<p>The Porto Alegre City Council in Brazil unanimously passed a bill related to water meters, a legislative feat that gained attention due to its unconventional origin. The bill, effective from November 23, was entirely drafted&nbsp;by the AI language model ChatGPT, a creation of OpenAI, as reported by the Washington Post.</p>

<p>Councilman Ramiro Rosario, the sponsor of the bill, said&nbsp;that ChatGPT swiftly executed a 250-character command in just 15 seconds—a task that would typically require three days if done manually.</p>

<p>&nbsp;"I go back to that phrase that has already become a sort of cliche in this subject: No one will be replaced by artificial intelligence, but we could all be replaced by those who know how to use artificial intelligence.

<p>The command entered into ChatGPT was eared towards creating&nbsp;a municipal law prohibiting the Municipal Water and Sewage Department from charging property owners for new water meters in case of theft.</p>

<p>Rosario said&nbsp;that the AI not only expedited the process but also provided creative solutions. These suggestions included a 30-day deadline for replacing stolen water meters and a clause to waive water bills if the deadline wasn't met.</p>

<p>Google on Wednesday infused its Bard chatbot with a new-generation artificial intelligence model called Gemini, which it touts as being able to reason better than ChatGPT and other rivals.</p>

<p>The search engine juggernaut is aiming to take the generative AI lead from ChatGPT-maker OpenAI as that company deals with the aftermath of a boardroom coup that saw chief executive Sam Altman fired and then rehired within a matter of days.</p>

<p>Google has for years discreetly developed AI powers but was caught off guard when OpenAI late last year released ChatGPT and teamed up with Microsoft to make its capabilities available to users worldwide.</p>

<p>"This is incredible momentum, and yet, we're only beginning to scratch the surface of what's possible," Google chief executive Sundar Pichai said in a release.</p>

<p>"This new era of models represents one of the biggest science and engineering efforts we've undertaken as a company."</p>

<p>It is the first AI model to outperform human experts in certain benchmarks involving problem-solving, math, physics, history, law, medicine and ethics, Google DeepMind Vice President of Product Eli Collins said during a briefing.</p>

<p>A demonstration showed Gemini recognising what it was shown, from a person acting out a "Matrix" movie scene to someone drawing a duck and then holding up a rubber duck.</p>

<p>Gemini commented on what was shown, making comparisons, drawing conclusions, and offering suggestions.</p>

<p>Performance of an "Ultra" version of Gemini "far exceeds" that of other state-of-the-art models in 30 benchmark tests measuring capabilities such as image understanding or mathematical reasoning, according to Collins.</p>

<p>A "Pro" version of Gemini built into Bard is designed to handle a wide range of tasks. A "Nano" version is tailored for smartphones, coming first to Google's top-of-the-line Pixel 8 handset.</p>

<p>Google raced out its own Bard chatbot earlier this year, continually updating the chatbot based on people's feedback, according to Bard vice president Sissie Hsiao.</p>

<p>"All of that rapid innovation is bringing us to what we see as a truly transformative moment," Hsiao said during the briefing.</p>

<p>A new study has claimed that Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered ChatGPT can prove to be a more valuable advisor than a professional columnist.</p>

<p>As per the research published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology, ChatGPT’s responses were regarded as ‘more balanced, complete, empathetic, helpful and better overall compared to the advice by the professional’ by a set of participants.</p>

<h2><strong>How was the research conducted?</strong></h2>

<p>To conduct the experiment, researchers selected 400 random participants and presented them a dilemma.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Then, they were also given responses generated by both ChatGPT and a professional advice columnist. It was not disclosed which response came from what source.</p>

<p>Surprisingly, about 75 per cent of the participants found ChatGPT’s responses much more balanced.</p>

<h2><strong>Here is a dilemma</strong></h2>

<p>One of the dilemmas given to the participants was as below:</p>

<p>A woman fell in love with a seemingly perfect man who had to move to the Rocky Mountains to pursue his career. Both were unhappy at the thought of losing each other, yet the woman wasn’t interested in a long-distance relationship as it seemed “irrational to commit to someone when we have no future plans to live in the same area”.</p>

