GLOBAL LEGISLATION

Our Report: A doctored phone message that used AI to impersonate President Bidenā€™s voice told New Hampshire residents not to attend the Democratic presidential candidate polls on Tuesday.

šŸ”‘Ā Key Points:Ā 

  • The fake audio phone message (which included familiar Biden phrases such as ā€œWhat a bunch of malarkeyā€) was circulated to multiple voters in New Hampshire, telling them to ā€œsave their vote for the November election.ā€Ā 

  • The call came from the personal cellphone number of Kathy Sullivanā€“the former Democratic party chairā€“and she alerted the authorities, stating it was an ā€œoutright election interference, and an attempt to harass me and other New Hampshire voters.ā€

  • Itā€™s unknown how many people received the call, but a spokesperson for Sullivan claimed it was at least a dozen, and those who received it are being urged to email the election law unit.

  • Although itā€™s not known who made these calls, a representative of Dean Phillips (who is challenging Biden for the presidential candidate role) confirmed that Phillipā€™s team wasnā€™t involved, and The Trump campaign also confirmed it had nothing to do with it.

šŸ¤ØĀ Why you should care: Advancements in AI technology are being progressively used in campaigns to unlawfully suppress voters and influence public opinion in elections across the globe.

AI VOICE

  • Gmail has announced voice-activated prompt support (yet to be released), allowing users to converse within the application. Now, using generative AI, users can say ā€œHelp me writeā€¦ā€ rather than manually typing out the same sentence.

  • Itā€™s currently in beta (available on the Gmail mobile app) and includes a ā€œDraft email with voiceā€ option that allows users to record a voice prompt, which is then converted into a draft email that users can edit.

  • This latest development is part of Googleā€™s ongoing campaign to include more AI-powered features in its tool stack, which already includes ā€˜Google Duet AIā€™ (an AI writing assistant) and ā€˜Circle to Searchā€™ (available on new Pixel phones & the S24 range).

AUTOMOTIVE
  • To reduce the amount of time drivers spend looking at their phones or in-car screens while driving, Google is introducing a new version of ā€˜Android Autoā€™ which will use AI to simplify long texts and chats, making them easier to understand.

  • AI-powered suggestions and replies (eg. drivers will be able to send their ETA based on their Google Maps route) will make it easier for drivers to respond and take actionā€”without using their phonesā€”while on the road.

  • ā€˜Android Autoā€™ is compatible with most major car brands, and car manufacturers including Volvo and Polestar currently utilize it to power their in-car infotainment systems (with Nissan, Ford, and Porsche expected to integrate it this year).

AI HARDWARE
  • AMD began shipping its Instinct MI300-series products (currently being used by Google, Meta, and Microsoft), which notably outperforms NIVIDIā€™s rival AI chip (the H200), marking an important milestone for AMD.

  • According to one of AMDā€™s largest customers (LaminiAI), customers have started receiving their new MI300X AI chips, whilst NVIDIAā€™s competitor chipā€”the H200ā€”is yet to hit the market.

  • LaminiAI has developed a partnership with AMD and has priority access to AMDā€™s AI hardware, using it to run LLMs for enterprises. Furthermore, AMD expects the MI300 series to be the first product in sales history to make $1B in sales.

AI HARDWARE
  • China imported $40B worth of AI semiconductor equipment and machinery in 2023 (despite US sanctions), with imports in June and July alone worth $5Bā€”a 14% increase from 2022.

  • In December, they began importing semiconductor equipment from the Netherlands (home to major semiconductor equipment manufacturers, such as ASML) with importations increasing by 1,000%, compared to 2022.

  • Chinese imports, in general, have fallen by 5% from 2022, so this influx in AI hardware imports indicates Chinaā€™s dedication to achieving chip self-sufficiency, but it also highlights that they still need help from Western countries.
