The voice mode is powered by OpenAI's new GPT-4o model, which combines voice, text, and vision capabilities. To gather feedback, the company is initially launching the chatbot to a "small group of users" paying for ChatGPT Plus, but it says it will make the bot available to all ChatGPT Plus subscribers this fall. OpenAI says it will notify customers who are part of the first rollout wave in the ChatGPT app and provide instructions on how to use the new model. The new voice feature, which was announced in May, is being launched a month later than originally planned because the company said it needed more time to improve safety features, such as the model's ability to detect and refuse unwanted content. The company also said it was preparing its infrastructure to offer real-time responses to millions of users.

Slack owner Salesforce is following Microsoft and Google with the launch of AI chatbot software. Along with its own Einstein GPT, it’s partnered with OpenAI on a ChatGPT for Slack bot to handle writing assistance and summaries.

Researchers at the universities of California, Virginia, and Microsoft have devised a new poisoning attack that could trick AI-based coding assistants into suggesting dangerous code. Named'Trojan Puzzle,' the attack stands out for bypassing static detection and signature-based dataset cleansing models, resulting in the AI models being trained to learn how to reproduce dangerous payloads. Given the rise of coding assistants like GitHub's Copilot and OpenAI's ChatGPT, finding a covert way to stealthily plant malicious code in the training set of AI models could have widespread consequences, potentially leading to large-scale supply-chain attacks. AI coding assistant platforms are trained using public code repositories found on the Internet, including the immense amount of code on GitHub. Previous studies have already explored the idea of poisoning a training dataset of AI models by purposely introducing malicious code in public repositories in the hopes that it will be selected as training data for an AI coding assistant.

OpenAI's newly unveiled ChatGPT bot is making waves when it comes to all the amazing things it can do--from writing music to coding to generating vulnerability exploits, and what not. As the erudite machinery turns into a viral sensation, humans have started to discover some of the AI's biases, like the desire to wipe out humanity. Yesterday, BleepingComputer ran a piece listing 10 coolest things you can do with ChatGPT. And, that doesn't even begin to cover all use cases like having the AI compose music for you [1, 2]. Within six days of its launch, ChatGPT surpassed a million users to the extent its servers couldn't keep up.
