Artificial intelligence is not waiting. While most of the world is still wondering whether ChatGPT really understands sarcasm, Microsoft has already added an AI button to its keyboard. But behind the scenes, shifts are happening that are changing the way we work, create, and even exist. So - this week in artificial intelligence #14!
Artificial intelligence
Who else will go to work? You used to drink coffee in the morning, grab your bag and go to work. In the evening you complained about your boss, waited for Friday as salvation, and had an existential crisis on Sundays. Today? Your boss can be a chatbot, and your work can become a function in an API overnight. Welcome to a time when we are not only losing jobs, but also the sense of why we work at all.
When Elon Musk says that Cybercab robotaxis will be rolling out of the factory every 5 seconds, most people think: another "Elon". But if we look closely behind the scenes of the new production architecture, it quickly becomes clear: this is not hype, this is a reset of the automotive industry. The Tesla Cybercab is completely different from any car in the world, at least in 7 key production moments.
Artificial intelligence will take over most jobs within a decade, says Bill Gates, but three professions will remain firmly anchored - surviving the transition to AI - in human hands. No, this is not another conspiracy theory from the Facebook group "AI is stealing our dreams", but a realistic analysis of the future that the famous billionaire is sharing with the world.
What's happening with Apple and artificial intelligence - Apple Intelligence? We know this story already - almost as well as the iconic Nokia ringtone. A tech giant falls asleep at the wheel, misses the next big wave and... poof. From disruptor to PowerPoint note. Let's remember Nokia, BlackBerry, Skype. They once ruled the world, but today they are digital fossils, mentioned only out of nostalgia or as a warning.
Grok, the new AI assistant from Elon Musk's xAI lab, is coming to Tesla vehicles and promises to make driving not only smarter, but also a lot more fun. Forget boring voice commands - now you'll have your own JARVIS with a sense of humor in your car. So Grok xAI is coming to Tesla vehicles.
Elon Musk sold Twitter to himself for $45 billion. But don't panic, it's just a "family reshuffle" among his companies. The goal? To turn X into the world's largest AI platform. X has a new owner!
OpenAI has taken the next logical step in the evolution of its popular ChatGPT: Now the digital assistant can not only talk (read: express the whole meaning of the world in five sentences), but also draw pictures. And it's quite impressive. In a recent live demonstration, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and his team showed how the new GPT-4o (o for "omg, this is good") model can effortlessly create pictures - and it does so naturally, without separate commands or artistic rituals.
If you've browsed the internet (or watched a "future of tech" video) in the last ten years, you've probably heard the promise: drone delivery. That flying utopia where a package containing an iPhone or a burrito arrives straight from the sky, with no delays, no human error, no "did the courier really leave this at your door?" That's Zipline.
AI That Lies Better Than Humans: Why the Future of AI Could Trick Us Without Us Even Realizing It. OpenAI reveals a new threat in the world of AI – super-smart models that can hide their evil intentions. And yes, that means punishing AI for “bad thoughts” only makes it more insidious.
Silicon Valley is excited about AI agents. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, predicts that agents will “enter the workforce” this year. Microsoft’s Satya Nadella promises that they will replace certain scientific jobs, and Salesforce’s Marc Benioff is aiming to make his company “the leading provider of digital workforces” through its “agent” services. But there’s one big problem: no one knows exactly what an AI agent even is. What is an AI agent anyway?
Are we past the era of AI chatbots patiently waiting for us to give them commands, and entering the era of autonomous AI agents that don't need our input? If you ask Chinese AI visionaries, the answer is simple: Absolutely yes!
