🧠 ‘The Godfather of A.I.’ Leaves Google and Warns of Danger Ahead
A pioneer of deep learning joined the chorus of AI insiders who worry that the technology is becoming dangerous, saying that part of him regrets his life’s work.
Hinton’s thoughts about AI risks are exceptionally well informed. His concerns sound a note of caution for AI practitioners to evaluate the ethical dimensions of their work and stand by their principles.
🎶 Streaming services urged to clamp down on AI-generated music
Universal Music Group, which owns labels including Deutsche Grammophon, EMI, Interscope, Motown, Polydor, and Virgin, is pressing Spotify and other streaming media services to counter the threat of AI-driven copycats
🇫🇷 France looks to AI-powered surveillance to secure Olympics
French lawmakers said “oui” to broad uses of AI-powered surveillance.
France’s National Assembly authorized authorities to test systems that detect unlawful, dangerous, or unusual behavior at next year’s Summer Olympics in Paris, Reuters reported. The bill will become law unless the country’s top court blocks it.
🙋 Stack Overflow Will Charge AI Giants for Training Data
Developers of language models will have to pay for access to troves of text data that they previously got for free.
The discussion platform Reddit and question-and-answer site Stack Overflow announced plans to protect their data from being used to train large language models.
Both sites offer APIs that enable developers to scrape data, like posts and conversations, en masse. Soon they'll charge for access.
🇺🇸 U.S. Politics Go Generative
The Republican Party released a video entirely made up of AI-generated images. The production, which attacks incumbent U.S. president Joe Biden — who leads the rival Democratic Party — marks the arrival of image generation in mainstream U.S. politics.
The ad depicts hypothetical events that purportedly might occur if Biden were to win re-election in 2024.

🧑🎓 ChatGPT Prompt Engineering for Developers
In ChatGPT Prompt Engineering for Developers, you will learn how to use a large language model (LLM) to quickly build new and powerful applications. Using the OpenAI API, you’ll be able to quickly build capabilities that learn to innovate and create value in ways that were cost-prohibitive, highly technical, or simply impossible before now.
The ability to do both exploratory data analysis and final production code using the same library is very compelling. What’s more, Polars is fast, and it lets you take advantage of multiple cores.
