SECURITIES EXCHANGE COMMISSION

The Rundown: Gary Gensler, The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair, stressed the need for a regulatory overhaul on AI, stating that it could increase financial instability.

Key points:

  • Gensler states that AI is "the most transformative technology of our time"

  • Companies must ensure their use of AI doesn't breach securities rules

  • Publicly traded companies must not mislead investors through their statements and disclosures about the risks/opportunities of AI

  • The SEC reportedly plans to consider new rules on these issues as early as this fall

Why it matters: Just within the last few days, we had FTC investigating ChatGPT for potential impacts on consumer data privacy, and now the SEC is coming for AI. Regulation is most definitely coming, folks.

NATURE

The Rundown: A new study published in Nature explores how AI can aid and expand scientific discoveries by predicting and generating hypotheses that humans might not consider.

Details:

  • Researchers built models that generated scientifically promising "alien" hypotheses that are unlikely to be considered by humans until the distant future

  • Demonstrations suggest that AI is aware of human activity and can help push scientific understanding

  • The AI could predict future discoveries with a 400% improvement over models focused only on research content

  • The AI predicted with over 40% precision the actual people who would make these discoveries based on their experiences or relationships

Why it matters: The study shows how AI can turbocharge our scientific explorations, helping us make faster discoveries and even come up with brilliant ideas humans wouldn't naturally think of.

WIX

The Rundown: Wix, a popular template-based website builder, just unveiled their conversational AI website generator, which will let you create entire websites by typing a description into a box and answering a few questions.

Details:

  • Allows users to create a complete website, filled with text, images, and business solutions within seconds

  • Leverages OpenAI's ChatGPT for text creation, along with Wix's proprietary AI models for other aspects

  • More new features to be introduced include the AI Assistant Tool, the AI Page and Section Creator, and an Object Eraser feature

  • Wix CEO, Avishai Abrahami, emphasized commitment to leveraging AI power to advance website creation and grow businesses

Our take: Wix is taking no-code to the next level. And the crazy part? It’s probably only scratching the surface of what will be available in the next few years.

QUICK HITS

AI content platform startup Jasper AI, which raised $125M in a Series A round nine months ago, has laid off an unspecified number of employees, according to CEO Dave Rogenmoser.

This is amid intense competition in the generative AI market and declining website traffic. It turns out not all GPT wrappers are sunshine and rainbows.

MLCommons just launched MedPerf, a new platform designed to benchmark and evaluate medical AI models using diverse real-world data, aiming to enhance the effectiveness of AI, reduce bias, and build public trust in AI's use in healthcare.

Following massive controversy over an AI-created winning art piece at the 2022 Colorado State Fair, organizers have confirmed that AI-generated art WILL be accepted in the Digital Art category in the 2023 competition (but must be labeled as such).
