AI Top-of-Mind for 5.30.24 — Gen AI Awareness
Today: A new study on Gen AI awareness and impact, AI in the legal profession and for space medicine, content licensing, Nividia’s cloud investment, and more RAG in marketing
Top-of-mind is a recent study by the ‘Reuters Institute’ on the awareness and use of Gen AI and its potential impact. Two good charts on tool awareness and trust. One note from the survey is that, although tools like ChatGPT have wide awareness, they are not used all that often.
Some news on the copyright front, with ‘Engadget’ describing how Meta and Google are attempting to craft deals with Hollywood for the use of video content for training. The question is whether the studios will bite. The article mentions a report by Bloomberg:
According to the report, Netflix and Disney “aren’t willing to license their content” but have “expressed interest in other types of collaborations.” Warner Brothers Discovery has reportedly indicated “a willingness to license some of its programs.”
And staying with Google, thoughts by Andrew Best regarding the Google AI Overview feature and whether it poses a threat to ‘Perplexity.ai.’
Turning to the use of AI in different professions, first up are lawyers, with companies such as Harvey AI and Robin AI receiving increased interest. Good background in ‘Artificial Intelligence Survey’ on both. Next, the use, or potential use, of AI in space medicine. Bauris T writing in ‘Generative AI’ looks into the various physical and mental risks of space, the time delay for responses, and how AI can augment existing approaches. In space, no one can hear you scream!
On the back of Nividia’s numbers a few weeks back, evidence that they are putting their profits to good use. ‘The Information’ reports on their increased investment in cloud services, with a commitment of close to $9 billion for their DGX Cloud, spread across the major cloud platforms.
Finally, marketing. First, Hugo Loriot in ‘AdExchanger’ describes the use of RAG in keeping foundational models up-to-date with relevant customer data. And next is how Gen AI can augment but not replace human creation of thought leadership content. ‘Marketing Profs’ investigates what it can be good at — the development of though-provoking topics.
