HIGHLIGHTS
META

The new system combines a non-invasive brain scanning method called magnetoencephalography (MEG) with an AI system.
This AI system is designed to decode images from human brain waves in real time.
Why it’s important:
Essentially, this AI system is trained to read your brain activity. Think of all the possible applications when this system is improved upon:
Help people who have lost the ability to speak
Learn more about the mysteries of the mind
Visualizing your thoughts more efficiently than ever
NVIDIA
NVIDIA’s Eureka AI Agent surpasses expectations using LLMs to train robots to accomplish complex human tasks such as spinning pens, opening drawers and playing catch with a ball.
Why it’s important:
Eureka has outperformed human-written programs on more than 80% of tasks.
Eureka summarizes its stats and results to continuously self-improve.
This is a huge milestone as we're now seeing robots being taught by AI and learning to do human functions - all while the AI is continuously self-improving which could lead to an exponential growth.
APPLE

Apple is used to being a leader in tech industries, but for the first time Apple is anxious about the AI market where they’ve fallen behind other players like Google and Microsoft, and they're now putting on nitro boosters and playing catch up.
Apple’s response is to build generative AI into their products including a new version of Siri powered by LLM, AI features in the next iOS, and auto-generated playlists in Apple Music,
Why it’s important:
Apple, which is almost worth $3 Trillion, was caught off guard by the AI space and is trying to compete with some of its rivals in the tech industry. Another example of how AI can shift the narrative and distrupt industries.
SECURITY & AI

North Korea is reportedly escalating its cyber capabilities by harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI), posing a significant risk for enterprises worldwide.
Other actors have also reportedly been trying to use AI models to help accelerate writing malicious software and finding systems to exploit.
Why it’s important:
Malevolent actors in the AI space was always inevitable - the challenge is to increase AI's defensive capabilities against cyberthreats.
Cybersecurity grows more important each day.
BUSINESS & AI

Surprising it took this long, AI education is finally being integrated into education programs and curriculum.
Business schools are offering AI-related coursework and specialized AI-focused MBA programs.
Why it’s important:
AI knowledge and skills will be necessary for everyone in the future, whether you are a leader, manager, entrepreuneur or employee. So it’s crucial for you to start learning today - Thankfully, you’re one step ahead than most by subscribing to this newsletter!
OPENAI
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman
AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) is a system that is able to perform intellectual tasks that humans can complete, but those intellectual parameters are still to be clearly defined.
The AI effect shows how difficult it is to define intelligence, and how the term is used differently in different contexts, such as behavior or cognition.
Why it’s important: AI could potentially be the most important tool created by humans since the dawn of time, but as it continues to disrupt our professional and personal lives, it’s crucial to remember AI is a tool, not a person.
