FACT OF THE DAY

🤔 Statistics show that AI is replacing jobs, but the World Economic Forum has actually predicted that 97M new jobs will be created by 2025 because of AI technology.

STOCK MARKETS

✂️ Tech and AI stocks bounced back during Tuesday’s trading session with the Nasdaq rising 1.49%. This move is fuelled by the interest rate cuts, anticipated to continue into the year-end. NVIDIA outperformed the broader market breaking the $130 area, highlighted in the breakdown of last week’s movements. Learn more.

ELECTRIC VEHICLES

🚗 Uber drivers get AI support!

Our Report: During its ‘Go-Get’ event in London, Uber announced that early next year, it will launch an AI assistant—powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4o—for Uber drivers in the US (with plans to expand internationally, later in the year) to help them transition to Electric Vehicles (EVs)

🔑 Key Points:

• Drivers will be able to access the AI assistant (which will be continuously updated with new information) from the home screen of the Uber driver app, allowing them to communicate via text, initially.

• The AI assistant will give drivers tailored answers about EVs—based on their location and local government incentives—such as where to find charging stations, how to access incentives, and which EV to consider.

• In addition to text-based interactions, Uber aims to broaden its capabilities by 2025, enabling two-way verbal communication between the assistant and driver, providing a safer experience.

🤔 Why you should care: Uber CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, understands that “going electric is a big decision, and drivers have lots of questions,” and believes the AI assistant will provide comprehensive answers to “every EV question under the sun,” making it easier for them to switch to electric, bolstering Ubers aim to become a zero-emissions ride-sharing service by 2040.

AWARDS

🎖️ AI pioneers receive Nobel (but issue warning)

Our Report: The “Godfather of AI”—Geoffrey Hinton—and fellow scientist, Princeton University professor—John Hopfield—have been awarded the Nobel-Prize in Physics (one of the most prestigious awards in the world, created by Alfred Nobel, who invented dynamite) for their early, groundbreaking work in AI which laid “the foundation for AI,” marking a major milestone for the rapidly developing field.

🔑 Key Points:

• They were awarded for their discovery and development (in the ‘80s) of artificial neural networks—that mimic how the brain processes information—which now power things like facial recognition and disease diagnosis.

• Hopfield created an artificial neural network that stored/recreated patterns, and Hinton expanded it to develop the Boltzmann machine, which classified images and generated new ones based on learned patterns.

• During the ceremony, a “flabbergasted” Hinton was “extremely surprised” and “honored to be included,” as he emphasized the potential of AI in areas like healthcare and productivity, although he did urge caution.

🤔 Why you should care: Despite all his work to advance AI, Hinton has openly expressed his concerns about AI and recently said that “a part of him ... now regrets” his work, as unlike previous technological advancements, AI has the potential to surpass human intelligence, which we have no precedent for: “We don’t know what it’s like to have things smarter than us…we have to worry about possible bad consequences, particularly the threat of these things getting out of control.”

CREATIVE

🖼️ Adobe shields creators from AI

• Adobe is launching a ‘Content Authenticity’ app that allows creatives to apply ‘content credentials’ to their work to protect themselves and make it easier for people to identify what is/isn’t AI.

• It also gives creators a quicker and easier way to opt all of their work out of AI training, as currently, they have to submit individual opt-outs and protections for each piece of content they produce.

• It will integrate with any creative platform that supports ‘Content Credentials,’ and enables creatives to apply their credentials to any image, video, and audio file, not just those made with Adobe apps.

📰 OpenAI inks another major content deal 

• OpenAI has inked a content licensing deal with Hearst Communications—which owns 24 daily newspapers, 175 websites, and over 200 global magazines, making this one of OpenAI’s biggest media partnerships.

• Hearst will license content from publications like Esquire, Cosmopolitan, Elle, and 40 newspapers for OpenAI to train its AI models, which will then give ChatGPT users access to its content.

• This follows similar content licensing deals OpenAI has struck with other publications—including Axel Springer, Le Monde, and News Corp—in its effort to prevent any further copyright and exploitation of IP lawsuits.
