Forward-looking: OpenAI just introduced GPT-4o (GPT-4 Omni or "O" for short). The model is no "smarter" than GPT-4 but still some remarkable innovations set it apart: the ability to process text, visual, and audio data simultaneously, almost no latency between asking and answering, and an unbelievably human-sounding voice.
Something to look forward to: With its newly announced iPads, Apple is fast-tracking the introduction of its M4 processors to compete in the upcoming AI PC race. Although the Cupertino giant claims it has the most powerful NPU on the market, Qualcomm might disagree. Meanwhile, Intel is preparing significant AI performance upgrades over the next year, and Nvidia claims that its GPUs reign supreme in generative AI.
AI is not just changing programming, it's also altering how students learn to code
Forward-looking: For computer science students, generative AI isn't just the future – it's the present. These smart language models are already reshaping how the next generation of programmers learns to code, with teachers giving their approach a whole new spin.
Nvidia ChatRTX introduces support for additional LLMs, such as Google's Gemma and ChatGLM3. Other features include automatic speech recognition and better photo search capabilities.
What could possibly go wrong with giving AI control of nukes?
What just happened? If you think the prospect of artificial intelligence controlling fighter jets, drones, and machine gun turrets is concerning, think about the potential ramifications of AI making decisions on the deployment of nuclear weapons. The US is one of the countries that has declared control over nukes will also rest in human hands, and it wants China and Russia to make the same promise.
