Microsoft said Thursday that starting Nov. 1, large companies will be able to buy Microsoft 365 Copilot, its artificial intelligence supplement to core productivity apps such as Word and Excel. Microsoft 365 Copilot is one result of the company's close collaboration with San Francisco startup OpenAI, which became a household name after ChatGPT, OpenAI's chatbot, went viral last year. In March, Microsoft first revealed plans for Microsoft 365 Copilot. Microsoft 365 Copilot tools are now in preview with small businesses, Colette Stallbaumer, a general manager, said at Thursday's event. Turning Microsoft 365 Copilot into a big business might take time.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai isn't in a rush to catch up to OpenAI, he told Wired. Releasing Google's AI products before ChatGPT was launched "wouldn't have worked out as well," he said. Pichai's thoughts on AI come months after the CEO declared a "code red" for Google's search engine. "In some ways, it was an exciting moment for me, because we are building that underlying technology and deploying it across our products," Pichai told Wired in an interview published on Monday. Since the disastrous demo, Google has announced a slate of new AI products.

Generative AI could soon be trained on AI-generated content — and experts are raising the alarm. The new term comes as AI-generated content filled with errors continues to flood the internet. Other AI researchers have coined their own terms to describe the training method. Jathan Sadowski, a senior fellow at the Emerging Technologies Research Lab in Australia who researches AI, called this phenomenon "Habsburg AI," arguing that AI systems heavily trained on outputs of other generative AI tools can create "inbred mutant" responses that contain "exaggerated, grotesque features." These new terms come as AI-generated content has flooded the internet since OpenAI launched ChatGPT last November.

One of the latest is flooding social media with spam bots and AI-generated content that could further degrade the quality of information on the internet. Botnets are networks of hundreds of harmful bots and spam campaigns on social media that can go undetected by current anti-spam filters. We can still detect AI-generated spam — for nowBoth NewsGuard and the paper's researchers were separately able to unearth AI-generated spam content using an obvious tell that chatbots currently have. AdvertisementAdvertisementResearchers look for when these responses slip out in an automated bot's content, whether on a webpage or in a tweet.

ChatGPT isn't the hottest commodity in AI right now — it's a chip named Hopper. Nvidia's Hopper, also known as H100, is the workhorse that drives the AI models behind ChatGPT. A mad dash for H100 processors is leading to a shortage. Without them, the advancement of AI models risks grinding to a halt. It also explains why there's been a mad dash to get a hold of H100 processors as the threat of shortage jolts buyers into action.

Where to play it Where HSBC analysts are looking is in Chinese AI hardware stocks. Its customers also include Nvidia and U.S. and Chinese cloud companies. Based on in-person company visits — which revealed about a third had "lousy management" and not investable — he's decided to focus on Chinese AI and green energy companies. His watchlist of about 90 Chinese AI companies has more than doubled in value this year, Ogan said, noting his firm only owns a handful. However, publicly disclosed figures show the AI company only made net revenue of $48.2 million in 2022, with a net loss of $6 million.

Humanity could be on the brink of making major progress in multiple areas of science. These are artificial intelligence, room-temperature superconductors, and nuclear fusion. A lesson from ChatGPT: people get excited by progress when they understand what it means. It's not a surprising attitude from the man who also said "we wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters." Efforts remain underway to replicate a room-temperature superconductor's creation.

These are artificial intelligence, room-temperature semiconductors, and nuclear fusion. A lesson from ChatGPT: people get excited by progress when they understand what it means. In South Korea last month, researchers declared the discovery of the world's first room-temperature, ambient pressure superconductor – a rock-like material known as LK-99. But if Andreessen and his ilk want the general public to get excited by nuclear energy and superconductors, they have the answer in their own backyard in ChatGPT. Humans need to see and understand the benefits of progress for themselves.

Tech firms once had the luxury of pursuing expensive AI research. It's a sign that companies hope AI will play a greater role in boosting revenue. The Financial Times reported that the company axed a team involved in protein folding research as part of its massive restructuring program, which Mark Zuckerberg has called the "Year of Efficiency." The company's vice-president of AI, Joelle Pineau, also said Meta "remains committed" to its Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) Team, which conducts "exploratory research based on open science." The race to make money from AI then is heating up.

So, that's the end of OpenAI's ChatGPT moat
  + stars: | 2023-07-20 | by ( Hasan Chowdhury | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
In the fast-changing world of AI, OpenAI appeared to have created a powerful moat through ChatGPT. But Meta rolling out its own powerful language model, Llama 2, with few restrictions puts ChatGPT at risk. And unlike OpenAI's ChatGPT, Llama 2 doesn't come with an easy-to-use consumer interface. As the first popular entrant into the generative AI space, OpenAI's chatbot had the advantage of capturing the imaginations of millions before Google, Meta and the rest. But open models were always the threat.

Portugal is trialing a ChatGPT-based AI that can respond to emergency calls in busy periods. Callers to Portugal's 112 emergency line sometimes wait five to six minutes to get a response. If the trial periods goes well, the AI will come into wider use by 2025, a senior politician said. Portugal is planning to test a new artificial intelligence system based on OpenAI's chatbot ChatGPT to see whether it could be used to take emergency calls in the country during busy times. Instead, the AI system will respond to the calls first in "natural language response" to "assess what kind of problem" the caller is reporting, Portugal News' report added.

Two billboards from Burger King and Mcdonald's have been placed next to each other in Brazil. According to translated versions of the billboards reported by The Drum, the chatbot calls McDonald's Big Mac the most "iconic burger" and names Burger King's Whopper "the biggest." The fast-food company asked OpenAI's chatbot what the most iconic burger in the world was and it named the Big Mac the "most globally recognized." The Burger King ad seems to follow McDonald's directly, asking: "And which is the biggest?" Burger King did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment, made outside normal working hours.

I asked ChatGPT, OpenAI's chatbot, to punch up my résumé and the results were less than spectacular. While ChatGPT can offer some inspiration for your résumé, you still need to put in the work. But even with all that guidance, résumé writing remains a tedious task. I assumed it could offer helpful assistance for résumé writing, too. Further down, ChatGPT recommended I use words including "influential" and "prestigious" to describe my former employers.
