OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said that he was "a little bit scared" of ChatGPT and admitted that his technology would likely destroy "a lot of current jobs." The CEO of the company behind ChatGPT, likely the world's most famous AI chatbot, admitted that he was "a little bit scared" of his company's creation during an interview with ABC News. "We've got to be careful here," OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said during an interview Thursday. That's because the technology itself, he explained, was extremely powerful and could be dangerous. "I think people should be happy that we are a little bit scared of this," the 37-year-old tech guru said.

Billionaire Robin Li launches on March 16 Baidu's conversational chatbot, Ernie Bot, at the company's headquarters in Beijing. Billionaire and Baidu CEO Robin Li on Thursday officially unveiled the Chinese search giant's answer to ChatGPT, as his company seeks to outdo domestic competitors in developing conversational artificial intelligence technologies, which have recently taken the world's second largest economy by storm. At a highly anticipated event at Baidu's Beijing headquarters, the 54-year-old Li walked onto the stage and displayed the company's chatbot service, Ernie Bot. But instead of a live demo, the audience was only shown videos of Ernie Bot performing a range of prepared and pre-recorded tasks, including answering questions about a popular novelist, composing press releases as well as working on mathematics problems. So attendees weren't given a chance to interact with Ernie Bot in real-time, though the company said the service will be available to a selected group of users starting on Thursday.

Taipei, Taiwan – Chinese search engine giant Baidu has revealed its artificial intelligence-powered chatbot ERNIE, the latest rival to OpenAI's groundbreaking ChatGPT. Baidu Chief Executive Robin Li said on Thursday that ERNIE, known as Weixin in Chinese, was the result of "decades of Baidu's hard work and efforts" at a live streamed press conference held to show off the technology's capabilities. "In two rounds of conversation, the ERNIE bot presented its capability of mathematical logic reasoning," Li said. "It does not only know whether the question itself is correct or not, it also provided answers and specific steps to figure out the answer." At the event in Beijing, Li showed ERNIE generating a conference poster and video based on a prompt, offering advice on the best location for the event among several Chinese cities, and read material in a Sichuan dialect.

Are you tired of hearing about AI features coming to your favorite apps and tools yet? In a sprawling AI topic post this morning, the company announced artificial intelligence text generation going into some of its most commonly-used productivity tools, including Gmail, Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet, and Chat. If that sounds like "all the stuff Google makes to rival Microsoft Office," it's not a coincidence. Google is clearly trying to get ahead of its workspace rival, since Microsoft is set to announce new AI features at its Future of Work presentation just two days from now. Google recently showed off Bard, its conversational AI, quickly following Microsoft's integration of ChatGPT with the Bing search engine.

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.
