S1 Ep 63#63: Elon Musk’s Quest to Shape the Future of AI, Hands-On with Google Duet AI, Time’s Top 100 People in AI, and HubSpot’s AI Roadmap

Inside Elon Musk’s struggle for the future of AI We just got a never-before-seen look at how—and why—Elon Musk decided to go all-in on artificial intelligence. This comes from an article by Walter Isaacson in Time, and is adapted from his upcoming book Elon Musk, which publishes today! Issacson’s name may ring a bell, as he’s also the author of the Steve Jobs biography.) In the article, Issacson gives new details on the actions Elon Musk has taken to get highly involved in the future of AI. It turns out that Musk has become increasingly worried about the development of advanced AI—and considers it probable that we develop superintelligent AI that poses an existential risk to humanity if not properly shepherded into existence. Much of his discontent seems to have come from rocky relationships with Google over its acquisition of DeepMind and displeasure that OpenAI, which he co-founded, pivoted away from being a non-profit lab releasing AI advancements for everyone to use and build upon. As Isaacson details, Musk has spent years developing dedicated AI capabilities across his companies, including Neuralink, Tesla, and SpaceX. He’s also actively considering how to use Twitter’s data to fuel AI systems. Now, he’s founded an overarching AI company called xAI to tie together all these AI efforts—and tapped a former AI expert at DeepMind, Igor Babuschkin, to join the company. His goal? To ensure AI develops in a way that benefits humanity and guarantees that superintelligent AI doesn’t cause existential risks to the species at large. Musk has made some bold public statements before; it will be interesting to see what develops. We tested out Google Duet AI Google recently released Duet AI for Google Workspace, an AI copilot across popular Google apps like Docs, Sheets, Slides, Gmail, and Meet—and Marketing AI Institute took a deep dive into its capabilities. Over the last week, we’ve spent hours kicking the tires of different Duet AI capabilities across the main apps…and we definitely have some thoughts on how marketers and business leaders can take advantage of these new AI capabilities. Microsoft offers legal protection for AI copyright infringement challenges Microsoft just announced Copilot Copyright Commitment, a policy that provides legal protection for customers sued for copyright infringement when using Microsoft's AI systems like GitHub Copilot and Bing Chat. This comes as the explosion of generative AI tools has raised concerns about reproducing copyrighted material without attribution, and Microsoft aims to give customers confidence in deploying AI without worrying about copyright issues by covering any legal damages. The policy covers Microsoft AI products that use built-in guardrails, as the company faces ongoing litigation over Copilot's alleged copyright violations from scraping code. "As customers ask whether they can use Microsoft’s Copilot services and the output they generate without worrying about copyright claims, we are providing a straightforward answer: yes, you can, and if you are challenged on copyright grounds, we will assume responsibility for the potential legal risks involved," writes Microsoft. A big statement. What does that mean for businesses? Enjoy the episode…and stick around for the rapid-fire topics, including announcements at INBOUND, Time’s Top 100 People in AI, and much more.

S1 Ep 62#62: ChatGPT Enterprise, Big Google AI Updates, and OpenAI’s Combative Response to Copyright Lawsuits

Introducing ChatGPT Enterprise OpenAI announced they’re launching ChatGPT Enterprise. This is a version of ChatGPT with enterprise-grade security and privacy, unlimited higher-speed GPT-4 access, longer context windows, advanced data analysis capabilities, customization options, and more. The move appears to be a response to enterprise demand for a safe, compliant version of ChatGPT, says OpenAI. “Since ChatGPT's launch just nine months ago, we’ve seen teams adopt it in over 80% of Fortune 500 companies. We've heard from business leaders that they’d like a simple and safe way of deploying it in their organization.” Now, it looks like they’re getting just that. New Google AI Updates at Google Cloud Next 23 Google made some big AI announcements at Google Cloud Next ‘23. The event was headlined by Google’s announcement that Duet AI for Workspace, its generative AI tool in Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Chat, and Meet, is now generally available and has a no-cost trial. As part of the event, Google also announced new models in Vertex AI, their suite of APIs for foundational models. You can now access Llama 2 and Code Llama from Meta using Vertex AI—and Claude 2 is coming soon. Also mentioned, there is a new digital watermarking functionality for Imagen, Google’s image generation technology. This is powered by Google DeepMind’s SynthID and could give us a preview of how we’ll be accurately identifying AI-generated images and text in the future. OpenAI disputes authors’ claims that every ChatGPT response is a derivative work OpenAI has finally broken its silence after being sued by a number of authors, all of whom allege that ChatGPT was illegally trained on their work without permission. OpenAI is looking to dismiss the lawsuits, saying: "the use of copyrighted materials by innovators in transformative ways does not violate copyright." Unlike plagiarists who seek to directly profit off distributing copyrighted materials, OpenAI argued that its goal was "to teach its models to derive the rules underlying human language" to do things like help people "save time at work," "make daily life easier," or simply entertain themselves by typing prompts into ChatGPT. Citing a notable copyright case involving Google Books, OpenAI also reminded the court that "while an author may register a copyright in her book, the 'statistical information' pertaining to 'word frequencies, syntactic patterns, and thematic markers' in that book are beyond the scope of copyright protection."

