Aptos Labs is set to work with Microsoft to infuse its blockchain products, including fresh developments, with artificial intelligence. Aptos Assistant, a chatbot, is one such innovation that educates users about the Aptos ecosystem and assists developers in crafting smart contracts and decentralized apps. A 15% rise in the APT token's value followed the announcement of the collaboration.

Tech leaders Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, and AI startup Anthropic are forming a new industry watchdog group, the Frontier Model Forum, to supervise the "safe and responsible" development of frontier AI models. The alliance aims to push research on AI safety, pinpoint responsible development practices, collaborate with governments and civil leaders, and back the development of applications. This move follows a commitment made by these AI companies to the White House for the safe and transparent development of AI.
