The state of California opened its largest office complex on Wednesday, a $1.03 billion, 1.25 million-square-foot group of buildings on Richards Boulevard in Sacramento.
The May S. Lee State Office Complex will serve as a workplace for more than 5,000 state workers, including employees of the Department of Tax and Fee Administration, the Department of Health Care Access and Information, the Department of Housing and Community Development, the state’s Civil Rights Department, the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, the Department of Real Estate and the state Commission on Teacher Credentialing.

The company touted a new iPad Air as "an incredibly powerful device for AI;" its AI-powered features like visual lookup, subject lift and live text capture, among others; and, of course, its upgraded M4 chip, which features a neural engine that's "dedicated to the acceleration of AI workloads." Tuesday's theme focused on the new hardware devices themselves — devices like new iPads and an updated Apple Pencil — not on the AI advances Apple is making under the hood.

OpenAI says that it's developing a tool to let creators better control how their content's used in training generative AI.

The goal is to have the tool in place by 2025, OpenAI says, as the company works with "creators, content owners and regulators" toward a common standard.
