Featured Story

The Beatles have made a triumphant return to the music scene with their first new single in decades, "Now and Then," which has quickly climbed Spotify's streaming charts. The song, which began as a John Lennon demo post-breakup, was completed with the help of artificial intelligence to clean up Lennon's muffled vocals, allowing Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr to reunite and finish the track. Released on November 2, the single has not only topped the U.K. Spotify chart, surpassing Taylor Swift's latest release, but has also seen significant global streaming numbers and sales, suggesting it could soon become a chart-topping hit in many countries.

INDUSTRY INSIGHTS

President Biden speaks up about AI : After seeing deepfakes of himself, President Biden highlighted the need for action against potential misuse of AI. The executive order aims to install safeguards for tech companies and create federal standards to mitigate risks, particularly in areas like discrimination, cybercrime, and the creation of dangerous biological materials.

Chat GPT is not able to be a financial Analyst yet : ChatGPT and its more advanced version, GPT-4, were tested by JPMorgan AI researchers to see if they could pass the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) exam, with results indicating that ChatGPT would likely not pass the first two levels. GPT-4 performed better, potentially passing the first two levels with adequate prompting, despite making fewer knowledge-based errors than ChatGPT. The study suggests that while AI has made significant strides, the complexity and depth of understanding required for financial analysis are still beyond its current capabilities, keeping Wall Street analysts' jobs safe for the time being.

DeepMotion launches MotionGPT for text-to-3D animation : DeepMotion has introduced MotionGPT, an AI-powered tool that converts text prompts into detailed 3D animations, aiming to democratize the creation of animation by making it more accessible to a wider range of creators across various industries with a beta launch planned for the winter of 2024.

Lenovo is making moves to compete with Apple with a new AI driven computer : The Lenovo Yoga AIO 9i is positioned as a potential iMac competitor with its unique design, featuring a standout metal stand and a large 32-inch 4K display, alongside features like wireless charging. However, it falls short due to a lack of ports, a mediocre webcam, and the absence of a discrete GPU in the $1,500 price range. Despite these drawbacks, the AIO 9i offers solid CPU performance and could be a strong contender in the all-in-one market with its competitive pricing and impressive screen.