S1 Ep 61#61: Pirated Books Are Powering Generative AI, the 2023 State of Marketing AI Report, and GPT-3.5 Fine-Tuning Is Here

Pirated books are powering generative AI The Atlantic just released a major investigative journalism piece that proves popular large language models, like Meta’s LLaMA, have been using pirated books to train their models—a fact that was previously alleged by multiple authors in multiple lawsuits against AI companies. The article states, “Upwards of 170,000 books, the majority published in the past 20 years, are in LLaMA’s training data. . . . These books are part of a dataset called “Books3,” and its use has not been limited to LLaMA. Books3 was also used to train Bloomberg’s BloombergGPT, EleutherAI’s GPT-J—a popular open-source model—and likely other generative-AI programs now embedded in websites across the internet.” According to an interview in the story with the creator of the Books3 dataset of pirated books, it appears Books3 was created with altruistic intentions. Reisner interviewed the independent developer of Books3, Shawn Presser, who said he created the dataset to give independent developers “OpenAI-grade training data,” in fear of large AI companies having a monopoly over generative AI tools. The 2023 State of Marketing AI Report findings Marketing AI Institute, in partnership with Drift, just released our third-annual State of Marketing AI Report. The 2023 State of Marketing AI Report contains responses from 900+ marketers on AI understanding, usage, and adoption. In it, we’ve got tons of insights on how marketers understand, use, and buy AI technology, the top outcomes marketers want from AI, the top barriers they face when adopting AI, how the industry feels about AI's impact on jobs and society, who owns AI within companies, and much more. Paul and Mike talk about some of the most interesting findings from the data. You can now fine-tune GPT-3.5 Turbo OpenAI just announced a big update: You can now fine-tune GPT-3.5 Turbo to your own use cases. This means you can customize the base GPT-3.5 Turbo model to your own needs, so they perform much better on use cases that may be custom to your organization’s specific needs. For instance, you might fine-tune GPT-3.5 Turbo to better understand text that’s highly specific to your industry or business. You might also fine-tune models to sound more like your brand in their outputs or remember specific examples or preferences when producing outputs, so you don’t have to spend resources and bandwidth on highly complex prompts every time you use a model. Notably, OpenAI says: “Early tests have shown a fine-tuned version of GPT-3.5 Turbo can match, or even outperform, base GPT-4-level capabilities on certain narrow tasks.” They also note fine-tuning for GPT-4 will be coming this fall. Plus…the rapid-fire topics this week are interesting, so stick around for the full episode.

S1 Ep 60#60: AI Is Going to Eliminate Way More Jobs Than Anyone Realizes, AI’s Impact on Schools, and the New York Times Might Sue OpenAI

AI is going to eliminate way more jobs than anyone realizes AI is going to eliminate way more jobs than anyone realizes, according to a new in-depth article from Business Insider. The publication says AI could disrupt over 300 million jobs worldwide but also add trillions in value to the economy. The article dives into a number of data points that support this conclusion from various sources, including the fact that non-generative and generative AI is estimated to add between $17 trillion and $26 trillion to the global economy. While it’s very hard for economists and technologists to predict exactly what happens next, the article does a solid job of curating the current thinking from some of the top minds and institutions—including AI’s impact on employment and career skills. AI’s exciting and uncertain impact on schools Kids are in full swing going back to school here in the U.S., but there are equal parts excitement and uncertainty as schools everywhere try to grapple with the chaos and opportunity provided by AI tools like ChatGPT. We’re seeing more schools release policies or guidance on the use of AI in the classroom, but those policies and guidelines are often different in tone and content. Some schools are cracking down on AI use in the classroom, and restricting how students are able to use it. Others appear to be taking a positive view of the technology, attempting to guide students and educators on how to make the most of AI tools in a sensible way. Given how important the topics are, and how much uncertainty there is around these policies, we wanted to explore them more in-depth given how quickly AI has upended education as usual. New York Times considers legal action against OpenAI as copyright tensions swirl The New York Times is exploring suing OpenAI over using its articles to train AI models like ChatGPT without permission, according to reporting from NPR, setting up a potential major copyright battle over generative AI. The Times is concerned ChatGPT competes with it by answering questions using the paper's original reporting. If AI tools replace visiting news sites, it threatens the Times' business. The Times is also concerned about how OpenAI’s systems get information by scraping the internet, and potentially copyrighted material, to train models. The Times and OpenAI have been discussing a licensing agreement for the Times’ content, but NPR seems to indicate this has gone so poorly the Times is now considering legal action. And, unsurprisingly, there’s a lot more covered. Listen to the full episode of the podcast: https://www.marketingaiinstitute.com/podcast-showcase Want to receive our videos faster?

