NEWS
Meta's got a brand new toy for everyone,.
Introducing: SeamlessM4T, an AI poised to change the translation game.
It can transcribe and translate nearly 100 languages, bridging many linguistic gaps. Stemming from past efforts like "No Language Left Behind", it's a leap forward, thanks to billions of sentences and 4 million hours of speech data.
But it's not without controversy, especially around using public data. While powerful, the model still grapples with biases like gender and toxicity.
Meta's implemented filters for these, but they acknowledge there's room for improvement. They especially advise caution for legal or medical translations.
In essence, while SeamlessM4T's making strides in breaking language barriers, human oversight remains crucial.
NEWS
The New York Times has had enough.
It's finally saying "No Entry" to OpenAI's GPTBot. This web crawler, which sniffs out content for AI training, officially got the boot from NYT's robots.txt page earlier this month.
This change followed an update to NYT's terms, slamming the door on using their content for AI model training. So far, there's been no comment from NYT's Charlie Stadtlander or OpenAI.
But the plot thickens! The newspaper may also be gearing up for a legal face-off, echoing accusations like copyright infringement and software piracy.
If NYT takes this to court, they'll join the likes of Sarah Silverman and others who've had beef with OpenAI.
The drama's on and the popcorn is ready. 🍿

💡AI CAREER INSIGHT
These days, it seems like everyone has an opinion about the transition from the modern-day workforce to the Age of AI.
Well, today's take comes from human resources-expert John C. Taylor.
Let's start with the bad news: 23% of U.S. peeps are sweating over job-stealing robots within the next 5 years.
Luckily though, AI might be responsible for making some jobs, not just taking them! And let's not forget, any job involving human connection will be here for the long haul.
John also suggests to always be learning, and especially to embrace the "robot invasion". After all, the only constant is change. 🧘♂️
