APPLE

🍎 Apple enters the AI frenzy with ‘Apple GPT‘

The Rundown: Apple is (finally) entering the AI arena with its own artificial intelligence tools, including a conversational AI chatbot named "Apple GPT," to compete with leading AI chatbots.

Key points:

• Apple has developed a framework called "Ajax" and has deployed a chatbot dubbed “Apple GPT” within internal systems

• Apple GPT will compete directly against leading AI chatbots such as ChatGPT and Bard

• A consumer product is aimed for next year

Why it matters: Apple is quite far behind the competition, but they have the software, hardware, and pre-existing ecosystem to be a massive competitor to existing chatbots.

The real question: will Siri finally turn into the JARVIS that it was inspired by?

OPENAI

🧠 Study shows ChatGPT has gotten ‘dumber‘

The Rundown: A recent Stanford and UC Berkeley study found that GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 has worsened in quality since March 2023.

GPT-4 comparisons from March to June 2023:

• Finding prime numbers: down from 98% to 2.4%

• Writing good code: down from 52% to 10%

• Chain of thought reasoning: significantly more mistakes

Potential reasons:

• OpenAI may be prioritizing speed and cost savings over the quality

• The model could be learning from less accurate user inputs over time

• For safety reasons, the model might be designed to say 'no' to more questions

Noteworthy: The true root cause of ChatGPT getting “dumber“ remains unclear. The OpenAI team is now looking into the reports that users have shared from the comments of the many viral posts on Twitter yesterday.

UNITED KINGDOM MI6

🕵️ British spies use AI to disrupt Russia’s shipments

The Rundown: UK's MI6 is using AI to disrupt the supply of critical weapons to Russia, according to MI6 Chief Richard Moore.

Key Points:

• MI6 is using AI to enhance human judgment in global intelligence

• AI is an asset that makes information “infinitely more accessible”

• UK and its allies are pushing to master the ethical and safe use of AI

• Moore maintained that AI wouldn't replace human agents, despite its increasing influence on global intelligence

Noteworthy: Aside from MI6, numerous intelligence agencies, including the CIA and FBI in the US, are exploring how to use AI in their operations.