S1 Ep 59#59: Anthropic CEO Says Human-Level AI Is 2-3 Years Away, How Hackers Are Trying to Make AI Go Rogue, and Fake AI-Generated Books on Amazon

It’s been another interesting week in the world of AI…with a few things we need to keep our eyes on. Paul and Mike break it all down—and then some—on this week’s episode of The Marketing AI Show. Anthropic CEO joins the Dwarkesh podcast to talk about the future of AI. Dario Amodei, CEO and co-founder of Anthropic (maker of the Claude 2 large language model released in July of this year), just gave a wide-ranging interview on the future of AI. The interview took place on a recent episode of the Dwarkesh Podcast (linked in the show notes). It’s a must-listen, primarily because these types of interviews aren’t all that common. Due to considerations around competition and security, the heads of major AI outfits don’t always share in-depth their views on the industry and where it’s going. Not to mention, Amodei himself has a relatively small footprint online, so hearing from him is even less common. We’d encourage you to listen to the entire episode, but on our podcast, Paul and Mike call out some big highlights that have us thinking a little differently about the future of AI. Red-teaming at DEF CON finding flaws and exploits in chatbots If you aren’t familiar with “red-teaming,” it’s a critical aspect of making generative AI models that are as safe and aligned as possible. For example, GPT-4 was red-teamed for 6 months before its release in March 2023. This week, top hackers from around the world have converged at DEF CON in Vegas to find flaws and exploits in the latest chatbots from OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and Stability. The teams working on red teaming often find these exploits by trying to “break” these systems in novel ways and by imagining creative, though nefarious, ways in which AI tools can be misused. The Washington Post shares examples of red-teaming: “AI red teams are studying a variety of potential exploits, including “prompt attacks” that override a language model’s built-in instructions and “data poisoning” campaigns that manipulate the model’s training data to change its outputs.” The results of the competition will be kept under wraps for a few months, so companies have time to address any issues highlighted by the red teaming efforts. Award-winning author finds AI-generated books written in her name Author Jane Friedman, who has written multiple books and was named a “Publishing Commentator of the Year” for her work in the publishing industry, woke up to a nightmare this week. A reader emailed her about her new book which just hit Amazon. The nightmare wasn’t due to getting a terrible review from a reader, it was due to the fact Friedman hadn’t written a new book at all. Friedman quickly discovered that half a dozen books had been published under her name that she didn’t write—and the books were AI-generated. The fake titles have since been removed from Amazon, but not before Friedman met resistance from the company. Paul and Mike explain the situation…and the implications. There are rapid-fire topics to be discussed, including Zoom backtracking since last week’s episode, and much, much more. Tune in!

S1 Ep 58#58: Big ChatGPT Updates, A New Autonomous AI Agent, Vertical-Specific LLMs, McKinsey’s State of AI Report, and New Google AI Search Features

Huge updates for ChatGPT are announced OpenAI just announced huge updates for ChatGPT that hold the potential to transform how we use this popular AI tool. The updates include a number of things including: Prompt examples: At the beginning of a new chat, you’ll now see examples to help you get started; Suggested replies: ChatGPT now suggests relevant ways to continue your conversation; GPT-4 by default: When starting a new chat as a Plus user, ChatGPT will remember your previously selected model — no more defaulting back to GPT-3.5; Upload multiple files: You can now ask ChatGPT to analyze data and generate insights across multiple files. This is available with the Code Interpreter beta for all Plus users; Stay logged in: You’ll no longer be logged out every 2 weeks; Keyboard shortcuts: Work faster with shortcuts, like ⌘ (Ctrl) + Shift + ; to copy last code block. Try ⌘ (Ctrl) + / to see the complete list. Also, missing from the update announcement but spotted by entrepreneur Neal Khosla on Twitter (and confirmed by Marketing AI Institute) it looks like the cap on messages in GPT-4 (within ChatGPT Plus) has gone away. A new, autonomous AI agent debuts from OthersideAI Matt Shumer, the CEO of OthersideAI, maker of the popular AI writing tool Hyperwrite, just debuted an AI system called “Agent-1,” a breakthrough model that can operate software like a human. Agent-1 will power the company’s Personal Assistant product, which lets you give AI commands that it can then execute autonomously using your web browser. In a demo video posted to Twitter, Shumer showed Agent-1 controlling a Google Cloud dashboard on its own. Other demo videos of Personal Assistant have shown the tool autonomously planning travel for a user and drafting and sending an email to team members on its own based on a simple command given by the user. A vertical-specific LLM launches - and is a good example of what’s possible Writer, a leading AI software tool and friend of Marketing AI Institute, has released a large language model designed specifically for use in healthcare. The model is called Palmyra-Med, and Writer says it has outperformed both GPT-4 and medically trained human test-takers on PubMedQA, the leading benchmark for biomedical question answering. Unlike a generic model like GPT-4, which knows a little bit about a lot of things and, as such, can be used for a wide variety of tasks, Palmyra-Med is specifically trained on publicly available sets of medical data. Writer clearly hopes to make generative AI much more accessible to healthcare organizations. Historically, adoption in healthcare of LLMs has been limited, given healthcare organizations’ needs for specific medical accuracy from AI tools and robust security and compliance features that many AI systems lack. How will this change AI in an industry like healthcare? There are many more topics to be discussed, including McKinsey’s annual report, and a peek inside what’s happening over at Zoom.

