🤖 OpenAI co-founder announces new AI companyLINK
Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI’s co-founder and ex-chief scientist, has launched a new AI company called Safe Superintelligence Inc. (SSI), focusing solely on creating a safe and powerful AI system.
SSI aims to combine safety and capability advancements, avoiding external pressures from corporate management and product cycles seen at companies like OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft.
The startup, also co-founded by Daniel Gross and Daniel Levy, prioritizes safety, security, and progress over short-term commercial interests, with plans to develop its safe superintelligence as its sole product for the foreseeable future.
🚀 Anthropic announces its most powerful AI yetLINK
Anthropic has launched Claude 3.5 Sonnet, a new AI model that aims to be on par with, or superior to, OpenAI's GPT-4o and Google's Gemini across various tasks.
Claude 3.5 Sonnet claims to be significantly faster than its predecessor and outperforms it, even surpassing other leading models in multiple benchmarks.
Alongside the new model, Anthropic introduced the Artifacts feature, which allows users to interact with and edit Claude's outputs directly within the app, enhancing its functionality beyond a typical chatbot.
🇪🇺 EU Council withdraws Chat Control voteLINK
The EU Council withdrew the vote on the Chat Control proposal due to a lack of majority support and significant pushback.
Belgium's draft law, which includes client-side scanning of end-to-end encrypted messages, could not gain enough backing and was postponed indefinitely.
Hungary will take over the Council Presidency in July and plans to advance negotiations on the contentious Chat Control plan.
🚧 Apple Intelligence plans face legal challenges in ChinaLINK
Apple's push to enhance its artificial intelligence capabilities faces significant challenges in China due to the country's stringent AI regulations and censorship laws.
China's strict regulation of AI, including rules about language models and data protection, means Apple must navigate approvals and potentially partner with local tech giants like Baidu and Alibaba.
Apple's focus on user privacy and the need for localized AI experiences may help it gain regulatory approval but also present significant hurdles in ensuring compliance and acceptance in the Chinese market.
