7 April: US-UK AI Safety Pact, OpenAI's Voice Cloning, Google's AI Search Paywall

This week quote: “The talent war for AI is the craziest talent war I’ve ever seen!”, Elon Musk on X that he will increase pay for Tesla’s AI engineering team to combat companies trying to poach its talent.

?? Tech & Law news:

In a groundbreaking move, the US and UK have signed an agreement to collaborate on testing and assessing risks from emerging AI models.

This collaboration will involve sharing technical knowledge, information, and talent on AI safety, as both nations have launched their own AI Safety Institutes

The partnership underscores the growing importance of cooperation between nations.

?? New features:

• OpenAI released Voice Engine tool that can clone your voice with just a 15-second sample. While this technology has the potential to revolutionize voice-based applications, it also raises ethical concerns regarding deepfakes, voice phishing, and unauthorized voice replication. OpenAI plans to mitigate those issues through measures such as limited sample size requirements and explicit consent protocols.
• ChatGPT 3.5 is now accessible without an account or login, although some features remain exclusive to account holders.
• Replit, an AI startup and GitHub competitor, has introduced a product that enables developers to collaborate on projects in real-time, accompanied by an AI agent that automatically fixes coding errors. With plans to develop more AI agents to streamline the coding process, Replit claims its proprietary AI model outperforms GPT-4 in coding benchmarks.

Would you be ready to pay to access advanced AI capabilities from Google or rather prefer to have an ad-supported usage access?