S1 Ep 57#57: Recap of 2023’s Marketing AI Conference (MAICON), Does Sam Altman Know What He’s Creating? and Generative AI’s Impact on Jobs

That’s a wrap on MAICON 2023, and Paul and Mike break down some common themes, key takeaways, thoughts on what’s next, and much, much more. And while our annual Marketing AI Conference was top of mind the most, a story on Sam Altman and more news on generative AI’s impact on jobs were two topics that needed to be covered. A recap of MAICON 2023 In case you’ve missed it, it’s been a huge week here at Marketing AI Institute as we just wrapped up our 2023 Marketing AI Conference (MAICON) last Friday. This event was our biggest yet by far, with 700+ amazing marketers and business leaders coming together in Cleveland (our home base) to share, collaborate, learn, and grow together. We had a spectacular lineup of speakers, 2+ days of incredible content, and world-class conversations and connections between some of the top professionals in AI, marketing, and business. Paul and Mike talked through some of the highlights. Whether you attended or weren’t able to make it, we hope this portion of the podcast creates some value for you and helps you learn more about this unique event in our industry. The Atlantic posts an interesting story on Sam Altman The Atlantic just published one of the most comprehensive deep dives into OpenAI—its history, where it stands today, and where it’s going. And this article was informed by several in-depth interviews with CEO and co-founder Sam Altman. Titled “Does Sam Altman Know What He’s Creating?”, the article looks at how OpenAI went from near-failure trying to develop rudimentary AI models to GPT-4, which Altman described to the reporter as an “alien intelligence.” This article is long but well worth reading in full. The link is below. There’s too much to summarize in this short paragraph, so be sure to tune in. You won’t regret it! Generative AI and another look at the future of work Will AI take your job? According to some new research from McKinsey, it’s complicated. McKinsey just released a report called “Generative AI and the future of work in America.” In this report, they attempt to forecast AI’s impact on employment in the U.S. Overall, McKinsey said that employment changes caused by AI that they’ve been tracking in earlier research “are happening even faster and on an even bigger scale than expected.” Some of the research’s key findings include: By 2030, activities that account for up to 30 percent of hours currently worked across the US economy could be automated—a trend accelerated by generative AI. Generative AI could enhance the way STEM, creative, and business and legal professionals work rather than eliminating a significant number of jobs outright. Automation’s biggest effects are likely to hit other job categories, which include office support, customer service, and food service employment. An additional 12 million occupational transitions may be needed by 2030. As people leave shrinking occupations, the economy could reweight toward higher-wage jobs. Workers in lower-wage jobs are up to 14 times more likely to need to change occupations than those in highest-wage positions, and most will need additional skills to do so successfully. Women are 1.5 times more likely to need to move into new occupations than men. The United States will need workforce development on a far larger scale as well as more expansive hiring approaches from employers. Employers will need to hire for skills and competencies rather than credentials, recruit from overlooked populations (such as rural workers and people with disabilities), and deliver training that keeps pace with their evolving needs. There’s plenty more data in this research that is worth checking out, and this is a segment in the podcast worth listening to.

S1 Ep 59#56: Meta’s Incredible New (Free!) ChatGPT Competitor, Elon Musk Changes Twitter to X, GPT-4 Might Be Getting Dumber, and AI Can Now Build Entire Websites

