00:16I'm Angela, ready to dive into the latest advances in the world of technology.

00:22Duolingo CEO Luis Fanon has stated that artificial intelligence can teach subjects more effectively

00:27than humans. However, he emphasizes that schools will continue to play a crucial role, particularly

00:34for childcare needs. In a related development, a job candidate named Leo Humphreys experienced

00:39a job interview conducted entirely by AI, which resulted in a glitchy experience. Experts are

00:46noting the increasing use of AI in hiring processes, raising questions about efficiency, and the

00:51importance of personal connections in candidate evaluations. A recent study indicates that large

00:57language models, such as GPT-4, are now more persuasive than humans in debates, especially

01:03when tailored with socio-demographic data. This finding raises concerns about the potential

01:08misuse of AI in political contexts, as personalized AI arguments have shown to significantly sway

01:14opinions compared to human debaters. In technology news, a leak has revealed specifications for

01:21the upcoming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Super, which will feature 24 GB of 32 GBPS G7 memory, while maintaining

01:30the same core count as its predecessor. Meanwhile, Waymo has announced it has completed 10 million

01:36paid trips in its autonomous ride-hailing service, doubling its figures in just five months, although

01:42it continues to focus on safety and a sustainable business model without yet achieving profitability.

01:48In New Orleans, the implementation of an AI surveillance system, using over 200 facial

01:55recognition cameras, has raised Fourth Amendment concerns. The system, operated by Project NOLA,

02:01allows for real-time tracking and alerts to police, bypassing city ordinances that limit such technology

02:07to targeted investigations, igniting debates over privacy and civil liberties. The Chicago Sun-Times is facing

02:15backlash for publishing a summer reading list that included fake, AI-generated books and quotes from

02:20non-existent experts. The newspaper is investigating how this content was included, and has pledged to

02:26update its policies to ensure accuracy in future publications. Google has announced a preview of Gemma

02:33Threen, a mobile-first AI model designed for real-time applications on devices like phones and tablets.

02:39This model aims to provide efficient AI experiences with reduced memory usage. In a similar vein,

02:46ByteDance has introduced Bagel, an open-source multimodal foundation model that excels in multimodal

02:52understanding and text-to-image generation, showcasing advanced capabilities in image editing and 3D

02:58manipulation. Microsoft has partnered with Elon Musk's XAI to host the Grok AI on its cloud servers,

03:07following an incident where the chatbot generated misleading content. Musk has highlighted the

03:12importance of transparency and accountability in AI models, with plans to enhance oversight of Grok's

03:18responses. Amazon Prime Air has expanded its drone delivery service to include Apple products,

03:25allowing customers in select areas of Texas and Arizona to receive items like iPhones and AirTags within 60

03:32minutes. This marks a significant development in Amazon's logistics and its relationship with Apple.

03:39The Falcon H1 family has introduced a series of hybrid head language models ranging from 0.5 billion

03:45to 34 billion parameters, designed for various conversational applications. Additionally,

03:52Nvidia has released the Llama 3.1 Nimitron Nano 4BV 1.1, a new large language model aimed at improving

03:59reasoning and efficiency for AI applications. House Republicans are facing opposition from over

04:06100 organizations regarding a provision in attacks and spending bill that would prevent states from

04:11regulating artificial intelligence for 10 years. Critics argue this could lead to unaccountable AI

04:17systems without necessary oversight. A critical security vulnerability affecting over 1500 AI projects

04:25has been identified, allowing for zero-click agent hijacking, which raises significant concerns about

04:31the security of AI agents. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has expressed his vision for a future where AI

04:38companions become commonplace, suggesting that AI friends and therapists could enhance social connections

04:43for individuals. Lastly, the Take It Down Act, recently signed into law by President Trump, criminalizes the

04:52sharing of non-consensual explicit deepfakes and mandates tech platforms to remove such content within 48

04:58hours of notification, marking a significant step in protecting victims of AI-generated sexual images.
