💻Hello there, AI fans! 🤖 Let’s jump right into the latest 🗞 in the world of artificial intelligence! Find a comfortable seat 🪑 and prepare for a healthy dose of updates delivered with no shortage of creativity, art 🖼, and wit 😂!

📰WHAT’S NEW!

🦅AI Safety and Ethics: A Top Priority for Tech and Lawmakers

• Tech executives urge lawmakers to keep AI under the control of people and establish an emergency brake to ensure such systems can’t cause harm to humans.

• Microsoft President Brad Smith testified that a “safety brake” is specifically needed for AI systems that manage critical infrastructure like power grids and water systems.

• Nvidia's chief scientist and senior vice president William Dally also told senators that “keeping a human in the loop” is critical to ensure the robots don’t run amok.

• Tech executives and lawmakers are working together to develop safeguards to ensure that AI is used safely and ethically, including the creation of an independent oversight body and transparency requirements. This is an important union to provide the framework for a safe future with AI.

📝California Governor Gavin Newsom Signs Executive Order on Generative AI

• California Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order to study the uses, procurement, and development of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) by California state agencies and employees.

• While the EO is currently only applicable to the state government’s use of GenAI, California companies should expect the guidelines and studies produced as a result of the EO to be used as a basis for future rules and regulations impacting the use of AI in the private sector.

• C3.ai CEO Thomas Siebel praised the executive order, calling it "cogent, thoughtful, concise, productive and really extraordinarily positive public policy." Siebel warned that AI could be used to ration healthcare, score social media users, and evaluate people for flights, insurance, voting, and college admission.

🎶Drake, AI Music, and the Grammys: A Complex Issue and What’s Next

• Taking the world by storm, the AI Drake song “Heart on My Sleeve” went viral five months ago. This was the first musical use of AI that breached the pop culture in such a significant manner.

• The song song written and produced by TikTok user ghostwriter977, was created by the user, except the written lyrics were written in Drake’s style and an AI software was used to replicate his voice.

• The Recording Academy has clarified that the AI Drake song is not eligible for a Grammy award. This is because the vocals in the song were not legally obtained or cleared by the label or the artists.

• The Academy says that it is here to support and advocate for human artists and human creators. They are taking a strong stance that sets a precedent for AI usage in music going forward.

💊Microsoft AI Framework Generates Proteins Without Structural Information

• Microsoft has developed a new AI framework called EvoDiff that can generate high-fidelity proteins without requiring any structural information about the target protein.

• EvoDiff is a diffusion model that learns how to gradually subtract noise from a starting protein made almost entirely of noise, moving it closer to a protein sequence.

• EvoDiff is still under development, but it has the potential to revolutionize the field of protein engineering. By making it possible to design proteins without requiring any structural information, EvoDiff could make it much faster and easier to develop new drugs and therapeutics.