With MAICON 2023 just around the corner, Paul Roetzer and Mike Kaput break down very different directions of AI this week. From incredible to dumb, from thorough to questionable, there’s lots to break down. Meta’s incredible new (free!) ChatGPT competitor is here Meta’s latest announcement has big implications for the world of AI. The company announced that its new, powerful large language model, LLaMA 2, will be available free of charge for research and commercial use. The model is “open source,” which means anyone can copy it, build on top of it, remix it, and use it however they see fit. This puts an extremely powerful large language model into anyone’s hands—and gives them the appropriate permissions to build products with it. But that’s not all. It signals a major strategic direction that Meta is taking to compete with other AI companies—one that could have an effect on AI safety. Some major AI players place serious restrictions on the use and release of their models, often due to concerns about how models might be misused if they’re put in the wrong hands without guardrails. Meta is taking the opposite approach, believing that getting the technology into anyone and everyone’s hands will make the technology better much faster—and more quickly help Meta reveal and address issues that contribute to safety, like the use of the model to produce misinformation or toxic content. Will this new approach be successful? Elon Musk changes Twitter to X Musk is in this news again. As of the morning of the podcast recording (July 24, 2023), he has formally rebranded Twitter as X. The platform formerly known as Twitter hasn’t changed much aside from its logo, but it seems like Musk and leadership are viewing it as just one piece of a much larger entity. In a somewhat cryptic set of tweets, CEO Linda Yaccarino said: “X is the future state of unlimited interactivity – centered in audio, video, messaging, payments/banking – creating a global marketplace for ideas, goods, services, and opportunities. Powered by AI, X will connect us all in ways we’re just beginning to imagine.” In the past couple weeks, Musk has also announced xAI, his new company dedicated to building “good” artificial general intelligence and competing with OpenAI, among others. Time will tell what this means for the future of the brand. Meta, Google, and OpenAI Make AI Responsibility Promises to the White House Seven major AI companies—Amazon, Anthropic, Google, Inflection, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI—have all agreed to safety commitments proposed by the White House. The commitments include promises to engage in “security testing” carried out by independent experts, using digital watermarking to identify AI-generated vs. human-generated content, testing for bias and discrimination in AI systems, and several other safety-related actions. It should be noted these are simply voluntary commitments publicly announced by the companies and the White House, not any type of formal regulation or legislation. We discuss this on this week’s episode and will keep our eyes on this for you. Tune into the last pre-MAICON 2023 episode! We’ll be back next week with more news, more insights, and lots of MAICON takeaways to share with you all.

S1 Ep 55#55: AI-Powered Content Strategy, Claude 2 from Anthropic, and Major Google Bard Updates

AI-Powered Content Strategy In exciting news, this podcast, The Marketing AI Show, recently surpassed 100,000 downloads. That’s exciting and a huge milestone for us, but the story is the content strategy…and AI’s role in it. Prior to October 2022, the podcast format was interview-style, where Paul was vetting experts, scheduling interviews, and more, causing inconsistency. This led to the podcast being an afterthought in the marketing strategy. Then in October, we put the weekly podcast at the center of our content strategy. Today, each episode averages more than 4,500 downloads. To put that in perspective, we had 4,800 downloads the entire year of 2022! Plus, we’ve heard from listeners all over the world about how the podcast has impacted them, and how they’ve come to rely on it for their weekly AI news. In this podcast episode, we’re going to talk a bit about how the podcast became key to our content strategy and how AI makes it possible to efficiently produce high-quality episodes that perform. Claude 2 from Anthropic Major AI company Anthropic just announced the release of Claude 2, its new foundational AI model. Similar to ChatGPT, you can engage with Claude 1 and now Claude 2 through natural language prompts to perform a range of functions, like generating text, answering questions, and producing code. Claude 2 has improved reasoning from Claude 1, and even scores above the 90th percentile on the GRE reading and writing exam. Some of the changes are impressive, including most notably, the number of tokens you can input into Claude 2 is massive. You can input up to 100,000 tokens into a single prompt, which, says Anthropic, “means that Claude can work over hundreds of pages of technical documentation or even a book.” Is 100,000 a lot? Yes…The Great Gatsby would be about 72,000 tokens! There are also so many other great benefits and enhancements. Paul and Mike break them down in the 2nd story of the podcast. Major Google Bard updates Google just announced a ton of new features for Bard, its ChatGPT-like conversational agent. Bard is now available in 40 languages and many more countries than before, including the European Union. Some of the other major updates include changing the tone and style of Bard's responses to five different options, you can drop images into it and have Bard perform a range of tasks related to the image, you can share Bard’s responses with others via shareable links, and more. Tune in to the podcast to hear more of the updates both from a functionality as well as a UX standpoint. We cover a lot of ground this week, and per usual, it was another big week in AI news stories, so be sure to tune in!

S1 Ep 54#54: ChatGPT Code Interpreter, the Misuse of AI in Content and Media, and Why Investors Are Betting on Generative AI

