Amazon has released a suite of AI technologies, including foundational large language models (LLMs) called Titan and a cloud computing service called Bedrock, in response to competitors Microsoft and Google integrating AI chatbots into their search engines and cloud operations. These LLMs, often grouped with similar technologies under the umbrella term "generative AI," can take any kind of written input and transform, translate, or interpret it in different ways. Bedrock will provide customers with Amazon's proprietary LLM foundation models, known collectively as Amazon Titan, as well as models from third-party companies, enabling businesses to customize "foundation models" using their own data and fine-tune them for their own needs.

How Generative AI Could Disrupt Creative Work
How Generative AI Could Disrupt Creative Work

<p>In the face of technological change, creativity is often held up as a uniquely human quality, less vulnerable to the forces of technological disruption and critical for the future. Today however, generative AI applications such as ChatGPT and Midjourney are threatening to upend this special status and significantly alter creative work, both independent and salaried. The authors explore three non-exclusive scenarios for this disruption of content creation: 1) people use AI to augment their work, leading to greater productivity, 2) generative AI creates a flood of cheap content that drives out human creatives, and 3) human-made creative work demands a premium.</p>

Surprising things happen when you put 25 AI agents together in an RPG town

In a recent preprint paper, a group of researchers from Stanford University and Google have created a miniature virtual world similar to The Sims, where 25 characters, controlled by ChatGPT and custom code, live out their lives independently with a high degree of realistic behavior. This includes forming opinions, noticing each other, initiating conversations, remembering and reflecting on days past, and planning the next day. Humans can also interact with the agents, observing and intervening as they plan their days, share news, form relationships, and coordinate group activities. This research could be a prototype of a future where dynamic RPG characters interact in complex and unexpected ways, enabled by generative AI models like ChatGPT.

Navigating The Generative AI Hype In Customer Service

OpenAI's ChatGPT and other generative AI technologies have been gaining a lot of attention lately, with many vendors claiming integration with them. However, it is important to be aware that many of these announcements are likely crafted carefully to imply a closer connection (and capability) to ChatGPT than they actually have, and that many of the high-profile LLMs (like GPT-3) are not trained on contact center use cases and are unlikely to be ready to go out of the box. It is important to do your research and be aware of the differences between generative AI and other natural language processing (NLP) tasks, so that you can evaluate generative AI solutions responsibly.

Create a Voice-based ChatGPT Clone That Can Search on the Internet and local files

OpenAI's ChatGPT has been a popular language model since its introduction in November 2022, and since then, many tech companies, startups, and universities have created their own large language models (LLMs). Recently, OpenAI released ChatGPT plugins, creating an ecosystem of AI apps based on LLMs. LangChain, a library for building LLM applications, was released around October 2022, and in this article, I use it to build a voice-based ChatGPT clone called Talkie. Talkie is a Python Flask web application that runs on the desktop, and it uses a MediaRecorder to record the user's voice message into an audio Blob. Talkie then searches the internet for relevant information and responds based on what it finds. It can also access local files, like what I did with LlamaIndex in a previous article.
