AI ON MY MIND

Yesterday, we had Ted, my AI researcher friend, tell us what AI agents are.

If you didn’t get a chance to read it, search your email for the email titled “Gemini 2.0”.

Today, we continue the conversation.

There are different types of AI agents and Ted breaks them down below.

Warning: It gets a bit technical but it’s useful information.

AI agents are here and there’s no stopping them.

This technology is going to radically transform the workplace and business as we know it.

Thanks to Ted for the in depth explanation.

TODAY’S TOP STORIES

📱 Apple Intelligence goes live with iOS 18.1 update

Apple has launched iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1, introducing their first wave of Apple Intelligence features, though availability is limited to newer devices with specific chips. The initial rollout includes writing tools, image cleanup, article summaries, and a redesigned Siri experience, with users being placed on a brief waitlist after opting in. Unlike other AI systems, Apple's approach uses smaller, function-specific models rather than massive datasets.

  • Only select devices can run the new AI features, including iPhone 15 Pro series, all iPhone 16 models, and newer iPads and Macs with M1 chips or later.

  • The system requires some server-side processing, leading to an unusual waitlist system for Apple.

  • Future updates (iOS 18.2) will bring additional features like Genmoji, Image Playground, and ChatGPT integration.

💻 Meta is developing an AI search engine

Meta is developing its own AI-powered search engine to reduce dependency on Google and Microsoft, marking a significant shift in its digital strategy. This initiative aims to create an independent search capability that could revolutionize how users find information across Meta's family of apps. The project represents Meta's ambitious push to integrate advanced AI technology directly into its core services.

  • The new search engine will focus on providing answers using AI rather than just linking to external websites.

  • Meta's development aims to enhance search capabilities across Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp.

  • This move could potentially disrupt Meta's existing partnerships with Google and Microsoft Bing.

🗞️ Election disinformation cycle isn't slowing down

The 2024 election faces unprecedented challenges with AI-generated content and disinformation threatening to create chaos around election results, particularly if the outcome is close or contested. Social media platforms and election officials are preparing for a surge of false claims and deepfake content that could undermine public trust in the electoral process. The situation is more complex than in 2020, with advanced AI tools making it easier to create and spread convincing fake content.

  • Tech companies are strengthening their content moderation policies and working with election officials to combat disinformation campaigns.

  • AI-generated content, including deepfake videos and manipulated images, poses a significant new threat compared to previous elections.

  • Social media platforms are particularly concerned about false claims spreading rapidly in the crucial period between voting and final result certification.
