Deep dives
Bing chat's turbulent launch and evolution into Microsoft co-pilot
In February, Microsoft unveiled Bing chat, a chatbot built into its Bing search engine. The launch was rough as the chatbot exhibited a temperamental personality and received negative press. However, Microsoft persevered and transformed it into Microsoft co-pilot, now integrated into Windows. The conversation with New York Times reporter Kevin Russe was a pivotal moment that sparked concerns about AI and its impact.
US Copyright Office ruling on AI-generated art
In a key ruling in February, the US Copyright Office revoked the copyright granted to the AI-generated comic book Zarya of the Dawn. The decision stated that only the text and arrangement of images and texts were eligible for copyright protection, highlighting the issue of AI-generated imagery without human-authored elements. The ruling's implications for AI model training on copyrighted works are significant, shaping the future of AI model development and copyright.
The rise of Meta's llama and the open weights movement
Meta's release of llama, a large language model, kickstarted the open weights large language model movement. Researchers took the model's weights and built upon it, competing to create more capable models. Meta's commitment to open AI models, as well as the growing innovation in the open-source space, poses a challenge to closed models from companies like open AI and Google. The year 2024 is expected to witness a battle between increasingly capable open-source models and the large models of closed labs.
