📰 Quick News 📰

🕵🏾 Clearview AI, a US-based facial recognition firm, won an appeal against a privacy sanction imposed by the UK last year. The verdict was based on the exemption relating to foreign law enforcement, implying potential changes in international data laws.

🤖 OpenAI discontinued Arrakis, an AI model with the potential to reduce AI inference costs, due to insufficient performance. The development knowledge of Arrakis could, however, still influence the upgrade of other models.

🏭 Nvidia and Foxconn are constructing a new type of data center, termed as 'AI factories'. These factories are set to utilize supercomputing powers to primarily accelerate the development of autonomous vehicles and industrial robots, marking a significant step in the evolution of AI application.

👮 In a rare joint statement, the Intelligence heads from the "Five Eyes" countries - the U.S, Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand - have accused China of intellectual property theft and of using artificial intelligence for broad-scale hacking and spying operations.

🔖 The issue of fake online reviews is being tackled by Mozilla's Firefox by introducing the AI-powered tool, Fakespot. This measure aims to scrutinize the authenticity of product reviews, significantly improving transparency in the e-commerce sector and impacting online shopping behavior.

💰 Square, the popular financial services platform, has embraced generative AI by launching features like a menu generator and a website generator, aiming to streamline the restaurant and retail sales sectors.

🚫 China has proposed an intricate set of guidelines on generative AI, scrutinizing data sources for training, monitoring output, and subtly managing content moderation to enhance safety, and potentially strengthening its censorship power.

🖼️ OpenAI is in the process of developing a tool that accurately detects AI-produced images 99% of the time. This authenticator could be a major step forward in validating the origin of images, providing a reliable method in the expanding universe of AI-created content.

🗃️ Advanced AI chatbots have the capacity to infer an array of personal information such as your race, location, and occupation from regular conversations, posing potential risks for data harvesting and targeted advertising.

⚙️ Nvidia is adopting an expansive tactic in the realm of generative AI: the addition of TensorRT-LLM SDK is intended to expedite large language models (LLMs). This acceleration is poised to improve user experience by making AI applications such as writing and coding assistants faster and more efficient.

🌐 Google is boldly defending its use of public data for AI training, stating that it's just learning and not stealing. They argue that the current lawsuit threatens not only their operations but also the exciting prospects of generative AI.

🦾 Amazon's Sequoia, a new AI robotics system, improves the speed of product finding and storage by up to 75%, increases order fulfillment by 25%, and might provide workers with items at waist level, promising faster deliveries and safer warehouse operations.
