2023: Let’s use AI to build a product.
2024: Build a product without AI, then let AI enhance your product.
Affect You and Me
Researchers have developed an AI tool capable of closely replicating a person's handwriting.
The AI requires only a few paragraphs to learn and has produced results indistinguishable from the actual handwriting.
While the technology is not yet public, it has been patented, and the team is aware of its potential misuse, such as forgery.
Apple is intensifying its efforts to integrate AI into iPhones, with acquisitions, hires, and hardware updates.
The company has bought 21 AI firms in seven years and is expected to make a significant AI deal soon.
Nearly half of Apple's AI job listings now mention "deep learning," indicating a focus on generative AI for future iPhones.
A recent MIT study suggests that AI is currently too expensive to replace humans in jobs.
Despite fears of AI-induced job losses, the high costs of AI tools, including AI music generators, make it economically unfeasible to replace human labor at this time
Scientists are developing a device, named "Halo", that can induce lucid dreams on demand.
The device uses a non-invasive technique called transcranial ultrasound to interact with neural activity in the brain.
The team behind the project believes the technology could have broad applications, including helping with PTSD, reducing anxiety, and improving mood, confidence, motor skills, and creativity.
The AI therapy companion 'Replika' is gaining popularity among students who experience loneliness.
Replika is a conversational AI chatbot created by Luka, Inc. that users interact with in various ways, such as a friend, a therapist, or an intellectual mirror.
Some users even reported that Replika helped halt their suicidal ideation.
Fubo, a sports-focused live TV streaming service, has launched a feature called "Instant Headlines".
This AI-driven tool generates real-time headlines for live news in 10 words or less, helping viewers make quick viewing decisions.
Barcelona is developing a digital twin of the city using its supercomputer, MareNostrum 5.
The project aims to collect real-time data from sensors around the city and use AI to analyze and predict traffic and energy usage.
The goal is to create a tool that can answer any question about the city, similar to an oracle.
This digital twin project is part of a growing trend in urban planning, with cities like Cambridge and Helsinki also exploring similar initiatives.
TikTok is testing a feature called "AI Song" that uses the language model Bloom to generate songs from text prompts.
Users can input lyrics and the AI will recommend sounds to accompany the post, with the option to choose the song's genre.
The feature is currently in testing and not available to all users.
The Pentagon is currently testing AI-powered swarm drones and ships, with recent breakthroughs in experimental aerial and naval craft paving the way for low-cost attack drones and new tactics that feature AI in key roles.
The Navy and Air Force have conducted experiments that demonstrate how the U.S. military might employ autonomous weapons differently than China or Russia.
The Navy is also testing the XQ-58, a high-performance drone that is uncrewed and has AI-enabled functionality.
AI Insider
OpenAI has begun investing in robotics companies, marking a significant step in advancing AI and robotics.
One of the beneficiaries is 1X Robotics, which secured $100 million in funding, with OpenAI contributing $23.5 million.
The investment will boost 1X Robotics' development of androids that can safely work alongside humans in various sectors.
OpenAI's move into robotics investment is seen as a potential game-changer.
Google Cloud has partnered with AI startup Hugging Face to facilitate AI software development.
The partnership will allow developers using Google Cloud's infrastructure to access and deploy Hugging Face's repository of open-source AI software, such as models and datasets.
01.AI, a Chinese startup, is emerging as a leader in the open-source AI race, aiming to create "killer apps" based on language models.
Founded by Kai-Fu Lee, the company's open-source language model has gained recognition for outperforming others, including Meta's Llama 2.
While none of 01.AI's apps have launched yet, the startup's technology is poised to play a central role in the next tech industry phase.
Google Research has unveiled VideoPoet, a large language model capable of generating videos from various inputs including text, audio, and images.
Trained on 2 trillion tokens of multimodal data, VideoPoet uses a Transformer architecture and can perform tasks like text-to-video, image-to-video, video inpainting, and video style transfer.
The model's output was preferred by human judges over other models in evaluations, demonstrating its competitive video generation quality.
SAP has announced a €2 billion restructuring plan that will impact 8,000 jobs as the company shifts its focus towards AI-driven business sectors.
The program will be carried out mainly through voluntary leave and re-skilling, with the goal of maintaining current headcount levels by the end of 2024.
Sierra, an AI startup co-founded by ex-Salesforce co-CEO and OpenAI Chairman Bret Taylor, is reportedly raising $85 million in a funding round led by Sequoia Capital.
This investment is expected to value the enterprise-focused AI startup near $1 billion.
Sierra, which recently emerged from stealth mode, aims to apply AI to tackle critical business challenges.
AI Magics
Send AI is a customizable document processing platform that uses AI for data extraction.
Upon receipt, Send AI makes several visual enhancements to the documents before sending them to its language models for classification and extraction of key information.
The AI models are fine-tuned for each individual user, ensuring a high degree of accuracy and compliance.
The system can automate up to 95% of document processing workflows, reducing manual work to a minimum.
