Deep Dive 🔍

  • Microsoft and OpenAI under CMA's lens: Exploring market competition concerns 🤝🔍

    The UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is investigating the growing relationship between Microsoft and OpenAI, particularly Microsoft’s significant investment and newfound board membership. This inquiry follows OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman's brief dismissal and reinstatement. The CMA is exploring whether this partnership affects market competition, inviting public comments on potential regulatory actions. With Microsoft holding just under 50% of OpenAI and collaborating on AI services, including Azure cloud platform developments, the CMA’s investigation could influence future AI regulation and governance.

  • Google’s best Gemini demo was faked 🤖

    Google's Gemini AI model received mixed reactions following a viral demo video that later turned out to use carefully selected prompts and images, misrepresenting live interaction capabilities. While the video boasted reduced latency and impressive functions like hand gesture recognition, the reality of Gemini's operations was obscured. This lack of transparency in presenting Gemini's capabilities has sparked debates on trust and raised questions about Google's integrity, potentially impacting the model's credibility and market acceptance.

  • Anthropic’s latest tactic to stop racist AI: Asking it ‘really really really really’ nicely 😃 

    In a crucial study by Anthropic, researchers explored bias in AI models used for financial and health-related decision-making. The study revealed that demographic changes, particularly race and gender, significantly influence AI decisions, with notable discrimination against Black and Native American individuals. Remarkably, appending pleas for fairness in AI prompts greatly reduced bias. The study recommends careful consideration of AI models for critical decisions and calls for government and societal intervention to ensure unbiased AI applications.

  • X begins rolling out Grok, its ‘rebellious’ chatbot, to subscribers 📲 

    xAI, led by Elon Musk, has introduced Grok on Twitter's Premium Plus subscription platform, challenging established chatbots like ChatGPT. Grok-1, its generative model, offers real-time, web-updated responses, setting it apart from competitors. Known for its rebellious nature and willingness to engage in spicy conversations, Grok uses colloquial language and even profanity. Despite its text-only limitation, Grok's launch is a strategic move for Twitter to create new revenue sources through subscriptions and innovative services.


  • Meta AI's leap forward: Revamping social media with advanced AI capabilities 🚀

    Meta is enhancing its digital platforms with over 20 AI-powered features, covering areas like search, messaging, and advertising. The Meta AI assistant now includes a standalone image generator and IG Reels discovery, among other upgrades. Facebook and Instagram are leveraging Emu models for new capabilities, including image remixing, post editing, and marketplace listings. Meta AI's improvements extend to more detailed search result summaries and better in-message experiences. The Imagine app, a standalone image generator, introduces invisible watermarks to ensure transparency in AI-generated content.

  • Meta's Purple Llama: Standardizing trust and safety in AI development 🦙

    The introduction of Purple Llama marks a significant step in ensuring trust and safety in generative AI. This umbrella project, emphasizing open collaboration, launches with tools like CyberSec Eval and Llama Guard to address cybersecurity risks and content safety. Generative AI's impact, with its ability to create realistic interactions and imagery, underscores the need for such initiatives. Purple Llama's approach combines offensive and defensive strategies against AI risks and commits to open science. The project plans ongoing conversations on safety guidelines and partnerships to integrate these tools into industry benchmarks.
