Notes I took from the artificial intelligence news that caught my eye between April 30 and May 3.

  • The previously announced feature that brings memory capability to ChatGPT has been rolled out to ChatGPT Plus users. OpenAI says that with this feature, Chat will provide more personalized answers. It is also stated that users will have full control over what ChatGPT remembers and what it does not. I hope so.

Memory is now available to all ChatGPT Plus users. Using Memory is easy: just start a new chat and tell ChatGPT anything you’d like it to remember.

Memory can be turned on or off in settings and is not currently available in Europe or Korea. Team, Enterprise, and GPTs to come. pic.twitter.com/mlt9vyYeMK — OpenAI (@OpenAI) April 29, 2024

  • OpenAI and the Financial Times have partnered on generative artificial intelligence (AI) technology to produce the Financial Times’ text-based content faster and more efficiently. This partnership is said to enable rapid analysis of news, faster writing of texts, and reaching a wider audience.
  • Apple has opened a new artificial intelligence lab in Zurich and is said to have hired leading AI experts from Google. It is hoped that with this move, Apple will develop its AI-based products and services and strengthen the company’s presence in the field of artificial intelligence.
  • After the announcement of Microsoft 365 Copilot for enterprises in November last year, the application finally received Turkish language support. If anyone is using the artificial intelligence-supported business application to which 16 more languages have been added along with Turkish, I am genuinely curious about their satisfaction levels.
  • A group of eight publishers belonging to Alden Capital Group, including the New York Daily News and Chicago Tribune, has filed a lawsuit alleging that Microsoft and OpenAI copied the newspaper’s articles using their language model. As artificial intelligence changes the world and the way it operates, one cannot help but wonder about the consequences and effects of such legal conflicts.
  • AWS has announced the general availability of Amazon Q, a generative artificial intelligence (AI) powered assistant to accelerate software development and leverage companies’ internal data.
  • Nvidia’s ChatRTX chatbot, which comes with better photo search, AI speech recognition, and more LLMs, received a major update. I had decided to wait to reinstall the local PC AI engine, which I had installed on my computer and then deleted because it started giving errors on its own. After watching the video, I decided there is no need to wait anymore.
  • Anthropic has released its iOS app for the artificial intelligence chatbot Claude. The Claude iOS app synchronizes with web chats so users can pick up conversations where they left off across different devices. Along with the iOS app, they also introduced a new ‘Team’ plan costing $30 per person.
  • Because of the video below, questions have begun to arise in minds about whether the AI-supported device called Rabbit R1 introduced at CES 2024 is actually an Android app. The company rejected the claims, saying that the R1 is a unique virtual assistant and that these allegations are not true. They emphasized that Rabbit R1 offers a different approach and that the device integrates many different services.
  • Microsoft has banned US police departments from using its enterprise artificial intelligence tool. This decision stems from concerns over racial bias and the potential misuse of artificial intelligence by law enforcement. Microsoft previously allowed the use of the AI tool with police body cameras. However, the company is now restricting its use in facial recognition technology.
  • According to an article published on PetaPixel, Adobe argues that artificial intelligence is the “new digital camera.” The adoption of artificial intelligence could harm photographers. They think that images generated by artificial intelligence could threaten the jobs of human photographers. And yes, I agree too. But not just for photos. I think it is an undeniable fact that if ‘AI’ development continues like this, 5 years from now we will have less need for many artists/workers (cinema, audio, photography, storytelling, painting, between us but even including those working in the p-rn industry).

  • Before I forget, let me mention the latest updates regarding Google Gemini. Google rolled out the Extensions feature in Turkey, which works cooperatively with Maps, Hotels, Flights, YouTube, and Workspace. Additionally, a new feature has arrived that allows you to chat directly with artificial intelligence by typing @gemini into the Chrome search bar.
