AI Is Coming Soon To Google Search With 'Magi' As Samsung Considers Bing Default

The New York Times reports that Google is launching a generative AI project called "Magi" for its search engine, offering users a more personalized experience.

It is currently being tested by employees with a public launch set for May, and a limited release to the United States, with up to one million users before increasing to 30 million by the end of the year. Additionally, Google is building a new AI-powered search engine, but it's still in early stages.

'It Presumes To Replace Us': Concerns Of Bias In AI Grow After Elon Musk Issues New Warning

Elon Musk, CEO of Twitter, raised concerns about bias in artificial intelligence (A.I.) on Fox News, warning that leftist programmers can use it to lie and comment selectively.

Musk's comments received support from Fox News contributor Guy Benson, who said that there could be dishonesty in A.I. programming, as humans lie.

Microsoft Looks To ChatGPT AI To Transform Its Digital Ad Business

Microsoft is testing the use of artificial intelligence chat in its Bing search engine. The new feature, called ChatGPT, could transform the company's digital advertising business. Users will see occasional ads, but it is not yet clear how many Bing users are affected. Microsoft has acquired a string of advertising companies and is also in the process of acquiring videogame giant Activision Blizzard Inc. for $75 billion. The acquisition will give Microsoft another property to sell ads. Meanwhile, the company is testing photo and video ads that will appear below a user's conversation with a chatbot. The Wall Street Journal spoke to Kya Sainsbury-Carter, who was recently named as the first woman to lead Microsoft's $18 billion ad business, about artificial intelligence and what it means for digital advertising. She stated that the new Bing and conversational chat are a "major transformational moment" for Microsoft.

Elon Musk Agrees AI Will Hit People 'Like An Asteroid' Says He Used Obama Meeting To Urge Regulation

Elon Musk believes that artificial intelligence (A.I.) will have a significant impact and will hit people “like an asteroid”. He used his only one-on-one meeting with former President Barack Obama to advocate for A.I. regulation, as he saw the impact of A.I. happening well before GPT-1. Musk is reportedly developing X.AI, an A.I. startup, to compete against Microsoft-backed OpenAI, and is also working on an A.I. project at Twitter. He has previously called for a pause in developing A.I. tools more advanced than GPT-4 due to fears of mass-scale misinformation and the mass automation of jobs. Musk has warned about the need for oversight of A.I. development, stating that it is potentially more dangerous than nuclear weapons and needs to operate in the public interest.
