What’s happening in AI -

Meet the $10,000 Nvidia chip powering the race for A.I.

The Nvidia A100 has become a critical tool in the artificial intelligence industry, with the chip being used to power machine learning models for companies like Microsoft and Google, as well as AI startups like Stable Diffusion and OpenAI.

It is ideally suited for machine learning models as it is able to perform many simple calculations simultaneously, which is important for training and using neural network models. Hundreds or even thousands of Nvidia’s chips are required to train and use artificial intelligence models, meaning that companies need access to a lot of A100s.

Nvidia’s AI chip business, reported as data centers, rose by 11% to more than $3.6 billion in sales during the fiscal fourth quarter, showing continued growth.

An AI-Illustrated comic has lost a key copyright case.

Kris Kashtanova attempted to copyright their comic book Zarya of the Dawn, which features AI-generated art created with the Midjourney tool. The US Copyright Office initially granted the copyright, but later put the book under review when Kashtanova claimed authorship of the AI-generated images.

The Copyright Office ultimately ruled that Kashtanova is the author of the text and arrangement of visual elements, but not the art itself. Despite this, Kashtanova plans to continue pursuing copyright.

The use of AI-generated art raises questions about ownership and consent, particularly as the images are often created using scraped works from other artists.

Microsoft has been secretly testing its Bing chatbot ‘Sydney’ for years.

Microsoft's new Bing chatbot AI, known as Sydney, has been in development for several years and was first tested in India in late 2020. The initial chatbots used machine reading comprehension that was not as powerful as what exists in OpenAI's GPT models today.

However, in 2021, Microsoft integrated OpenAI's next-generation GPT model into its Bing search product to provide more accurate and complete search results for any query, including long, complex, natural queries. Despite early issues with rude responses, Microsoft is continuing to work on improving the chatbot's personality and conversational abilities.