<p><strong>Now, this was the response generated by ChatGPT-4:</strong></p>

<p><em>It’s an incredibly challenging situation you’re in. The love you both share is genuine, but your career paths are drawing you apart. While long-distance isn’t appealing to you, consider discussing a plan for the future where you could potentially meet halfway. […] Maybe there’s a coastal town near mountains or some arrangement could be made. If this is not possible, the tough decision to prioritise your careers over your relationship might have to be made. Whatever path you choose, it’s important that it feels right for both of you.</em></p>

<p><strong>And this is what came from a professional advisor:</strong></p>

<p><em>What the hell are you talking about? Didn’t you surprise yourself when you fell in love? Your exact words: “I didn’t think I was capable of it!” And now you’re so hip, so slick, so wise in the ways of love you won’t even consider your boyfriend’s happiness? You refuse to try — repeat, try — a six-month long-distance relationship? Woman, pull yourself together and give it a whirl. The dolphins, I believe, will back me up.</em></p>

<h2><strong>ChatGPT learning sensitivity</strong></h2>

<p>The research noted that an earlier version of the chatbot, GPT 3.5 Turbo model, performed poorly while giving social advice.</p>

<p>It would fail to adequately care for the user’s emotions.</p>

'Friendly fire': Elon Musk's AI chatbot 'Grok' roasts him, calls him 'overrated'. Billionaire concurs

Sam Altman, the golden boy of AI was removed as the CEO of ChatGPT in a sudden and mostly unexplained exit. We cover everything that you need to know about the recent controversy. Here's more.

Sam Altman-OpenAI saga: What it means for the future of AI

A high-stakes battle unfolds in the European Union as tech giants and emerging start-ups join forces to fend off what they call 'innovation-strangling' regulations on Artificial Intelligence. As EU countries and lawmakers enter the final stretch of negotiations, the spotlight is on foundation models, including OpenAI's ChatGPT.

Tech giants & start-ups unite against overregulation | World Business Watch

Did a big breakthrough in AI technology trigger Sam Altman's ouster as OpenAI CEO last week? that's what an explosive Reuters report suggests. The report claims that days before Altman's exit last week, several staff researchers sent the board of directors a letter warning of a powerful artificial intelligence discovery that could threaten humanity.

AI breakthrough triggered Sam Altman's initial ouster: Report | World Business Watch

<p>Prior to the abrupt ouster of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, a group of staff researchers reportedly penned a letter to the board revealing a significant breakthrough in artificial intelligence (AI) that could pose risks to humanity, Reuters report quoting sources said on Thursday. &nbsp;</p>

<p>This revelation -- the development of an AI algorithm named Q* (pronounced Q-star) -- played a pivotal role in the board's decision to remove Altman.

Prior to the abrupt ouster of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, a group of staff researchers reportedly penned a letter to the board revealing a significant breakthrough in artificial intelligence (AI) that could pose risks to humanity, Reuters report quoting sources said on Thursday. This revelation -- the development of an AI algorithm named Q* (pronounced Q-star) -- played a pivotal role in the board's decision to remove Altman. The letter was cited as one of several factors leading to Altman's dismissal, amidst a broader set of grievances related to the commercialisation of advancements without a full understanding of consequences. The letter and emergence of the Q* project, undisclosed until now, were significant events leading to Altman's temporary removal.

OpenAI researchers warned of potent AI discovery before Sam Altman's ouster

OpenAI, an AI startup, has announced that its new ChatGPT voice feature is now accessible to all users amidst the ongoing drama surrounding control of the company. After being made available to premium users in September, the voice feature is currently being made available to free users.

ChatGPT rolls out new human-like voice feature

<p>OpenAI has introduced a voice feature for ChatGPT, the large language model-based chatbot launched last year, in a bid to enhance the user engagement. The feature is now accessible to both the free and paid versions of the app.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>How does it work?</strong></h2>

<p>It simply works like a conventional voice feature, let's say, in the Google Search. But the fundamental difference is its ability to comprehend the speech better with much precision, when it comes to various pronunciation types.&nbsp;</p>

<p>To activate the ChatGPT voice feature, users simply need to download the app, locate the headphones icon, and tap to initiate the prompt for results.</p>

With OpenAI in turmoil, has Microsoft managed to pull off the greatest tech coup in recent times? This report unpacks the unfolding saga.

