AI ON MY MIND

Happy Friday the 13th!

Quick question. I’m thinking about changing the format of this newsletter.

Instead of being a daily newsletter thinking of a more niched down newsletter

What this means is, I will write about one specific topic in AI versus generic AI news.

Some ideas I initially had was AI for marketing, AI for business growth, or AI for work.

But those are just ideas, nothing solidified yet.

I’m curious what would you want to learn more about in the AI space?

Would you still read this newsletter if it did deep dives on specific topics instead of AI news?

TODAY’S TOP STORIES

💻 ChatGPT adds eyes to its voice with new screen and video sharing feature

OpenAI has introduced a groundbreaking visual feature to ChatGPT's Advanced Voice Mode, allowing users to share their screen and stream video from their camera while interacting with the AI assistant.

The new capability enables hands-free, voice-guided interactions where users can show ChatGPT what they're working on and receive real-time assistance.

Currently exclusive to ChatGPT Plus and Pro subscribers, with Enterprise and Education tier access coming next month, this feature represents a significant step toward more natural human-AI interaction.

  • The feature activates through the voice icon and video icon in the ChatGPT app, with screen sharing available via the three-dot menu.

  • Users can get help with tasks ranging from IKEA furniture assembly to cooking guidance by showing ChatGPT what they're working on.

  • Privacy concerns are addressed by requiring manual activation for each use, preventing accidental video sharing.

👀 Google launches Agentspace to combine AI agents and enterprise search

Google has launched Agentspace, a new AI-powered tool that combines enterprise search with AI agents to boost employee productivity and streamline complex tasks

This centralized platform uses generative AI to provide knowledge and expertise, allowing employees to accomplish various tasks with a single prompt.

  • Agentspace can perform actions like creating press releases, analyzing business trends, and assisting with employee onboarding.

  • The tool integrates with various enterprise data sources, including Confluence, Google Drive, and Microsoft SharePoint.

  • Google is also introducing NotebookLM Plus, an AI-powered note-taking and research application for enterprises

📚 Harvard Makes 1 Million Books Available to Train AI Models

Harvard University has announced a groundbreaking initiative to make nearly one million public domain books available for AI model training, funded by Microsoft and OpenAI through the Institutional Data Initiative.

This massive dataset, comprised of Google Books scans that are no longer under copyright protection, arrives at a crucial time when AI companies are facing challenges in accessing quality training data amid ongoing legal battles with major publishers.

The collection represents a significant step forward in providing legitimate, copyright-cleared content for AI development, though its historical nature may limit its contemporary applications.

  • The initiative addresses the growing need for high-quality training data for AI models like ChatGPT, which require extensive text input to improve their capabilities

  • Major publishers including the Wall Street Journal and New York Times have filed lawsuits against AI companies for unauthorized use of their content, making this public domain dataset particularly valuable

  • While substantial, the dataset's historical nature means it lacks modern vernacular and may not fully meet the diverse training needs of AI companies seeking to differentiate their models.
