🟦 ChatGPT, OpenAI's AI chatbot, is gaining popularity for routine tasks. However, concerns about data security and intellectual property leaks arise. While 28% of U.S. professionals use ChatGPT, 10% face corporate bans on such AI tools. Companies like Samsung have banned ChatGPT, while Coca-Cola and Tate & Lyle test it cautiously.

🗞️ LATEST NEWS & TRENDS

1️⃣ Amazon is designing custom microchips for generative AI in Austin, Texas. These chips, Inferentia and Trainium, are alternatives to Nvidia GPUs for large language model training. Amazon's cloud dominance gives it an edge, though it's playing catch-up to Microsoft and Google in the generative AI boom. Amazon's custom chips offer technical capabilities, but Nvidia's GPUs still lead in training models. AWS' expansion in generative AI tools and services, along with its massive customer base, positions it well for growth in the AI market.

2️⃣ NVIDIA AI Workbench is a developer toolkit that streamlines the process of creating, testing, and customizing generative AI models. It starts with selecting a pre-trained model and then fine-tuning it for specific use cases, initially on accessible devices like PCs. As projects grow, additional compute infrastructure in data centers or the cloud becomes necessary. AI Workbench simplifies this complex process by offering a unified platform for managing data, models, and resources, ensuring seamless collaboration and deployment. It integrates with various tools, supports JupyterLab and VS Code, and enables efficient scaling from local systems to larger resources.

3️⃣ Turo CEO Andre Haddad discusses the growth of their hosting community, driven by rising car prices and interest rates, leading to more individuals and multi-car hosts listing vehicles for income. The integration of AI, like ChatGPT, simplifies car searches and improves matching rates by enabling users to specify preferences for cars, budgets, and specs in a conversational manner. Turo's AI integration enhances user engagement and boosts traffic. Turo's expansion continues in the U.S., France, and Australia, with a focus on rapid growth and international presence.

4️⃣ Generative AI in software development is transforming the industry with a market size of USD 25.4 Mn in 2022, projected to reach USD 169.2 Mn by 2032. The technology autonomously produces code, driving rapid growth due to its efficiency and quick software deployment capabilities. Challenges include code quality and ethical concerns, but the future remains optimistic with continuous AI advancements.

5️⃣ Generative AI can revolutionize democracy by enhancing policymaking and reshaping election mechanics. However, it poses challenges like potential election biases, labor market disruptions, and the amplification of disinformation. Ensuring trust in this technology is crucial for upholding democratic principles.

🗞️ INDUSTRY & FUNCTION

Generative AI is changing how stores work and making shopping better for you. It looks at your past choices and suggests things you might like. It also helps stores keep track of what they have in stock so you can find what you want. This AI also helps stores do their jobs better, like predicting what people will buy and making ads that fit their interests. For stores to use this AI, they need to plan how to use it, collect the right information, and try it out to see how it works. This AI can make shopping and running stores better, but there are challenges too. It's important for stores to work with experts who know how to use this AI.

🗞️ RESOURCES

KDnuggets has released a cheat sheet detailing top Python libraries for generative AI applications. This guide highlights Python's dominance in generative AI due to its adaptability and vast library ecosystem. Key libraries featured include OpenAI, Transformers, Gradio, LangChain, and LlamaIndex. The cheat sheet serves as a compact reference for both beginners and experts in the field.

🗞️ WORK

Todd Wang and Haoxiang Jia, MSBA students from Fordham University, developed an "AI Interviewer" to aid in interview preparations. The AI Interviewer:

  • Provides tailored interview questions based on job descriptions.

  • Covers various interview types: professional, behavioral, and resume-based.

  • Offers personalized feedback and evaluations.

  • Uses technologies like OpenAI Whisper for speech-to-text and Amazon Polly for text-to-speech.

  • The app's development involves creating vector embeddings, interviewer guidelines, and a chatbot interviewer.

The authors hope to inspire others to create similar tools using Streamlit.
