Generative AI, the technology behind ChatGPT, is going supernova, as astronomers say, outshining other innovations for the moment. But despite alarmist predictions of AI overlords enslaving mankind, the technology still requires human handlers and will for some time to come.

While AI can generate content and code at a blinding pace, it still requires humans to oversee the output, which can be low quality or simply wrong. Whether it be writing a report or writing a computer program, the technology cannot be trusted to deliver accuracy that humans can rely on. It’s getting better, but even that process of improvement depends on an army of humans painstakingly correcting the AI model’s mistakes in an effort to teach it to ‘behave.’

Humans in the loop is an old concept in AI. It refers to the practice of involving human experts in the process of training and refining AI systems to ensure that they perform correctly and meet the desired objectives.

Microsoft Teams has been totally overhauled to run faster and have a more simplified interface.

Microsoft is overhauling its Teams app today to make it faster and easier to use. Microsoft Teams has been rebuilt from the ground up, with a new preview available today for businesses to try out this radical rework that has been years in the making.

“The new Teams is faster, simpler, and more flexible than ever before,” says Sumi Singh, CVP of engineering for Microsoft Teams, in an interview with The Verge. “We’ve made tremendous strides in performance and usability. The new Teams is 2x faster while using 50 percent fewer resources.”

Apple has quietly acquired a Mountain View-based startup, WaveOne, that was developing AI algorithms for compressing video.

Apple wouldn’t confirm the sale when asked for comment. But WaveOne’s website was shut down around January, and several former employees, including one of WaveOne’s co-founders, now work within Apple’s various machine learning groups.

WaveOne’s former head of sales and business development, Bob Stankosh, announced the sale in a LinkedIn post published a month ago.

Against conventional architecture, the novel device enables processing to happen within the storage of a system.

The advent of ChatGPT has made Artificial Intelligence (AI) coupled with a language model accessible and practical for daily tasks, including paper writing, translation, coding, and more, all through question-and-answer-based interactions.

The disruptive launch of OpenAI’s product has created ripples in the industry, with technology giants like Google and Microsoft scrambling to maintain their position in the market by launching their half-baked AI-powered models.

The company will charge $50 million per launch of its next-gen rocket, bringing it in line with SpaceX.

Rocket Lab is developing a larger, reusable rocket called Neutron to help it compete with SpaceX’s Falcon 9 launch capabilities.

Rocket Lab’s Neutron will “compete directly with the Falcon 9”.

The ability of Ernie Bot to create images from text commands is thought to be a distinct advantage over ChatGPT, claims a report.

Baidu’s Ernie Bot scores better than OpenAI’s ChatGPT in accuracy but needs more political knowledge.

The stringent restrictions in China maybe made it difficult for Ernie Bot to answer inquiries about Chinese politics, according to a random test conducted by South China Morning Post (SCMP) on Sunday.
