The intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and various industries is transforming the way we live and work. From education to business, sports, and technology, AI is revolutionizing the way we approach challenges and make decisions. In this news brief, we'll explore the latest developments in AI and its impact on different sectors.
AI in Education
AI is changing the way higher education teaches business classes. Business school graduates need to know more than just finance and marketing; they need to have expertise in AI, resilience, communication, and problem-solving skills. Colleges and universities are incorporating more real-world skills training into their curricula, including AI. For example, the University of Colorado's Leeds School of Business includes AI in several classes to prepare students to use AI effectively.
AI in Business
The AI boom has brought an explosion in demand for electricity-hungry data centers. Data centers are an economic boon in many regions, but policymakers are starting to pay closer attention to the energy issue. States like Virginia, California, Ohio, and Texas are increasing data centers' transparency and accountability. Meanwhile, Nvidia has taken a stake in Nebius Group, an AI infrastructure specialist in Europe, and is investing $1 billion for an AI infrastructure across Finland and France.
AI in Sports
The NBA is leveraging AI to enhance decision-making in trade scenarios. AI tools analyze player performance, health metrics, and social media to predict trade outcomes. Milwaukee Bucks star Khris Middleton is at the center of trade rumors influenced by AI insights. Virtual simulations allow teams to visualize potential trades and their impact on strategies.
AI in Technology
Anthropic, an AI startup, is finalizing a $3.5 billion funding round, valuing it at $61.5 billion. The company has launched Claude 3.7 Sonnet, a hybrid reasoning model that can produce faster responses or display its step-by-step reasoning process. Meanwhile, Nvidia will face off with investors demanding perfection as the 'spigot of investment dollars' gushes into AI.
