TODAY’S TOP STORIES

💻 OpenAI’s take on AI agents could come in January

OpenAI is gearing up to launch "Operator," an AI agent tool that can perform direct actions on users' computers, with a potential release date as early as January 2024 through their developer API1.

This new software will compete with similar offerings from Anthropic and Google, potentially revolutionizing how we interact with our computers.

The announcement coincides with OpenAI's release of a policy paper suggesting the creation of AI-focused economic zones and strategic alliances to compete with China.

• The tool, codenamed "Operator," will initially launch as a research preview through OpenAI's developer API.
  

• It's designed as a general-purpose tool that can execute tasks directly in a web browser.
  

• The launch aligns with OpenAI's broader strategic moves, including policy recommendations for U.S. AI development.

📢 Perplexity brings ads to its platform

Perplexity, the AI-powered search engine, is rolling out ads in the US through "sponsored follow-up questions" alongside search results, partnering with major brands like Indeed and Whole Foods.

The company emphasizes that while introducing ads, the AI will continue generating unbiased answers without advertiser interference, maintaining their commitment to accuracy and objectivity. This move differs from OpenAI's ad-free approach but aligns with Google's recent integration of ads in their AI search features.

• The ads will appear as sponsored questions and paid media positioned to the side of answers, clearly labeled as sponsored content.

• Perplexity states that subscriptions alone weren't sufficient for sustainable revenue sharing with publisher partners.
  

• Advertisers won't have access to users' personal information, preserving user privacy.

📉The Fall 2024 Workforce Index Shows AI Hype Is Cooling

The Fall 2024 Workforce Index reveals a fascinating paradox: while 99% of executives are planning AI investments, worker enthusiasm is cooling with adoption rates plateauing and excitement dropping 6% globally. Nearly half of desk workers feel uncomfortable admitting their AI use to managers, citing fears of being seen as cheating or incompetent, despite widespread executive support. The data exposes a disconnect between workers hoping AI will free them for meaningful work and their fear it may actually increase their workload.

• Only 7% of desk workers consider themselves AI experts, with 61% spending less than 5 hours on AI training.
  

• Gen Z and Millennial workers are twice as likely to consider themselves AI experts compared to more experienced workers.
  

• 3 out of 4 desk workers say a company's AI capabilities influence their job search decisions.
