🤓 Learn to build AI tools straight from the source

Get ready to learn AI from the very best.

Andrew Ng, former cofounder of Google Brain, teamed up with OpenAI for a brand new course.

It’s short, it’s free, and at the end, you’ll know how to build AI applications with APIs.

If you’re still here, and haven’t already bolted for the signup, here’s some more information.

The course is actually co-hosted by Andrew Ng and Isabella Fulford. She's a member of the technical staff at OpenAI.

The goal? Learn “best practices for developers wanting to build applications using API access to LLMs.“

That means you’ll focus on prompt engineering via coding, rather than through the UI on chat.openai.com.

You'll build AI tools for

  • Summarizing (e.g., summarizing user reviews for brevity)

  • Inferring (e.g., sentiment classification, topic extraction)

  • Transforming text (e.g., translation, spelling & grammar correction)

  • Expanding (e.g., automatically writing emails)

We haven't taken the course yet, but it's only an hour and a half, so it could be worth checking out.

🚀 Microsoft Designer AI gives marketers superpowers

Microsoft’s generative AI designer tool makes the lives of marketers way easier.

Tell it any design you’d like. A social media post promoting a summer concert series. A LinkedIn announcement that you’re humbled to accept a new job. A hashtag for a new product.

Microsoft Designer uses AI to make it real.

Bypass all the painful parts of generating ad campaigns.

You can even ask it to adjust its results. Want that copy to be a bit more focused on the sponsor? Just ask.

The power of GPT.

😬 The EU is ready to regulate AI

Stand back, everyone.

The European Union has a plan for copyright for generative AI.

They’ve spent the last two years dragging a proposal on AI regulation through the government.

Now, it’s almost ready. Key highlights:

  • AI tools like ChatGPT or Midjourney will have to disclose if they trained on copyrighted material.

  • Any new AI will come with a perceived threat level, from mild to unacceptable. Think joke generator to biometric surveillance. The higher the risk, the higher the transparency required.

If that sounds rough, apparently, it’s better than before. Lawmakers wanted to outright ban any AI that trained on copyrighted material.

The goal is to “foster innovation”, according to an EU deputy.

We’ll see how well that goes.
