NEWS
Another week, another massive AI event!
Zuckerberg’s kickstarting the Meta Connect conference, eyeing AI and VR. It looks like the Quest 3 headset is in the spotlight, amidst the TikTok face-off.
Otherwise, it's all about engagement around chatbots and AI personalization. Despite job cuts and a “year of efficiency,” tech talent is still on the radar.
One thing is clear: AI is the heartbeat of Meta’s vision, with Llama 2 at the center of it. Given that it's been overshadowed by ChatGPT, Meta is playing catch-up in the generative AI arena.
NEWS
The CIA is developing an AI tool akin to ChatGPT, aiming to filter through vast amounts of public information.
The alleged goal? It's looking to outpace China in the AI race by 2030.
This tool, exclusive to US intelligence, isn’t for public or, even policymakers' eyes! Instead, it’s centered around harnessing data and finding those insightful needles in the haystack for CIA officials.
Integration of chat features marks a logical step for swift intelligence distribution. And of course, this news comes with concerns around data protection and privacy.
Regardless, every US intel agency is set to benefit, stepping into a new era of intelligence.
