Chat-GPT

"I don’t need any artificial intelligence."I, RobotAfter OpenAI got in trouble for copying actor Scarlett Johansson's voice for a new ChatGPT voice assistant, the head honcho at Microsoft — a major investor and close partner of OpenAI — bashed human-like AIs in a surprising interview on Monday."I don't like anthropomorphizing AI," Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told Bloomberg Television. "I sort of believe it's a tool.""It has got intelligence, if you want to give it that moniker, but it’s not the same intelligence that I have," he added, while also dinging the term "artificial intelligence.""I think one of the most unfortunate…

For satellite operators, AI’s potential benefits are impossible to ignore. As Earth observation and communications constellations expand, AI tools promise to streamline operations, reduce on-orbit collisions and speed up analysis of remote sensing data. Opportunities and challenges for space-based AI with experts from the Aerospace Corporation, Stanford University’s Center for AEroSpace Autonomy Research (CAESAR), Magnestar, and Redwire Space were discussed.

The journalism industry has been under immense economic pressure over the past two decades, so it makes sense that journalists have started experimenting with generative AI to boost their productivity. An Associated Press survey published in April 2024 asked journalists about the use of generative artificial intelligence in their work. Nearly 70% of those who responded said they had used these tools to generate text, whether it was composing article drafts, crafting headlines or writing social media posts. A May 2024 global survey conducted by the public relations firm Cision found the slice to be somewhat smaller – 47% of…

We are happy to share that our book AI Snake Oil is now available to preorder across online booksellers. The publication date is September 24, 2024. If you have enjoyed reading our newsletter and would like to support our work, please preorder the book via Amazon, Bookshop, or your favorite bookseller. We get two recurring questions about the book: In an area as fast moving as AI, how long can a book stay relevant? How similar is the book to the newsletter?The answer to both questions is the same. We know that book publishing moves at a slower timescale than AI. So the…

Join us in returning to NYC on June 5th to collaborate with executive leaders in exploring comprehensive methods for auditing AI models regarding bias, performance, and ethical compliance across diverse organizations. Find out how you can attend here. As competition in the generative AI field shifts toward multimodal models, Meta has released a preview of what can be its answer to the models released by frontier labs. Chameleon, its new family of models, has been designed to be natively multi-modal instead of putting together components with different modalities.  While Meta has not released the models yet, their reported experiments show…

Microsoft has launched a new type of personal computer designed with AI capabilities, underscoring the company’s commitment to integrating cutting-edge technology across its product lineup.  This new category not only boosts Microsoft’s ventures but also positions it to compete directly with AI-led advancements from tech giants such as Alphabet and Apple. During an event at Microsoft’s campus in Redmond, Washington, CEO Satya Nadella unveiled the Copilot+ PCs. These computers, developed in collaboration with manufacturers like Acer and Asustek Computer, align with Microsoft’s stock prices reaching near all-time highs amid Wall Street’s expectations that AI will significantly boost earnings for major tech firms. These PCs are engineered to manage a greater share of…

Earlier this month, the military and intelligence-tied data monger Palantir — alongside big tech giants Google and Microsoft — sponsored DC's inaugural "AI Expo for National Competitiveness."Which, judging by The Guardian's summary of the event, sounds like it was an Orwellian nightmare fever dream to end all other military-industrial conferences.The relationship between Silicon Valley and the US military has experienced a bit of a rekindling in recent years — a renaissance in large part pushed forward in by the collision of advancements in AI, robotics, various autonomous weapons and vehicles, and surveillance. If anything, Palantir's recent event was a celebration of this…

Kissimmee, Fla. – As U.S. intelligence agencies increase their reliance on commercial geospatial products and services, cybersecurity becomes a growing concern. “We create so many innovative solutions here in this country,” Stacey Dixon, U.S. deputy director of national intelligence, said May 6 at the 2024 GEOINT Symposium here. “Yet we lose a lot of that innovation to adversaries because we aren’t properly protecting it. Invest in your cybersecurity. Understand that people are going to try to steal your secrets.” Potential adversaries will seek access to commercial products directly as well as through intermediaries. Figure out how to prevent that, “because…
