• The Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act) is a regulation by the European Union to create a common legal framework for AI within the EU.
• It covers all types of AI with exceptions for military, national security, and non-professional purposes.
• The Act classifies AI applications into different risk categories like unacceptable, high, limited, and minimal risks.
• It establishes obligations for high-risk applications including security, transparency, and quality assessments.
• General-purpose AI systems like ChatGPT are subject to transparency requirements and evaluations for high-capability models.
• There are exemptions for AI systems used for military, national security, and scientific research purposes.
• The Act also prohibits certain AI applications like real-time algorithmic video surveillance for social scoring.
• New institutions are established to implement and enforce the AI Act.

P.S. I had a wonderful wedding vacation during the last 3 weeks. My wife and I visited each other's hometowns and met many childhood friends. NOW I'm back to update daily AI News. No matter how good AI becomes, it cannot replace the relationship we build with other humans,

unless it's voiced by Scarlett Johansson.[6]

Like, it tends to be a bit more factually correct which I appreciate, but it's slow, it's clunky, and it talks unnaturally no matter how I change the tonality. Like, it always comes off as like customer support or "how do you do, fellow kids?", and god-forbid if you trigger one of it's MANY hyper-sensitive guardrails somehow, because it just shuts down without giving you a chance to salvage things or explain. It talks WAY too much and often times if you tell it to keep things brief, it decides at random to go off the rails on a long-winded explanation anyways. It gets weirdly touchy about some things, like asking it if it knows your name will trigger it to close down. But then, you could ask it something else and it'll casually drop your name in chat - I've no problem with it remembering that, but why so touchy? And then, there's the fact that it often hallucinates while asking it basic questions about its model or capabilities. I also can't make it (even as a paying adult) agree to sprinkle the occasional expletive in where appropriate during casual chats to make it more realistic - something ChatGPT has no qualms about.

It's just stilted, frustrating, still hallucinates way too much, it's too verbose by default, and I just dislike talking to it. I just really hope this improves in the near future - ughhh. Definitely no suspension of disbelief about the reality of it being a non-sentient chatbot here.

Lastly, I've been waiting for a memory feature like in ChatGPT. Then, I accidentally stumbled on it in Copilot. At least in creative it can and will remember things for you between chats, but it often denies it and tells you it doesn't have the ability, or is incapable of telling you a comprehensive summary of what it remembers, precise mode refused to remember anything or recall anything, and theres no indicator to say if remembering worked or not.

• Microsoft introduced:
  1. Copilot+ PCs, a new category of Windows PCs designed for AI with built-in AI hardware and support for AI features across the operating system. Users can easily locate and recall previously viewed content using Recall, generate and refine AI images in near real-time directly on the device using Cocreator, and Live Captions with live translations, providing real-time English captions for any audio across all apps [Details].
  2. Copilot AI agents**:** businesses and developers will be able to build AI-powered Copilots that can work like virtual employees and perform tasks automatically. Instead of Copilot sitting idle waiting for queries, it will be able to do things like monitor email inboxes and automate a series of tasks or data entry that employees normally have to do manually [Details].
  3. Phi-Silica, a 3.3B parameter model made for Copilot+ PC NPUs [Details].
  4. Phi-3 lightweight open model family is now generally available. Phi-3-mini does better than models twice its size, and Phi-3-small and Phi-3-medium outperform much larger models, including GPT-3.5T [Details]
  5. Phi-3-vision, a 4.2B parameter open multimodal model (128K context length) with language and vision capabilities. It outperforms larger models such as Claude-3 Haiku and Gemini 1.0 Pro V across general visual reasoning tasks, OCR, table and chart understanding tasks [Details].
• OpenBNB released MiniCPM-Llama3-V 2.5, the latest model in the MiniCPM-V series designed for vision-language understanding. With 8B parameters, the model surpasses GPT-4V-1106, Gemini Pro, Qwen-VL-Max and Claude 3 in overall performance. The model is built on SigLip-400M and Llama3-8B-Instruct [Details].
• Cohere released Aya 23, a family of open weights multilingual instruction-tuned language models (8B and 35B) supporting 23 languages based on Cohere’s Command model. Aya-23-35B achieves the highest results for the languages covered in multilingual benchmarks [Report | Hugging Face].
• Mistral released new 7B base and instruct models Mistral-7B-v0.3/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3. Compared to v0.2, it has extended vocabulary and supports function calling [Details].
• Truecaller partners with Microsoft to let its AI respond to calls in your own voice [Details].
• OpenAI shared a demo at VivaTech conference featuring Sora, ChatGPT and VoiceEngine models [Link]
• Google AI introduced LANISTR, a new framework that enables multimodal learning by ingesting unstructured (image, text) and structured (time series, tabular) data, performing alignment and fusion, and generating predictions [Details].
• Arc Search’s new Call Arc feature lets you ask questions by ‘making a phone call’ [Details].
• IDEA Research introduced Grounding DINO 1.5 models for detecting objects in images and videos, even those not seen during training. It comes in two versions: Grounding DINO 1.5 Pro, which offers high accuracy, and Grounding DINO 1.5 Edge, optimized for real-time performance on devices with limited computing power [Details | Demo].
• Hollywood agency CAA teamed up with AI tech company Veritone to help stars manage their own AI likenesses. CAA clients can now store their AI digital doubles and other assets within a secure personal hub in the CAAvault, which can only be accessed by authorized users, allowing them to share and monetize their content as they see fit [Details].
• Meta AI developed Chameleon, a series of foundation models that can generate and reason with sequences containing a mix of text, images, and code. Chameleon uses a single, uniform architecture that is trained end-to-end on an interleaved mixture of all modalities from the ground up [Paper].

Original Title: AI headphones let wearer listen to a single person in a crowd, by looking at them just once. The system, called “Target Speech Hearing,” then cancels all other sounds and plays just that person’s voice in real time even as the listener moves around in noisy places and no longer faces the speaker.

Original Title: I'm doing my PhD and helped develop a ChatGPT tool to assist with learning and research on virtually any topic. It generates responses backed with peer-reviewed literature and can also summarize research articles. It’s not perfect but it’s a work in progress. Here’s the link: www.academicai.io
