👀 Try Bard, the new AI from Google
We’re starting to open access to Bard, an early experiment that lets you collaborate with generative AI. We're beginning with the U.S. and the U.K., and will expand to more countries and languages over time.
⚖️ OpenAI CEO Sam Altman testifies before Congress on AI risks
Sam Altman urged lawmakers to regulate AI during a Senate panel hearing, describing the technology’s current boom as a potential “printing press moment” but one that required safeguards.
🌎 Introducing speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and more for 1,100+ languages
Meta AI has expanded speech technology from about 100 languages to over 1,000 by building a single multilingual speech recognition model supporting over 1,100 languages.
This model was trained on a massive dataset of audio and text, and it can be used to transcribe speech in a wide variety of languages.
The model is also capable of translating speech from one language to another.
This new technology has the potential to make speech technology more accessible to people around the world, and it could be used in a variety of applications, such as voice-activated assistants, translation services, and educational tools.
🎬 Stability AI Releases StableStudio, the Open Source Future of DreamStudio
Stability AI is thrilled to announce StableStudio, the open-source release of our premiere text-to-image consumer application DreamStudio. StableStudio marks a fresh chapter for our imaging pipeline and showcases Stability AI's dedication to advancing open-source development within the AI ecosystem.
💸 Birth of a Salesman: OpenAI Sheds Its Lab Coat to Seek Big Deals
The company built a sales team and courted corporate partners in advance of launching its latest large language model. OpenAI hired a head of sales only last June, four years after shifting from nonprofit to for-profit. She and her team began signing up corporate customers soon after.
The sales team offered access to the GPT-4 API along with engineers to assist in developing products based on it. Customers include Khan Academy, Morgan Stanley and Salesforce.
