🤝 Microsoft and Meta expand their AI partnership with Llama 2

Microsoft and Meta announced support for Llama 2 large language models (LLMs) on Azure and Windows, advancing AI innovation. Llama 2 enables developers to build generative AI-powered tools and experiences. Azure users can fine-tune and deploy Llama 2 models, while Windows developers can utilize it through Windows Subsystem for Linux. The collaboration emphasizes responsible AI, ensuring safer experiences for end-users with layered safety measures. The move expands Azure's AI model catalog and strengthens Microsoft's position as an AI supercomputing platform.

Is Microsoft emerging as an AI superpower, and how does this impact technology democratization? The answer lies in the ongoing development and deployment by other players like Apple, Tesla, X.ai, Anthropic, and more. While the game is still early, Microsoft's growing alliances could potentially lead to greater dominance in the AI space. The balance between fostering innovation and democratizing technology remains a key consideration as the industry evolves. As various companies continue to expand their AI initiatives, the landscape is set for exciting developments in the future.

😟 As AI porn generators get better, the stakes get higher

One of everyone’s nightmares is to appear in an erotic deepfake scene without our consent. In a world where most of us share images and videos of ourselves online on platforms owned by large tech companies that are also developing the most advanced Ai tools, these deepfakes become easier to create and distribute by bad actors.

As generative AI becomes more mainstream, AI-generated porn is also improving. Efforts to create AI porn generators have led to more realistic results. However, the proliferation of AI porn raises ethical concerns, including nonconsensual deepfakes, harassment, and child sexual abuse material. Unstable Diffusion, a group behind AI porn generators, is working to evolve into a software-as-a-service business, emphasizing customization and content moderation. Nevertheless, the ethical and legal challenges surrounding AI-generated porn remain, and the future of such platforms remains uncertain. Let’s be very aware of the good, the bad, and the horrible of tech advances and more with caution.

🏛️ AI companies commit to safeguards at the White House's request

Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, and other AI leaders have voluntarily committed to safeguards for their technology following the White House's push. Ai leaders will focus on safety, security, and social responsibility, including independent testing, investing in cybersecurity, flagging biases, and sharing safety information. 

The Biden administration aims to ensure responsible AI development without compromising public safety and values. While voluntary, this agreement reflects the challenge lawmakers face in regulating AI amidst its rapid advancements. Various bills have been proposed in Congress to address AI regulation.

🧠 Meta Skills to Learn in the Age of AI.

This newsletter aims to curate information, data, and ideas to provide a digestible version of current and future technologies. Keeping up with the rapid advancements is challenging even for experts. Top universities package existing knowledge, but no one can predict the future. However, there are fundamental skills that can help individuals continue learning, stay open-minded, and understand how things work, allowing them to connect more dots and adapt to new developments. Here is some advice and a summary of those Meta Skills.

• Avoid competing directly with AI, build skills in areas that only humans excel in, and recognize humanity as an advantage.

• Human connections in the workplace are more important than ever and the need to redefine self-conception to focus on caring, purpose, ethics, and imagination.

• Five meta-skills as a defense against obsolescence: Feeling (empathy & intuition), Seeing (systems thinking), Dreaming (applied imagination), Making (creativity & prototyping), and Learning (learning how to learn).

• The WEF predicts 10 future workspace skills highly in demand by 2025: Analytical thinking, Active learning, Complex problem-solving, Critical thinking, Creativity, Leadership, Technology use and design, Resilience, and Reasoning.

• Hands-on, face-to-face experiences are essential for learning meta-skills in the fourth industrial revolution.

• Digital Learning 2.0 focuses on applying knowledge and building skills through mobile micro-learning and participatory, personalized group experiences.

• "Learnability" is crucial for employers and individuals to thrive in the changing work landscape, learn how to learn, and never stop learning.

• Encouraging broad experiences and cultivating curiosity helps individuals stay robot-proof and adaptable to new challenges. Things like traveling, engaging in uncommon activities, improving the art of asking questions, and wondering how to improve the way we do everything are great ways to cultivate meta-skills.
