AI ON MY MIND

Happy Thursday!

One of my tweets went viral on Twitter talking about bolt.new.

The tweet has over 120k views and I gained close to 500 new followers.

I didn’t plan on my tweet going viral but it caught the attention of the bolt team and they are sending me a free t-shirt.

The lesson here?

Talk about the things you are exploring, you never know who’s watching.

Best part, AI can help with all aspects of content creation, so you really don’t have an excuse.

TODAY’S TOP STORIES

🌎 Pokémon Go Players Have Unwittingly Trained AI to Navigate the World

Niantic, the company behind Pokémon Go, has revealed it's using player-collected data to develop a Large Geospatial Model (LGM) that will help AI navigate the physical world. The company has amassed an impressive 10 million scanned locations globally, with 1 million fresh scans added weekly, creating a unique dataset from pedestrian perspectives that could revolutionize how machines understand and interact with physical spaces.

This massive collection of real-world data, gathered unknowingly by millions of Pokémon Go players since 2016, is now being transformed into a powerful AI training tool that could impact everything from AR glasses to robotics.

  • The LGM builds upon Niantic's Lightship Visual Positioning System (VPS), allowing for centimeter-level accuracy in placing virtual items in the real world.

  • Niantic receives approximately 1 million new scans weekly through their games and Scaniverse app, each containing hundreds of discrete images.

  • The dataset is unique because it captures pedestrian-accessible locations that vehicles can't reach, filling a gap in existing geospatial data.

👨‍🏫 OpenAI launches free AI training course for teachers

OpenAI has launched a free AI training course specifically designed for educators, aiming to help teachers understand and effectively use AI tools like ChatGPT in their classrooms. The initiative includes practical guidance on using AI for lesson planning, student feedback, and administrative tasks while emphasizing responsible AI usage. This comprehensive program demonstrates OpenAI's commitment to making AI technology accessible and beneficial in educational settings.

  • The course features six self-paced modules covering AI fundamentals, classroom applications, and ethical considerations.

  • Teachers who complete the program will receive a certificate and gain hands-on experience with AI tools.

  • The training is currently available in English, with plans to expand to other languages.

🤯 US government commission pushes Manhattan Project-style AI initiative

The US government's National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence is advocating for a Manhattan Project-style initiative to develop AI technology, emphasizing the need for significant federal investment and coordination to maintain technological leadership.

This bold proposal aims to accelerate AI development through a centralized effort, similar to historical programs that achieved breakthrough innovations. The commission's recommendation comes amid growing concerns about international AI competition and the need to ensure US technological superiority.

  • The initiative would require substantial federal funding and coordination across government agencies, private sector, and academic institutions.

  • This approach mirrors successful historical programs like the Manhattan Project and the Space Race, which achieved remarkable technological breakthroughs.

  • The proposal emphasizes maintaining US leadership in AI development while addressing security and ethical concerns.