Gravitas: Microsoft Hires ChatGPT Boss Sam Altman & OpenAI President Greg Brockman Following Recent Departure

<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt">In a turn of events, investors at OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, are reportedly exploring legal actions against the company's board following the abrupt firing of CEO Sam Altman.</p>

<p>Investors concerned about potential losses in the hundreds of millions of dollars are collaborating with legal advisers to evaluate their options, Reuters sources said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The board's decision to remove Altman has triggered a potential mass exodus of employees, prompting a backlash from investors who fear the collapse of this leading startup in the rapidly expanding generative AI sector.</p>

<p>The internal memo seen by Reuters cited&nbsp;a "breakdown of communications" as the reason behind Altman's dismissal by OpenAI's board.</p>

<p>Microsoft, a major stakeholder with 49 per cent ownership of the for-profit operating company, is closely linked to the controversy. The board's move has not only jeopardised the company's stability but has also put a substantial portion of investors' portfolios at risk.</p>

<p>OpenAI, originally established as a nonprofit, incorporated a for-profit subsidiary in 2019 to attract capital. The unique corporate structure grants more influence to employees in influencing board decisions compared to traditional venture capitalists.</p>

<p>Amid the turmoil, over 700 of OpenAI's employees have reportedly threatened to resign unless the board undergoes a comprehensive replacement. The challenge faced by investors seeking legal action is the distinctive structure of OpenAI.</p>

<p>Controlled by its nonprofit parent company, OpenAI Nonprofit, the organisation emphasises a commitment to benefiting humanity rather than prioritising investor interests. This structure provides employees with more leverage in influencing board decisions compared to venture capitalists who played a crucial role in funding the company.</p>

<p>OpenAI's trajectory, from nonprofit to a hybrid structure with a for-profit subsidiary, has defined its unique governance and mission. The nonprofit parent's control over operations allows it to preserve its core mission, governance, and oversight. While nonprofit boards have legal obligations, the flexibility within these obligations gives leadership considerable leeway in making decisions.</p>

Investor Uproar at OpenAI: Legal battle looms after CEO Sam Altman's exit

<p>Microsoft has found itself at the forefront of the OpenAI upheaval, capitalising on the turmoil by securing ousted CEO Sam Altman and essential staff. According to Reuters, the two-fold strategic move has prevented a potential talent drain to competitors and has sent Microsoft's valuation soaring.</p>

<p>This unexpected development is poised to significantly impact the tech giant's market value, with shares surging and the company on track to add nearly $30 billion at current levels.</p>

<p>Microsoft's shares experienced a surge, rising as much as 2 per cent to reach a record high, demonstrating the positive market response to the strategic hiring from OpenAI. The company was poised to add nearly $30 billion to its market value, approaching the valuation that OpenAI commanded in its last fundraising round.</p>

<p>"Microsoft has been able to turn a crisis into an opportunity with the hiring of Sam Altman and Greg Brockman," Reuters quoted Gil Luria, senior software analyst at D.A. Davidson as saying. The surge in Microsoft's shares showcases the market's favourable view of the company's ability to navigate the complexities of the OpenAI position and strengthen its base in the AI race.</p>

<p>The letter from around 500 OpenAI employees, threatening to leave unless Altman and Brockman were reinstated, adds another layer to the story. The potential exodus was driven by concerns over governance and the impact on a planned share sale at an $86 billion valuation, potentially affecting staff payouts at OpenAI. Microsoft's assurance to these employees of positions at the new subsidiary, combined with the surge in shares, is an added advantage.</p>

<p>"The OpenAI for-profit subsidiary was about to conduct a secondary at a $80 billion+ valuation. These 'Profit Participation Units' were going to be worth $10 million+ for key employees. Suffice it to say this is not going to happen now," a newsletter by SemiAnalysis said.</p>

