Some Quotable Quotes from Industry Leaders “ChatGPT and other Generative AI platforms will have huge implications for business productivity.” “In a world where ChatGPT and other AI apps can do many things humans once needed to do themselves or needed to hire other humans to do, the question of ‘how will I add value?’ becomes more relevant than ever.” “How will you add value in the era of generative AI? If you aren’t attempting to answer this question now by choice, it will ultimately be answered for you by force.” “In an era of generative AI, trust will accrue greater value in the marketplace. People will elevate trust on their list of prerequisites to purchase and prerequisites to engage with content. Furthermore, there will be a redistribution of income and assets from companies and people who are less trusted to those companies and people who are more trusted.” “In the age of generative AI, trust brokers will become increasingly necessary and increasingly valuable in the marketplace.” ― Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr, CEO of Mayflower-Plymouth, Business Essentials Infographic on How Marketers are Moving with Generative AIGenerative AI is one of the most groundbreaking advancements in recent years, a cutting-edge technology revolutionizing how marketers engage with their audiences. As Humans, What Should Be Your Concern about Large Language Models? “On generative AI, LLMs, etc. Humans acquire language and communication skills from a diverse range of sources, including raw, unfiltered, and unstructured content. However, when it comes to relying on knowledge, humans tend to rely on transparent, trusted, and structured sources. In contrast, ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs) use a vast array of opaque, unattested sources of raw, unfiltered, and unstructured content as their means of language and communication training and as the source of information used in their responses. While this approach has proven to be effective in generating natural language, it has also been inconsistent and, at times, significantly lacking in integrity in its responses. While it may provide information, it does not necessarily provide knowledge. To be truly useful, generative AI must be able to separate language and communication training from the acquisition of knowledge to be used in its responses. This will allow LLMs to not only generate coherent and fluent language but also to provide accurate and reliable information to users. However, in a culture that values self-proclaimed influencers where transparency and accuracy is secondary, it has become increasingly challenging to separate reliable information from misinformation and knowledge from ignorance. This poses a significant obstacle for AI algorithms that strive to provide accurate and trustworthy responses.” “The danger of generative AI is that it lacks the ability to understand misinformation, leading to incorrectly equating correlation with causation based on incomplete/inaccurate data or lack of contextual awareness required to understand sensitive dependencies between data sets. The unintended consequence is technology shaping societal views on politics, culture and science.” ― Tom Golway

The Chatter around ChatGPT
In a new TED Talk, OpenAI co-founder and president Greg Brockman shows off the power and potential of the all-new ChatGPT plugins…and the results are stunning.
Yup! Thanks to ChatGPT plugins, ChatGPT can now traverse the internet and interact with third-party services and applications, resulting in AI agents that can take actions in the real world to help us with our work. In the talk, Brockman shows off how knowledge workers will soon work hand-in-hand with machines—and how this is going to start changing things months (or even weeks) from now, not years. Listen here and decode what it means for the future of work. The Secret list of Websites that make AI like ChatGPT sound smart. RedditWants to Get Paid for Helping to Teach Big A.I. Systems. Elon Musk threatening Microsoft with lawsuits based on training. Stability AI releases a new open-source language model, StableLM. Not to Be Left Behind — The Rush to Compete for Market Share.
Significant updates from Google --
AI research team, Brain, would merge with DeepMind, creating Google DeepMind. Google is working on a project titled “Magi.” It involves completing transactions, such as buying shoes or booking flight — all while still incorporating the existing – and lucrative – Google search ads. New York Times has confirmed some AI features will roll out in the US this year and that ads will remain a part of AI-powered search results. Google announced Bard had been updated with new features to help you code. Bard can now generate code and help you debug code. As these updates rolled out, reporting from Bloomberg revealed that some Google employees think the company is making ethical lapses by rushing the development of AI tools, particularly around Bard and the accuracy of its responses.
Other Google projects.
Feeling the Heat
AI companies like OpenAI are coming under fire for how AI tools are trained, and social media channels like Reddit and Twitter are pushing back.
Reddit, which is often scraped to train language models, just announced it would charge for API access, in order to stop AI companies from training models on Reddit data without compensation. And Elon Musk publicly threatened to sue Microsoft for, he says, “illegally using Twitter data” to train models. Other companies are sure to follow suit. An investigative report by the Washington Post recently found that large language models from Google and Meta trained on data from major websites like Wikipedia, The New York Times, and Kickstarter. In one example, the Post found models had trained on an ebook piracy site and likely did not have permission to use the data it trained on. Not to mention, the copyright symbol appeared more than 200 million times in the data set the Post studied. Ethical Quandary
We’ve arrived at a fork in the road, and a decision must now be made.
To be blunt, choosing the wrong path forward could result in the complete implosion of the creative community. AI should be embraced as a creative tool, not as a replacement to human creators! Artificial intelligence is the hottest and most talked about happenings in the tech world. If you would like to know the best AI tools available for enhancing productivity, improving writing, and generating multimedia content, including sounds and videos, you are in the right place. From AI tools that enhances your writing to creating images for use on social media platforms to video enhancers capable of deleting objects and creating virtual avatars, here are some of the AI helpers to galvanize human creativity and exploring the broad-ranging scope of how AI works.

