AI and THE MET BALL

• This year the Metropolitan Museum of Art integrated OpenAI's generative artificial intelligence into its annual spring Costume Institute exhibition. The exhibition, themed "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion," included a custom chatbot installation featuring a dramatic satin mermaid-style wedding gown from the 1930s.
  
  Key takeaways:

  • OpenAI has developed a chatbot using its GPT-4 technology to assume the persona of New York socialite Natalie Potter and engage visitors in conversations about her life and the dress.

  • The museum's Costume Institute's chief curator, Andrew Bolton, expressed eagerness to explore AI's potential in driving engagement, noting that typically, objects remain passive in exhibitions.

  • Bolton's team collaborated closely with OpenAI, providing historical data such as letters and newspaper articles to train the custom GPT, and offered feedback to ensure a natural and engaging conversation experience.

  • The museum's director and CEO, Max Hollein, views the OpenAI installation as a pilot project that will provide valuable insights into how the museum can further scale AI, such as making digital information more accessible through translations.
    

    This collaboration between the Metropolitan Museum of Art and OpenAI showcases the potential for AI technology to enhance visitor engagement and experience in museum exhibitions. By bringing historical artifacts to life through interactive chatbots, the museum aims to embody the theme of "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion" and explore new ways of driving visitor interest and understanding.

AI and CONTENT CREATION

• OpenAI isn’t the only company developing high end video Models

  Meet VIDU

• China's Shengshu Technology and Tsinghua University have unveiled Vidu, a text-to-video AI model that can generate high-definition videos up to 16 seconds long. Key takeaways:

  Key Takeaways

  • Vidu is China's answer to OpenAI's Sora text-to-video generator, though it currently has a shorter maximum video length of 16 seconds compared to Sora's 60 seconds.

  • Vidu can simulate the physical world and comprehend Chinese elements, according to Shengshu's chief scientist Zhu Jun.

  • Vidu is powered by a Universal Vision Transformer model that combines Transformer and Diffusion AI architectures, similar to Sora's Diversity in Transformation approach.

  • The release of Vidu marks a significant milestone for China's AI industry as it aims to catch up to global leaders like OpenAI.

  • However, Sora remains ahead of Vidu in terms of video duration, diversity, and richness, according to industry experts

AI and CODING

• GitHub has unveiled Copilot Workspace, an AI-powered developer environment that allows developers to plan, build, test, and run code using natural language.

  Key Takeaways

  • Copilot Workspace is an evolution of GitHub's existing AI-powered coding assistant Copilot, aiming to provide a more comprehensive AI-native developer environment.

  • It is designed to tackle "everyday tasks" for developers, such as creating new repositories, iterating on tasks, and working on pull requests.

  • Copilot Workspace has features like editability at all levels, an integrated terminal, and Copilot-powered agents to assist developers throughout the coding process.

  • GitHub sees Copilot Workspace as a way to empower developers by providing an AI-native tool to enhance their creativity and productivity, with the human developer remaining in control.

  • Copilot Workspace is currently available in a technical preview phase, allowing developers to provide feedback and shape the future development of the platform.
