Before we jump into the headlines, we’d appreciate it if you took a couple of seconds to let us know what kind of content you’d like to see from us:

Today’s Headlines:

• Anthropic unveils Claude 3, surpassing GPT-4 and Gemini Ultra in benchmark tests - Anthropic unveiled its Claude 3 series of AI models today; The lineup includes three models: Opus, Sonnet, and the upcoming Haiku. Opus, which Anthropic claims is more capable than OpenAI and Google, "is capable of the widest range of tasks and performs them exceptionally well”.

• Google trims jobs in trust and safety while others work ‘around the clock’ - Google is laying off a handful of employees on its trust and safety team as part of broader staff cuts, even as it’s asking members of that group to be on standby over the weekend in order to troubleshoot problematic outputs related to its flagship generative artificial intelligence (AI) tool, Gemini.

• AI worm infects users via AI-enabled email clients — Morris II generative AI worm steals confidential data as it spreads - A group of researchers created a first-generation AI worm that can steal data, spread malware, spam others via an email client, and spread through multiple systems. This worm targets AI apps and AI-enabled email assistants that generate text and images using models like Gemini Pro, ChatGPT 4.0, and LLaVA.

• TurboTax and H&R Block now use AI for tax advice. It’s awful - In testing, these new chatbots in popular tax services were unhelpful or wrong as much as half of the time. The good news is that you can completely ignore the chatbots and still do your taxes.

• Why AI could boost the economy faster than past technologies - If that assessment, made by a top Federal Reserve official and other thinkers at a high-profile conference Friday, proves correct, it would mean higher growth, rising incomes, less inflation — even as there's churn in the labor market as some tasks become automated.

• Mistral AI models now available on Amazon Bedrock - To get started with Mistral AI models in Amazon Bedrock, first you need to get access to the models. On the Amazon Bedrock console, select Model access, and then select Manage model access. Next, select Mistral AI models, and then select Request model access.

• Over 100 Malicious AI/ML Models Found on Hugging Face Platform - "The model's payload grants the attacker a shell on the compromised machine, enabling them to gain full control over victims' machines through what is commonly referred to as a 'backdoor,'" senior security researcher David Cohen said.

• AI-powered radio stations hit Nashville airwaves - “It’s making the creation of radio experiences so much faster and more efficient, that we can actually take the time to invest in these really localized interesting formats, like the ones that we’ve launched in Nashville,” said Super Hi-Fi CEO Zack Zalon. Zalon’s company has partnered with Xperi and Cumulus Media to broadcast two HD radio stations on 104.5FM HD2 and HD3: “The Hill” and “Nashville Songwriter Radio.”

• AI tool predicts kidney failure six times faster than human expert analysts - The tool provides an accurate and super-fast analysis of total kidney volume, a measurement used to assess future kidney lifespan in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), a common inherited kidney condition caused by the growth of fluid-filled sacs in the kidneys.

• Meta AI creates ahistorical images, like Google Gemini - Meta's Imagine AI image generator makes the same kind of historical gaffes that caused Google to stop all generation of images of humans in its Gemini chatbot two weeks ago. AI makers are trying to counter biases and stereotyping in the data they used to train their models by turning up the "diversity" dial — but they're over-correcting and producing problematic results.

• India reverses AI stance, requires government approval for model launches - India's Deputy IT Minister says AI advisory, which requires firms to comply with 'immediate effect,' is 'signaling that this is the future of regulation'.

• Women In AI: Francine Bennett uses data science to make AI more responsible - Francine Bennett is a founding member of the board at the Ada Lovelace Institute and currently serves as the organization’s interim Director. Prior to this, she worked in biotech, using AI to find medical treatments for rare diseases. She also co-founded a data science consultancy and is a founding trustee of DataKind UK, which helps British charities with data science support.

• Purdue University offers 2 new online masters degrees in AI - The degrees are designed for people who build AI systems (scientists and technologists) and for people who use them - AI Translators (business leaders and policymakers).

• China Offers ‘Computing Vouchers’ to Small AI Startups - China is reportedly taking measures to help its rising AI startups compete with tech giants by offering “computing vouchers” for startups to help them pay for increasing data center costs amid a shortage of the type of chips that are vital to the AI sector.

• OpenAI signs open letter to build AI responsibly just days after Elon Musk sued the company for putting profit ahead of people - OpenAI, Salesforce Inc. and other tech companies signed an open letter highlighting a “collective responsibility” to “maximize AI’s benefits and mitigate the risks” to society, in the tech industry’s latest effort to call for building artificial intelligence responsibly.
