Check out all the on-demand sessions from the Intelligent Security Summit here. Google and Microsoft, in separate surprise announcements, confirmed they plan to offer dueling generative AI debuts over the next two days. Today, Google unveiled a new ChatGPT-like chatbot named Bard, as the company races to catch up in the wake of ChatGPT's massive viral success (growing faster than TikTok, apparently). In a blog post, CEO Sundar Pichai said Bard is now open to "trusted testers," with plans to make it available to the public "in the coming weeks." In addition, the company announced a streaming event called Live from Paris focused on "Search, Maps and beyond," to be livestreamed on YouTube at 8:30 am ET on February 8th.

A product race is under way in the world of artificial intelligence. Just this week, Google announced plans to release Bard, a search chatbot based on its proprietary large language model; yesterday, Microsoft held an event unveiling a next-generation web browser with a supercharged Bing interface powered by ChatGPT. Though most big tech companies have been quietly developing their own generative-AI tools for years, these giants are scrambling to demonstrate their chops after the public release and runaway adoption of OpenAI's ChatGPT, which has accumulated more than 30 million users in two months. OpenAI's success is an apparent signal to tech leaders that deep-learning networks are the next frontier of the commercial internet. AI evangelists will similarly tell you that generative AI is destined to become the overlay for not only search engines, but also creative work, busywork, memo writing, research, homework, sketching, outlining, storyboarding, and teaching.

Google isn't about to let Microsoft or anyone else make a swipe for its search crown without a fight. The company announced today that it will roll out a chatbot named Bard "in the coming weeks." The launch appears to be a response to ChatGPT, the sensationally popular artificial intelligence chatbot developed by startup OpenAI with funding from Microsoft. Sundar Pichai, Google's CEO, wrote in a blog post that Bard is already available to "trusted testers" and designed to put the "breadth of the world's knowledge" behind a conversational interface. It uses a smaller version of a powerful AI model called LaMDA, which Google first announced in May 2021 and is based on similar technology to ChatGPT.

BRYAN, Texas, Jan. 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- iBio, Inc. (NYSEA:IBIO) ("iBio" or the "Company"), an AI-driven innovator of precision antibody immunotherapies, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued U.S. Patent No. 11,545,238, entitled "Machine Learning Method For Protein Modelling To Design Engineered Peptides," which covers a machine learning model developed to design engineered epitopes which allow precise steering of therapeutic antibodies towards specific regions of a target protein. "We are thrilled to be issued this U.S. patent, which solidifies our position as a leader in AI-driven drug discovery, and whose claims guarantee broad coverage of our proprietary, epitope-steering antibody discovery engine," said Martin Brenner, DVM. "In addition to marking an important milestone as we transform iBio into an AI-powered biotech company, this patent provides us with a competitive advantage as we continue to build our differentiated pipeline, with benefits that extend to our potential future partners."

Market participants are implementing advanced data processing and integration strategies to gather insights and get a competitive edge over rivals.

Have you ever found yourself trawling through endless pages of results on a search engine to find the answer to a complex question? Say you want to find out if a vegetarian diet is suitable for your dog. Your research journey might begin by hopping onto Google and typing "is a veg diet good for dogs" into the search box and then having to make sense of the legion of generated links. By the time you find an answer, you've sunk way more time than you'd budgeted into poring through articles, reports and their sources. In the not-so-distant future, finding the answer to a complex question might not be such a tedious, mind-numbing process.

WIRE)--Verta, the Operational AI company, today released findings from the 2023 AI/ML Investment Priorities study, which surveyed more than 460 AI and machine learning (ML) practitioners to benchmark AI/ML spending plans across industry sectors in light of evolving technology trends, industry developments, and macroeconomic conditions. The study was conducted by Verta Insights, the research practice of Verta Inc., and found that nearly two-thirds of organizations are planning to either increase or maintain their spending on AI/ML technology and infrastructure despite economic headwinds in the broader market. "We currently are experiencing an inflection point for the AI/ML industry, with technologies like ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion driving heightened interest in how companies can leverage machine learning models to significantly automate human-based activities with very innovative and game-changing capabilities. Findings from our research study confirm that organizations are continuing to make significant investments in AI/ML technology and talent, despite turbulence in the market, as they orient their business strategies around creating intelligent experiences for their customers," said Conrado Silva Miranda, Chief Technology Officer of Verta. In the research study, 31% of respondents said that their organizations would increase AI/ML spending in 2023 due to the current economic conditions, while 32% said that they would maintain 2022 spending levels for AI/ML technology and infrastructure.
