💻Hello there, AI enthusiasts! 🤖 It's a brand new morning, 🌅 filled with endless possibilities in the realm of AI. 🦾 Buckle up as we unravel cutting-edge advancements and fascinating breakthroughs while covering the latest 🗞 with no shortage of creativity 🎨, wit 🤣, and art 🖼!

📰WHAT’S NEW!

  • The US has expanded export controls on AI chips from Nvidia and AMD to include some countries in the Middle East. The move is likely to be seen as a further escalation of the US-China tech war.

  • The restrictions are intended to prevent the chips from being used for military purposes. Nvidia and AMD have said that the controls will not have a significant impact on their revenue.

  • The move is likely to anger China, which is seeking to develop its own AI capabilities. It could also have a knock-on effect on other countries in the Middle East that rely on US technology.

  • Baidu has made its ChatGPT-equivalent language model, Ernie Bot, publicly available. This is a significant step for Baidu as it seeks to compete with U.S. AI firms in the generative AI market.

  • By releasing Ernie Bot publicly, Baidu will be able to collect massive real-world human feedback to improve the model. This is a key way for Baidu to stay ahead of the competition in the rapidly evolving AI space.

  • China has also made efforts in recent months to regulate the generative AI industry. This is likely to have a significant impact on how AI is developed and used in China in the future.

  • A quadcopter drone equipped with an AI brain has beaten human champions in 15 out of 25 drone races. This is the first time that an AI has beaten humans in a real-world competitive sport.

  • The drone still has some limitations, such as only working for the specific course it's been trained on and in a specific environment. However, it shows that AI is ready to make that jump from the virtual world into the real one.