As generative AI continues to improve, iterate, and integrate, there are news stories to discuss and advancements to break down. That’s why we’re happy Paul Roetzer and Mike Kaput are back for episode 54 of The Marketing AI Show. ChatGPT Code Interpreter available for all OpenAI announced on July 6 that ChatGPT’s Code Interpreter feature will be made available to all ChatGPT Plus users. Previously, only select users received access after signing up for a waitlist. Code Interpreter gives ChatGPT the ability to run code, use files you upload to produce outputs, analyze data, create charts, and perform sophisticated math. This gives ChatGPT the ability to do all sorts of data analysis and code-dependent tasks it couldn’t do well before. People are already using Code Interpreter in interesting ways including customer segmentation, data visualization, and data analysis. The misuse of AI in content and media A handful of stories in the past several weeks are shedding light on the dangers and misuse of AI in content and media. A report from misinformation tracking site NewsGuard shows that content farms using AI to generate hundreds of low-quality articles a day are raking in programmatic ad dollars—and hundreds of brands are unwittingly supporting them. And otherwise legitimate media sites are following their lead. Tech site Gizmodo recently started publishing AI-generated content and the results were problematic. One article on Star Wars movies was riddled with inaccuracies and prompted an outcry from Gizmodo staff, who said these types of stories were “actively hurting our reputations and credibility” and showed “zero respect” for journalists. Last, but certainly not least, news came out of a leaked email from German tabloid Bild detailing how the publication plans to replace over a hundred jobs with AI. Investors are betting on generative AI. Why and how? Research recently published by McKinsey estimates that generative AI could add the equivalent of $2.6 trillion to $4.4 trillion of annual value to the global economy. The firm estimates that about 75% of this value will accrue through four use cases: customer operations, marketing and sales, software engineering, and R&D.The impact will be felt across all industries and sectors, but McKinsey specifically points out that banking, high-tech, and life sciences could see the largest impact. The full research report is well worth a read. But the larger point here is that the possible market impact of generative AI is massive. And investors are clearly responding to that, having just written some huge checks to leading generative AI companies. One big example: Inflection AI announced it raised $1.3 billion in a fresh fundraising round led by Microsoft, LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, Bill Gates, and NVIDIA.Inflection AI has been around just over a year and, in that time, the company has built one of the world’s most sophisticated large language models, which powers Pi, its personal AI assistant product. The company is also the “largest AI cluster in the world comprising 22,000 NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs.” It’s also important to note that Inflection AI’s CEO and co-founder Mustafa Suleyman also co-founded DeepMind, which was acquired by Google and forms the backbone of their AI work. Another example: At the same time, Runway, which builds generative AI tools for creators, announced a $141 million extension to its Series C funding round from companies like Google, NVIDIA, and Salesforce Ventures.

S1 Ep 53#53: Salesforce AI Cloud, White House Action on AI, AI Writes Books in Minutes, ChatGPT in Cars, and More

The band is back together! After Episode 51’s Year (so far) in Review and Episode 52’s Top AI Questions episodes, Paul Roetzer and Mike Kaput are back to the podcast format you’re used to. Well, sort of. Because there’s a bit of news to catch up on, many topics that took place over the past few weeks were covered in this episode. We hope you enjoy it! Salesforce Unveils AI Cloud Offering Salesforce just launched “AI Cloud,” which gives enterprises the ability to safely use enterprise-ready AI. AI Cloud is a platform that hosts the company's AI-powered products, such as Einstein, Slack, and Tableau, as well as large-language models from other providers like Amazon Web Services. The firm aims to cater to enterprises by ensuring data privacy and preventing AI models from retaining sensitive customer information. According to Reuters, Salesforce says the AI Cloud “starter pack” will be available for $360,000 annually, the company said. The U.S. Senate Gets Up to Speed on AI Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced a series of educational sessions on artificial intelligence for senators as Congress explores potential regulations for the technology. The first session, led by MIT professor and machine learning expert Antonio Torralba, aims to provide a general overview of AI and its current capabilities. The initiative underscores the importance of lawmakers understanding AI, its implications, and its challenges in order to create legislation that both fosters its potential for human prosperity and mitigates its risks. This seems like a positive step forward, but is it surprising that the Senate is only just now starting to educate its members on AI’s basics? In addition, President Biden and his advisors have been leveraging AI technology, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, and have moved AI from a peripheral concern to a central priority in policy development, recognizing its potential for both tremendous benefits and risks. The White House is acting with urgency to establish a regulatory framework for AI through executive orders and new policies, aiming to maximize positive impact and mitigate unintended consequences, with a focus on areas such as cybersecurity, consumer protection, and economic transformation. Hyperwrite’s Matt Shumer announces GPT Author What if we told you AI can now write entire novels in minutes based on an initial text prompt? Matt Shumer, co-founder and CEO of OthersideAI, which makes the AI writing tool, HyperWrite, recently announced an open-source project called GPT Author. The project strings together a chain of AI systems to write an entire book for you in minutes, complete with cover art and easy export to the Kindle store—all based on a description of the high-level details you want to see in your novel. Tune in for his experience and Paul’s reaction. This summary only scratches the surface of the topics covered, so be sure to tune in!

