1. DDoS Attack Targets ChatGPT and OpenAI's API 🚨

OpenAI recently faced a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, causing outages for services like ChatGPT. The company detected abnormal traffic patterns indicative of a DDoS attack and is actively working on mitigation. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman noted that the usage of new features exceeded expectations, leading to a staggered rollout and potential short-term instability.

2. JPMorgan Collaborates with US Regulators on AI Projects 🏦

JPMorgan Chase & Co. is actively working with U.S. regulators on its generative AI pilot projects. The bank is ensuring that all necessary controls are in place as it seeks to lead in AI deployment within the highly regulated financial industry. Lori Beer, JPMorgan’s global chief information officer, emphasized the importance of helping regulators understand the construction and control of these AI models, as well as the new risks they present.

3. The Singularity Could Arrive by 2031, Says AI Expert 🤖

According to AI expert Ben Goertzel, the singularity – the point where AI surpasses human control – might occur within the next 3 to 8 years. This prediction is based on the rapid development of AI across various sectors. The push towards Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), capable of performing tasks as well as humans, is seen as a key step towards this singularity. However, there's still debate on how close we truly are to achieving AGI and the subsequent singularity.

4. Microsoft Patents AI-Powered Therapy App 🧠

Microsoft has filed a patent for an AI therapist app designed to provide emotional support. This AI can process imagery and text, building a "memory" of the user's life and emotional triggers. It's intended for general emotional support rather than emergency situations. The AI can ask prompting questions and make suggestions based on emotional cues. However, the effectiveness and safety of such AI in handling complex mental health situations remain a subject of debate.

5. Bill Gates Says We’ll All Have AI Assistants in 5 Years 😲

Bill Gates envisions a future where AI acts as super-helpful assistants, transforming them from potential existential threats to admin-busters. Gates predicts that within five years, AI agents will understand and execute tasks through everyday language, making software more intuitive and less reliant on human input.

It’s here! 😱

It’s here! 😱

In one of the most highly anticipated updates in the GenAI space in like forever, OpenAI’s Custom GPTs feature is live for most ChatGPT Plus users.

Naturally, we deliver with a breakdown of what it is, how it works, and we build a simple custom GPT live.

Go check out today’s AI in 5.

🤷‍♂️ What’s Going On and Why It Matters:

If you LOVE data and AI, who should you be rooting for? 

Should we want Generative AI to handle all that data work for us? Or will humans always have a seat at the data analysis table? 

Will AI replace traditional tools like spreadsheets, BI dashboards and databases?

Zain Hoda helped us figure it all out. 

Zain is the CTO at Vanna AI, and he joined the Everyday AI show to talk about how AI is changing data analysis and give us his insider tips. 

So whether you’re an SQL expert, or just trying to understand if ChatGPT can create that Excel formula you’ve been Googling for the past hour, today’s show is for you.

(Wait, did you figure out that formula yet or no? We can’t either.) 

Zain helped clear up what’s happening in the data world right now.

Some hot topics and detailed dives we covered:

• Potential for AI to replace traditional data analysis tools like spreadsheets and databases

• Advantages of using generative AI to generate SQL queries

• Regulatory concerns, especially in heavily regulated fields like healthcare and finance

• Hesitation in using generative AI models with data due to confidentiality concerns

• Misconceptions around GPT 4 and advanced data analysis due to lack of exposure

• Use of AI to accelerate the process of answering business user questions

….. and SO much more.

So what’s it all mean?

Let’s dig in y’all! 🥄

(Side note, I’m a cereal killer. Used to crush a box a day!)
