.
