Deep dives
Arizona State University partnership with OpenAI
Arizona State University (ASU) has announced its partnership with OpenAI, focusing on three areas: enhancing student success, forging new avenues for innovative research, and streamlining organizational processes. ASU faculty and staff have already been using chat GPT, and their bottom-up adoption of the tool led to this larger partnership. This partnership reflects a broader trend in organizations, where employees adopt AI tools, showcase their productivity, and eventually influence management to adopt them organization-wide. This partnership allows for cross-pollination of best practices, as ASU will be taking submissions from faculty and students on how to use chat GPT.
Ohio's AI policy for K-12 schools
Ohio is preparing to implement an AI policy for its K-12 schools, joining 11 other states in providing guidance on using generative AI in classrooms. This policy aims to give teachers more confidence in using AI in their classrooms by clarifying the boundaries and expanding possibilities for incorporating AI in education. The guidance ensures that teachers who are already using AI can do so without fear of reprimand and encourages the expansion of AI applications in the K-12 education system.
Mark Zuckerberg's ambition to build open-source AGI
Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Meta, has announced the company's ambition to build open-source Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and make it widely available. This new goal positions Meta in competition with other AI companies like OpenAI, emphasizing the importance of open sourcing AGI. Zuckerberg envisions AI as a tool for enhancing human interactions, integrating it with the metaverse through devices like glasses. With a significant investment in computing resources and the training of advanced models like llama 3, Meta aims to make AGI accessible to everyone while acknowledging potential challenges and the need for responsible development.
Other revelations from an Instagram reel include that Meta will have around $20B worth of compute by the end of 2024; that Llama 3 is being trained, and that it intends to be state of the art -- not just the best open source model.
