BREAKING: The European Union just passed the AI Act, a major new set of rules that will cover the building and use of AI, including by giants like Google and OpenAI. It's a milestone law that could create a blueprint for the rest of the world. wired.trib.al/CHJnCOp

Mildly put, this is sad and disappointing. For a country that intends to attract and retain top talent from across the globe, this is simply unacceptable.

This very visual and audible display of #GenerativeAI 's power is mind-boggling, exciting, and scary ... one more logical step in the fast-accelerating #AIJourney or a major break-through for OpenAI and Figure? #FutureRobotics #AdvancedAI #FutureTech #MindblowingTech

Another sign of the #AIHype. No detailed financial analysis needed to conclude that this valuation is built on shaky grounds; still confirms that Nvidia is a tech & AI powerhouse If Nvidia Keeps Rising Like This, It Will Be Bigger Than the Global Economy nytimes.com/2024/03/15/bus…
