📰WHAT’S NEW!

💼OpenAI's Reckoning: Sam Altman's Resurgence and the Board Shake-up

• Sam Altman is set to return as the CEO of OpenAI, resolving a tumultuous period of uncertainty and internal dissent following his removal by the board. The agreement includes the formation of a new board, featuring notable figures from tech and business.

• Altman's reinstatement is expected to calm the upheaval within OpenAI, as employees had staged a revolt against his removal. The situation escalated with interim CEOs, rumors of Altman joining Microsoft, and looming resignations. The return of Altman signals a turning point in the high-profile corporate saga.

• The revamped OpenAI board will consist of three initial members—Bret Taylor, Larry Summers, and Adam D’Angelo. The changes aim to bring stability and transparency to the organization, although the specific reasons behind Altman's removal remain undisclosed.

• Amazon pledges to provide free AI skills training to 2 million people globally by 2025 through the newly announced "AI Ready" initiative. The initiative includes three key components: eight new and free AI and generative AI courses, a Generative AI Scholarship for high school and university students, and a collaboration with Code.org to educate students about generative AI.

• A recent AWS study underscores the strong demand for AI talent, with 73% of employers prioritizing the hiring of AI-skilled professionals. The study reveals that workers with AI skills can potentially earn up to 47% more in salaries, highlighting the economic value of AI expertise in the job market.

• Amazon announces a $12 million investment in generative AI scholarships, providing over 50,000 high school and university students from underserved communities with access to Udacity's Generative AI course. The scholarship aims to bridge the skills gap by offering hands-on training in foundational generative AI concepts, empowering students to showcase their knowledge through Udacity certificates.

⚖Navigating Legal Frontiers: Meta's Victory in Sarah Silverman's AI Lawsuit

• A federal judge dismisses the majority of Sarah Silverman's lawsuit against Meta over the unauthorized use of copyrighted books in training its generative AI model.

• The ruling rejects the core theory that Meta's AI system is an infringing derivative work and questions the argument that every output produced by Meta's AI tools constitutes copyright infringement.

• Dismissed claims include unjust enrichment and violation of competition laws, found to be preempted by the surviving claim for copyright infringement. Meta is yet to comment on the decision.

🔨AI Ethics in the Courtroom: Attorney Faces Year-long Suspension

• Colorado lawyer Zachariah Crabill faces a one-year suspension for utilizing an AI chatbot, ChatGPT, to draft a legal motion, resulting in the production of incorrect and fictitious case law. Crabill failed to alert the court to the inaccuracies and attributed mistakes to a legal intern when questioned by the judge.

• The Colorado Bar Association imposes a one-year suspension on attorney Zachariah Crabill for violating professional conduct rules. Crabill's use of an AI platform to draft a legal document, coupled with his failure to address inaccuracies, leads to the suspension. Successful completion of a 90-day suspension and two years of probation could result in forgiveness of the remaining suspension period.

📈Nvidia Hits New Heights: Record Q3 Revenue Fueled by AI and Generative Tech

• Nvidia reports a record-breaking third-quarter revenue of $18.12 billion, attributing the success to a 12-month growth trend, with earnings increasing by 34% over the last quarter and 206% over Q3 2022.

• CEO Jensen Huang highlights the role of artificial intelligence (AI) hardware sales, emphasizing the company's focus on accelerated computing and generative AI.

• Despite the stellar performance, Nvidia faces challenges with a partial ban on chip exports, including to China, which accounts for 20%–25% of the company's data center revenue.

• The company's CFO, Colette Kress, anticipates a significant decline in business in China in the fourth quarter due to the export ban but expresses confidence in offsetting losses through robust growth in other regions.

🏆MIT Ignite Sparks Innovation: Generative AI Startups Tackle Global Challenges

• Over 100 teams from MIT submit startup proposals leveraging generative AI for solutions in human health, climate change, education, and workforce dynamics.

• Twelve finalists, spanning diverse applications, present their ideas in the competition, aiming for MIT Ignite Flagship Prizes and recognition in the emerging field of generative AI entrepreneurship.

• The event, co-organized by the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab and the Martin Trust Center, aligns with MIT's broader focus on generative AI, encouraging young researchers to contribute and innovate for societal benefit.

• MIT Ignite Flagship Prizes, runner-up prizes, and special recognitions are awarded to startups streamlining drug discovery, enhancing code security, improving AI model training datasets, accelerating dementia clinical trials, and fostering collaboration in scientific research.