Answers for Common Concerns about AI
When Bitcoin came into being about more than a decade ago, it set about to solve a big challenge: peer to peer monetary transaction — making it possible for “strangers anywhere in the world to make financial transactions over the internet without financial intermediaries and payment processors like Visa or Mastercard assisting the transaction.” This tech know-how that makes decentralized transactions possible — and which created the universe of cryptocurrencies as we have comr to know — is called a blockchain. But, blockchains previously had one major downside compared to centralized networks like the ones credit-card companies use: they’re slower. As of August 2021, Ethereum typically processes fewer than 15 transactions per second, compared to tens of thousands for Visa’s network. Solana, on the other hand is one of many new crypto solutions aiming to make crypto networks faster and more scalable. It uses a suite of clever technologies, including a novel mechanism called “proof of history.” Solana Dreams Big. With over $30 billion market cap, Solana isn’t interested in competing with Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies on every front. All it really wants is to completely disrupt Wall Street and the rest of the global markets. Solana is building “an open, fair, censorship-resistant global marketplace” that’s better than anything inside of the New York Stock Exchange or any other means of settling trades. With many developers flocking to Solana, here are some of the exciting projects that are happening on the Solana blockchain. A Metaverse Platform for Androids, Aliens and Humans Build, Own, Earn is the mantra of Star Atlas — a blockchain-based multiplayer exploration game. The game is still in its early stages of development, but some parts of its metaverse have already been opened for exploration as it undergoes a staged release. Star Atlas claims it’s the ultimate haven of “universe of opportunities” thanks to its dual economy, which uses ATLAS tokens as its main currency and POLIS tokens for governance.

THE HARSH REALITY IS THAT IT IS INCREASINGLY HARD TO EXCITE AND INSPIRE AUDIENCES WHO ARE OVERWHELMED AND OVERSTIMULATED
AR and AI is seeing breakthroughs within product development — moving from a showcase novelty to functionality that the majority of the customers use.
To keep customers inside their brand eco-system, many fashion and cosmetic brands are partnering with gaming companies to entice their customers with perpetual call to action.
Emerging social media networks, including those focused on gaming such as Fortnite or Tencent’s mobile game Honour of Kings, which have fast become integral to youth culture.
In China, brands such as Mac Cosmetics, L’Oréal and Hong Kong jeweller Chow Sang Sang have all partnered with Honour of Kings, which has more than 200 million registered players of whom more than half are female (and women mobile gamers are 79 percent more likely to make an in-app purchase)

What does the Value Gain from AI look like?
Why this progression towards AI?
Over the past decade, almost all aspects of our work and our life – from retail to manufacturing to healthcare – have become increasingly digitized. "The internet and mobile technologies drove the first wave of digital, known as the Internet of People."
However, analysis carried out by PwC’s AI specialists anticipates that the data generated from the Internet of Things (IoT) will outstrip the data generated by the Internet of People many times over. "This increased data is already resulting in standardization, which naturally leads to automation, and the personalization of products and services, which is setting off the next wave of digital. AI will exploit the digital data from people and things to automate and assist in what we do today, as well as find new ways of doing things that we’ve not imagined before."
With the initiation of 'American A.I. Initiative', the potential uplift to American GDP from AI will be "amplified by the huge opportunities to introduce more productive technologies, many of which are ready to be applied. And the gains will be accelerated by the advanced technological and consumer readiness for AI, along with the impact of rapid accumulation of assets – not just technology, but data touch points and the flows of information and customer insight that come with them."
What is the potential impact of AI in your sector? --
Healthcare, Automotive, Financial Services, Transportation and Logistics, Technology Communication and Entertainment, Retail, Energy and Manufacturing.
"AI is likely to be, and how much value potential is up for grabs. AI could contribute up to $15.7 trillion1 to the global economy in 2030, more than the current output of China and India combined. Of this, $6.6 trillion is likely to come from increased productivity and $9.1 trillion is likely to come from consumption-side effects."

“The Cosmos is all that is or was or ever will be. Our feeblest contemplations of the Cosmos stir us -- there is a tingling in the spine, a catch in the voice, a faint sensation, as if a distant memory, of falling from a height. We know we are approaching the greatest of mysteries.”
― Carl Sagan, Cosmos
Design, architecture and technology merged to bring this mysterious sensation within the grasp of our immediate touch. It takes fearless humility to accept the vastness of this universe. The most effective way, I believe, even to comprehend it, is using the scientific and technological tools that are available at our disposal. Though science is in a state of unfading revolution, always subject to revision and never envisioning the complete reality, it does give you "successive approximations of reality."

Emphasis is the principle by which an artist draws attention to particular content. A focal point is a specific place of visual emphasis in a work of art or design. Most works of art have at least one area of emphasis and multiple focal points.
An artist can emphasize focal points through the use of line, implied line, value, color or as it so happens in this case, more than 14,000 LED lights. " Like the bull’s-eye on a target, focal points concentrate our attention. Even though our field of vision is fairly wide, at any given moment we can only focus our vision on a small area. The physiology of vision underlies the principle of focal point. _"

"The three-minute clip shows how the white-washed church exterior opens up into a kaleidoscope of color, design and shape-shifting splendor that references everything from microorganisms to embroidery."
Built in a Neo-Gothic style but inflenced by the Moroccan Muslim, the huge Cathédrale Sacré-Coeur is a surprising delight in the heart o Casablanca. French transmedia installation designer Miguel Chevalier created magic on the floor by projecting animation that turned the institution's massive floor into a multicolored, reactive art experience.
In the artist's very own words.
Magic Carpets revisit the tradition of the Islamic art, in particular the mosaic and the carpets.
A huge light carpet covers the floor of Sacré Coeur church. When the viewer moves, the trajectory of the curves is disrupted under their feet. This world of colors and forms in movement, invites us into the magic universe of the "Arabian Nights" and the flying carpets with the music of Michel Redolfi.
This installation has been made possible thanks to the French Institut et de Voxels Productions.
