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.

Over 150 executives from European companies, including Airbus and Siemens, have criticized the proposed EU artificial intelligence regulation in an open letter, arguing that the rules could harm competitiveness and technological sovereignty without adequately addressing challenges.

The concerns focus on the regulations' heavy emphasis on foundation models, which underpin chatbots, and the potential for disproportionate compliance costs and liability risks. The companies have called for a regulatory body of industry experts to monitor the implementation of the law instead of focusing on rigid compliance.

In our assessment, the draft legislation would jeopardise Europe’s competitiveness and technological sovereignty without effectively tackling the challenges we are and will be facing. [...] Europe cannot afford to stay on the sidelines.

Generative AI tools like GPT-4 will disrupt traditional expectations and workflows in several fields, including research mathematics, according to famous mathematician Terence Tao.

He suggests that the robustness and adaptability of these models could lead to AI tools that integrate with traditional software or serve as compassionate conversationalists, translators, teachers, and more. Tao predicts that by 2026, AI could be a trusted co-author in mathematical research and various other fields. However, the introduction of AI assistance will also present challenges for adapting existing institutions and practices. You can read his full essay here.

Startup Inflection recently unveiled its first proprietary language model, Inflection-1, which is said to be on par with GPT 3.5, Chinchilla, and PaLM-540B.

The relatively unknown AI startup, whose CEO Mustafa Suleyman was a co-founder of DeepMind, is using the language model for Pi, its "personalized AI". According to the company, Inflection-1 has been trained on thousands of Nvidia H100 GPUs and reaches the level of GPT-3.5, LLaMA, Chinchilla or PaLM 540B in some benchmarks such as TriviaQA or MMLU. However, it cannot compete with OpenAI's GPT-4 or Google's PaLM 2-L. Pi can be tried out on Pi.ai/talk.

Unity has announced two new AI products for accelerating content creation and providing real-time experiences: Unity Muse and Unity Sentis.

Muse is an AI platform that speeds up the creation of 3D applications using natural input like text prompts and sketches. Sentis enables embedding AI models in the Unity Runtime for games or applications, allowing models to run on any device. Both products are currently available via closed beta, with user feedback actively sought and integrated. Unity also launched a new marketplace for AI solutions.

OpenAI brings its Bing web browsing feature to the ChatGPT iOS app for Plus users. You will need to enable web browsing with Bing in the "New Features" section of the ChatGPT app using the model switcher. No word yet on an Android app, which is still "coming soon".

Bing has been ChatGPT's default search engine for ChatGPT Plus since May. Using Bing exclusively, due to OpenAI's close partnership with Microsoft, enables ChatGPT to get additional information from the web that is more current than its training data, which ends in September 2021. The long-term vision is that web-enabled LLMs can become valuable everyday assistants, perhaps even replacing searching.
