Mattel Partners with OpenAI to Produce AI-Powered Toys and Games
IBL News | New York
Mattel, the U.S. maker of Barbie, Hot Wheels, and Uno cars, is partnering with OpenAI to develop toys and games that incorporate AI into the play experience.
The first product is expected to be released later this year.
The move comes at a time when toy manufacturers are grappling with President Trump’s shifting trade policy toward China.
Mattel will also incorporate OpenAI’s advanced AI tools, such as ChatGPT Enterprise, into its business operations to enhance product innovation, the company said.
In the last year, Mattel has relied on producing films, TV shows, and mobile games based on its products to reduce the impact of a slowdown in its core toy business.
“With OpenAI, Mattel has access to an advanced set of AI capabilities alongside new tools to enable productivity, creativity, and company-wide transformation at scale,” said OpenAI operating chief Brad Lightcap.

Yahoo News, WSJ, and Bloomberg Introduced AI Summaries as Part of their Stories
IBL News | New York
Three top news organizations — Yahoo News, The Wall Street Journal, and Bloomberg — are reliably generating reader-friendly summaries with Generative AI.
These optimized texts at the top of the stories work well for both busy readers and Googlebot, providing a quick understanding of the content’s subject matter.
The news organization and aggregator Yahoo News developed a “Key Takeaways” feature for some articles on its site.
The summaries are designed to extract information directly from the article itself, rather than incorporating data from across the internet.
With these AI-powered features, user engagement increased by 50%, and time spent per user rose by 165% since the relaunch.
(Kat Downs Mulder, general manager of Yahoo News, said the acquisition of the app Artifact “really accelerated” the newsroom’s AI development process.)
AI-generated summaries at The Wall Street Journal are presented as three bullet points, referred to as “Key Points.”
Every summary prominently displays a “What’s this?” button that quickly explains the feature to readers.
“An artificial-intelligence tool created this summary, which was based on the text of the article and checked by an editor,” the Journal tells readers who click on the “What’s this?” button. “Read more about how we use artificial intelligence in our journalism.”
The Journal first began working on the feature in early 2024.
Initially, the work was scoped for the Newswires product, targeted towards B2B clients who wanted key information without reading the full article text.
Google Gemini powers the key points.
The Journal plans to experiment with more AI-generated features.
Its chatbots (Lars, the Taxbot, and Joannabot) help readers explore topics where we have deep expertise and authority.
The AI summaries on Bloomberg.com are called Takeaways. AI summaries also appear on Bloomberg stories on the Bloomberg Terminal.
Bloomberg features them on longform pieces and plans to include them in its opinion pieces in the future.
These summaries, which are clear and concise snapshots, are especially welcome in fast-moving news.
