Deep Dive 🔍

• Digital signatures in cameras: A fight against deep fakes 📸
  
  Nikon, Sony, and Canon introduce digital signatures in cameras to distinguish real photos from AI fakes. These signatures will include key data like data, time, location, and photographer identity, marking them tamper-resistant. Targeted for a 2024 debut, these cameras will incorporate a universal standard for digital signatures, making them compatible with Verify, a web-based application for authenticating image credentials. Canon and Sony expand features to videos, reinforcing media trust.

• OpenAI adapts to EU regulations with Irish data shift 🌍
  
  In a move to adhere to GDPR, OpenAI shifts ChatGPT data processing to Ireland from 15th February 2024. The relocation positions Ireland as a key player in GDPR enforcement, potentially simplifying compliance processes. This shift comes amid increasing EU scrutiny and GDPR probes in multiple EU countries. However, the UK's separation from the EU means this change doesn't apply to British users, reflecting the ongoing impact of Brexit on data laws.
  

• Beyond Adobe: Figma reinvents meetings with AI collaboration tools 🔄
  
  Figma, moving past the Adobe acquisition collapse, focuses on AI to revolutionize meetings. Introduces AI features like Jambot and FigJam AI for more dynamic collaborations. AI tools, added to FigJam, offer icebreakers, note summaries, and more. Positive user feedback on these playful, creative AI enhancements. Figma's user base now includes two-thirds non-designers, broadening its market appeal.

• DreamTuner: ByteDance's leap in AI-driven image creation 🎨
  
  ByteDance researchers introduce DreamTuner for subject-driven image generation. Technique uses a unique three-step process for enhanced accuracy. Superior to previous methods in maintaining subject identity. Tackles the AI challenge of replicating consistent characters from a single image. Marks a notable advancement in AI image generation.

• Nvidia's strategic launch: Slower gaming chips for the Chinese market 🎮

  
  Nvidia launches a modified RTX 4090D gaming chip in China with 11% fewer cores. The adjustment complies with U.S. export controls targeting AI-capable chips. Nvidia extensively consulted with the U.S. government for compliance. Despite restrictions, Nvidia's shares soar due to AI demand. The RTX 4090D is part of the restricted chips list but leverages AI for performance.

• South Korea's high-tech traffic solution: Drones and AI 🚧
  
  South Korea to deploy drones with AI for immediate traffic analysis starting this year. AI to process drone-captured data for traffic forecasts. The system was tested at Seoul's major festivals in 2023. Drones are also tasked with construction site inspections. Enhancing city traffic and safety oversight.

• FreeControl allows training-free spatial control of Stable Diffusion generations 🖼️
  
  Researchers develop FreeControl, a method enabling controllable text-to-image generation without prior training. Offers fine-tuned spatial control and adapts to various constraints and architectures. Utilizes key features from sample images for composing content and style. Produces high-quality images, surpassing previous methods. An advancement over ControlNet and GLIGEN, accepting diverse inputs without intensive training.

• 35,000+ Tokens dataset captures NYT style for language models 📝 
  
  A newly released dataset, containing over 35,000 tokens that mimic the New York Times writing style, has been formatted in JSON for efficient use in natural language processing. Developed using the Notux 8x7B v1, this dataset is accessible under an MIT open-source license, making it a vital tool for content analysis and educational activities in linguistics and AI development.

• Microsoft’s Copilot app is now available on iOS 📱
  
  Microsoft's Copilot app, offering AI-powered features like text drafting and image generation, now extends to iOS and iPadOS, building on its Android presence.
  

• GitHub makes Copilot Chat generally available, letting devs ask questions about code 🧑‍💻
  
  GitHub's Copilot Chat, an AI chatbot for coding, is now generally available. Using GPT-4, it provides guidance in coding scenarios, included in Microsoft’s IDEs. GitHub faces financial strains and rising competition from services like CodeWhisperer.
  
  

• OpenAI’s annualized revenue tops $1.6 billion 💰️ 
  
  OpenAI has reported an impressive annualized revenue exceeding $1.6 billion, despite recent turbulence involving its CEO. Company managers are optimistic, projecting potential revenues to soar as high as $5 billion by 2024. Despite these strong figures, OpenAI's valuation multiple is anticipated to be marginally lower than that of its competitor, Anthropic, based on its last reported valuation of $100 billion.
