Google to Launch Gemini Ultra - Consolidating Brands
Google is planning to launch Gemini Ultra, the most powerful version of their long-awaited Gemini model. This move consolidates their brands around the Gemini term. The update includes a new change log for BARD, which is now renamed Gemini. Gemini Ultra, also known as Ultra 1.0, outperforms GPT 4 in MMOU reasoning tests, math tests, and coding tests. Gemini Advance, a paid plan, offers access to Ultra 1.0 and will continue to expand with new features.
Democrats' Approach to AI and Recent Policies
The Biden administration has been implementing policies related to artificial intelligence, including requiring companies to disclose when training large language models (LLMs) and monitoring compute usage by international customers. Democrats aim to make AI work for American workers, elevating the labor discussion in relation to AI politics. AI legislation has bipartisan support, with Republicans and Democrats co-sponsoring comprehensive proposals. The use of AI in misinformation campaigns, as seen in a Biden deepfake robo-call during the New Hampshire primary, has raised concerns and highlighted the need for addressing AI risks.
Donald Trump Expresses Concerns about AI
Former President Donald Trump spoke about AI in a recent interview, expressing concerns about deepfakes and the lack of consensus on dealing with AI-related challenges. He highlighted the potential security risks and the difficulty of distinguishing between AI-generated content and real speech. Trump's comments indicate that AI has become a national agenda item, potentially impacting the 2024 presidential election. However, his views on AI's other dimensions, such as the China issue and AI in the military, were not mentioned in the interview.
According to a changelog found by an Android developer, Google Ultra is coming out on Wednesday, and Bard will be rebranded to Gemini. Also on this episode, Donald Trump calls AI "Dangerous and Scary"
