We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!
In today's episode, we explore a range of fascinating developments at the intersection of AI, law enforcement, labor regulations, automotive privacy, and startup funding.
First, we take a look at Microsoft's new Phi-3 family of compact yet powerful language models that bring advanced AI capabilities to smartphones and edge devices. Next, we examine Axon's "Draft One" tool that uses AI to automatically generate police reports from body cam audio, aiming to reduce paperwork and increase community engagement time for officers. We also break down the FTC's groundbreaking decision to ban non-compete agreements nationwide, a move poised to boost worker mobility and entrepreneurship.
Shifting gears, we investigate troubling reports accusing GM of tracking drivers' behavior through its OnStar system and sharing that data with insurers without proper consent, underscoring the growing privacy concerns surrounding connected cars. Finally, we celebrate a milestone close to home as Perplexity AI, the company behind this podcast, achieves unicorn status with a $1 billion valuation thanks to the incredible support of listeners like you. It's an exciting time as Perplexity builds the future of search, and we're grateful to have you along for the ride.