S1 Ep 50#50: Prompt Engineering Best Practices from OpenAI, How GPT-4 Could Reshape Healthcare, and The Hidden Costs of AI Adoption

Thanks for joining us for episode 50! While AI breakthroughs slowed down this week, insights, best practices, and conversations continued. Paul Roetzer and Mike Kaput catch up on the artificial intelligence news impacting marketing and business leaders. OpenAI dropped chat prompt suggestions Logan Kilpatrick from OpenAI gave us helpful tips on crafting prompts. Quite simply (or so it seems), Kilpatrick offers six strategies for getting better results: write clear instructions, provide reference text, split complex tasks into simpler subtasks, give GPTs time to "think", use external tools, and test changes systematically. Is it that easy? What has OpenAI learned, and how can marketers follow these strategies while still differentiating themselves? Could generative AI transform healthcare? Could generative AI transform healthcare for the better? One expert thinks so. Dr. Robert M. Wachter, professor, and chair of the Department of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, outlines why in a new essay commissioned by Microsoft. In it, Dr. Wachter says he’s optimistic that generative AI systems like GPT-4 have the potential to reshape how healthcare works. This article caught Paul’s attention, and Paul and Mike break it down on the podcast, discussing not only marketing but also better patient outcomes and a reduction in healthcare costs. High costs and AI adoption According to a new report from The Information: “More than 600 of Microsoft’s largest customers, including Bank of America, Walmart, Ford, and Accenture, have been testing the AI features in its Microsoft Office 365 productivity apps, and at least 100 of the customers are paying a flat fee of $100,000 for up to 1,000 users for one year, according to a person with direct knowledge of the pilot program.” The proposed pricing models for AI features will impact business leaders' decision-making regarding AI adoption, especially small businesses.

S1 Ep 49#49: Google AI Ads, Microsoft AI Copilots, Cities and Schools Embrace AI, Top VC’s Best AI Resources, Fake AI Pentagon Explosion Picture, and NVIDIA’s Stock Soars

Google Introduces AI-Powered Ads Google just announced new AI features within Google Ads, from landing page summarizations to generative AI helping with relevant and effective keywords, headlines, descriptions, images, and other assets for your campaign. Microsoft Rolls Out AI Copilots and AI Plugins Two years ago, Microsoft rolled out its first AI “copilot,” and this year, Microsoft introduced other copilots across core products and services, including AI-powered chat in Bing, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and others across products like Microsoft Dynamics and Microsoft Security. Cities and Schools Embrace Generative AI We see some very encouraging action from schools and cities regarding generative AI. According to Wired, New York City Schools have announced they will reverse their ban on ChatGPT and generative AI. Additionally, the City of Boston's chief information officer sent guidelines to every city official encouraging them to start using generative AI to understand its potential. AI Resources from Andreessen Horowitz Andreessen Horowitz recently shared a curated list of resources, their “AI Canon,” they’ve relied on to get smarter about modern AI. It includes papers, blog posts, courses, and guides that have had an outsized impact on the field over the past several years. DeepMind’s AI Risk Early Warning System In DeepMind’s latest paper, they introduce a framework for evaluating novel threats–misleading statements, biased decisions, or repeating copyrighted content–co-authored with colleagues from a number of universities and organizations. OpenAI’s Thoughts on the Governance of Superintelligence Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, and Ilya Sutskever recently published their thoughts on the governance of superintelligence. They say that proactivity and mitigating risk are critical, alongside special treatment and coordination of superintelligence. White House Takes New Steps to Advance Responsible AI Last week, the Biden-Harris Administration announced new efforts that “will advance the research, development, and deployment of responsible artificial intelligence (AI) that protects individuals’ rights and safety and delivers results for the American people.” This includes an updated roadmap and a new report on the risks and opportunities related to AI in education. Fake Image of Pentagon Explosion Causes Dip in the Stock Market A fake image purporting to show an explosion near the Pentagon was shared by multiple verified Twitter accounts on Monday, causing confusion and leading to a brief dip in the stock market. Based on the actions and reactions of the day, are we unprepared for this technology? Meta’s Massively Multilingual Speech Project Meta announces their Massively Multilingual Speech (MMS) project, combining self-supervised learning, a new dataset that provides labeled data for over 1,100 languages and unlabeled data for nearly 4,000 languages, as well as publicly sharing models and code so that others in the research community can build upon Meta’s work. More Funding Rounds Anthropic raised $450 million in Series C funding. Figure Raises $70M Series A to accelerate robot development, fund manufacturing, design an end-to-end AI data engine, and drive commercial progress. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has raised $115 million in a Series C funding round for Worldcoin which aims to distribute a crypto token to people "just for being a unique individual." NVIDIA Stock Soars on historic earnings report Nvidia’s stock blew past already-high expectations last Wednesday in its earnings report. Dependency on Nvidia is so widespread that Big Tech companies have been working on developing their own competing chips, much like Apple spent years developing its own chips so it could avoid having to rely on — and pay — other companies to outfit its devices.

