OpenAI and Microsoft are defendants in a $3 billion class-action lawsuit, accused of unlawfully scraping 300 billion words from the internet to train ChatGPT. The suit, filed by sixteen anonymous plaintiffs, alleges the companies did not obtain consent or register as data brokers. Continue Reading →

A recent study reveals that tweets generated by large language models, such as OpenAI's GPT, are perceived as more convincing than human-written tweets. This finding underscores the potential of AI as a powerful tool for information dissemination, but also highlights a risk: the spread of disinformation. Continue Reading →

AI and emerging technologies evolve daily. Rather than write a book on the topic (which would be outdated immediately), I created a free online course called Generative AI for Execs so that I could keep the information as up-to-date as possible.

But here’s the catch: If we’re to ride the wave of this technological revolution, we need to rethink not just the tools we use, but also how we use them. Continue Reading →

If you like 1950's Godzilla movies, you're going to love YouTube's new AI-powered dubbing service, Aloud, which transcribes, translates, and dubs videos. Aloud currently supports English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and YouTube has plans to expand its language offering. Continue Reading →

Dropbox is integrating AI into its platform with two new services. The first is a document summarization and querying tool. The second, Dash, is a universal search engine that scans files in Dropbox and across the web. Continue Reading →

Stanford University researchers have found that no current large language models (LLMs), including OpenAI's GPT-4 and Google's Bard, comply with the European Union's AI Act. This legislation, the first of its kind, governs AI within the EU, but it is serving as a blueprint for AI regulators around the world. Continue Reading →

Snap’s CEO Evan Spiegel said that more than 150 million users have generated more than 10 billion messages using MyAI, Snapchat's AI-powered chatbot, including advice on car purchases, restaurant choices, and even negotiating wage increases. Continue Reading →
