1. U.S. Urges China and Russia to Confirm Humans Control Nuclear Decisions ☢️

A senior U.S. official calls on China and Russia to echo the commitment made by the U.S., France, and Britain that only humans, not AI, will decide on nuclear weapon deployment. This move aims to establish a norm of responsible behavior among the P5 nations regarding nuclear weapons management and artificial intelligence. As the U.S. administration seeks to deepen discussions with China on these critical issues, the global spotlight shines on the intersection of AI and nuclear policy.

2. Microsoft and Axel Springer's Partnership 🤝

Axel Springer and Microsoft are teaming up to bring cutting-edge AI to journalism worldwide, ensuring the future of independent media. This collaboration will introduce new AI-driven experiences for users and advertisers, enhancing content offerings from Business Insider, POLITICO, and more. By migrating to Microsoft Azure, Axel Springer aims to boost scalability and reliability across its digital infrastructure, setting the stage for a global market leader in digital content.

3. Sam Altman Reveals OpenAI's Vision for AI Integration 🤖

Sam Altman, the brains behind OpenAI, spills the tea on their groundbreaking vision for AI integration in our daily lives. From envisioning AI as our all-knowing super-competent colleague to hinting at cloud-based AI apps revolutionizing our tasks, Altman's insights shake up the tech world. With a glimpse into a future where new hardware might be a thing of the past, OpenAI's game-changing approach promises a paradigm shift in how we interact with artificial intelligence.

Also in a discussion at Stanford, Altman also called GPT-4 the ‘dumbest model’ and that it was ‘slightly embarrassing at best.’

4. NVIDIA's RTX GPUs Take the Lead Against AI PCs 🚀

NVIDIA's recent showcase highlighted the superiority of RTX GPUs over AI PCs equipped with NPUs, showcasing their prowess in handling basic AI workloads and outperforming NPUs in both performance and quality. With performance ratings ranging from 100 to 1300+ TOPS, depending on the GPU, NVIDIA categorizes RTX GPUs as premium AI equipment, surpassing NPUs in the basic AI equipment category. The benchmarks revealed RTX GPUs outperforming competitors in content creation applications and large language models.

5. OpenAI closer to releasing its own Search Engine? 🕵️

As we previously reported on, OpenAI is rumored to launch its own search engine, as evidenced by recent SSL certificate logs and rumors of an upcoming event on May 9th. It is expected to be different from Google Search and will provide an alternative to existing search engines.

The company has been hiring for events staff and may release a new model at the event. The search engine is expected to be different from Google Search and will provide another option for users.

Shots fired at Google and Perplexity? We think so.

Claude 3 Opus for Data Analysis

Do you hate spending hours on spreadsheets and graphs?

We’re showing you how you can leverage Anthropic Claude 3 to become your AI assistant for data analysis.

Or see this related video:

🦾How You Can Leverage:

Got a weird feeling in your stomach about how AI may impact your company or job? 

(Or maybe fish tacos at lunch were a bad choice?)

We can’t help with the latter, but we’ve got some gems incoming to deal with that uncertainty that comes with how AI may impact your business future. 

Coming in for the assist on turning that uneasiness into an actionable plan forward was Luv Tulsidas, the Founder and CEO of Techolution. 

Luv’s seen the impact AI can have on companies first-hand. 

His company not only helps consult enterprise companies on shifting their focus to AI, but they’ve also gone through that same transformation themselves. 

Luv shared the ups and downs, tackled the uneasy questions, and laid out a clear path forward for your business. 

Ready to ditch those uneasy feelings and feel a bit more secure about your business future with AI? 

Saaaaame, shorties. 

Today’s show is definitely worth a watch/listen, but here’s the bullet points of what you need to know. 👇

1 – Our jobs aren’t going to look the same 🧑‍🎨️

Luv has more AI employees than actual employees. 

Techolution is a 500-person tech consulting company that also ‘employs’ 1,000 AI employees. That might be a common scenario for businesses that thrive in the age of AI, Luv said. 

(Side note — we’re a fan of Luv’s approach of growing WITH GenAI instead of cutting jobs BECAUSE of GenAI.) 

Here’s how our roles might look — AI assistants become our apprentice. We teach them. They learn from us. And that frees up human time, Luv said. 

That might force smart humans away from the mundane aspects of a job they didn’t ever really like, and free them instead to build something greater and grander with AI assistants or agents working under them. 

Try this: 

We hope that all companies will grow responsibly and ethically with AI. But, that might not always be the case.

We offered a slightly different point of view in our 1 Year Anniversary Episode for Everyday AI titled: ‘Will AI take our jobs,” which we think is worth checking out. 

2 – ROI on AI may take time 🎯

Want results tomorrow? 

That’s not how AI works, Luv said. But here’s the key when you do want to turn a big ROI on GenAI. 

Like everything else, there’s riches in the niches. 

If you’re looking for a broad, long-term, top-to-bottom GenAI rollout, it might take forever and a half to realize the benefit. 

But when you find niche applications and attack them with data and strategy = Yahtzee. Or a trump card in euchre (Jordan’s a huge euchre fan).

Try this: 

Luv shared some of Techolution’s wins first-hand. He found the process of his team creating Statements of Work and Requests for Proposals was a time-sucking, laborious process. 

Turns out AI was better. And faster. (And ultimately, cheaper.) 

If you missed this chat, it’s a must watch, as James Daniell of LanzaTech, a $62 million company, walked us through the behind-the-scenes of how they turned their biz IP into their own version of ChatGPT. 

And yeah, AI has a huge ROI in case you were wondering. 

3 – Pick the right battle 🧍

Whether you realize it or not, surviving in this new age of business is a battle. 

Doesn’t matter if you’re a trillion dollar company or small biz. Generative AI is a technology the world has never seen before. And it levels the playing field. 

If you’re a $100 million company dragging your feet on AI, that $10 million dollar competitor that’s all-in on AI might eat your dang lunch. 

Hom-nom.

Or, if you’re the small fish in the big pond, a sound AI strategy can morph you into the killer whale. 

Luv laid out the strategy — it’s all about picking the right battle. 

Try this: 

Your AI projects gotta align with business strategies and core competencies. And Luv said it's important to focus on achievable, practical AI applications rather than chasing trends.

Don’t fight a battle you can’t win. But know that GenAI gives you new business weapons you’ve never had before. 

Not sure where to start? 

Don’t worry, you already know we’ve got you covered fam.