S1 Ep 48#48: Artificial Intelligence Goes to Washington, the Biggest AI Safety Risks Today, and How AI Could Be Regulated

AI came to Washington in a big way. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman appeared before Congress for his first-ever testimony, speaking at a hearing called by Senators Richard Blumenthal and Josh Hawley. The topic? How to oversee and establish safeguards for artificial intelligence. The hearing lasted nearly three hours and focused largely on Altman, though Christina Montgomery, an IBM executive, and Gary Marcus, a leading AI expert, academic, and entrepreneur, also testified. During the hearing, Altman covered a wide range of topics, including a discussion of different risks posed by generative AI, what should be done to address those risks, and how companies should develop AI technology. Altman even suggested that AI companies be regulated, possibly through the creation of one or more federal agencies and/or some type of licensing requirement. The hearing was divisive. Some experts applauded what they saw as much-needed urgency from the federal government to tackle important AI safety issues. Others criticized the hearing for being far too friendly, citing worries that companies like OpenAI are angling to have undue influence over the regulatory and legislative process. An important note: This hearing appeared to be informational in nature. It was not called because OpenAI is in trouble. And it appears to be the first of many such hearings and committee meetings on AI that will happen moving forward. In this episode, Paul and Mike tackled the hearing from three different angles as our three main topics today, as well as talked about a series of lower-profile government meetings that occurred. First, they do a deep dive into what happened, what was discussed, and what it means for marketers and business leaders. Then they took a closer look at the biggest issues in AI safety that were discussed during the hearing and that the hearing is designed to address. At one point during the hearing, Altman said "My worst fear is we cause significant harm to the world.” Lawmakers and the AI experts at the hearing cited several AI safety risks they’re losing sleep over. Overarching concerns included election misinformation, job disruption, copyright and licensing, generally harmful or dangerous content, and the pace of change. Finally, Paul and Mike talked through the regulatory measures proposed during the hearing and what dangers there are, if any, of OpenAI or other AI companies tilting the regulatory process in their favor. Some tough questions were raised in the process. Senate Judiciary Chair Senator Dick Durbin suggested the need for a new agency to oversee the development of AI, and possibly an international agency. Gary Marcus said there should be a safety review, similar to what is used with the FDA for drugs, to vet AI systems before they are deployed widely, advocating for what he called a “nimble monitoring agency.” On the subject of agencies, Senator Blumenthal cautioned that the agency or agencies must be well-resourced, with both money and the appropriate experts. Without those, he said, AI companies would “run circles around us.” As expected, this discussion wasn’t without controversy. Tune in to this critically important episode of The Marketing AI Show.

S1 Ep 47#47: Huge Google AI Updates, Teaching Large Language Models to Have Values, and How AI Will Impact Productivity and Labor

Another week of big news from Google Google just announced major AI updates, including an AI makeover of search. The updates were announced at Google’s I/O developers conference and some of the more important updates were discussed on the podcast. A new next-generation large language model called PaLM 2, “excels at advanced reasoning tasks, including code and math, classification and question answering, translation and multilingual proficiency better than our previous state-of-the-art LLMs.” Next, an AI makeover of search through Google’s “Search Generative Experience” will deliver conversational results to search queries. This will become available to users who sign up for Google’s Search Labs sandbox. Additional improvements include new AI writing tools for Gmail, the removal of the waitlist for Bard, and the ability to create full documents, generate slides, and fill in spreadsheets across tools like Docs, Slides, and Sheets. What’s next for Claude Anthropic, a major AI player and creator of the AI assistant “Claude,” just published research that could have a big impact on AI safety. In the research, the company outlines an approach they’re using “Constitutional AI,” or the act of giving a large language model “explicit values determined by a constitution, rather than values determined implicitly via large-scale human feedback.” This concept is designed to address the limitations of large-scale human feedback, which traditionally determines the values and principles of AI behavior. It aims to enhance the transparency, safety, and usefulness of AI models while reducing the need for human intervention. The constitution of an AI model consists of a set of principles that guide its outputs, and in Claude’s case, encourages the model to avoid toxic or discriminatory outputs, refrain from assisting in illegal or unethical activities, and aim to be helpful, honest, and harmless. Anthropic emphasizes that this living document is subject to revisions and improvements based on further research and feedback. More on the economy and knowledge workers In a recent Brookings Institution article titled, Machines of Mind: The Case for an AI-powered Productivity, the authors explore the potential impact of AI, specifically large language models (LLMs), on the economy and knowledge workers. The authors predict LLMs will have a massive impact on knowledge work in the near future. They say: “We expect millions of knowledge workers, ranging from doctors and lawyers to managers and salespeople to experience similar ground-breaking shifts in their productivity within a few years, if not sooner.” The productivity gains from AI will be realized directly through output created per hour worked (i.e. increased efficiency), and indirectly through accelerated innovation that drives future productivity growth. The authors say they broadly agree with a recent Goldman Sachs estimate that AI could raise global GDP by a whopping 7%. But there’s more to it, so be sure to tune in.
