⚡️Amazon Joins the Chatbot Race

Amazon is joining the Chatbot race to compete against ChatGPT.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has expanded its partnership with AI startup Hugging Face to make Hugging Face’s language generation tool available to cloud customers as building blocks for their own applications.

• Hugging Face will build the next version of its language model, 'BLOOM', on AWS.

• They're also working on open-source rivals to OpenAI's ChatGPT, using AWS.

AWS customers can now access Hugging Face AI tools through Amazon’s SageMaker program, and Hugging Face’s developers can use Amazon’s cloud computing power and AI chips. More info here.

🤖 Microsoft is Testing ChatGPT in Robots

Microsoft researchers have published a paper revealing their testing of OpenAI's ChatGPT technology in robots. The goal is to extend the capabilities of ChatGPT into robotics and to make natural human-robot interactions possible. 

The paper showcases the use of ChatGPT in controlling mechanical arms and drones to perform various tasks. 

The researchers state:

• “Our goal with this research is to see if ChatGPT can think beyond text”

• They want to teach ChatGPT how to “solve problems considering the laws of physics"

The research is still in its early stages, but it will be thrilling to watch how it progresses and see where other AI and robotics applications lead.

🎧 Spotify Introduces AI 

Spotify has introduced a new AI-powered feature called "DJ," which provides personalized music recommendations to users.

The feature uses OpenAI's generative AI and Sonantic's dynamic AI voice to create a unique music-listening experience. Here's how the magic works:

1. DJ learns the user's music taste by analyzing their playlists and songs and provides a curated lineup of new and old songs that the user will likely enjoy.

2. The recommendations improve as the user listens more.

3. If the user doesn't like the current playlist, they can switch to a different genre, artist, or mood with just a tap of the DJ button (and DJ learns your dislikes)

It can be accessed through the Music Feed on Home in the Spotify mobile app and is currently only available for premium users in US & Canada.

💰 Business Idea of the Day 

AI is on track to contribute $15.7 trillion to the global economy in 2030. Here is today's idea to take advantage of the opportunity right now:

Idea: An HR Chatbot powered by GPT-3

Problem: HR departments in many organizations face a high volume of repetitive and time-consuming tasks. This can lead to HR staff becoming overwhelmed and not being able to effectively perform their other duties.

Solution: An HR Chatbot powered by GPT-3 automates these tasks and provides real-time, accurate information for tedious, common questions. This leaves HR departments to have time for more time-consuming, challenging tasks.

Example: An HR Chatbot could be integrated into a company's internal communication platform, like Slack, to answer simple employee questions on benefits and policies. This service could be offered on a subscription basis or for a fee.
