Former Fox News provocateur Tucker Carlson, on his Tuesday podcast, spoke with Balaji’s mother, Poornima Ramarao, about her son’s November death, saying he expected to be a potential witness in a lawsuit against his employer, OpenAI. The podcast bore a caption saying Balaji was “likely murdered.”

Two of the most powerful forces in the AI industry are set to collide this year: Elon Musk and OpenAI's Sam Altman. Here's what you need to know.
