FACT OF THE DAY

🤔 Although 52% of telecommunications organizations utilize chatbots (Gartner), according to Accenture, just 7% of the population trust chatbots with sensitive/conflict-driven issues, a huge difference from the 49% that trust human advisors.

STOCK MARKETS

🍟 OpenAI is collaborating with AMD to utilize its new MI300X chips through Microsoft’s Azure, with AMD predicting $4.5B in AI chip sales for 2024 following the release of this new chip in Q4 of 2023. Despite the collaboration, AMD is down 7% in after-hours trading, erasing the gains. Learn more.

CODING

👩‍💻 AI makes 25% of Google’s code

Our Report: During its third-quarter earnings meeting, Google revealed that over 25% of its new code is generated by AI. 

🔑 Key Points:

• While Google CEO, Sundar Pichai, confirmed that “more than a quarter of all code is generated by AI,” he also emphasized that human engineers still review and approve all machine-created code.

• This move accelerates coding practices because it lets AI handle the routine, everyday code while allowing Google developers to work faster, giving them time to focus on the bigger, more complex tasks.

• According to Pichai, this AI coding assistance is part of a broader strategy within Google to streamline operations, improve efficiency, accelerate innovation, and maximize returns across all its divisions.

🤔 Why you should care: During the same earnings meeting, Google reported $88.3B in revenue for the quarter, with Google Search (which includes AI overviews) making $76.5B (up by 13% YoY) and Google Cloud (which provides AI infrastructure for other companies) making $11.4B (up by 35% YoY), and with a projected $12B quarterly spend allocated to AI data centers, Google is clearly committing to further AI expansion.

AI HARDWARE

🍟 Inside OpenAI’s in-house AI chip plans

Our Report: Following rumors, back in June that OpenAI was in talks with several AI chip designers about designing and developing its own AI chip, sources say that OpenAI has chosen to work with AI chip manufacturers—Broadcom and TSMC—to develop its new, custom-designed AI chips, made to handle its large AI workloads.

🔑 Key Points:

• Although discussions are still in their early stages, OpenAI has been planning this custom chip for about a year and has built a 20-strong chip development team, which includes several lead ex-Google engineers.

• OpenAI wants to develop a chip to run its AI platforms and respond to user requests (called inference), which investors expect the demand for will grow, as tech companies start using AI models for more complex tasks.

• Sources say the in-house AI chip will not start production until 2026, so OpenAI is using AMD chips, alongside NVIDIA’s, as it tries to reduce reliance on NIVIDA after chip shortages, delays, and high costs.

🤔 Why you should care: OpenAI was also reportedly planning to set up a network of chip factories, but these plans have been put on ice, while it prioritizes developing its own chip, in-house, although it will have stiff competition from its rivals—especially Google, Microsoft, and Amazon—as they are already well on the road to developing their custom chips, so may need to raise even more record-breaking funding to compete.

FUNDING

⬆️ Musks xAI $16B jump (in 5 months)

• After raising $6B earlier this year, Elon Musk’s start-up, xAI, is entering into another funding round—which has valued the company at $40B—as it tries to keep up with the likes of OpenAI (valued at $157B).

• This new funding round marks a $16B increase in value for xAI, which it’s managed to achieve in just 5 months after previously being valued at $24B during its $6B funding round in July.

• xAI’s last funding round was backed by top industry investors such as a16z and Sequoia Capital, as Musk continues his mission to develop safe, robust, advanced AGI (Artificial General Intelligence).

POLITICS

🚫 US blocks China AI investors

• The US is finalizing rules to stop US citizens from investing in the development of AI hardware and infrastructure in China, to prevent China from accessing the USA’s cutting-edge expertise and equipment.

• The rules will take effect from January 2nd and will stop specific transactions in semiconductors, microelectronics, and AI, and impose mandatory reporting requirements for transactions that aren’t banned.

• These rules are “targeted and concrete measures to ensure that US investors are not exploited to advance the development of key technologies by those who may use them to threaten our national security.”