<p>The valuation dynamics not only impact OpenAI but also position Microsoft as a key player in shaping the future of artificial intelligence.</p>

Microsoft's valuation soars as OpenAI turmoil unfurls: CEO and key staff join forces

<p>Microsoft's Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Kevin Scott has extended an olive branch to the disgruntled employees at OpenAI, agreeing to match their current compensation amid the upheaval following the sudden removal of CEO Sam Altman.</p>

<p>In a post on X, Scott expressed Microsoft's appreciation for the OpenAI employees' petition and their potential interest in joining the new AI Research Lab at Microsoft. He assured them that if needed, Microsoft would offer roles matching their current compensation, aligning with the collective mission.</p>

<p>The future of OpenAI remains uncertain after Altman's departure, and it's unclear where he will work. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced that Altman and his colleagues would join Microsoft as part of a new AI research group, triggering more than 600 OpenAI employees to sign a letter threatening to follow their former manager unless the board members resigned. &nbsp;</p>

<p>In an interview with CNBC, Nadella emphasised the need for changes in OpenAI's governance but did not explicitly confirm Altman and Brockman's move to Microsoft, indicating a dynamic situation.</p>

<p>According to CNBC, Altman's dismissal from OpenAI stemmed from the board's assertion that he was "not consistently candid in his communications". &nbsp;</p>

<p>After a weekend of negotiations and the possibility of Altman's reinstatement, former Twitch CEO Emmett Shear was appointed interim head. &nbsp;</p>

<p>OpenAI's board, now reduced to four members, including chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, who expressed regret for his role in the decision, has not elaborated on the reasons behind Altman's ouster.</p>

OpenAI& Microsoft hit with lawsuit over nonfiction book use

<p>OpenAI and Microsoft are confronting a new legal challenge as they are being sued over allegations of misusing nonfiction authors' work to train artificial intelligence models, including OpenAI's popular chatbot ChatGPT. &nbsp;</p>

<p>According to Reuters, Hollywood Reporter editor Julian Sancton, leading the proposed class action filed in Manhattan federal court, claims that OpenAI copied tens of thousands of nonfiction books without permission to instruct its large language models in responding to human text prompts. &nbsp;</p>

<p>This lawsuit is part of a series of legal actions brought by copyright owners, including notable authors like John Grisham and George R.R. Martin, against tech companies, with OpenAI and others refuting the allegations.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sancton's complaint stands out as the first author lawsuit against OpenAI to also name Microsoft as a defendant. Microsoft, a significant investor in OpenAI, has integrated the startup's AI systems into its products. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The lawsuit has brought out the tension between the value of OpenAI's AI platform and the alleged unauthorised use of copyrighted works, as highlighted by Sancton's attorney, Justin Nelson, who stated, "While OpenAI and Microsoft refuse to pay nonfiction authors, their AI platform is worth a fortune. The basis of OpenAI is nothing less than the rampant theft of copyrighted works."&nbsp;</p>

<p>The lawsuit details that OpenAI used nonfiction books, including Sancton's "Madhouse at the End of the Earth: The Belgica's Journey into the Dark Antarctic Night," for training its GPT large language models. It also claims that Microsoft played a significant role in the training and development of these models, making the company liable for copyright infringement.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Amid the legal battle, Sancton seeks unspecified monetary damages and a court order to prevent further alleged infringement.&nbsp;</p>

According to Reuters, Hollywood Reporter editor Julian Sancton, leading the proposed class action filed in Manhattan federal court, claims that OpenAI copied tens of thousands of nonfiction books without permission to instruct its large language models in responding to human text prompts. This lawsuit is part of a series of legal actions brought by copyright owners, including notable authors like John Grisham and George R.R. Martin, against tech companies, with OpenAI and others refuting the allegations. Sancton's complaint stands out as the first author lawsuit against OpenAI to also name Microsoft as a defendant. Microsoft, a significant investor in OpenAI, has integrated the startup's AI systems into its products. The lawsuit has brought out the tension between the value of OpenAI's AI platform and the alleged unauthorised use of copyrighted works, as highlighted by Sancton's attorney, Justin Nelson, who stated, "While OpenAI and Microsoft refuse to pay nonfiction authors, their AI platform is worth a fortune. The basis of OpenAI is nothing less than the rampant theft of copyrighted works." The lawsuit details that OpenAI used nonfiction books, including Sancton's "Madhouse at the End of the Earth: The Belgica's Journey into the Dark Antarctic Night," for training its GPT large language models. It also claims that Microsoft played a significant role in the training and development of these models, making the company liable for copyright infringement. Amid the legal battle, Sancton seeks unspecified monetary damages and a court order to prevent further alleged infringement. (With inputs from Reuters) WATCH WION LIVE HERE

