TODAY IN AI

1. ChatGPT can now double as an AI-powered search platform: OpenAI announced it’s rolling out a long-awaited search feature this week for Plus and Team users; basic users will get access “over the coming months.” It’ll help you find relevant and up-to-date information — not just the data ChatGPT was trained on.

• The news could send a certain other tech giant scrambling as it looks to keep up with newer, AI-powered entrants

• Not to be outdone, Alphabet just released an experimental “Learn About” feature that generates timelines, quizzes, and interactive lists to help you understand the news

2. Platform claims it’s the first to detect AI hallucinations without human input: Little by little, AI models are getting better at catching their own mistakes, but the process is time-consuming and energy-intensive. Now, SF-based AI startup Patronus says it launched a platform that can automate those operations, catching AI hallucinations in real-time. When it comes to medical subjects, it’s 8% more accurate than GPT-4.

3. Maps gets an AI overhaul: A Gemini-powered AI assistant is coming to Maps this week, unlocking new ways to navigate through your city or town. You can ask open-ended questions like “Which Thai restaurant should I eat at tonight” — or get more fine-grained, i.e. “Does it have vegan options?” Meanwhile, Alphabet’s research division is developing a platform that can transform handwritten notes into fully editable digital documents.

FROM THE FRONTIER

Costa Rica becomes first nation to revamp brand strategy with AI

In the first half of 2024 alone, Costa Rica welcomed more than 1.5 million tourists, accounting for roughly 8% of its GDP. Now, the Central American nation is taking an unconventional approach to maintain its reputation: It just became the first-ever nation to use AI to hone and shape its national brand strategy.

The details:

• It fed an LLM reports, studies, and expert interviews to help it get a better grasp of the country’s strengths

• The model used “subtle patterns and correlations within the data” to pinpoint unique opportunities, like environmental leadership, as Costa Rica charts its course toward 2035

• This pioneering use of AI in nation branding could reshape how countries position themselves globally, potentially giving smaller countries a more sophisticated toolkit to compete with larger, better-funded nations on the world stage
