Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg outlines AI plans for the future

☕News - On Thursday, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg gave employees a sneak peek at a series of AI tools that the company is building which could be released later this year. These tools include:

1. Chatbots for Messenger and WhatsApp that could converse using different personas. For example, a user could ask a chatbot about the weather and it could respond in the voice of a meteorologist.

2. Features for Instagram that could modify user photos via text prompts. For instance, a user could ask Instagram to make their photo look like it was taken in black and white or to add a filter to it.

3. The ability to create emoji stickers from user photos. For example, a user could take a photo of their face and then use Instagram to create an emoji sticker that they could use in their messages.

🧐What other points did Zuckerberg discuss?

He revealed that Meta is investing heavily in the development of the metaverse through the sophisticated tools of generative AI. Generative AI can generate new content, such as images, text, or music. This can be used to create realistic avatars for users, generate real environments, and create interactive objects.

Meta is also hosting a hackathon for workers to show off their AI projects. This is an opportunity for employees to showcase their skills and creativity, and to contribute to the development of the metaverse.

ChatGPT now supports iPad, Siri, and Shortcuts in new update

📻News - OpenAI’s ChatGPT app, which was released on the App Store less than a month ago, has received its first major update. The new version, released today, adds native iPad support, as well as support for using ChatGPT with Siri and Shortcuts.

Native iPad support means that ChatGPT now works on the iPad in a way that is optimized for the larger screen size and the Apple Pencil. This includes features such as split-screen multitasking and support for the Magic Keyboard.

Support for using ChatGPT with Siri and Shortcuts means that you can now use voice commands to open ChatGPT and start a conversation. You can also create custom ChatGPT Shortcuts that work with Siri. For instance, you could create a shortcut that opens ChatGPT and asks it to generate a poem.

🤔What’s more? The new update to ChatGPT also includes a drag-and-drop feature that allows users to drag individual messages from ChatGPT into other apps. It is a useful feature for users who want to share specific messages from ChatGPT with others.

In the US, ChatGPT is currently the fourth most popular free app on the App Store. It has a very high rating of 4.8 stars, which is a difficult rating for any app to achieve.

Sam Altman meets PM Modi; discusses global regulation on AI

📰News - Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, met with India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 8 June to discuss the potential applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in India. Altman said that he was impressed by India's "strong talent pool" and its "commitment to innovation."

The meeting between Sam Altman and Narendra Modi is significant because it comes at a time when India is in the process of regulating AI through the upcoming Digital Indian Bill. It is a proposed piece of legislation that would replace the outdated Information Technology (IT) Act of 2000.

The meeting between Altman and Modi could possibly lead to a number of positive outcomes, such as:

• Collaboration between India and OpenAI on a number of projects, such as developing AI for social good and training AI talent.

• Increased investment in AI research and development in India. Who knows, maybe, this could help India become a global leader in AI.

• Improved understanding of AI ethics in India. It could help to ensure that AI is used in a responsible and ethical manner.

Talking about his plan for India, Altman said that the first thing he will do in the country is to fund startups.
