What’s new in the world of AI?
1. Perplexity AI Raises $500M to Revolutionize Search with AI
Perplexity AI recently closed a $500 million funding round, bringing its valuation to approximately $9 billion. The funding was led by industry-leading investors and underscores Perplexity's commitment to enhancing its AI-driven search engine. Unlike traditional search engines, Perplexity aims to deliver direct answers rather than link lists, similar to ChatGPT. This funding supports Perplexity's plan to expand its offerings, including a premium version for businesses that can search internal documents, and a revenue-sharing program with publishers to address content usage concerns. Additionally, Perplexity plans to integrate advertising on its platform in the future, positioning itself as a strong contender against major players like Google.
2. The Rising Threat of AI-Generated Fraud in Scientific Research
Generative AI is becoming a growing concern in scientific research, with the potential to create fake images, data, and manuscripts that are difficult to detect. Although AI-generated text may be accepted by some journals, AI-created images and data are still controversial. Integrity specialists and technology companies are racing to develop tools to identify AI-generated fraud, but the challenge of spotting such manipulation remains significant. Recent instances of AI-created fake images have raised alarms about the trustworthiness of scientific literature.
3. ChatGPT's Surprising Predictions for the 2024 US Election and Beyond
ChatGPT has made bold predictions about the 2024 US presidential election, suggesting that neither Donald Trump nor Kamala Harris might win, but a "dark horse" could emerge victorious. The AI also predicted civil unrest, including protests and potential violence, leading to a politically charged atmosphere. Additionally, ChatGPT hinted at Ivanka Trump's increasing political influence and Elon Musk's possible role. Unlike ChatGPT, Google's Gemini AI avoided commenting on the election, redirecting users to search links instead.
4. Nvidia Overtakes Apple as World’s Most Valuable Company Amid AI Chip Demand Surge
Nvidia has recently surpassed Apple to briefly become the world’s most valuable company, driven by the surging demand for its AI chips. On October 25, 2024, Nvidia’s market valuation peaked at $3.53 trillion, edging past Apple’s $3.52 trillion. This milestone highlights Nvidia’s strong position in the AI sector, with its chips powering cutting-edge technologies like OpenAI’s GPT-4. The company’s stock has soared by nearly 18% in October alone, reflecting the growing embrace of AI across industries. As more companies integrate AI into their operations, Nvidia's market leadership is expected to continue expanding.
