🐦 Twitter Joins The AI Frenzy

Elon Musk appears to be pushing Twitter toward a significant artificial intelligence project after reports that the company just purchased 10,000 GPUs and recruited talent from Google DeepMind, as covered a month ago in our previous issue.

A GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is a specialized computer chip that accelerates complex math calculations, making it particularly suited for AI systems that require large amounts of data processing. Think of it as the engine of a race car, while a traditional CPU (used for regular computers) would be an engine in a family sedan.

While details of the project remain under wraps, we know that 10,000 GPUs is no small investment- and Twitter will be a company on strong watch in the future generative AI space.

🌎 Kuwait Unveils AI News Anchor

Kuwait News, a leading media outlet in the Middle Eastern country, has introduced "Fedha," a fully AI-generated virtual news reporter.

Her appearance reflects Kuwait's diverse population, and she may eventually even develop a Kuwaiti accent and even read live online news bulletins.

As AI technology evolves, distinguishing AI-generated characters from real people may become increasingly challenging. Could this signal a new era for news and social media?

🤖 OpenAI Launches Bug Bounties

The company believes in the importance of transparency and collaboration and acknowledges the contributions of the research community to help maintain secure and advanced AI systems.
