🗞️ IN THE NEWS
What's beyond ChatGPT? OpenAI unveils personalized AI agents that redefine human-machine interaction: Users can easily build their custom GPTs, opening the door to a future where AI becomes more personalized and deeply integrated into various aspects of our lives.
A Fusion of AI and Human Creativity in Entrepreneurship: Nachiket and Ankita, IIT Bombay students, undertook a project to assess AI's role in helping a novice entrepreneur create a startup. They combined AI tools like ChatGPT, DALL·E, Uizard, and Canva with human creativity to develop "Mythic Mode," an apparel brand blending Indian mythology with modern design. The project highlighted AI's utility in idea generation and routine tasks, while emphasizing the crucial role of human judgment in ensuring cultural and emotional resonance with the target audience.
Japan's generative AI guidelines to carry no penalties: Japan's upcoming AI guidelines emphasize ethical use and data protection without penalizing noncompliance, targeting businesses in high-risk sectors like finance and healthcare, and considering a certification system for AI developers, while excluding general users.
Generative AI is the major turning point in skills-first hiring, says former IBM CEO Ginni Rometty: ‘People are afraid of what their jobs are going to look like’:
Ginni Rometty, ex-CEO of IBM and chairman of OneTen, champions skills-first hiring over traditional pedigree. She initiated IBM's SkillsFirst, focusing on non-degreed but skilled workers, a concept now vital due to educational costs, a volatile job market, and AI advancements. This approach, gaining momentum from social justice movements and AI's rapid growth, advocates for continuous skill development, democratizing the workforce beyond DEI initiatives, and valuing soft skills in an AI-integrated future.
Sam Altman’s Return Sparks New Fears of the AI Apocalypse: In a dramatic five-day upheaval at OpenAI, CEO Sam Altman was ousted and then reinstated, prompting a board reshuffle and raising concerns about AI governance. This event highlighted tensions between OpenAI's nonprofit mission and commercial interests, and the challenges of regulating powerful AI technologies. The situation underscores the need for robust governance mechanisms in AI companies and has intensified debates among various stakeholders about the future direction of AI regulation and development.
🔦 INDUSTRY SPOTLIGHT
South Korea, renowned for its innovative university-industry partnerships, is now focusing on creating its own generative AI technologies, like ChatGPT, to cater to local linguistic and cultural nuances.