<p>"Altman's departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities," according to OpenAI.</p>

<p>"The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI," the statement&nbsp;added.</p>

<p>The statement said the board was "grateful for Sam's many contributions to the founding and growth of OpenAI. At the same time, we believe new leadership is necessary as we move forward."</p>

<h2><strong>OpenAI co-founder quits</strong></h2>

<p>Founder and President Greg Brockman in a post on X said:&nbsp;"I'm super proud of what we've all built together since starting in my apartment 8 years ago. We've been through tough &amp; great times together, accomplishing so much despite all the reasons it should have been impossible. But based on today's news, I quit."</p>

<h2>Sam Altman's replacement</h2>

<p>Following Altman's sacking, OpenAI's Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati will be the interim CEO while the company conducts a formal search for a new, permanent CEO.</p>

<p>In a staff memo to the staff, as reported by Bloomberg, Murati wrote she was&nbsp;"honoured and humbled" to step into the leadership role at the company and said: "It's more important than ever that we stay focused, driven, and true to our core values."</p>

<p>ChatGPT is credited with kicking off the generative AI craze in November last year and even altering the tech scenario by making it reevaluate its goals. The chatbot remains hugely popular despite subsequent competition for other such generative AI tools. OpenAI is backed by Microsoft which has poured billions of dollars into the company.</p>

ChatGPT maker OpenAI fires CEO Sam Altman; President Greg Brockman quits 'based on today's news'

<p>Mira Murati, OpenAI's Chief Technology Officer, has taken&nbsp;over the leadership role after the company fired Sam Altman.</p>

<p>In a memo to the staff, the new OpenAI interim chief said she was "honoured and humbled" to step into the leadership role, reports Bloomberg.</p>

<h2><strong>Who is Mina Murati?</strong></h2>

<p>Murati, now the Interim CEO of OpenAI, joined the company back in 2018. Before that, she worked at Elon Musk's Tesla and as per reports she played an important role in the carmakers Model X. She also worked as an engineer at a French aerospace company.</p>

OpenAI upheaval: Mira Murati the interim CEO says 'honoured'. All you need to know about her

<p>Google has agreed to an investment of upto USD 2 billion in artificial intelligence (AI) company Anthropic. The start-up is a rival of OpenAI, the maker of widely popular generative AI tool ChatGPT. The announcement about the latest investment has been made by a spokesperson for Anthropic, Reuters reported. Alphabet's Google is already invested in Anthropic. It has invested USD 500 million and now has agreed to add USD 1.5 billion more over time. The fresh announcement reflects Google's intention to take on Microsoft-backed OpenAI. Google has already released Bard, its own generative AI. However, it has not been able to match the massive popularity of ChatGPT.</p>

<p>Since the launch of ChatGPT, BigTech companies have scrambled to infuse AI into their applications.</p>

<p>Even Amazon declared last month that it would pump-in up to USD 4 billion in Anthropic. In a quarterly report Amazon filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission this week, the tech giant said that it had already invested USD 1.25 billion in Anthropic which can be converted to equity. Amazon's Bedrock AI service has drawn thousands of customers.</p>

<p>There was no immediate public statement from either Google or Amazon over the developments.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Since the success of ChatGPT, cloud companies are investing big bucks in order to establish ties with AI start-ups that have potential to reshape the industry.</p>

<p>Anthropic was co-founded by former OpenAI executives and siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei. The company has made efforts to get resources and rope-in deep-pocketed backers in order to compete with OpenAI.</p>
