CONTENT

🤔 OpenAI secret tool revealed

Our Report: OpenAI has built a watermarking tool that can detect if a piece of text has been written by ChatGPT (with 99% accuracy)—designed to prevent students from cheating on their written assignments—but is refusing to release it due to internal conflicts.

🔑 Key Points:

• The tool adds a watermark (invisible to the human eye) to ChatGPT-generated text, which is picked up when run through an AI detector tool that scores the text on how likely it is that it was created with AI.

• It’s been ready for a year, but OpenAI is concerned that it could stigmatize AI writing tools for non-native English speakers and believes the watermarks could be easily removed, leaving it vulnerable to bad actors.

• They also worry that it will deter people from using ChatGPT—impacting its bottom line—as the results from a survey they ran revealed that 30% of ChatGPT users would use the tool less, if watermarking was implemented.

🤔 Why you should care: While there are multiple tools available, all designed to detect AI-generated content (Google is currently beta testing SynthID, a watermarking tool that can detect text created by its Gemini AI, for example), none have reported a 99% accuracy rate, meaning OpenAI’s tool could be the first reliable system for detecting AI-generated content (if only they would release it!).

PARTNERSHIPS

🔥 Top AI founders rejoin Google

Our Report: As part of a non-exclusive licensing agreement, Noam Shazeer and Daniel De Freitas—the two co-founders of A16z-backed start-up, Character.AI (which builds personalized, super-intelligent chatbots)—are re-joining Google’s DeepMind research team, after originally quitting in 2021, citing bureaucratic issues.

🔑 Key Points:

• As part of the agreement, 30 Character.AI employees will join Shazeer and De Freitas, leaving 140 staff to “continue to build the Character.AI product,” and Google will get a non-exclusive license to its tools.

• Shazeer and De Freitas signed the agreement to help fund Character.AI growth plans, which include devoting “even more resources to create new product experiences for our growing user base.”

• Google’s move reflects a growing industry trend, with many big tech firms forming agreements with startups and recruiting their staff, rather than completing a traditional acquisition, to prevent regulatory scrutiny.

🤔 Why you should care: While Google hopes this ‘acquihire’ agreement with Character.AI will prevent regulatory scrutiny, it's already facing an investigation by the UK competition watchdog for its partnership with AI start-up Anthropic.

AI HARDWARE

🚨 NVIDIA's AI Chip Delayed!

• NVIDIA is delaying the launch of its new, ‘next-generation’ AI chip (Blackwell B200) by three months (with mass shipments not expected until 2025), because of a design flaw found late in production.

• The B200 chips (which will replace the popular and hard-to-get H100 chips and will reportedly perform 30x better and reduce energy consumption by 25x) are being re-tested at a TSMC facility.

• The delay will disappoint Microsoft, Google, and Meta (who have ordered vast amounts) and is a blow to NVIDIA as they recently announced a strategy to release a new chip, every year, to keep up with competitors.
