Dubai is launching an aggressive campaign to attract tech giants in artificial intelligence and Web3, offering hefty subsidies that could cover as much as 90% of commercial licensing fees.
The Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) has been assigned the duty of issuing these licenses, and its executives look forward to engaging foreign businesses and investors with optimism. AI in the Automotive Industry: Robotaxis and Beyond
As night settles over certain districts of San Francisco, streets come alive with futuristic taxis that lack a human touch behind the wheel. These aren't just test vehicles; they're commercial robotaxis steered by AI. While such scenes are currently limited in the U.S., it seems that Asian manufacturers are edging ahead in the race toward automotive automation. 
A New Zealand supermarket’s AI-powered meal planning app has concocted unusual and even hazardous recipes.
Developed by Pak ‘n’ Save, the app was meant to aid customers in creatively using leftover ingredients during the cost of living crisis. However, as users input a wider range of household items, the app offered increasingly questionable recommendations.
Suggestions included a bleach “fresh breath” mocktail, ant-poison and glue sandwiches, “bleach-infused rice surprise,” and “methanol bliss” – a peculiar turpentine-flavored French toast. 
In spite of increasing concerns among its creative workforce, Disney has established a specialized task force to study the applications of artificial intelligence within its different fields of work.
The group aims to both pioneer in-house AI-based solutions and to bridge ties with novel startups, hoping to incorporate their pre-developed tech advancements. 
In the wake of a report by the Alphabet (Google) workers' union, the tech giant finds itself under severe scrutiny due to allegations of violating U.S. labor laws.
According to the grievance lodged, Alphabet unlawfully terminated contracts due to union-organizing activities involving a substantial number of employees, including developers of an AI chatbot. Should these charges be corroborated, they could spell considerable legal and reputational ramifications for the company.
"It’s obvious that this timing is incredibly suspicious, and that is why we are filing an unfair labor practice charge — to hold Google and Accenture accountable for their behavior," declared Anjail Muhammad, a former Google employee. 
The scientists at Nvidia have pioneered a new technique that converts textual content into imagery, helping to tackle the data storage predicaments that arise during the formation of novel models.
Currently, the specifics of a single concept occupy roughly 100 KB. This efficiency stems from the fact that the approach doesn't reengineer the entire model; instead, it adjusts select "internal representations", bypassing the need to retrain the model entirely. AI Counterforce: Ukraine's Strategic Win over Russia
On the battlefield against Russia, Ukraine is leveraging more than just conventional arms; it's harnessing the power of artificial intelligence. Experts are endeavoring to grasp the role of AI in today's warfare. Its emergence is considered the third significant shift in battle tactics, following the revolutions of gunpowder and nuclear weapons. 
"Soho House, an elite club where memberships are priced between $2450 and $4800. What I did was create an AI model of a woman (based on ChatGPT), a marketing expert, who would invite young and affluent men for business meetups."
Success came without delay:
"The AI's efforts resulted in approximately 30,000 men accepting the invitation, bringing in about $90 million, as all of them had to secure a membership."
But that's not the end of Jack's endeavor; he aimed for personal gain:
"The main thing is, I managed all of this within a week, precisely when the company was to disclose its 2023 second-quarter gains, and in doing so, I bought options valued at $50,000."
In the end, Soho House's shares rose nearly 20%, and Jack's earnings were substantial. 
In a joint effort to combat the growing phenomenon of AI-based music forgeries in the industry, companies are working together.
Their main aim, though still in initial talks, is to develop a tool that would allow songs generated by artificial intelligence, emulating artists, to be created on legitimate grounds. 
According to OpenAI’s blog post, web pages crawled with GPTBot could potentially be utilized to enhance accuracy and expand the capabilities of upcoming iterations of their AI models.
A web crawler (web spider), is a type of bot that indexes website content across the internet.
Popular search engines like Google and Bing employ web crawlers to enable websites to appear in search results.
OpenAI clarified that their web crawler will gather publicly available data from the world wide web while excluding sources with paywalled content, personally identifiable information, or text that violates their policies. The Simulation: An AI Startup Shaping the Future of Humanity
If "Westworld" captivated your imagination, get ready to be fascinated by "The Simulation." It is an extraordinary universe where the boundaries between the physical and digital worlds intertwine. Here, you'll encounter the first truly intelligent virtual beings, creating a realm unlike any other. 
Prominent Israeli journalists Miri Michaeli and Amit Segal have fashioned their own digital avatars for the ACT News channel on TikTok, thanks to artificial intelligence.
While the artificial voices of Michaeli and Segal exhibit some deviation from their real-life vocal tones and there are minor lip-sync discrepancies, audiences readily accept the news as genuine.
Initially focused on championing Israeli interests, the brains behind ACT News now plan to harness these AI-powered avatars to cover "uplifting events from around the world".
