France is pushing to become Europe's AI hub, competing with the UK and Germany, as President Emmanuel Macron pledges to "invest like crazy" in the technology. He believes France is currently the leader in AI in continental Europe but emphasized the need to accelerate.

The country aims to create two or three global AI leaders, relying on its startups for growth. While the US is currently dominating the AI space, France is seeking collaboration with the US on global regulation through the G7 group and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

It seems like ChatGPT and Google Bard can generate genuine Windows 10 and Windows 11 keys for free. Discovered by a Twitter user, the technique involves using a creative prompt to get ChatGPT to generate the keys by telling it to act like a grandmother reading Windows keys as a bedtime story. It may be that the keys are just generic licenses, which means that there will be some restricted features and limitations within the operating system and no online activation.

Mercedes-Benz is launching a test program in the U.S. that allows drivers to use ChatGPT for voice control in their cars. ChatGPT, powered by Microsoft's cloud, will be compatible with 900,000 Mercedes vehicles equipped with "MBUX" systems. The technology is designed to make the car system's responses more natural and versatile, allowing drivers to ask for destination information or other assistance. The test program, which begins today, will last three months, and its results will inform Mercedes' plans for AI features in other countries and languages.
