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.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams is using an AI voice clone to send multilingual robocalls to city residents. The robocalls are designed to encourage people to apply for city jobs and attend community events. The move is part of the city's recent rollout of AI technology, including a new chatbot that can answer basic questions on the city's 311 hotline. The city is using Eleven Labs' Voice Lab program to clone the voice. The price tag is about $32,000, according to city officials, while the chatbot cost about $600,000 to develop. The use of AI has drawn criticism from privacy advocates, who argue that the technology could be used to spread misinformation.

Deepmind is using AI to tackle climate change in three ways, according to Sims Witherspoon, Deepmind's head of climate action. First, AI can help understand climate change through better prediction and monitoring models. Second, AI can optimize current systems and existing infrastructure, such as improving energy efficiency in data centers. Finally, AI can accelerate breakthrough science, such as controlling plasma shapes in nuclear fusion reactors for carbon-free energy. However, challenges include access to climate-critical data and collaboration with domain experts. You can read the full interview with Witherspoon at WIRED.

OpenAI is in talks to sell employee shares at a valuation of $86 billion, making it one of the world's most valuable private companies, Bloomberg reports. The AI startup, known for its GPT language models and ChatGPT, is negotiating the offer with potential investors.

Microsoft owns 49% of OpenAI, which is reportedly on track to generate $1.3 billion in annual revenue, exceeding investor expectations. The biggest revenue driver is subscriptions to ChatGPT Plus. The new figure suggests more than $100 million in monthly revenue, but due to the high cost of training and deploying large language models, OpenAI doesn't expect to be profitable in the near term. The company will likely continue to raise funds for computing costs to develop and maintain its AI systems.
