Good morning.
As we break into 2023, AI news is already starting to heat up with word that Microsoft is in talks to acquire 49% of OpenAI, the creators of ChatGPT. We're expecting 2023 to be the year of major AI announcements and acquisitions as companies realize that AI strategy will be the key differentiator for the future.
We have a lot to cover today.
Let's go.
In today's issue:
??MOST INNOVATIVE PRODUCT: You.com
With the global popularity of ChatGPT, this week we're featuring another search engine with AI woven into its core —?You.com.
Some say it's better than Google — it's definitely different, and allows you to search in new ways and with more options than traditional search engines.
You.com?built its product to be centered around?you, the user. It aims to save you time by showing the right content quicker, and displaying information in a way that allows comparison at a glance, without having to open individual links.

Microsoft explores $10B investment in OpenAI
OpenAI is building a ChatGPT-powered iOS app, with an iMessage-like interface
Google AI Introduces Muse, says its better than DALL-E 2
Google has?announced?a new text-to-image generation/editing model that it says is quicker than competing methods because it uses parallel decoding and a compact, discrete latent space.
Compared to pixel-space diffusion models, such as Imagen and DALL-E 2, Muse is significantly more efficient due to the use of discrete tokens and requiring fewer sampling iterations; compared to autoregressive models, such as Parti, Muse is more efficient due to the use of parallel decoding. — Google?Muse AI team
UK Government launches ￡7M freight tech fund
The UK government has?made ￡7M in funding available?to businesses developing technologies that decarbonize the freight sector by incorporating technology such as artificial intelligence. According to the report, up to 36 SMEs will receive a share of the funding from the freight innovation fund in the next three years.
“This fund will accelerate new ideas and technologies, helping to develop a future pipeline of innovations that can be rolled out to create jobs and allow everyone to get their goods faster and easier,” said Richard Holden, roads minister.

A new system of AI regulation is coming to the UK
UK-based firms working with Artificial Intelligence systems should?start to prepare?for regulatory compliance in line with upcoming legislation.
In July 2022, the UK government proposed six cross-sector principles that will form the basis of the regulatory framework. Notably, the UK's approach is quite different to the planned AI Act of the EU.
Here's what firms should start to think about in the meantime:

Schools are blocking ChatGPT
