AI Powering Human Potential
AI Tutors Personalized to Every Child Are Here.
Education is undergoing a monumental transformation with the advent of Synthesis Tutor, an AI tool developed by a spin-off of Elon Musk's experimental school initiative at SpaceX.
Synthesis has created a superhuman digital tutor capable of delivering personalized education. This results from collaboration with DARPA researchers (they created the first superhuman digital tutor for the US military) and leveraging the latest AI tools.
Legendary entrepreneur and venture capitalist Marc Andreessen recently wrote:
“In our new era of AI, every child will have an AI tutor that is infinitely patient, infinitely knowledgeable, infinitely helpful.”
At Blindspot AI, we are excited to be working on projects bringing AI to education. Get in touch with us to find out how AI can enhance your business too. 👉 contact@blindspot.ai.
NVIDIA: The Powerhouse of the AI Era Surpasses $1 Trillion Market Cap
NVIDIA, the semiconductor firm at the forefront of the AI revolution, has achieved a remarkable milestone by becoming the world's first chipmaker to exceed a market capitalization of $1 trillion.
Surpassing industry giants like Meta (Facebook), Tesla, and Visa in value, NVIDIA began with a visionary breakfast meeting where co-founder Jensen Huang aimed to revolutionize the gaming world with cutting-edge chips.
However, the realization of AI's potential propelled NVIDIA to new heights, capturing over 80% of the AI computing hardware market.
This AI powerhouse is quickly becoming a global leader, with its impact on the industry potentially surpassing even that of the iconic iPhone.
JPMorgan Unleashes IndexGPT: AI-Powered Investing for the Masses
JPMorgan, the global banking powerhouse, is making waves in the financial world with its plans to launch IndexGPT, an AI service similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT, explicitly designed for investors.
With ambitions to disrupt the traditional financial advisory market valued at approximately $90 billion, JPMorgan aims to provide customers with an AI-powered tool capable of analyzing and recommending a wide range of financial securities.
Leveraging cloud computing and AI technology, this move demonstrates JPMorgan's commitment to embracing the future of finance and harnessing the power of AI to serve its customers better.
JPM has already built its own ChatGPT-based large language model (LLM) to analyze Federal Reserve statements and speeches to sniff out potential trading signals.
On top of that, JPMorgan Chase boss Jamie Dimon earlier revealed that the bank has more than 300 AI use cases in production for risk management, prospecting, marketing, customer experience and fraud prevention.
Neuralink's Breakthrough: FDA Approves First-in-Human Clinical Study for Brain-Computer Interfaces
Neuralink, the neurotechnology company co-founded by Elon Musk, is on a mission to establish direct communication between the brain and computers through implantable brain-computer interfaces.
It aims to revolutionize human capabilities, treat neurological disorders, and pave the way for a symbiotic relationship between humans and artificial intelligence.
Now, Neuralink announced that it received FDA approval to launch its first-in-human clinical study. This could mean that actual humans get a Neuralink device implanted in their brains.
Neuralink's technology would mainly work through an implant called the "link" - a device about the size of five stacked coins that would be placed inside the human brain through invasive surgery. This device would then both record neural activity and stimulate the brain, promising to treat paralysis, spinal cord injuries, and various brain disorders.
350 AI Researchers and CEOs Sign a 22-word Warning on Human Extinction Risk From AI
The warning Statement on AI Risk reads: “Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.”
The Center for AI Safety, a San Francisco-based non-profit, has published this statement. 350 AI executives, researchers, engineers and CEOs have already signed it, including Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
Earlier this year, some of the same signatories backed a petition for a 6-month pause in AI research. However, many experts criticized it for overstating the risk posed by AI and for the letter's suggested solution.
The 22-word statement, therefore, seems like an effort to find (a minimum) common ground in the AI community. The goal is to open discussion and "create common knowledge of the growing number of experts and public figures who also take some of advanced AI's most severe risks seriously" (Statement on AI Risk).
However, the absence of Yann LeCun and other Meta representatives from this significant statement raises intriguing questions about their unique perspectives on the matter.
