Hub AI in practice

Artificial Intelligence is present in everyday life – from “googling” to facial recognition to vacuum cleaner robots. AI tools are becoming more and more elaborate and support people and companies more effectively in their tasks, such as generating graphics, texting or coding, or interpreting large amounts of data.

What AI tools are there, how do they work, how do they help in our everyday world – and how do they change our lives? These are the questions we address in our Content Hub Artificial Intelligence in Practice.

Common Sense Media, a leading US advocacy group for children and families, has announced a partnership with OpenAI. The goal is to harness the full potential of AI for youth and families and minimize the risks. The collaboration will begin with the creation of AI guidelines and educational materials for parents, educators, and youth, as well as a selection of family-friendly GPTs in the GPT Store, based on Common Sense's ratings and standards.

"Humans are tool users and we better teach people to use the tools that are going to be out in the world. To not teach people to use those would be a mistake."

Google has released an "AI Opportunity whitepaper" to aid ASEAN governments in leveraging AI's potential. The paper outlines policy recommendations for ASEAN member states (AMS) on how to maximize the benefits of AI. Three key suggestions include investing in innovation infrastructure, building an AI-ready workforce, and promoting inclusive adoption and accessibility. Google has also pledged to support infrastructure, skilling, and accessibility efforts through various initiatives. These include partnering with the Singapore government to launch AI programs, supporting AI Singapore to organize cross-sector industry roundtables, and launching an AI Policy and Skilling Lab for Southeast Asia.

In the first six months since China began regulating AI models, the country has approved more than 40 models for public use, with the latest batch of 14 large language models (LLMs) granted last week. The recipients include Xiaomi Corp, 4Paradigm, and 01.AI, Reuters reports. Beijing began requiring tech companies to seek approval for their LLMs for public use in August, underscoring the nation's approach to AI development while maintaining control over the technology. The first batch of AI models approved included Baidu, Alibaba and ByteDance. One of the most interesting questions will be how effective these approval processes are. A recent experiment showed that you can get Chinese LLMs to talk about topics that the CCP probably doesn't want them to talk about.

Midjourney has added pan, zoom, and vary (Region) to its V6. The pan feature now acts more like zoom, promising higher quality results with "more coherence and less repetition of concepts". It also works with upscale, vary (region), and remix, but doesn't infinitely increase resolution anymore. These options are available under V6 bot upscales (Discord) and on the alpha website (except vary region). Additionally, Midjourney's alpha website with image creation is now accessible to anyone who has created at least 5000 images on the platform. You can check how many images you have created with "/info" on Discord. Midjourney has also implemented a new feedback feature to help its engineers prioritize their work based on user feedback.
