Sunak's speech came as the British government gears up to host the AI Safety Summit next week. Sunak announced that the U.K. will set up the world's first AI safety institute to evaluate and test new types of AI in order understand the risks. At the AI Safety Summit next week, Sunak said he will propose to set up a "truly global expert panel nominated by the countries and organizations attending to publish a state of AI science report." The U.K. has some notable AI firms, such as Alphabet-owned DeepMind, as well as strong tech-geared universities. But there can be no serious strategy for AI without at least trying to engage all of the world's leading AI powers," Sunak said.

In an invitation-only Discord chat, Googlers have been discussing the bot. First announced in February, Google's Bard chatbot is one of the company's flagship generative AI products. The launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT months earlier reportedly put the company on high alert and led to resources being poured into generative AI projects. Google's Bard, for example, falsely said there was a ceasefire between Gaza and Israel despite the recent violent escalation between the two nations. This is also not the first time Googlers have raised doubts about Google's generative AI push.

Privately held companies have been left to develop AI technology at breakneck speed, giving rise to systems like Microsoft-backed OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard. Last year, 58% of people responded to IE University's study saying they think that AI should be regulated. Standing out from the rest of Europe, Estonia is the only country where this view decreased — by 23% — from last year. Generally, though, the majority of people in Europe are favorable of governments regulating AI to stem the risk of job losses. It comes as governments around the world are working on regulation for AI algorithms.

For tasks "inside the frontier," consultants using AI were "significantly more productive" and "produced significantly higher quality results" than those who weren't using the chatbot. BCG's findings demonstrate a cautionary tale for workers thinking about using ChatGPT to help do their jobs. AI-generated errors may only get worse: In a recent paper, AI researchers found that generative AI models could soon be trained on AI-generated content — a phenomenon they call "model collapse."

The Facebook parent is aiming for its new AI model to be ready next year, the Journal said, adding it will be several times more powerful than its commercial version dubbed Llama 2. Llama 2 is Meta's open source AI language model launched in July, and distributed by Microsoft's (MSFT.O) cloud Azure services to compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's (GOOGL.O) Bard. Meta expects to start training the new AI system, known as a large language model, in early 2024, the report added. Businesses and enterprises have flocked to the nascent generative AI market for newer capabilities and refining business processes since the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT late last year.

Election ads running on Google and YouTube that are created with artificial intelligence will soon have to carry a clear disclosure, according to new rules created by the company. The policy will take effect in mid-November and will require election advertisers to disclose that ads containing AI-generated elements have been computer-generated or do not show real events. Election ads that have been digitally created or altered must include a disclosure such as, "This audio was computer-generated," or "This image does not depict real events." Google and other digital ad platforms such as Meta's Facebook and Instagram already have some policies around election ads and digitally altered posts. In 2018, for example, Google began requiring an identity verification process to run election ads on its platforms.

Nvidia's new chip, the GH200, has the same GPU as the company's current highest-end AI chip, the H100. Oftentimes, the process of working with AI models is split into at least two parts: training and inference. Companies including Google and Amazon are also designing their own custom AI chips for inference.

Meta has been designing prototypes for chatbots that can have humanlike discussions with its users, as the company attempts to boost its engagement with its social media platforms, according to the report, citing people with knowledge of the plans. The Menlo Park, California-based social media giant is even exploring a chatbot that speaks like Abraham Lincoln and another that advises on travel options in the style of a surfer, the report added. The purpose of these chatbots will be to provide a new search function as well as offer recommendations.
