Its backers have committed to driving the "significant infrastructure investment" needed to make AI more powerful. Critically, the firms behind the fund said these infrastructure investments "will be chiefly in the United States," where it plans to fuel AI innovation and economic growth. It will also fund the energy infrastructure needed to power them. AdvertisementData centers, chip manufacturing plants, and energy supply are all vital for making AI tick. AdvertisementThe headline result was the launch of a new task force on AI data center infrastructure, designed to underscore the vital importance of building out the infrastructure needed to maintain momentum in the generative AI race.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella speaks during the company's Build developer conference in Seattle on May 21, 2024. Microsoft and BlackRock are part of a group of companies collaborating to pull together up to $100 billion to develop data centers for artificial intelligence and the energy infrastructure to power them. The group aims to assemble $30 billion of initial capital, with a future goal of bringing in up to $100 billion, including from debt financing. Microsoft said in July that fiscal fourth-quarter capital spending, including assets acquired under finance leases, totaled $19 billion. In January, BlackRock announced its intent to acquire GIP for $3 billion in cash and around 12 million shares of BlackRock common stock.

When the group was announced, Altman, Taylor, and five OpenAI technical and policy experts were named to the committee, alongside the independent board members. AdvertisementThe safety committee will "exercise oversight over model launches, including having the authority to delay a release until safety concerns are addressed," the blog post said. OpenAI's troublesLast month, the company battled to stop an AI safety bill in California, saying it would stifle progress and drive companies out of the state. Weeks before that, nine current and former OpenAI employees signed an open letter pointing out the risks of generative AI.

Artificial intelligence is expected to transform the way companies do business, including those in financial planning and investment management. That means financial advisors need to get onboard or risk being left behind. Of course, financial advisors have been using some technology, like financial planning software, for years. Still, AI will help financial advisors do their jobs better — not necessarily put them out of work. What to do Nexus Strategy's Welsh believes financial advisors should begin getting comfortable with current AI capabilities.

OpenAI on Monday said its Safety and Security Committee, which the company introduced in May as it dealt with controversy over security processes, will become an independent board oversight committee. Other members include Adam D'Angelo, an OpenAI board member and co-founder of Quora, former NSA chief and board member Paul Nakasone, and Nicole Seligman, former executive vice president at Sony. The committee will oversee "the safety and security processes guiding OpenAI's model deployment and development," the company said. The company said the committee "reviewed the safety and security criteria that OpenAI used to assess OpenAI o1's fitness for launch," as well as safety evaluation results. Leike wrote in a post on X that OpenAI's "safety culture and processes have taken a backseat to shiny products."

As one VC partner told Business Insider at the time: "Sam is bigger than Taylor Swift." But the bigger you are, the faster the fall, and a few months later, things began to unravel. Others simply said Altman was overhyped, that he didn't have all the answers that the public and investors seemed to expect of him. Thanks to good old-fashioned capitalism, Altman and OpenAI have enjoyed business win after win and held their positions as the leaders in the aggressive AI race. "I thought Sam Altman did a really good job in the special," she told The Washington Post in a discussion about her TV program on artificial intelligence.

Saudi Arabia is optimistic about gaining access to U.S. chipmaker Nvidia's high-performance chips, which would enable it to develop and operate the most advanced artificial intelligence models. It's a significant expectation given that the United States' strict export controls have thus far prevented the chips' export to the kingdom. Habib made the comments on the sidelines of GAIN, Saudi Arabia's international AI summit, which took place in Riyadh this week. It "will mean a lot" for Saudi Arabia to have access to the chips, Habib said — in this case, the Nvidia H200s, the firm's most powerful chips, which are used in OpenAI's GPT-4o. We worked hard in the past three years in building capacity, in human capacity, we also build data capacity as well.

The new model can work through complex tasks and, in comparison to previous models, solve more difficult problems in science, coding, and math. AdvertisementFor example, it beat GPT-4o — a multimodal model OpenAI unveiled in May — in the qualifying exam for the International Mathematics Olympiad by a long shot. Over the summer, while o1 was still in development, the company unveiled a new five-level classification system for tracking its progress toward that goal. But when Mollick asked o1 to solve a crossword puzzle, it thought about it for a "full 108 seconds" before responding.
