The world of artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly evolving, with new breakthroughs and innovations emerging every day. From harnessing the power of hybrid intelligence to revolutionizing drug development, AI is transforming industries and changing the way we live and work. In this news brief, we'll explore the latest developments in AI and what they mean for the future.
Harnessing the Power of Hybrid Intelligence
As we age, our cognitive abilities can decline, but hybrid intelligence can help us stay sharp. According to a recent article on Forbes, there are four ways to harness the power of hybrid intelligence as you age. These include using AI-powered tools to enhance memory and learning, leveraging AI-driven insights to make better decisions, and using AI to automate routine tasks and free up time for more important things.
AI-Powered Cyber Threats on the Rise
A new report from Darktrace finds that 78% of Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) globally are seeing a significant impact from AI-powered cyber threats. This is up 5% from last year, highlighting the growing threat of AI-powered attacks. The report also notes that managing risk is a priority, but more action is needed to address the issue.
Expanding AI Data Center Boosts Local Economy
A big expansion for an AI data center in West Jordan is making national headlines and is expected to bring a big boost to the local economy. The company behind it has secured a $2 billion loan and is expected to generate nearly $1 million in annual tax revenue. The AI data center will cover roughly 100 acres and become the largest data center in the state.
Meta's New Business AI
Meta's new business AI will help you sell stuff to customers. The program is designed to pursue sales according to your own playbook, even letting would-be buyers know about discounts or sales. The AI agents will be capable of answering questions about products, remembering customer preferences, and even offering discounts or employing other strategies to get a sale.
AI in Film and Television
A producer of the 'Divergent' movies wants to use AI to make 30 new projects in the next four years. The studio has already acquired the rights to nearly 20 scripts and several intellectual properties. The company has developed a proprietary AI-powered workflow called ForwardMotion, which will work with union members in many production departments.
Reskilling for AI
Salesforce is training its 72,000 employees on agentic AI. The company has created a workforce innovation team to understand how jobs are evolving and ensure Salesforce's talent remains up-to-date. The team has identified the top 10 skills employees will need to be successful with AI agents, including human skills, agent skills, and business skills.
Honest Feedback via Generative AI
Generative AI can provide honest feedback, which is hard to get from humans. The AI doesn't have a stake in the game and can provide feedback based on patterns, rather than personal biases. However, generative AI does have biases, and users should be aware of this when using it.
AI Revolutionizing Drug Development
BullFrog AI plans to introduce a game-changing approach that could shorten timelines, reduce costs, and increase success rates in drug development. The new technology, named bfLEAP, can rapidly analyze research and studies to glean the most relevant information and promises to shorten the R&D phase and create a roadmap for scientists to validate their findings.
Machine Learning Adoption into Supply Chain Management
Machine learning adoption into supply chain management is on the horizon. Widespread integration of machine learning (ML) into supply chain management by major pharma suppliers is just a few years away, says cold chain expert Gianpiero Lorusso. ML tools can enhance biopharma supply by optimizing trial and commercial supply chains for several metrics, including cost, emissions, and time.
How AI is Changing the World
Artificial intelligence will have a profound impact on humanity, bringing both benefits and risks. On one hand, AI has the potential to make humanity smarter, faster, and more efficient by freeing us of clerical burdens and providing new opportunities for personalized education experiences. On the other hand, AI poses an existential risk to human values, displacing jobs, exacerbating wealth inequality, eroding privacy, and consuming vast amounts of energy.
