TODAY IN AI

AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton awarded Nobel Prize: And the Nobel Prize in physics goes to…the Godfather of AI? The Nobel committee recognized Geoffrey Hinton and his colleague John Hopfield for borrowing “tools from physics to develop methods that are the foundation of today’s powerful machine learning.” AI models can pick up on patterns in vast data sets and even form “memories” thanks to the pair’s groundbreaking work. Hinton has gone on to become one of the world’s leading AI skeptics, warning of potential job loss and the risks of AGI.

Nvidia teams up with SETI in search for extraterrestrial life: Nvidia wants to believe. The SETI Institute is using the chip giant’s Holoscan technology to search for life beyond Earth. The AI-powered platform can analyze faint radio signals in real time and detect ones that could be signs of extraterrestrial life. Director of SETI Research Andrew Siemion called the tool a “magic wand” that could bring “a profound change in how astronomy is done” across more than a dozen telescope sites.

Databricks unveils new app builder for developers: AI analytics startup Databricks just launched a game-changer: A tool that lets developers quickly build and deploy data and AI apps within their existing setup. Using popular frameworks like Streamlit and Dash, teams can create everything from interactive dashboards to AI-powered prediction tools — all without wrestling with infrastructure. The apps are automatically secure, governed by existing data rules, and easily shareable.

PRESENTED BY AE STUDIO

The agency building million-user apps and AI-powered tools

Millions of users, one live event, and an app that just...works.

That's what AE Studio pulled off for Eurovision Latinoamérica. They said, "Build us an app for millions of live users." We said, "Hold our coffee." ☕

Here's the thing: Killer apps aren't just about code. They're about getting inside users' heads and designing experiences that delight.

That's where we shine. 👋 We turn "Wouldn't it be cool if..." into "Oh, it actually exists!"

Got a wild idea? Need a wild idea? Either way, we're your people. Let's chat and cook up some digital magic.

THE AI ACADEMY

How to analyze videos using AI Studio

• Go to AI Studio and select Gemini 1.5 Flash 002 as your model from the list.

• Now upload your video and use the prompt:

'Analyze this video, provide the script, and give 5 suitable titles'

• Wait for a few seconds and you are done.

• You can further ask it to give you a summary or brief idea in bullet points.

• You can also ask for improvements and suggestions in your video content.

FROM THE FRONTIER

OpenAI could soon become less reliant on Microsoft

Microsoft and OpenAI’s partnership just got a lot more complicated. The ChatGPT-maker once relied almost exclusively on Microsoft to secure its computing resources. But sources told The Information it’s now going to do some of that grunt work itself since Microsoft can’t keep up with its enormous appetite.

Another factor: As Microsoft develops its own AI models and products, it’s starting to see OpenAI more like a competitor — and less like a collaborator. OpenAI is now making deals with some of Microsoft’s biggest data center rivals and cozying up to Apple, with plans to integrate ChatGPT into future iPhone models.

But the pair can’t exactly split for good: Microsoft will likely get a giant stake in OpenAI once the startup officially converts to a for-profit company, adding new hurdles to the already-tense partnership.
