AI Insights Newsletter – 4th March 2024

Share this Article

Hi folks! Welcome to our NotCentralised newsletter focusing on AI. We’ve brought it over from doing it for the year at DSAI (Data Science and AI Association of Australia). With all the AI work we’re doing at NotCentralised, we wanted to keep our community informed about all the goings on we’re seeing in the AI space. Also, fun fact, for those who don’t know, we also write the Aus DeFi Association weekly newsletter, so keeping folks informed across the emerging tech space really is our thing (along with all the stuff we’re building!).

So with that said, let’s get to our newsletter. 

Local Highlights

First up, we got to interview the great Steve Nouri founder of Genai Works (the media entity behind Generative AI which is already followed by more than 3 million people and the fastest growing group on the platform in 2023). We spoke about a lot of topics from the good and the bad of AI so check that out here.

We also got to feature our latest feature in SIKE which helps with ideation, brainstorming and getting insights out of your notes in an easy to use manner. You’ll see more of this soon but for now, check it out in the latest Founders’ Journey newsletter from our Director, Mark Monfort here.

Well done to Annie Liao for this feature in the Sydney Morning Herald – see more here.

Global Highlights

At the start of week Microsoft announced a partnership with France’s open source GPT company Mistral. This gives them a foothold in Europe (helpful when it comes to any upcoming anti AI regulations) and better yet, gives users more choice in Azure

Here’s another take on it, some proper 4D chess being played here.

Let’s talk more about Groq in this deep dive with MattVidPro 

An AI / crypto bubble? Its looking like it.

Implicit bias in different AI models? It sure looks that way when you ask if this question on who is okay to hurt not hurt.

Australia Post is not so quietly getting into the AI space as well. Read more here.

A double-edged sword here with AI agents doing the work of 700 real life humans at Klarna. It’s handling mundane tasks for now which is a safe approach but it just shows the need for more AI education to get out there so humans remain in the loop with processes and work. Read more here.

Matt Wolfe here showing how hard it is to make prediction videos about AI video capabilities.

 

Believe you with this from Alibaba Group and their new emo model which turns images into realistic talking heads. Crazy stuff here.

We’ll leave you with this Elon lawsuit against Sam Altman. Is this just a fishing expedition or legit concerns. Seems like the former for the SVIC guys think that’s the case.
