Microsoft Hires DeepMind Suleyman

Job hunt season

Reflecting on AI innovations and trends last week. Microsoft Hires DeepMind Suleyman. Nvidia declares 2024 as the year of the 'humanoid' robot. GPT store spam alert. Superlinked new funding round. Honestly, AI has experienced a slight pause this week, offering us a chance to reflect and speculate.

Here are the 4 interesting AI things that I learned and enjoyed this week.

4 AI Things

Nvidia has just introduced GR00T at the GTC 2024 conference, promising a new era for humanoid robots. Unlike anything before, GR00T is designed as a foundational model for these robots, aiming to kickstart their development for various specific tasks. What makes GR00T stand out is its ability to understand and replicate human actions by watching us, making humanoid robots more adept at navigating and interacting with our world. With support from big names in the humanoid robot industry, Nvidia's GR00T is poised to learn from both real-world data and simulations to enhance its capabilities.

AI News
Microsoft has seriously stepped up its AI game by bringing Mustafa Suleyman, co-founder of DeepMind, into their team. It's like they've picked the best player for their team right before the big game to make sure they come out on top in the AI competition. Suleyman left Google, where he had been a big deal, to start his own AI company, Inflection AI, with the goal of changing how we interact with technology. Now, he's moving to Microsoft with his talented crew, including the brilliant Karén Simonyan, to push forward with his innovative ideas there.

Responsible AI is about creating smart technologies that play by the rules of being fair, transparent, and safe for everyone. It's like when superheroes use their powers wisely and ethically, instead of just showing off. This means when someone builds an AI, they make sure it can explain why it made a certain decision. They also work hard to eliminate biases—no preferring one group of people over another. Plus, they keep a tight grip on the AI's privacy settings to protect your PII data. In short, Responsible AI is all about ensuring that as AI gets smarter, it's used in ways that benefit everyone and harm no one.

Now, making a website can take just 60 seconds, thanks to Dora, an AI tool. Imagine being able to chat your way into creating a website. Dora lets you:

  • Build websites by just telling it what you want.

  • Add cool 3D models that people can interact with.

  • Design your site to look great on phones, tablets, or computers.

  • Skip the coding part and still make awesome websites.

  • Bring your website to life with animations, no tech skills needed.

In short, Dora is your go-to for making fancy websites easily, without needing to dive into coding or design courses.
