Nvidia new AI system ?Neuralangelo“ turns 2d videos into 3d surface models
英伟达 has published an AI system called Neuralangelo that can generate 3D models of objects found in 2D videos by using different video frames of the objects to create the 3D model [1].
Generative AI tool to support accelerated drug development and design
Researchers at Ohio State University have developed a generative AI framework called G2Retro to automatically generate / predict chemical reactions for given molecules and could by that accelerate the drug development and design processes significantly [2].
UAE’s Technology Innovation Institute has made the most powerful Open Source LLM royality free for commercial and research use
The Falcon 40B LLM that, based on the Huggingface leaderboard, outperforms all other open source on typical LLM tasks, is now free of royalties for commercial and research use. It has previously been published under the permissive Apache 2.0 license. Falcon-40B was trained on AWS SageMaker, on 384 A100 40GB GPUs. Training took 2 months. 4Bit Quantized versions have been made running for inference in an experimental setup on a single A100-40G but I guess a more realistic setup for inference (non-production) might be 2x A100-80G [3].
Andrew Ng has announced 3 free new short courses on generative AI
Courses cover #chatgpt API and prompt engineering for developers, #langchain and diffusion models [4].
AI drone simulation by US Military turns on its human operator
In an US Air Force drone simulation (that was later declared hypothetical / denied) the drone decided to “kill” its human operator to prevent it from stopping its efforts to achieve the mission. SkyNet is getting ready ;-) [5].
Japan’s government reaffirmed that copyright does not apply to AI training
Japan’s government reaffirmed that it will not enforce copyrights on data used in AI training. Within this policy, AI can use any data “regardless of whether it is for non-profit or commercial purposes, whether it is an act other than reproduction, or whether it is content obtained from illegal sites or otherwise” [6].
The Internet Archive site was most likely brought down by rouge AI training
Tens of thousands of requests per second for the Archive.org public domain OCR files were launched from 64 virtual hosts on amazon’s AWS services. (Even by web standards,10’s of thousands of requests per second is a lot.) [7]

OpenAI has created a trust and security portal for their API with security, compliance and privacy documentation
You will have to request access from OpenAI to be able to review sensitive security details and to unlock documents [8].
At Computex, Nvidia announced DGX GH200, their next version of GPU supercomputers
500x more memory that the DGX A100, 1 exaflop of performance and 144 terabytes of shared memory, new NVLink Switch System combining the 256 GH200 chips and allowing them to perform as a single GPU. 7X increased bandwidth between CPU / GPU compared to the latest PCI technology by combining the 英伟达 Grace CPU with the H100 GPU in one packages. Expected to be available by the end of the year [9].
AI has already started to replace human jobs
Artificial intelligence contributed to nearly 4,000 job losses last month, according to data from outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. Their report shows that layoff announcements from U.S.-based employers reached more than 80,000 in May — a 20% jump from the prior month and nearly four times the level for the same month last year. AI was responsible for 3,900, or about 5% of these jobs losses, making it the seventh-highest contributor to employment losses in May [10].
AI passes advertising test described as an AI Turing test for the first time
AI-generated advertisements proved generally indistinguishable from human-made ads, fooled marketing experts and outperformed typical US print ads on tests that measured creativity and potential to spur emotional responses [11].
