In a recent interview, historian and best-selling author Yuval Noah Harari shared powerful insights on the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and its vast implications for humanity. Harari is mostly known for his works Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind and Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, has dedicated his career to exploring the forces that have shaped human history and speculating on what lies ahead. Harari’s focus on AI is part of his ongoing interest in the ways technology might redefine humanity and our future. In this interview, he outlined the urgent need to understand AI’s capabilities, risks, and the societal shifts it is likely to trigger. Here’s a look into […]

Google has big plans for the end of 2024. The tech giant is getting ready to release a bunch of highly anticipated AI products, including Gemini 2.0 and a new AI assistant called Project Jarvis. These upcoming projects are Google’s answer to the competition from companies like Anthropic and OpenAI—and they’re aiming to reshape the way we use AI in our everyday lives. Gemini 2.0 Gemini 2.0 is set to launch this December, building on the previous versions—Gemini 1.0 Pro from late 2023 and 1.5 Pro from early 2024. While it may seem like Gemini 2.0 will only offer incremental improvements, it’s still worth keeping an eye on. Google’s adding […]

OpenAI is back in the spotlight, with news emerging about its next big project: Orion. A new Large Language Model that should be a successor of GPT-4, possibly called GPT-5. The tech world is buzzing with excitement, and while some details are still being kept under wraps, we do have enough information to piece together a good picture of what Orion might bring to the table. Key Takeaways Orion is expected to be OpenAI’s most powerful language model yet, with rumors suggesting it could be up to 100 times more powerful than GPT-4, its predecessor. It is believed that Orion could be a major step toward artificial general intelligence (AGI), […]

Today, October 22, 2024, Anthropic launched two big updates to its AI lineup: Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Claude 3.5 Haiku. These updates were expected by many in the AI space and bring some impressive improvements. In fact, we touched on some of these trends in our recent article The Future of AI: When Are ChatGPT 4.5, Claude 3.5 Opus, andGemini 2.0 Coming?. The new models offer improvements in coding and tool use, which were already strong points for Claude. But the real game-changer is the computer use feature. This experimental update lets AI interact with a computer much like a human—seeing the screen, moving the cursor, clicking, and typing. Updated Claude 3.5 Sonnet The new Claude 3.5 Sonnet is a step up from its predecessor, especially […]

Google’s NotebookLM has just made the impossible possible—turn your notes, research, or even YouTube links into a full-on AI-generated podcast. Imagine two AI hosts breaking down your content, discussing key points, and summarizing it for you while you listen on the go. It’s called Audio Overview, and it’s changing how we consume information. Here’s everything you need to know (and why you’ll want to try it ASAP). How the AI Podcast Generator Works Forget reading through endless documents. With NotebookLM, all you need to do is upload your files—whether it’s PDFs, Google Docs, or even a YouTube link—and the AI will do the rest. It creates a podcast-like conversation between two AI hosts, who […]

AI technology is evolving faster than ever, and large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini are at the center of this revolution. These AI models have already transformed the way we interact with technology—helping us write, code, create art, and solve complex problems. But the future holds even more promising developments. As we look ahead, we’re seeing fierce competition among the biggest AI players—OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. Each of these companies is racing to release the next major upgrade to their flagship models. ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini are all gearing up for new versions that could push the boundaries of what’s possible with AI. The upcoming versions, such […]

On October 13, 2024, OpenAI silently introduced an experimental framework called OpenAI Swarm. This framework is specifically for developers, and it is not currently available for regular ChatGPT users. This framework helps developers coordinate multi-agent systems effectively, allowing artificial intelligence to collaborate and solve complex tasks in new ways. Swarm makes agent interactions smoother and more intuitive, offering developers a unique opportunity to create powerful AI systems that can tackle real-world challenges autonomously. Let’s dive into what OpenAI Swarm is, how it works, and its potential impact. What Is OpenAI Swarm? OpenAI Swarm is an open-source framework that lets developers build, orchestrate, and manage multiple AI agents working together towards a shared goal. Imagine […]

Taiwan, a major player in the global tech supply chain, recently reported a sharp decline in AI-related exports, especially to the United States.  This downturn, the largest since 2015, has significant implications for investors, tech enthusiasts, and the broader economy. Let’s analyze the impact of this decline, explore the factors behind it, and discuss what it means for the future of AI as a growth driver. Taiwan’s AI Export Data Taiwan’s AI exports fell by 18.6% month-over-month, with shipments to the U.S. dropping 23.8%. This highlights the challenges facing Taiwan’s AI sector, as local media present an optimistic outlook that doesn’t align with official data from the Taiwanese Trade Ministry.  The mismatch between these perspectives underscores the need for a clear understanding of the current […]

Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere these days. The hype makes it sound like AI is about to change everything overnight—but what’s the real story? How is AI actually affecting jobs today, and what can we expect in the next decade? Let’s break it down: what’s real, what’s exaggerated, and what’s still up in the air. AI’s Current Impact on Jobs Despite all the headlines, According to MIT Economist Daron Acemoglu, AI currently impacts only about 5% of jobs. That’s right—just 5%. While the buzz makes it sound like machines are taking over, the reality is more mundane. Most AI today is still in its early stages, focusing on narrow tasks […]
