Will AI Destroy The World? The Public Thinks So…

🫢 Public Opinion on AI Rules and Regulations

Overview

There is a call for more regulation when it comes to AI according to a new report from AIPI.

The majority of people surveyed support policies that address the potential problems caused by AI as it becomes more powerful. They also want regulations to discourage risky AI use, which could be misused. People are particularly interested in regulations that limit the availability of customizable AI models, control how models are trained, prevent AI from becoming too capable, address current vulnerabilities, and delay the development of superintelligent AI.

Key Points

  • The public-backed high-impact policies are designed to address the transformative nature of AI and its possible risks which include potential misuse, model training dangers, and capability escalation.

  • Most legislative frameworks evaluated largely address the immediate harms of AI, with some focusing on its future risks. Few policies are diving into limiting the hazardous capabilities of advanced AI.

  • Several legislations including the Bipartisan Framework for U.S. AI Act, Schumer's SAFE Innovation AI framework, and several others have been presented to address different aspects of AI regulation.

Why It Matters

These findings show that the public wants strict rules for AI to protect against future dangers. Lawmakers need to understand how AI can change things and the risks it poses. These rules could affect how AI is used worldwide. Right now, most policies only focus on immediate risks and don't limit future AI capabilities.

Hey Google, Microsoft Wants To Battle

💬 Microsoft’s New AI Assistant Dropping Soon

Overview

Microsoft's AI assistant, '365 Copilot,' will be available to certain business and enterprise plans of Microsoft 365 customers from November 1. However, there's a catch - it comes with a $30 per month premium per user. Similar to Google's Duet AI, Copilot can assist businesses in drafting emails, creating new Word projects, and providing real-time highlights during Teams meetings.

Key Points

  • Microsoft's 365 Copilot is a new AI assistant launching on November 1, but this feature comes at a $30 premium per user.

  • Along with creating drafts and summarizing documents, Copilot can demonstrate Excel functions and offer real-time meeting highlights.

  • Microsoft is not limiting this AI capability to 365 Copilot only; it plans to incorporate similar functions across its various apps and services.

Why It Matters

As businesses increasingly embrace digital transformation, tools like 365 Copilot could be significantly beneficial in boosting efficiency and productivity, despite the additional premium charge. The launch represents Microsoft's competitive response to Google’s Duet AI, signaling emerging competition in the AI business tools space. Additionally, the spread of these features throughout Microsoft's other apps and services could set a precedent for how AI technology is gradually integrated into everyday work tools.
