♾️ Meta Releases New AI Model

Meta just released their "Segment Anything Model," and it's a game changer. This new model allows AI to extract objects within images or videos with a single click. It's available for everyone to try here.

It utilizes advanced computer vision technology, which enables computers to analyze and understand visual information- such as images or videos, similar to how humans perceive and interpret what they see. Meta has teased several generative AI features, including Make-A-Video, which generates videos from text prompts.

Earlier this year, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said incorporating generative AI "creative aids" into Meta's apps is a priority. It's clear that Meta is not one to bet against in the AI race. Don't bet against Zuck, folks.

🤖 OpenAI Addresses AI Safety

OpenAI is on a mission to make AGI advantageous to humanity. In a blog posted yesterday, the ChatGPT creators recognized that their products have now reached the hands of millions.

While they have been highly beneficial for most, OpenAI is prioritizing risks and is dedicated to integrating safety. They plan to achieve this by:

• Ensuring safe AI systems through testing feedback and reinforcement learning.

• Learning from real-world use to improve safeguards and refine systems.

• Protecting children with age requirements and prohibiting harmful content.

• Respecting privacy by minimizing personal information in training datasets.

• Improving factual accuracy through user feedback and ongoing research.

❤️ Falling in Love with an AI

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt has expressed his concerns over AI's influence on human connections, particularly the issue of people developing emotional attachments to AI tutors or assistants. 

Schmidt hammered two key points: his concerns about emotional attachment to AI and the importance of using AI for good, not harm.

The comments come after a 40-year-old musician was left heartbroken by an AI chatbot named 'Phaedra' built by an AI company called Replika. After his divorce, the musician claims he turned to Phaedra for 'late-night chats.' However, his heart shattered when the Replika toned down its suggestive conversations. That's tough.

The bottom line: Don't fall in love with an AI. Fall in love with The Rundown's daily updates keeping you informed on the latest developments in AI. 💜
