This morning, Google announced a laundry list of new generative AI capabilities and features for developers, through a PaLM API and in Google Cloud, as well as new integrations for users of Google Workspace, including in Gmail and Google Docs. The announcements come just a month after Google unveiled its search chatbot Bard and less than a week after Bloomberg reported that a new internal Google directive "requires generative AI to be incorporated into all of its biggest products within months." The news also appears in advance of Microsoft's highly-anticipated virtual'Future of Work with AI' event this Thursday. Thanks to comments last week by Microsoft Germany CTO Andreas Braun, that event is rumored to include the release a multimodal GPT-4, as well as a ChatGPT upgrade for Microsoft 365 applications such as Word and Outlook. During a virtual press briefing yesterday, Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian said that the AI announcements "represent the culmination" of many years of work, including bringing together Transformer technology advances in reinforcement learning and advances in parallelism and orchestrating large training workloads.

Grammarly announced today that it's (unsurprisingly) diving into the generative AI fray. GrammarlyGo is an upcoming set of auto-composition features to help the AI proofreading software keep up with the many companies adding the ChatGPT API (or different generative AI backends) to their products. GrammarlyGo can use context like voice, style, purpose and where you're writing to determine its approach. So, for example, it can spit out email replies, shorten passages, rewrite them for tone and clarity, brainstorm or choose from one-click prompts -- all while adhering to your company's voice or other provided context. In addition, since Grammarly's desktop service can pop up in any text field on your computer, its generative writing could be slightly more convenient than competitors (like Notion or Gmail's Smart Compose) that require you to visit an app or website.

Not biased or compromised by historical baggage, personal relationships or having to worry about their next job. In September, Dictador – a global spirits company – got exactly this type of leader when they placed an AI in the CEO's chair.1 Teneo's 2023 global CEO and Investor Outlook Survey demonstrated a resounding interest in the future of AI by CEOs and the investors who empower their agenda as a strong area of big bets for innovative tech. Half (48%) of CEOs from the world's leading public companies have already adopted AI, with another 58% actively investing to strengthen their AI capabilities. These systems have brought the world of frictionless autonomous computing to the masses and are beginning to challenge the fundamental understanding of what computers can do and what it means to create anything, from executive speeches to works of art, from lines of code. The success of these platforms has sparked an arms race with Google, Microsoft and others racing to incorporate or duplicate these technologies within their core products.

March 7, 2023 -- Salesforce (NYSE: CRM), the global leader in CRM, today launched Einstein GPT, the world's first generative AI CRM technology, which delivers AI-created content across every sales, service, marketing, commerce, and IT interaction, at hyperscale. With Einstein GPT, Salesforce will transform every customer experience with generative AI. Einstein GPT will infuse Salesforce's proprietary AI models with generative AI technology from an ecosystem of partners and real-time data from the Salesforce Data Cloud, which ingests, harmonizes, and unifies all of a company's customer data. With Einstein GPT, customers can then connect that data to OpenAI's advanced AI models out of the box, or choose their own external model and use natural-language prompts directly within their Salesforce CRM to generate content that continuously adapts to changing customer information and needs in real time. For example, Einstein GPT can generate personalized emails for salespeople to send to customers, generate specific responses for customer service professionals to more quickly answer customer questions, generate targeted content for marketers to increase campaign response rates, and auto-generate code for developers.

Adopting and sharing best practice to govern the use of artificial intelligence (AI), as well as clear guidance, will encourage responsible innovation and make sure people benefit from emerging technologies. That was one of the conclusions of a new report from global analytics leader SAS, AI & Responsible Innovation: What's Next? As an insatiable appetite for data analytics and advances in quantum computing fuel new developments in AI, concerns are mounting that it could lead to people being harmed or disadvantaged, whether this is done intentionally or not. One of contributors to the SAS report is data scientist, global speaker and founder of the Data Leadership Group Dr Kirk Borne. He said: "AI has become so powerful, and so pervasive, that it's increasingly difficult to tell what's real or not, and what's good or bad. "Of course, it's not only the outright criminals we need to be wary of.

Global and national brands have been upended by changes brought on in omnichannel marketing as customers access search engines and social media sites that provide highly localized results. "Brands must ensure consistent localized marketing efforts while still appealing to the unique local audience, and marketers must find ways to consolidate workflows while optimizing local channels," Afif Khoury, founder and CEO of Soci, told VentureBeat. To bolster this, the digital marketing software provider announced today that it has raised $120 million in its latest financing round. The funds will serve to advance use of AI and machine learning (ML), including ChatGPT natural language models along with Soci's marketing platform for multi-location brands. Khoury said the Soci platform aims to streamline localized marketing efforts across digital channels while adhering to brand guidelines, optimizing local search and integrating data.

Bristol Myers Squibb and Viz.ai, an AI-powered medical imaging company, have signed a deal to use AI to detect and triage patients with suspected hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The Viz HCM provider workflow software automatically reviews routine electrocardiograms (ECGs), detects cases of suspected HCM and alerts the cardiologist who performed the ECG. It is hoped that this will help physicians to diagnose HCM faster and in a more efficient way. Viz.ai has filed a de novo request to the FDA for the software as a Software-as-a-Medical-Device (SaMD), which has been accepted for review. It provides a mobile-based ECG viewer with AI alerts and communication tools, all aiming to improve cardiac care communication.
