This week, the EU’s largest consumer group, the European Consumer Organisation (BEUC), weighed in with its own position: Stop dragging your feet, and "launch urgent investigations into the risks of generative AI" now.
Otter gets into the chatbot game: Automatic transcription service Otter announced a new AI-powered chatbot this week that'll let participants ask questions during and after a meeting and help them collaborate with teammates.ĮU calls for AI regulation: European regulators are at a crossroads over how AI will be regulated - and ultimately used commercially and noncommercially - in the region. The robot watches for a few key pieces of information, including contact points and trajectory, and then attempts to execute the task. Robots learn from YouTube: Speaking of robots, CMU Robotics Institute assistant professor Deepak Pathak this week showcased VRB (Vision-Robotics Bridge), an AI system designed to train robotic systems by watching a recording of a human. But DeepMind claims that the model is the first to be able to solve and adapt to multiple tasks and do so using different, real-world robots. Here are the other AI stories of note from the past few days:ĭeepMind's AI controls robots: DeepMind says that it has developed an AI model, called RoboCat, that can perform a range of tasks across different models of robotic arms. And Accenture and PwC have announced that they plan to invest $3 billion and $1 billion, respectively, in AI.Īnnouncing the Security Stage agenda at TechCrunch Disrupt Workday recently added $250 million to its existing VC fund specifically to back AI and machine learning startups. There's a lot of money being thrown around in the AI space, to be sure. Salesforce Ventures, Salesforce’s VC division, plans to pour $500 million into startups developing generative AI technologies. This week, Dropbox launched its first corporate venture fund, Dropbox Ventures, which the company said would focus on startups building AI-powered products that "shape the future of work." Not to be outdone, AWS debuted a $100 million program to fund generative AI initiatives spearheaded by its partners and customers.
If it wasn't obvious already, the competitive landscape in AI - particularly the subfield known as generative AI - is red-hot. So until an AI can do it for you, here’s a handy roundup of the last week’s stories in the world of machine learning, along with notable research and experiments we didn’t cover on their own. Keeping up with an industry as fast-moving as AI is a tall order.
