AI's growing impact on our lives demands society's broader engagement, not just a select group's decisions. Our publications aim to foster this inclusive conversation on the potential and risks of AI.

🗞️ LATEST NEWS & TRENDS

1️⃣ OpenAI has devised a method using GPT-4 for content moderation, comparing AI decisions with human judgments. While they claim efficiency, past AI moderation tools have shown biases. Thus, while GPT-4 might improve moderation, human oversight remains essential.

2️⃣ During recent earnings calls, publishing executives debated generative AI's impact on media. News Corp's CEO warned of AI's potential harm to journalism, while BuzzFeed and IAC saw business opportunities. A key issue is tech companies using content without authorization for LLM training, prompting negotiations for compensation. Although the exact role of generative AI in media remains unclear, a consortium, including News Corp, is pushing for regulatory protection against unauthorized content use by LLMs. The New York Times has left this coalition.

3️⃣ Major companies, including Unilever and Siemens, use AI to optimize supply chains amid geopolitical and human rights concerns. Generative AI advancements enhance supply chain automation. Maersk and others deploy AI chatbots, like Pactum, for contract negotiations. Siemens uses tools like Scoutbee to diversify suppliers. While 96% of supply chain professionals plan to adopt AI, job security concerns remain.

4️⃣ David Vellante's article highlights the ongoing debate between cloud versus on-premises hosting for generative AI systems. Survey data reveals a projected rise in AI spending. Concerns about IP leakage, data migration challenges, and technical debt shape the cloud vs. on-premises conversation. Drawing parallels with early cloud adoption, the article stresses the importance of thoughtful deployment decisions for AI, as public clouds offer rich tools and scalability, but on-premises systems may be more cost-effective in certain scenarios. Proper understanding is crucial to prevent costly missteps in AI system deployment.

5️⃣ Google's AI-Powered Search Update

  • New Feature: Google's Search Generative Experience (SGE) will now summarize online articles.

  • Availability: Initially in Google's opt-in Search Labs program, starting on the Google app for Android and iOS, soon on Chrome desktop.

  • Function: Tap an icon in the mobile app to see AI-generated "key points" from public articles. Doesn't support paywalled content.

  • Other Improvements: Enhanced definitions and diagrams for certain search terms and clearer coding information summaries.

🗞️ INDUSTRY | FUNCTION

Generative AI in the Automotive Industry: A Snapshot

  • Purpose: Generative AI is revolutionizing productivity and creativity, especially in the transportation sector.

  • Applications:

    • Enhances vehicle design, manufacturing, and marketing, and supports autonomous vehicle development.

    • Converts 2D sketches to 3D models, streamlining design processes.

  • Notable Implementations:

    • Toyota uses it in design sketches; Mercedes-Benz has a ChatGPT voice assistant.

  • Manufacturing: BMW uses AI tools for factory planning and design.

  • Marketing Impact:

    • Boosts brainstorming and feedback collection.

    • NVIDIA and WPP are crafting an AI-enabled content engine for advertising.

  • Future Outlook: Generative AI promises improved efficiency, quality, and cost savings in automotive design, manufacturing, marketing, and sales.

🗞️ RESOURCES

The University of Toronto provides preliminary guidance on the use of generative AI, like ChatGPT, in graduate thesis research and writing, emphasizing academic quality, research integrity, and transparency. Graduate students must gain written approval from supervisors and committees before using generative AI, and unauthorized use may result in academic penalties. Theses should properly cite and describe any generative AI usage, and both students and faculty should be aware of associated risks. Specific departments may have additional requirements or provide further guidelines on generative AI's role in research and writing.

🗞️ WORK

McKinsey's recent report sheds light on the transformative role of AI across industries. Rapid AI growth is most prominent in knowledge-heavy sectors like tech and banking, yet many firms remain unprepared for its widespread adoption. On the job front, while AI threatens about 12 million US jobs primarily in the service sectors, there's potential growth in STEM and healthcare roles. Despite certain pushbacks, remote work continues to gain momentum, especially with tech giants recruiting for such positions. The future of work will see a blend of increased remote positions and AI integration.
