8. Google Flood AI In its ongoing attempt to "add AI to everything," Google released an AI to forecast flood dangers near your home. It uses AI to read weather patterns 7 days in advance and predict how deep the waters will get. And it works GLOBALLY to help... those in need.show more

AI allows for the rapid exploration of chemical space, increasing the probability of discovering new antibacterial molecules. The team screened ~7,500 molecules and performed predictions to narrow down to one candidate. It resulted in publishing in a peer-reviewed journal.

3. Minecraft AI A team including @DrJimFan released Voyager. It plays Minecraft on its own. And the crazy part - it just keeps getting better over time 🤯

It writes CODE to play Minecraft. It's an advanced application of autonomous agents (started before AutoGPT but supported by its reception). It just keeps improving itself. And it's totally open-sourced.

4. Picture to 3D Instorier released a next-level picture to 3d tool. This is one of the most details and manipulable photo enhancing tools out there. What a demo.

Instorier is a storytelling tool from photos. This AI enhancement represents another big leap and shows how the convergence of 3D, Graphics & AI is leading to mind-blowing results. When focused products add AI, magic happens.

5. MIT: Math AI MIT researchers released a paper using AI to solve complex math problems much faster than they could have otherwise. The AI auto-discovers conservation laws from differential equations.

An MIT researcher spent 12 months to solve 12 quantities. The AI found 14 in less than a minute. As AI helps us speed up our understanding of basic science - math - the applied stuff will speed up as well. More exponential progress is on the horizon.

6. Google Starline Google has released a prototype of its 3D telepresence product. The new version uses breakthroughs in AI to render a 3D version of you to make people feel 'present' next to you. With just 2 unobtrusive cameras.

Thanks to AI, it's progressed very far from the giant booth you needed to use a while ago. This technology is going to enable people to feel more connected than ever to their loved one's. And one day, it will land up in Google Meet - to give Google a Zoom differentiator.

7. Nvidia Game AI Nvidia showcased how AI can power (non-player character) NPC characters life. It uses Audio-to-speech, AI-powered conversation (think ChatGPT with a voice), and advanced Nvidia graphics tech to create 'next gen' NPCs.

Best of all - it's completely FREE. Google Flood Hub is designed to help people who live near rivers and are aware of flooding threats. It gives them access to real-time data to stay safe. In places like Africa and India where resources are low, even government agencies use it.

9. ChatGPT in Court A lawyer used ChatGPT in court and didn't check the cases it cited. Several cases weren't real. ChatGPT made them up. The lawyer now faces sanctions for his actions. Source: @verge

The judge wrote a memo calling the circumstance "unprecedented." The lawyer's brief was filled with citations to non-existent cases. So, when called out, he went BACK to ChatGPT and ChatGPT doubled down with MORE FAKE QUOTES! Reality is stranger than fiction.

10. TIME: End of Humanity TIME Magazine joined the bandwagon of AI doomers and questioned if AI could advance so fast that it's become an existential risk. It published with this cover:

The magazine is worried about the exponential progress of AI. At some point, it may be hard for us to even keep up with what the AI is doing. At that point, it could do something seriously upstream of us noticing and cause human extinction.

11. Elon's Neuralink: FDA Approval Elon is trying to build a high bandwidth connection from the brain to AI. Our hands are limited to about 10 bits/ second. They're slow. Neuralink could speed that up by a million. The goal is to supercharge humanity via AI. Source: @WSJ

Neuralink's vision is to be able to restore vision even for people blind their whole lives. They've already achieved impressive results in animals. With the added capacity of human trials with FDA approval, the future is closer than ever. Blind people will be able to see.

12. Few Americans have used ChatGPT Alot A study by Pew Research found that only 18% of US adults have used ChatGPT a lot. And there was a huge disparity - only 11% of women. On the other hand, 42% of American adults haven't even TRIED ChatGPT.

Moreover, only 12% of Americans use ChatGPT for work. We're STILL very early. 88% of Americans have barely scratched their full potential at work with AI. But in 20 years, they all will.

13. Japan: No Copyright OK for AI This last one is special: you won't find it in ANY major news site. But Japan has affirmed the right of AI companies to train on ANY data. The controversy with Midjourney is it trained on copyrighted images. Japan's Midjourney need not fear.

Anime & video game creators are not on board with the decision. But Japan is making a big push to revive its sluggish innovation the last 15 years. The country aims to become a world-leader in AI. This decision will help Japanese AI companies get ahead.
