AI Unveiled: 3D Visionaries, Deep Thinkers, and Sales Reps of Tomorrow
Get ready to dive into the wild world of AI! This week, we’re exploring Fei-Fei Li’s latest venture that’s teaching AI to navigate 3D spaces like a pro, OpenAI’s new brainiac model that’s slowing down to think deep thoughts, and Salesforce’s futuristic AI that’s taking over sales roles with a dash of sass. Whether it's transforming virtual worlds, crunching numbers like a math wizard, or managing your next purchase with a virtual high-five, AI is on a roll! Grab your digital passport—this AI adventure is anything but flat!
Fei-Fei Li’s Next AI Adventure: Turning 3D Worlds into AI Reality
Fei-Fei Li, the "AI godmother," just raised a whopping $230 million to kick off her latest AI startup, World Labs. What’s their big idea? Teaching AI to understand the 3D world, not just flat images! While most AI is busy generating snazzy text and pictures, Li’s team is focused on "spatial intelligence," which will power future AR/VR experiences and smarter robots.
With AI heavyweights like Andreessen Horowitz and Nvidia backing them, World Labs is on a mission to build "large world models" (LWMs). Think of these models as AI with a sense of space, able to reason about the real world (and prevent weird glitches like six-fingered hands). Li, who’s made waves before with ImageNet and her work at Google, is pushing AI’s boundaries again—this time, in 3D!
AI o1 Takes a Pause to Think: Smarter, Slower, and Closer to Human Reasoning
OpenAI just dropped its latest brainchild, the o1 model, and this one’s a deep thinker! Unlike its fast-talking predecessors, o1 spends extra time considering complex tasks—especially in science, coding, and math—making it more human-like in its problem-solving approach.
o1’s big win? Crushing the International Math Olympiad exam with an 83% score, leaving GPT-4o in the dust. Using a "chain of thought" technique, o1 learns from its mistakes and breaks down tough problems step by step. However, it's still no AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), as experts like Gary Marcus remind us. For now, o1 may solve crosswords like a PhD student, but it’s not ready to ace everything.
Salesforce’s New AI: The Sales Rep of Tomorrow!
Salesforce has just upped the game with their latest innovation, Agentforce—a slick AI system that doesn't just chat, but acts like your personal sales rep, service agent, or even a personal shopper. This AI isn't just about answering questions; it’s designed to think and reason, making it a step beyond your typical chatbot.
The real kicker? This tech isn’t just for show. With its "low code" tool, businesses can whip up their own agents without needing a PhD in programming. And while it’s priced at $2 per conversation, this smart AI is set to handle tasks like a pro, from making sales to managing customer service.
But before we get too excited, remember: with great AI power comes great responsibility. While Agentforce promises efficiency, it also raises eyebrows about job replacement and potential AI mishaps. But hey, at least it’s a step towards more intuitive and capable AI in the workplace!
Even More AI.
