π° Sam Altman seeks $7 trillion for new AI chip project LINK
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, is aiming to raise trillions of dollars from investors, including the UAE government, to revolutionize the semiconductor industry and overcome chip shortages critical for AI development.
Altman's project seeks to expand global chip manufacturing capacity and enhance AI capabilities, requiring an investment of $5 trillion to $7 trillion, which would significantly exceed the current semiconductor industry size.
Sam Altman's vision includes forming partnerships with OpenAI, investors, chip manufacturers, and energy suppliers to create chip foundries, requiring extensive funding that might involve debt financing.
π« FCC declares AI-voiced robocalls illegal LINK
The FCC has made it illegal for robocalls to use AI-generated voices, allowing state attorneys general to take legal action against such practices.
AI-generated voices are now classified as "an artificial or prerecorded voice" under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), restricting their use for non-emergency purposes without prior consent.
The FCC's ruling aims to combat scams and misinformation spread through AI-generated voice robocalls, providing state attorneys general with enhanced tools for enforcement.
π€ OpenAI is developing two AI agents to automate entire work processes LINK
OpenAI is developing two AI agents aimed at automating complex tasks; one is device-specific for tasks like data transfer and filling out forms, while the other focuses on web-based tasks such as data collection and booking tickets.
The company aims to evolve ChatGPT into a super-smart personal assistant for work, capable of performing tasks in the user's style, incorporating the latest data, and potentially being marketed as a standalone product or part of a software suite.
OpenAI's efforts complement trends where companies like Google and startups are working towards AI agents capable of carrying out actions on behalf of users.
π Google Bard rebrands as βGeminiβ with new Android app and Advanced model LINK
Google has renamed its AI and related applications to Gemini, introducing a dedicated Android app and incorporating features formerly known as Duet AI in Google Workspace into the Gemini brand.
Gemini will replace Google Assistant as the default AI assistant on Android devices and is designed to be a comprehensive tool that is conversational, multimodal, and highly helpful.
Alongside the rebranding, Google announced the Gemini Ultra 1.0, a superior version of its large language model available through a new $20-monthly Google One AI Premium plan, aiming to set new benchmarks in AI capabilities.
