🥷 The Battle Of AI: Musk, Microsoft, Drake, Reddit….

Ladies, gentlemen, robots, and everything in between….

Take cover.

War is upon us.

In the last week we’ve seen lawsuit threats, banned videos, and petty arguments….

All in the name of AI.

Here’s what’s happened:

• The first shots were fired earlier this year when the US government decided that creators cannot copyright their AI art. Meaning that any art created in Midjourney or DALL-E is not legally yours.

• Universal Music Group threatens a lawsuit over the AI generated song ‘Heart On My Sleeve”. The song used both Drake's and The Weeknd’s voices without permission. It gained over 20 MILLION views in under 2 days before being taken down.

• Both Reddit and Stack Overflow are charging AI developers for access to their content. This is SERIOUS since these conversation sites have been training tools for AI models like ChatGPT and Bard.

• Tom Brady threatened a lawsuit against an AI comedian for using his voice without consent in a video.

The biggest shot was Musk threatening to sue Microsoft for illegally using Twitter data to train their AI language models

Simply put, AI is the cake that everyone wants a slice of.

All of these problems are fighting over the million - dollar question:

How do we decide what is legal vs not in AI?

Until this is clearly answered, we can expect more AI battles to come.

🦾 The Truth Behind Why Google Brain Merged With DeepMind

Last week we talked about Project Magi - Google’s plan to create an AI search engine.

Turns out, Google has more up their sleeve than we thought:

Google Brain has merged with DeepMind to form ‘Google DeepMind’.

They say their partnership is to help "build more capable systems more safely and responsibly”……

I’ve done some digging to find out the TRUTH behind this partnership and what this means.

Honestly… I’m not sure how you’ll take it.

First, let’s start with a breakdown of what these two teams are:

Google has one goal right now: To win the AI race.

The truth is, Google knows they need to unite the two AI teams to win the race and beat Microsoft.

By working together they will:

• Accelerate Project Maji. Adding AI to Google search is no easy feat. With two departments working on it together, it gives them a fighting chance to keep up with OpenAI.

• Give Google an escape after losing $100B after Bard’s disastrous release in February.

• Leave Microsoft in the dust. This means creating the next AI breakthrough. Demis Hassabis (the CEO of DeepMind) says they plan to work towards AGI - An AI that will be smarter and more powerful than humans.

With Google Brain going full speed on AI tech there’s no telling what will be created or how soon AGI will come.

That is what scares everyone.

Google DeepMind says they plan to advance their AI tech in a ‘safe and responsible way’…..

But as we’ve seen before, it will be hard to pull off both at the same time.
