Trump to Review TikTok Sale Plans in Wednesday Meeting

Dhruva Kulkarni

President Donald Trump will review a proposal on Wednesday for TikTok’s US divestment from ByteDance, just days before the 5th April deadline.

The deal may involve Oracle, Blackstone, and other investors, with Oracle providing security assurances while TikTok’s algorithm remains under Chinese control.

Trump will consult with Vice President JD Vance and top officials, though it’s unclear if ByteDance or China are involved.

The sale deadline, initially set for 19th January, has already been extended once, and Trump may extend it further if needed.

Critics, including some Republican lawmakers, argue the deal may not fully address data security concerns or Chinese influence.

Trump has downplayed urgency, noting strong investor interest and suggesting he might lower tariffs to gain Beijing’s approval.

ChatGPT’s Viral Ghibli-Style Images Spark AI Copyright Debate

Dhruva Kulkarni

Studio Ghibli fans were thrilled that a new ChatGPT feature would let them transform memes and personal photos into Hayao Miyazaki’s signature style. However, the trend sparked ethical concerns over AI’s impact on artists and copyright. Miyazaki, known for hand-drawn animation, has been critical of AI in animation.

Users shared AI-generated Ghibli-style images, including personal photos, famous images, and memes. OpenAI encouraged the trend, with CEO Sam Altman changing his profile picture to a similar image. The company stated it avoids mimicking living artists but permits broader studio styles.

Studio Ghibli has not commented, but Miyazaki’s past remarks resurfaced, calling AI animation an “insult to life itself.” Legal experts questioned whether OpenAI had the right to train its AI on Ghibli’s work. While “style” isn’t copyrightable, AI-generated works could still resemble copyrighted material.

Artists criticised OpenAI for exploiting Ghibli’s reputation without consent. The controversy intensified when the White House used AI to create a Ghibli-style image of a detained immigrant, fueling further backlash.
