📰 Sakana AI - New AI research lab

Two distinguished former Google AI researchers have introduced Sakana AI, an innovative startup situated in Tokyo that embraces a "swarm" strategy by amalgamating multiple compact AI models.

Sakana AI's unique trajectory involves orchestrating specialized smaller models akin to natural swarms, harnessing their collective potential to rival the capabilities of massive individual models.

The central aim of this approach is to curtail the requisites for extensive data and expenditures, distinguishing it from the conventional path of amplifying solitary gargantuan models.

A noteworthy figure among the co-founders is Llion Jones, who played a pivotal role in pioneering the transformer architecture – the foundational framework underpinning ChatGPT's functionality.

In light of the transformative impact that transformers have had on the realm of AI, the attention is now fixated on the ingenuity that these former luminaries from Google can manifest. The decentralized methodology pursued by their startup has the potential to chart novel avenues for advancing within the ongoing AI competition.

🤖 Snapchat’s AI goes rogue

In recent days, a wave of concern swept through the Snapchat community when several users turned to Twitter to share their experiences of the chatbot autonomously sharing stories on their profiles while failing to engage with messages.

Fortunately, Snap's AI has yet to gain independent sentience. Snap officially confirmed that the problem stemmed from a technical disruption and emphasized their prompt resolution of the matter.

Introduced earlier this year, Snap's My AI has been met with both intrigue and controversy since its inception. Numerous users have expressed their dissent by submitting one-star reviews, voicing their reservations about the AI-powered chatbot.

🧠 INSIGHTS

👀 Microsoft makes ChatGPT available and secure for businesses with Azure

If you have considered employing ChatGPT in your professional setting, you may have received cautionary advice from a coworker or your IT department indicating that sharing any corporate information with the chatbot could pose a security risk.

In fact, several prominent corporations such as Amazon, Apple, and Samsung took measures to prohibit their employees from utilizing ChatGPT earlier this year. This precaution stemmed from concerns that the platform might utilize sensitive company data to enhance its internal models.

However, Microsoft might have come up with a viable solution for individuals seeking to utilize ChatGPT in a professional context. The open-source iteration of ChatGPT, which is accessible on Github, operates within the Azure framework. This version offers businesses a level of privacy by creating a barrier between their data and OpenAI.
