What industry will AI eat next?

We’re hoping real estate, personally.

That could use some real disruption.

👀 Microsoft teases plugins for BingGPT

Microsoft’s head of Ads and Web Services is having his moment.

His name is Mikhail Parakhin. Remember it.

The dude prowls Twitter with no verification and no profile picture. Not even a mention of Microsoft in his profile.

He loves answering questions about Bing AI.

…one answer caught our eye.

In a conversation about Bing AI, one user took the chance to ask for a favor: PLEASE add plugins for BingGPT.

His response? Stay tuned.

I mean, they’d be foolish not to add them, right?

Microsoft fumbled the Windows phone hard. Part of the reason was lack of robust developer support.

Platforms live and die by who builds on them.

The iPhone lived. Windows Phone died.

Microsoft won’t make the same mistake twice.

😬 US government weighs regulations for AI

Well, that was fast.

Just a few days ago we posited on the question of what AI legislation would look like.

Now, the US government’s Commerce Department wants feedback on AI “accountability systems”.

What does that mean?

The fate of AI rests in the hands of senators who need to ask their grandchildren how to use their phone’s camera.

But legally, they want a system guaranteeing “that AI systems are legal, effective, ethical, safe, and otherwise trustworthy.”

They’ll gather inputs, and prepare a report for the President.

Now, which route will they go? Will they listen to the growing list of executives and scientists that want to halt AI development?

Or will they embrace innovation at any expense?

As with all things, likely something in-between.

🤓 Amazon wants you to build AI using its dataset

Here’s one for all you data nerds out there.

Amazon, the king of logistics, released a massive dataset.

What’s in it?

Yup. You guessed it. Hundreds of thousands of images of items in an Amazon warehouse.

Alright, now that you’ve had a chance to settle down from that bombshell, let’s continue.

The dataset has a very specific goal: to allow you to train ML models to be warehouse-ready.

Any warehouse has thousands of robots performing tasks like finding an item, picking it up, and placing it somewhere else.

Over, and over, and over. And over.

Amazon’s dataset is for training those robots. Each item in the dataset has those three activities: locate, pick, place.

Why would they release this?

The boring reason is to help the community.

If you see dollar signs, though...buiild something with this dataset. You might catch Amazon's eye.
