Microsoft Deploying Generative AI For US Spies

Microsoft has developed an offline generative AI model designed specifically to handle top-secret information for US intelligence agencies. This system, based on GPT-4, is isolated from the internet and only accessible through a network exclusive to the US government. William Chappell, Microsoft's chief technology officer for strategic missions and technology, told Bloomberg that, theoretically, around 10,000 individuals could access the system. While spy agencies have been eager to leverage the GenAI capabilities, security concerns have been stopping them from experimenting so far but Microsoft claims to have created a clean system where it can read files without learning from them, preventing any leakages into the internet or into the platform.

MediaTek's New Chipset Prioritizes On-Device Generative AI

MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ processor is expected to facilitate multimodal application processing on the smartphone. It delivers up to 25% less cellular data use and up to 10% less power consumption. The Dimensity 9300+ also has MiraVision 990, which helps with photos in portrait mode. The 5G R16 modem on the new MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ facilitates AI situational awareness regarding connectivity. It supports 4CC-CA sub-6GHz bands and up to 7Gbps downlink. While these advancements are certainly head turning in nature but can they be as functional as the company claims it to be as well? Keep Reading

Duolingo Attributes Increase In Revenue In First Quarter To Generative AI

Duolingo is convinced that a 45% increase in first-quarter revenue to $167.6 million is due to generative AI which has accelerated its subscription growth and enabled faster content creation. The technology has enabled the company to boost its outlook while other online learning companies report sales declines for the quarter. Duolingo aims to create a human-like tutor experience as it looks to boost AI-monetization efforts around expanding its family subscription plan and Duolingo Max plan. Generative AI has sped up content development exponentially, cutting some projects down from five years to three months, Chief Executive Luis von Ahn said on the company’s earnings call.

Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, Runway and DevianArt Facing Lawsuits Over Copyright Infringement

For years, leading AI companies like Midjourney and OpenAI, have enjoyed seemingly unfettered regulation, but a landmark court case could change that. On May 9, a California federal judge allowed ten artists to move forward with their allegations against Stability AI, Runway, DeviantArt, and Midjourney. This includes proceeding with discovery, which means the AI companies will be asked to turn over internal documents for review and allow witness examination. While OpenAI and Microsoft are already facing copyright infringement lawsuits from leading media houses, this landmark lawsuit in California could open doors for more such lawsuits protecting the human.

California Government Testing New Generative AI Tools

California is among the first states to roll out guidelines on when and how state agencies can buy AI tools as lawmakers across the country grapple with how to regulate the emerging technology. The state will partner with five companies to develop and test generative AI tools that could improve public service. Initially, four state departments will test generative AI tools: The Department of Tax and Fee Administration, the California Department of Transportation, the Department of Public Health, and the Health and Human Services Department.

Anthropic AI Now Allows Minors To Use Claude But With Safety Provisions

Anthropic, the parent company of Claude has updated its policies, now allowing teens and preteens to use third-party applications powered by its AI models. This change is contingent on these apps incorporating specific safety features, and informing users about the underlying Anthropic technologies. However, the policy revision does not necessarily apply to Anthropic's own native applications. The company has detailed various safety measures for developers, making AI-powered apps for minors in a support article. Read Safety Guidelines
