Baidu CEO Robin Li says Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) won't be here for at least another decade. AGI would be a smarter AI, able to understand and learn like humans. Li believes we're still far from reaching this level of AI. Baidu is working on advanced AI projects, but true AGI is a big challenge. Some experts think AGI might take even longer to develop.
Google's new AI search tool, "AI Overviews," is being criticized for giving odd and wrong answers. For example, it suggested using "non-toxic glue" to make cheese stick to pizza and said geologists recommend eating a rock a day. These bizarre answers seem to come from Reddit or satirical articles. Google says these are rare cases and most responses are accurate. They've fixed the issues and are improving the system. This isn't the first time Google's AI has had problems, like their chatbot Gemini.
This week we gonna talk about decision Trees. Computer vision is a field of artificial intelligence that enables computers to interpret and make decisions based on visual data from the world. It involves the development of algorithms that allow machines to recognize objects, understand scenes, and even process and analyze images and videos in a way similar to human vision. This technology is made possible through machine learning, where computers are trained on large datasets of images to learn patterns and features. It is useful because it automates tasks that would require human visual inspection, saving time and reducing errors. It has a wide range of applications, from facial recognition and medical imaging to autonomous vehicles and quality inspection in manufacturing.
Exclusive Content
Michael Schumacher's family won a lawsuit against a magazine that published a fake AI-generated interview with the F1 legend. The German magazine, Die Aktuelle, falsely claimed it had an exclusive interview with Schumacher. The family received €200,000 in compensation for the misleading article.
OpenAI has launched GPT-4o, a new version of its GPT-4 model for ChatGPT that is faster and better at handling text, images, and audio. It’s free for all users, but paid users will get more capacity. The new model can understand and generate content using voice, text, or images. Developers can access GPT-4o through an API that costs half as much and is twice as fast as GPT-4 Turbo. New features include a voice mode that acts like a real-time voice assistant. OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, mentioned that the company’s focus is now on making AI tools for developers rather than open-sourcing them .
