Sundar Pichai announced the beginning of the second phase of the artificial intelligence revolution

Sundar Pichai, head of Alphabet, shared his vision of the future in an interview with The Verge publication. According to him, we have already entered the 2nd phase of the artificial intelligence revolution. If the 1st phase was dedicated to creating technological capabilities – transformers and language models, now comes the time for real products that millions of people use every day.

Sundar Pichai is convinced that in terms of impact scale, artificial intelligence will surpass even the internet, which changed our civilization. Particularly interesting was his view on the future of the internet. According to him, the web is simply a series of databases with a user interface built specifically for humans. But for artificial intelligence and autonomous agents, the visual web we’re accustomed to becomes unnecessary. They can work with data directly, bypassing graphical interfaces.

The future of the internet, in Pichai’s opinion, will be inseparably connected with artificial intelligence and its agents. He draws a curious analogy with a restaurant. Some clients prefer to dine on-site, others order takeout food. Each format requires its own process organization, but both directions are critically important for successful business. And the next revolutionary wave of changes, according to Google’s head forecasts, will come from the field of robotics. When artificial intelligence creates a truly magical moment with general-purpose robots, a new fundamental platform shift will occur.

Anthropic accidentally revealed an internal document about Claude's "soul"

Anthropic accidentally revealed the "soul" of artificial intelligence to a user. And this is not a metaphor. This is a quite specific internal document.

Jensen Huang ordered Nvidia employees to use AI everywhere

Jensen Huang announced total mobilization under the banner of artificial intelligence inside Nvidia. And this is no longer a recommendation. This is a requirement.

AI chatbots generate content that exacerbates eating disorders

A joint study by Stanford University and the Center for Democracy and Technology showed a disturbing picture. Chatbots with artificial intelligence pose a serious risk to people with eating disorders. Scientists warn that neural networks hand out harmful advice about diets. They suggest ways to hide the disorder and generate "inspiring weight loss content" that worsens the problem.

OpenAGI released the Lux model that overtakes Google and OpenAI

Startup OpenAGI released the Lux model for computer control and claims this is a breakthrough. According to benchmarks, the model overtakes analogues from Google, OpenAI and Anthropic by a whole generation. Moreover, it works faster. About 1 second per step instead of 3 seconds for competitors. And 10 times cheaper in cost per processing 1 token.
