The Race To Build A Better AI
The race to build the better Artificial Intelligence (AI) is heating up, with industry giants spending a ton of resources to build the most capable AI tool. it seems like everyday you'll hear or read a new AI tool is created to surpass the current best out in the market, some of it is almost crossing the boundary between what's moral and ethical like Google's attempt for racial diversity in it's Gemini AI to generate images of people, but created backlash for the company instead. Pausing it's release while the company work's out a solution for the seemingly minor error but huge negative backlash for the company, via a twitter announcement they made;
OpenAI recently released a text-to-voice generation platform it developed called Voice Engine, which can create a synthetic voice based on a 15-second clip of someone’s voice. The AI-generated voice can read out text prompts on command in the same language as the speaker or in a number of other languages. But text-to-voice generation tool encountered controversy when the Federal Communications Commission banned robocalls using AI voices after people received spam calls from an AI-cloned voice of President Joe Biden. This is also one of the contentious issue in the negotiation between SAG-AFTRA and movie producers and studio owners during the latter's industry wide strike.Meanwhile a 4 way fight is raging between, Anthropic, Google, OpenAI and Twitter for supremacy on the chatBOT arena. With Anthropic's Claude 3 dethroning OpenAI's chatGPT 4 on the LMSYS Chatbot Arena leaderboard, Claude 3's ascent is a pretty significant milestone in the rapidly evolving LLM landscape, As competitors like Anthropic, which is getting a boost of $4 Billion investment from Amazon and Google continue to gain ground with increasingly capable models. Elon Musk and Twitter is not far behind in the battle for supremacy in the LLM lanscape with the release of Grok 1.5 with it's improved performance in coding and math-related tasks achieving a 50.6% score on the MATH benchmark and a 90% score on the GSM8K benchmark. While all this happening, Apple and Microsoft is quietly doing their own thing in the AI sphere. There's rumor going around in Tech world that Apple is considering adding AI in their devices, the company's consumer dive into the AI sector has been growing louder and louder and potentially putting AI in the hands of billions of it's users and would be a defining moment in Apple's history. Microsoft unveiled last January "Copilot key" that run's on Microsoft's Windows 11 operating system, a major computer keyboard redesign by adding an artificial intelligence chatbot button. Dell Technologies has already unveiled a Copilot key on its newest XPS laptops, making them the first to have it in the PC market.With the battle for AI supremacy still going on expect more advancement in the AI landscape, with more powerful features and i'm sure new players to join the fray after all Artificial Intelligence is a wide and deep sector in the Technology world.
