Google Wants OpenAI’s Market Share

🥷 Google's Secret Weapon to Outshine OpenAI

Overview

Google is readying its conversational artificial intelligence software, Gemini, for public release. A select group of companies have been granted access to an early version of the software, marking a significant step towards Google's expansion into AI consumer services and business solutions.

Key Points

• A limited group of companies are testing the early version of Gemini, Google's conversational AI software.

• The AI software is nearing public introduction into Google's consumer services and business-focused cloud unit.

• Gemini is a direct competition to OpenAI's income-generating GPT-4 model and its ChatGPT chatbot.

Why It Matters

As Google enters the competitive AI landscape, the release of Gemini marks a significant shift in the company's direction, and potentially the wider field of artificial intelligence. Its competition with OpenAI's GPT-4 model could foster innovations in conversational AI, and impact sectors such as finance that currently utilize AI models.

AI Coming To iPhones?

🍎 Apple's Subtle Integration of AI in Latest Products

Overview

Despite remaining noticeably silent about artificial intelligence in its marketing compared to competitors, Apple has woven AI into many features in its latest products, including iPhone 15, Apple Watch Series 9, and Apple Watch Ultra 2. These products utilize AI to enhance user experience, highlighting a trend in Apple's indirect but widespread application of AI technology.

Key Points

• The new iPhone 15 and its variants offer an upgraded camera experience empowered by AI. It uses machine learning to determine subjects in the frame and enable portrait mode accordingly. It also includes an efficient A17 Pro chip for AI-based camera functionalities and predictive text.

• Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 feature an improved AI virtual assistant Siri, thanks to the 4-core neural engine in the S9 that boosts AI functions and enables better image and voice recognition.

• With Siri processing requests on-device, responses are quicker and unrestrained by a cellular connection. Siri has also been integrated with the Health app for a more comprehensive user experience.

Why It Matters

Despite their quiet approach to AI publicity, Apple's deep integration of AI into their latest products signifies the priorities of the tech giant moving towards improvement of user experience through AI. This approach might influence other companies to innovate quietly making AI an industry standard, rather than a feature to flaunt.

AI Tool Predicts Health Conditions Using Retinal Images

A new AI tool called RETFound has been developed by scientists to diagnose and predict the risk of several health conditions ranging from eye diseases to heart failure and Parkinson's disease. The application uses people's retinal images to perform this complex task. The AI tool was trained using self-supervised learning, negating the need for manual analysis and labeling of each image.
