AI Advancements and New Technologies

> Google is set to virtually preview Gemini, its ChatGPT competitor, possibly within this week. Gemini, a generative AI chatbot, promises enhanced capabilities over Google’s current Bard. This comes as Google delayed Gemini’s full launch to 2024 amidst struggles with non-English language queries. The preview could relieve pressure on Google, which has lagged in generative AI against rivals like Microsoft and OpenAI. Gemini, developed by DeepMind, is a multi-modal AI capable of handling text, voice, and image queries and employs reinforcement learning for problem-solving.

> Alibaba's Institute for Intelligent Computing unveils 'Animate Anyone,' a groundbreaking deepfake technology transforming static images into realistic full-motion videos. This advancement significantly refines animation quality, addressing challenges like hallucinations and implausibility in previous models. However, it raises ethical concerns as it's trained on scraped videos of famous TikTokers like Charli D’Amelio and Addison Rae, without their consent. Initially developed for academic purposes at the University of Minnesota, this commercial application spotlights pressing legal and moral dilemmas in AI and content creation, fueling ongoing debates in the digital real. | Watch a demo

> Microsoft’s Seeing AI app, designed to assist blind and low vision individuals, is now available on Android. Previously exclusive to iOS, the app’s Android version supports 18 languages, with plans to expand to 36. Seeing AI offers enhanced features like detailed alt-text descriptions for images and a chatbot for document information. Launched in 2017, Seeing AI helps users identify objects, currency, and documents, similar to Be My Eyes but using AI instead of human assistance.

> Microsoft's Medprompt improves GPT-4's performance in medical applications by employing a unique prompting method, integrating dynamic few-shot selection, self-generated chain-of-thought reasoning, and choice shuffle ensembling. This approach has led to over 90% accuracy on the MedQA dataset and outstanding performance in the MultiMedQA suite. The technique, adaptable to different areas, demonstrates an average 7.3% enhancement across various fields, indicating its potential for wider applications beyond just medical scenarios.

> Mozilla’s innovation team has launched 'llamafile', an open-source tool that simplifies Large Language Model (LLM) distribution by converting them into a single binary file. This file, compatible with six major operating systems, ensures consistent LLM performance across platforms. However, Windows users face a 4 GB size limit on executables.

> IBM’s Quantum Summit revealed 'IBM Quantum Heron,' a quantum processor with five-fold error reduction and the modular 'IBM Quantum System Two,' advancing towards quantum-centric supercomputing. IBM's roadmap extends to 2033, focusing on improving gate operations and scaling error-corrected systems. The launch of Qiskit 1.0 software and the integration of generative AI models in watsonx emphasize IBM's push for automating quantum code development and enhancing circuit optimization.

AI in Business and Corporate Strategy

> Meta Platforms Inc. and IBM, along with over 50 other entities, have established the AI Alliance, an industry group dedicated to open-source AI development, challenging the norm of proprietary AI systems. Key participants include Oracle, AMD, Intel, and Stability AI, as well as academic entities. Such as Cornell University and The National Science Foundation. The initiative seeks to make AI development more accessible and innovative, guided by a future governing board and a technical oversight committee.

> AMD is set to launch its Instinct MI300 GPU, aimed at AI systems, which could intensify competition with Nvidia. The event may include a comparison with Nvidia’s H100 and Microsoft’s involvement, highlighting AMD’s AI hardware and software momentum. This launch is crucial for AMD’s AI market presence, especially as Nvidia faces a delay in its H200 GPU release and U.S. restrictions on chip exports to China. Analysts from Wedbush and Jefferies anticipate significant market growth for AMD, positioning it alongside Nvidia as a key player in the AI chip industry.

> Agility Robotics' RoboFab in Salem, Oregon, set to be the first factory mass-producing humanoid robots, will produce 10,000 units yearly, including the bipedal robot Digit, designed for warehouse tasks. This marks a significant advancement in robotics, offering versatile solutions for industries like Amazon. With China's similar ambitions by 2025, this development signals a major shift in industrial robotics, focusing on humanoid forms for enhanced mobility and functionality.

> ByteDance, the Chinese owner of TikTok, plans to launch a platform for creating AI-powered chatbots, competing with OpenAI's ChatGPT. This move, part of ByteDance's AI product expansion, raises potential U.S. security concerns due to the company's Chinese ties. The platform, aimed to integrate with existing products, could amplify ByteDance's influence in the AI space, but faces regulatory challenges in China and skepticism in the U.S. due to privacy and data security issues.

> Amazon’s AI chatbot Q reportedly leaked sensitive information, including AWS data center locations and details of unreleased features, as revealed by employees in leaked documents obtained by Platformer. Marked as a “sev 2” incident, this requires urgent attention from engineers. Amazon downplayed these concerns, asserting no security breach occurred and denying Q leaked confidential data. Q, designed to outperform rivals like Microsoft and Google in security and privacy for enterprise use, is now in a public preview, offering AWS assistance and coding features.

> Tip your GPT? A recent experiment by programmer Thebes revealed that ChatGPT provides enhanced and more detailed responses when incentivized with a pretend tip. The experiment demonstrated that the AI chatbot’s performance improved with the promise of a financial reward, producing lengthier and more comprehensive answers. However, when offered the tip, ChatGPT declined, stating its primary objective is user satisfaction, not monetary gain. The behavior reflects the training and programming of AI chatbots like ChatGPY and highlights the influence of incentive structures on their response quality.

> Runway collaborates with Getty Images to create an AI video model for enterprise customers, blending Runway’s technology with Getty’s licensed content library. This partnership targets the need for quality, customized video content in various sectors. The upcoming Runway <> Getty Images Model (RGM) will enable businesses to craft unique, brand-aligned videos using their own datasets | Runway ML

> Musk’s X AI, is raising $1 billion in fresh capital, having already secured nearly $135 million from four investors. Announced in July, the company focuses on understanding the universe’s true nature. Its chatbot, Grok, aims to rival OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard technology. Musk recently acquired high-powered GPUs for X AI and announced that investors in X would own 25% of the company. X AI team includes experts from DeepMind, OpenAI, and other leading tech firms.

> Microsoft's Copilot, now on Windows 10 and 11, is introducing six new features, leveraging OpenAI's GPT-4 Turbo. GPT-4 Turbo, with an updated knowledge base to April 2023, enhances task handling capabilities. Other features include a new DALL-E 3 model for improved image creation, an "Inline Compose with rewrite menu" in Edge for text rewriting, and a Multi-Modal with Search Grounding feature integrating GPT-4 with vision for enhanced image query understanding. Additionally, Deep Search in Bing optimizes complex search results, and Code Interpreter aids in tasks like coding and data analysis.
