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.

Google's Bard chatbot is set to roll out a new feature called "memory," which allows it to store and adapt to important user information and personalize the conversational experience. The update aims to improve Google's chatbot by understanding and storing essential information about individuals, such as if you have children, where you like to travel, or if you're a vegetarian, and adapting its responses accordingly. OpenAI offers a similar feature with the recently released custom instructions for ChatGPT. With ChatGPT getting DALL-E 3 soon and Bard recently getting support for chatting your personal documents and data, the chatbot race is definitely still on between Google and OpenAI.

Nuclear energy could play a role in meeting the high-power demands of AI systems, especially for continuous and stable power. Microsoft is exploring small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) for data centers hosting its cloud and AI services, and is seeking a program manager to develop a strategy.

"This senior position is tasked with leading the technical assessment for the integration of SMR and microreactors to power the data centers that the Microsoft Cloud and AI reside on."

Critics of nuclear power worry about safety, waste storage, and competition with renewable energy sources.

Just a quick FYI: You can now preview DALLE-3 in Bing Image Creator before the full chat version launches in ChatGPT Plus in October. The prompt for the image below was "Exterior view of an old junk store in New York in the 80s. The shop sign reads "THE DECODER". In the window of the store is a sign that says "AI NEWS FOR FREE". I used the Image Creator via Edge.

Image: DALL-E 3 prompted by THE DECODER

The result seems great, much better than existing systems in following the prompt, but not perfect when it comes to the writing. Let's see how good the ChatGPT version works, since it offers the option to refine images. The image above is the best one out of four.
