NEWS
LinkedIn is finally dipping its toe into the AI game...or should we say, diving in head first!
It's sporting AI-fueled tools for recruiting, learning, marketing, and sales, courtesy of OpenAI and Microsoft tech.
Recruiter 2024 lets recruitment pros search in plain-talk to find top candidates. There's also an AI-driven "learning coach" dishing out career advice.
Marketers area also getting some new toys in the form of "Accelerate" for streamlined campaigns. And B2B sellers? They score an AI tool to pinpoint leads.
Since Microsoft owns about 49% of OpenAI, they're playing a big role here as well. Regardless of who's behind it, we're thrilled to see LinkedIn taking these steps to help foster innovation.
NEWS
Today, Google announced that their Pixel phones are getting a huge AI boost. The Pixel 8 series, launching early this month, is boasting enhanced all sorts of stuff, like auto-captioning photos.
Rick Osterloh, Google's SVP, sums it up: Having “AI in your hand.”
One big piece of news? They're blending Google Assistant with the new AI chatbot, Bard. But it's only coming to a select few in the beginning.
Unfortunately, there's usually a trade-off to new functionality, and this one is in the form of a price bump. Customers are looking at $700 for the Pixel 8 and $1,000 for the Pixel 8 Pro.
All that being said, Pixels arguably still lag behind Apple and Samsung in the phone department. Though of course, with Google's ad-driven deep pockets, it's just a side gig.
📰 OTHER HEADLINES & STORIES
🔥HOT AI STARTUP
Overview:
Humane is an AI-company focused on “building innovative technology that feels familiar, natural, and human”. While most companies centered around AI focus on leveling up the tech for industry-use, Humane is trying to build products that “put us back in touch with ourselves and each other”.
Backed by Sam Altman, the company was founded by Imran Chaudhri and Bethany Bongiorno
What They Offer:
At the center of the hype around Humane is their “Ai Pin”, a wearable piece of technology that’s built from the ground up for AI. They just unveiled it in collaboration with Paris-based fashion house Coperni at Paris Fashion Week.
The device was showcased to highlight its wearability and the fusion of humans with AI. As they put it, it’s focused primarily on the power of design, creativity, and technology as a force for cultural change.
The Challenge They Tackle:
More often than not, AI is associated with technological prowess and innovation only. In other words, it’s not about the aesthetics, but more so how the tech itself augments functionality of a given endeavor.
Humane is one of the first companies to combine aesthetics with functionality in such an overt manner. Specifics about their premiere product will be revealed in November, so we’ll get to see all the juicy deets of where this inventive spin on AI-tech will take us.
