Greetings,

Microsoft Copilot is adding an autocomplete feature that provides suggestions as you prompt it… It's the AI version of people who finish your sentences for you :-P

And with that, Welcome to another issue of Weekly.Ai as we try and make you look cool around the water cooler.

We want you to stay on top of the latest gossip, look cool, but we also want you to be aware of the latest in Ai that helps you be more efficient in your personal life, but especially at work or in running your own company.

With that said, here are some of the latest releases and newest toys you should be aware of…

• Microsoft is Building MAI-1, a new in-house model.

• TikTok labels Ai-generated content. Plus: OpenAI’s new tool.

• The US holds a huge lead over China in Ai

• Ai reducing Burnout for Teachers?

• Build your Brand logo with Looka

• 5 Cool Ai tools

• A weekly Ai Prediction

• What’s cooking with BotBuilders

Let's dive in, shall we?

My oh My… MAi-1 is coming…

Despite its partnership with OpenAI, Microsoft invested $11 Billion in developing its very own large language model (LLM) called MAi-1.

MAi-1 is still in development and hasn’t been officially announced yet. But Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott shared his thoughts on LinkedIn regarding the Company’s strategy.

These are the key points:

• It’s expected to have around 500 billion parameters. For context, while it is far bigger than its predecessors, it will still fall short of OpenAi’s GPT-4 with over a trillion parameters.

• Microsoft is using powerful computers (like Nvidia GPUs) and data to train MAI-1, showing the big investments needed for advanced AI development.

• The Development of MAI-1 is led by Mustafa Suleyman, who used to work at Google AI. He was also the CEO of an AI startup called Inflection.

What this means for you:

This allows Microsoft to challenge Ai leaders like Google while reducing dependence on partners like OpenAi. And seeing another Competitor is never a bad thing, as it opens more opportunities.

Even though MAI-1 might not be as big as GPT-4, it’s definitely shaping up to be a strong competitor in the AI language model field.

The exact purpose and selling points are not yet clear… But if you know some of the back story on how Microsoft acquired Open Ai and one of its founders Sam Altman, and the stink one Elon Musk is making about it as one of the early investors in Open Ai…

Our guess is that MAi is a parachute if OpenAi goes sideways in the courts… Thoughts?

TikTok Labels Ai-generated Content. Plus: OpenAI’s New Tool

While TikTok already labels content made with TikTok AI, it’s started automatically labelling AI-created content made on other platforms–like OpenAI’s DALL-E–with “AI-generated”.

What are your thoughts on AI content being pointed out on all social feeds by the big companies… it’s a good thing, right? Or should it just be viewed as any other post?

On another note, OpenAI is developing a tool—Media Manager—that will allow content creators to control how their work is used in AI training, aimed at preventing future content copyright lawsuits.

The US Has A Huge Lead Over China In Ai

Reuters reported the Commerce Department mulls tighter limits on exporting closed-source models (e.g., GPT-4, Claude 3) to China. Even the head of Saudi Arabia’s $100 billion AI fund said, readiness to withdraw from China upon the request of the United States.

According to Chinese researchers, they are five to ten years behind their US counterparts.

The Impact Ai has on your education:

Canva's survey shows high burnout among US K-12 teachers: 35% daily, 83% occasionally. 57% consider leaving. Teachers increasingly use AI tools to ease their workload and address pain points. 42 % already use AI tools, finding them helpful in boosting efficiency and reducing burnout. Even non-users recognize AI's potential, with 56% believing it could alleviate burnout.

Despite their lack of sponsorship, these tools are a recommendation from us.

In the near future, interacting with various Ai’s will be as natural as talking with fellow humans today. Despite the widespread chatter about artificial intelligence, our encounters with advanced Ai systems are mostly limited to occasional interactions like tasking ChatGPT or Google Bard/Gemini to write quick posts or letters for us.

We predict, by 2030-ish, a pretty good transition, where Ai is integrated into our lives, as personal assistants, educators, advisors, therapists, accountants, and even legal advisors.

Ai will be deeply engrained in our professional lives, from analysis and coding to product development, sales, customer support, team coordination, and strategic decision-making.

Furthermore, it will be commonplace for individuals to form significant relationships with their Ai…. not sure if it will be robots by then… but defiantly Joaquin Phoenix in the movie Her?? Thoughts?

BotBuilders is currently working with Special Olympics! We’re launching a first-ever Bowl-a-Thon-Bash to create a fun charity event where participants get to be team members with the athletes and have fun just hanging out with them.

Special Olympics Bowl-a-Thon-Bash will be a one-of-a-kind annual event. We have plenty of ways for you to sponsor these events even if you can’t be there. All to help a worldwide charitable cause.

We also have a program called Abundance where proceeds go to Special Olympics. But you also get the AI and business growth tools you know and love from BotBuilders. So if you ever want to learn how to use AI and donate to a great cause, try Abundance.

Donating to Special Olympics is investing in boundless joy, courage, and inclusion. Every contribution fuels opportunities for athletes with intellectual disabilities to thrive, breaking down barriers and building self-esteem. 

Together, we champion diversity and celebrate the extraordinary spirit of every athlete.

That’s all for today.

If you’d like to give us feedback, just reply. We read our emails daily.

P.S. If you're still reading this, you're officially one of our favorite humans. Don't tell the others, it'll just make them jealous.
