Microsoft denies training AI on user data

Microsoft has now denied claims that it used data from its Microsoft 365 applications, such as Word and Excel, to feed AI models. The ruckus began when its users noticed the "connected experiences" feature, that had been enabled by default, and feared that it may feed data into AI systems. Microsoft clarified that the data collected through connected experiences, which includes features like real-time grammar suggestions and cloud storage, is not used for training large language models. The company emphasized that users have control over this feature and can opt out at any time. Despite these clarifications, privacy concerns persist, especially regarding transparency around data usage for AI training.

Amazon makes video AI model

Amazon is said to have developed a new generative AI model called Olympus, designed to process and understand text but also images and video. This new technology seeks to make Amazon less reliant on the external AI models used, such as Anthropic's Claude, popular on Amazon Web Services (AWS). It allows users to search for scenes in videos with simple text prompts, like finding the winning basketball shot. That's a demonstration of how Amazon is pushing forward the development of its AI and the model might be released at the upcoming AWS re:Invent conference.will be an integral component of how people interact with technology in a world heavily driven by AI.

NASA is utilizing AI tools in order to monitor and prevent disasters. Here's how it works

NASA is using AI tools to help improve disaster monitoring and prevention, especially when it comes to extreme weather conditions such as hurricanes, floods, and wildfires. With the use of AI models, NASA can process large amounts of Earth-observing satellite data and identify patterns for more accurate disaster outcomes. For instance, an AI-powered model by NASA helps in predicting the course and intensity of hurricanes from meteorological data and learning history. It also helps make flood maps and monitor variations in glaciers, which give rise to flood risks in vulnerable areas. Through these innovations, NASA supports decision-makers in response to disaster events in the real time and long-term resilience planning .This AI approach offers an initiative way to deal with escalating worldwide disaster risks, particularly climate-related ones.

AI Startup Recursive Signs Memorandum for the Development of an AI and Data Science Solution in Tackling Tuberculosis.

AI Startup Recursive Signs Memorandum of Understanding with Saudi Arabia's Largest Medical Research Institution, King Abdullah International Medical Research Center, for the Development of an AI and Data Science Solution in Tackling Tuberculosis.Recursive, an AI startup, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the King Abdullah International Medical Research Center (KAIMRC), Saudi Arabia's largest medical research institution. The collaboration looks to use AI and data science to tackle the global health challenge of TB. With the use of advanced machine learning models, Recursive looks to advance diagnostic tools, predict outbreaks of TB, and streamline treatment protocols. This partnership also helps with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 to improve healthcare outcomes through AI-driven innovations. Both organizations are working for sustainable and scalable solutions for treating TB more effectively to reduce the burden not only of Saudi Arabia but also on international communities. This MoU also falls under a wider scheme of integrating AI in essential sectors, further establishing that Saudi Arabia is looking toward becoming a leader in both AI research and health science innovation.

India to become global leader in AI and chip design, claims SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son

India is all set to become a global leader in artificial intelligence (AI) and chip design, said SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son. Speaking on a recent visit, Son emphasized that India could lead the AI revolution. He said that the country has a rich talent pool and growing technological infrastructure. This includes SoftBank's intention to invest heavily in AI chip design, supporting its existing stake in Arm Holdings, which is expected to be a key player in this strategy. The venture is called Izanagi and has been designed to challenge players like Nvidia by creating high-end AI chips. Son believes AI is the future of India's economy, given that the demand for innovations based on AI is picking up. With investments in AI startups and a focus on semiconductor manufacturing, India's rise as an AI powerhouse is imminent, positioning it to lead globally within the next decade.
