• Stack Overflow bans users en masse for rebelling against OpenAI partnership — users banned for deleting answers to prevent them being used to train ChatGPT - Stack Overflow, a legendary internet forum for programmers and developers, is coming under heavy fire from its users after it announced it was partnering with OpenAI to scrub the site's forum posts to train ChatGPT. Many users are removing or editing their questions and answers to prevent them from being used to train AI — decisions which have been punished with bans from the site's moderators.

• Microsoft’s ‘air gapped’ AI is a bot set up to process top-secret info - Microsoft announced that it’s deployed a GPT-4 large language model in an isolated, air-gapped environment on a government-only network. The Azure Government Top Secret cloud-hosted model represents the first time a “major” LLM has operated separated from the internet. It has not been accredited for top-secret use, so the Pentagon and other government departments aren’t actually using it yet.

• Explainer-What risks do advanced AI models pose in the wrong hands? - Government and private sector researchers worry U.S. adversaries could use the models, which mine vast amounts of text and images to summarize information and generate content, to wage aggressive cyber attacks or even create potent biological weapons.

• UK fintech raises £800M for AI that determines how much money you can borrow - Abound is a lending platform that uses AI to determine loan amounts. Dubbed Render, Abound’s AI analyses customers’ full bank transaction data (from income to spending details) to understand their individual financial situation — unlike traditional credit checks. Render then calculates the amount of money customers are able to pay back each month. The startup is also offering its AI credit platform to banks and lenders across Europe.

• TikTok to automatically label AI-generated content - TikTok takes a proactive step in assuring AI authenticity on its platform by automatically labeling AI-generated content (AIGC) using new Content Credentials technology which attaches metadata to content that the platform can use to instantly recognize and label AIGC. It will also implement auto-labeling on AI-generated content created using other platforms.

• Taoping Launches New Enhanced AI-Powered Smart Terminal - Taoping's new AI-powered smart terminals feature advanced video displays that enhance user interaction through swift data collection and analysis.

The move will reinforce SoundHound’s AI product as the most advanced voice assistant available on the market today.

• Starknet to bring on AI agents that can carry out on-chain activity - Ethereum layer-2 blockchain Starknet will soon allow artificial intelligence (AI) agents on its blockchain that can autonomously perform on-chain activities for users, such as optimizing yield and re-allocating portfolios. Giza — a firm aiming to bring AI to blockchains — AI agents would be deployed on Starknet by the end of June, with other chains to follow.

• Retell AI lets companies build ‘voice agents’ to answer phone calls - Retell AI, which provides a platform companies can use to create AI-powered “voice agents” that answer customer phone calls and perform basic tasks such as scheduling appointments. “Companies with heavy call center operations, looking to scale quickly without the constraints of human contact center agents, are highly receptive to adopting effective AI voice agent solutions,” entrepreneur Evie Wang said. “This approach not only reduces their overall costs but also decreases wait times.”

• ServiceNow unveils new AI-powered capabilities to help improve employee experiences, supercharge talent development, and optimize in-person work - ServiceNow has introduced new AI-powered features aimed at enhancing employee experiences, accelerating talent development, and optimizing in-person work.

Mike Anderson, a lead contributor, highlights the importance of decentralizing AI development to prevent power consolidation among the few.

• Quantum Computing May Boost AI Capabilities - Quantum computers harness quantum mechanics principles to perform complex calculations. They could turbocharge AI systems’ processing power by leveraging quantum bits (qubits) properties like superposition and entanglement. This quantum-AI synergy could tackle computationally-intensive tasks beyond classical computers’ reach, potentially helping to power breakthroughs in medicine, materials science, financial modeling and cryptography.

• New AI Agents May Soon Blur the Line Between Humans and Machines - Altera is developing AI agents that draw inspiration from neuroscience and a comprehensive understanding of brain functions. "We intend to fundamentally change how humans and computers interact, starting with friends that can play any game with you,” Yang said. “The current paradigm of turn-based prompting AI will not last long. The end state for AI is the creation of agents that can coordinate and autonomously accomplish tasks over long durations.”
