📰 Quick News 📰

⚙️ Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip (leaked) is set to make artificial intelligence a lot more exciting on Android phones. It promises enhanced camera capabilities, a significant speed boost, and more gaming options. Plus, your 5G experience could really start feeling next-gen.

🖥️ Nvidia, known for leading in AI computing chips, is now giving Intel a run for their money in the world of personal computers. By creating Arm-based CPUs for Windows by 2025, we might see a faster and more efficient computer performance.

📜 China lodged 29,853 AI patents in 2022, 80% more than the US. This lead, established since 2017, places China as a dominant player in critical technology areas, including semiconductor production, space science, and military tech.

💰 Microsoft is set to expand its technological presence in Australia, with plans to invest $3.2 billion over two years. This will cover artificial intelligence and cloud computing enhancements, skills training, increased cyber security and preparation for impending AI regulations.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 AI ‘Godfathers’, Bengio and Hinton, team up with 22 AI experts, suggesting a responsible framework for AI development. They suggest investing a third of AI budgets into managing possible risks, marking a pioneering step towards a safer digital future.

📚 Nerd section 📚

⚒️ LangChain's latest introduction, LangServe, streamlines the transition from prototypes to production versions. The tool offers various features including streaming and async support, parallel execution optimization, and input/output schemas.

🎞️ SimVP: Simpler yet Better Video Prediction. It utilizes a pure convolutional operator setting, diverging from the common attention mechanism practice. It presents a CNN-CNN-CNN architecture that not only simplifies the model but delivers significantly with surprising efficiency and reduced complexity.

So here (but not in the email version) we're adding AI-related stories that may be slightly less attention-grabbing, but still could move the needle in specific sectors and fields.

🎶 The latest update from YouTube introduces an AI-based feature for customizing playlist artwork. You could select a theme, and the system will generates appropriate imagery, providing a unique and personalized experience.

💸 Databricks is purchasing Arcion Labs, whose tech ingests data from multiple databases and SaaS applications into the Databricks Lakehouse Platform. The move ensures more informed decision-making and adherence to compliance rules.

💲 The startup MangoBoost, which develops data processing units, raised $55 million in Series A funding. Their technology, aimed at offloading workloads from pricier CPUs and GPUs, could cut costs and improve productivity in data centers, particularly beneficial in the face of the global chip shortage.

🧒 PimEyes, a facial recognition search engine, now safeguards children’s digital footprint by blocking their faces from search results. This move is an effort to improve online privacy, although the implemented AI system still requires further development to accurately detect ages and angles.

📃 In a message to Congress, data workers contributing to AI improvements have demanded protection for their rights.

We love to hear back from you!
