Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing many aspects of how we work and live. (How many stories did you read last week about self-driving cars and job-stealing robots? Perhaps your holiday shopping involved some AI algorithms, as well.) But despite the constant flow of news, many misconceptions about AI remain.
AI doesn’t think in our sense of the word at all, Scriffignano explains. “In many ways, it’s not really intelligence. It’s regressive.”
IT leaders should make deliberate choices about what AI can and can’t do on its own. “You have to pay attention to giving AI autonomy intentionally and not by accident,”

Generative AI tools are here, but who’s using them?
Generative AI has much promise. But the road between here and delivering on those promises looks to be a lot longer than when ChatGPT first dropped in November 2022.

Hacker group claims it leaked internal Disney Slack messages over AI concerns
https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/15/business/internal-disney-slack-leak-hacker-group/index.html
New York
CNN
—
An activist hacking group claimed it leaked thousands of Disney’s internal messaging channels, which included information about unreleased projects, raw images computer codes and some logins.
Nullbulge, the “hacktivist group,” claimed responsibility for the breach and said they leaked a gigantic, roughly 1.2 terabytes of information from Disney’s Slack, a communications software. In an email on Monday to CNN, the group claimed it gained access through “a man with Slack access who had cookies.” The email also claimed the group was based out of Russia.
“Disney was our target due to how it handles artist contracts, its approach to AI, and its pretty blatant disregard for the consumer,” the hacking group said over email.

Using artificial intelligence to make quantum computers a reality
https://www.earth.com/news/using-artificial-intelligence-ai-to-make-quantum-computers-reality/
Have you ever considered the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to unlock the secrets of advanced quantum computing?
This once seemingly impossible feat may soon become a reality, as suggested by new research from Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO.
AI and quantum computing noise
The research, published in the prestigious Physical Review Research journal, presents a fascinating and important concept.
It indicates AI’s remarkable potential to process and resolve quantum errors, which are famously termed as ‘qubit noise’.
Now, why do these quantum errors matter so much in the universe of quantum computing?
This noise, which arises from various sources such as environmental interference and imperfections in the quantum system, apparently is the largest hurdle in transitioning quantum computers from being purely experimental devices to practical, everyday tools.

Goodbye Manual Prompting, Hello Programming With DSPy
The DSPy framework aims to resolve consistency and reliability issues by prioritizing declarative, systematic programming over manual prompt writing.
https://thenewstack.io/goodbye-manual-prompting-hello-programming-with-dspy/
The development of scalable and optimized AI applications using large language models (LLMs) is still in its growing stages. Building applications based on LLMs is complex and time-consuming due to the extensive manual work involved, such as writing prompts.
Prompt writing is the most important part of any LLM application as it helps us to extract the best possible results from the model. However, crafting an optimized prompt requires developers to rely heavily on hit-and-trial methods, wasting significant time until the desired result is achieved.

Macrostrategy Partnersin perustaja James Ferguson uskoo menossa olevan tekoälybuumin olevan kupla, uutisoi muun muassa Bloomberg ja Business Insider.
Fergusonin mukaan nykyinen tekoälysirubuumi täyttää taloudellisen kuplan merkit. Tilanne muistuttaa Fergusonin mielestä 90-luvun lopun it-kuplaa: uuteen teknologiaan investoidaan paljon, vaikka sen tosiasialliset vaikutukset eivät ole tiedossa
Ferguson kertoo, että luovalla tekoälyllä ei ole hypetyksestä huolimatta montaa käytännöllistä käyttökohdetta. Tämän lisäksi tekoäly vaatii paljon energiaa edes toimiakseen.
”Lopputuloksena on jotakin, joka on hyvin kallista ja joka ei ole vielä osoittautunut oikeastaan missään muualla kuin joissakin suppeissa sovelluksissa”, Ferguson kertoo.
Tekoäly-yritysten arvo on kokenut suuren nousun viime aikoina. Nvidiasta tuli lyhyeksi aikaa maailman arvokkain yhtiö, TSMC nousi Aasian arvokkaimmaksi pörssiyhtiöksi

Coding From Scratch Creates New Risks
The good news for organizations is that CodeOps combines AI and human ingenuity to minimize these risks while saving time and money.
https://thenewstack.io/coding-from-scratch-creates-new-risks/
Digital assets, including apps and websites, are a must-have for organizations, and those that are innovative, intuitive, and fun to use can go a long way toward building long-lasting customer relationships. Creativity helps businesses stand out in a crowded marketplace, but many need to realize that they don’t need to reinvent the wheel and start the app development process from scratch.
In many new app development projects, a significant portion of the required code has already been written — up to 70% is often readily available. This code may originate from open source projects or have been previously developed by developers within the organization.
Despite the abundance of existing code, efforts to prioritize code reuse have historically faced challenges. Solutions such as low- or no-code platforms often force disruption and demand new, non-transferable skill sets, contributing to resistance and failure. Many of these solutions also need more technical maturity to deliver on their promises.
This is why organizations turn to CodeOps, an AI-driven software development process prioritizing systematic code reuse. This helps teams avoid wasting time reinventing the wheel and, more importantly, significantly reduces the risks associated with writing code from scratch, including:

OpenAI could be on the brink of bankruptcy in under 12 months, with projections of $5 billion in losses
News
By Kevin Okemwa published yesterday
OpenAI might need another round of funding to remain afloat.
https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/openai-could-be-on-the-brink-of-bankruptcy-in-under-12-months-with-projections-of-dollar5-billion-in-losses?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR3Q11gnyBhMJ00TThabsO7PLbGC976bB5tC63KO5NkU2w_azjyrCFDYCRY_aem_ghCoI8VKDqehi6JWWlYB2g
What you need to know
OpenAI is reportedly on the verge of bankruptcy with projections of a $5 billion loss.
The startup spends $7 billion on training its AI models and $1.5 billion on staffing.
The ChatGPT maker’s operation costs aren’t satisfied by the approximate $3.5 billion generated in revenue.
The booming AI business strategy is placing major tech corporations invested in the landscape on a profitable path. In the past few months, we’ve watched Microsoft, Apple, and NVIDIA battle for the world’s most valuable company crown. Market analysts attribute their growth in revenue and profits to their early investment in and adoption of the technology across their products and services.
Ironically, OpenAI, a key player in the AI landscape, could make losses amounting to $5 billion in 2024. According to a report by The Information, the ChatGPT maker might be on the brink of bankruptcy, with projections indicating it could run out of cash in the next 12 months.
For context, OpenAI spends up to $700,000 daily to keep ChatGPT running. The amount is likely to fluctuate as the model becomes more sophisticated and advanced.
The report sheds more light on OpenAI’s financial status, citing that the firm is well on its way to spending a whopping $7 billion on training its AI models and an additional $1.5 billion on staffing. These expenses alone stack miles ahead of its rivals’ expenditure predictions for 2024.
OpenAI reportedly receives discounted access to Microsoft’s Azure services.
According to a report by Appfigures, GPT-4o’s launch led to the “biggest spike ever” in OpenAI’s ChatGPT revenue and downloads on mobile. The start generates up to $2 billion annually from ChatGPT and an additional $ 1 billion from LLM access fees, translating to an approximate total revenue of between $3.5 billion and $4.5 billion annually.
However, this barely covers the firm’s operational costs.
It’s worth noting that the company has already gone through seven rounds of funding, raising over $11 billion, and is currently valued at $80 billion. It’s also reported that OpenAI is running near total capacity, with 290,000 of its 350,000 servers dedicated to its AI assistant, ChatGPT.
