To empower people to unlock the joy of discovery, feel the wonder of creation and better harness the world's knowledge, today we're improving how the world benefits from the web by reinventing the tools billions of people use every day, the search engine and the browser. Today, we're launching an all new, AI-powered Bing search engine and Edge browser, available in preview now at Bing.com, to deliver better search, more complete answers, a new chat experience and the ability to generate content. We think of these tools as an AI copilot for the web. "AI will fundamentally change every software category, starting with the largest category of all – search," said Satya Nadella, Chairman and CEO, Microsoft. "Today, we're launching Bing and Edge powered by AI copilot and chat, to help people get more from search and the web."

Hundreds of millions of people turn to Spotify for their music needs, healing their souls with all sorts of music. Now, Spotify founder Daniel Ek has announced his Swedish healthcare startup Neko Health, which specializes in providing body scans powered by artificial intelligence (AI). The names of the co-founders, Daniel Ek and Hjalmar Nilsonne, were mentioned in a LinkedIn post made by the company. The post also mentioned a focus on a healthcare system that helps people "stay healthy through preventive measures and early detection." The healthcare industry is fiercely competitive, especially when it comes to new technology.

It has since announced a new premium tier of Microsoft Teams - its messaging software - that will feature ChatGPT, including a feature that automatically generates notes and highlights of meetings.

Their voices were stilted and failed to sync with the movement of their mouths. Their faces had a pixelated, video-game quality and their hair appeared unnaturally plastered to the head. The captions were filled with grammatical mistakes. The two broadcasters, purportedly anchors for a news outlet called Wolf News, are not real people. They are computer-generated avatars created by artificial intelligence software.

Secret Siri shortcuts you never knew to ask until now. Many times, I think Siri just doesn't understand me. That may be true and not her fault. It turns out I may not have been asking Siri the right questions to make my life easier – until I learned these shortcuts. Putting these five Siri tricks into play will have you wishing you had known these secret Siri commands a long time ago.

"Shall we play a game?" That feels "WarGames" apropos as Google releases its own experimental chatbot called Bard as it races to battle ChatGPT, which has taken the AI world by storm. Conversation technology is on the lips of everyone in tech right now, and Google is in the awkward spot of playing the challenger. But this whole AI race could veer into SkyNet territory if we're not careful. Since ChatGPT emerged, some analysts have gone so far (much of it hyperbole) to paint a picture of doom and gloom for Google.

OpenAI's popular chatbot, ChatGPT, has been used to perform multiple tasks since its launch last November. This includes writing, helping students copy, and making children's books. Powerful chatbots with the fastest-growing user base are expected to displace many jobs. According to Business Insider, once a chatbot is interviewed by a company, Google can hire it at an entry-level level of code. Amazon employees who tested ChatGPT also spoke highly of the chatbot.

ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) language model created by OpenAI, has been making waves across the internet, leading to questions on how AI will change the way we work and write. In the latest ICFJ Pamela Howard Forum on Global Crisis Reporting webinar, Jenna Burrell, director of research at Data & Society, dove into the pros of ChatGPT and how it can be a tool for journalists, as well as its limitations and what journalists should be cautious about. One of the most important tasks for journalists is simplifying complex topics for a general audience. ChatGPT makes this easier, Burrell said. Using the language model allows journalists to plug an abstract or part of an academic article into ChatGPT and ask the software to simplify it.

You're looking at your iPhone for a particular picture of your friend, taken a couple of years ago. There are thousands of images to search through, but the Apple Photo app zeroes in on the right person, and presto! Within seconds you find the picture you're looking for. There's a lot at work behind the scenes to make this happen, including facial recognition and image analysis and automatic tagging, coming together to save effort by making inferences about what's needed or wanted, and then acting on those inferences in real time. Companies like Apple -- and Google, FedEx, Uber, Netflix -- have spent years building systems and architectures that enable user experiences to become easier, more personal and more intuitive.
