TODAY’S TOP STORIES

💻 Trump's AI Czar

President-elect Donald Trump is considering appointing an AI czar to coordinate federal AI policy and government utilization, with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy set to influence the selection process through the newly-formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The role would focus on maintaining America's AI leadership and coordinating with agency chief AI officers to address fraud and inefficiencies1. While Elon Musk won't take the position himself, his involvement has raised concerns among rivals who worry he could leverage his relationship with Trump to favor his companies.

  • The AI czar position wouldn't require Senate confirmation, allowing for faster implementation of the administration's AI agenda.

  • The role might be combined with a "crypto czar" position that the White House is also considering.

  • Trump's administration plans to take a deregulatory approach to AI, potentially undoing President Biden's 2023 executive order2

📞 AI Granny Stopping Spam Calls

Daisy Harris, an AI-powered grandmother created by UK telecom provider O2, engages phone scammers in lengthy conversations to waste their time and prevent them from targeting real victims. The AI chatbot, trained to mimic a tech-challenged elderly person, has successfully kept fraudsters on calls for up to 40 minutes while sharing stories about her cat Fluffy and discussing her love for knitting, representing a significant advancement in AI-powered audio manipulation.

  • Virgin Media O2 developed Daisy after research showed that scammers operate full-time call centers targeting British citizens, with fraud losses reaching $2.9 billion in 2023.

  • Using a specialized large language model, Daisy autonomously converts voice to text, generates responses, and speaks in real-time, creating convincingly human interactions.

  • The AI grandmother was inspired by real grandmothers and trained with help from professional scam-baiter Jim Browning to employ effective time-wasting strategies6.

✍️ Anthropic says Claude AI can match your unique writing style

Anthropic has launched a groundbreaking custom styles feature for Claude AI, allowing users to personalize how the chatbot communicates through preset options or by training it with their own writing samples.

The system offers three preset styles - Formal, Concise, and Explanatory - while also enabling users to create custom styles by uploading writing examples or providing specific instructions. GitLab has already implemented this feature successfully, using it to standardize communication across various tasks from business cases to documentation.

  • Users can switch between styles during conversations, with Claude adapting its responses accordingly for new messages and edits.

  • The feature includes a preview function to test how styles affect Claude's responses before implementation.

  • Custom styles can be generated by uploading documents in various formats including PDF, DOC, and TXT files.
