Host 1:"Have you caught wind of the latest chatter surrounding Apple and OpenAI?"
Host 2:"I say, old chap, I must confess I haven't caught wind of that. But you've certainly piqued my curiosity. Pray, do enlighten me. What's the latest scoop?"
Host 1:"According to Bloomberg, a prominent financial, software, data, and media company, Apple has rekindled discussions with OpenAI regarding the utilization of their technology to power AI functionalities on iPhones. They are currently in negotiations to integrate OpenAI into Apple's iOS 18."
Host 2:"Absolutely riveting! So, it seems we could be in for a touch of OpenAI wizardry in the upcoming iPhone operating system, eh?"
Host 1:"Quite right! It's not just OpenAI in the mix. Apple has been in talks to incorporate technology from Google alongside its own LLM-based features. They're considering using OpenAI tech to power a chatbot on iOS or perhaps licensing Google's Gemini chatbot."
Host 2:"Quite the deluge of technical terminology, isn't it? Might you kindly elucidate it for our esteemed audience?"
Host 1:"Absolutely! LLM, or Language Model, is a form of AI designed to comprehend and produce human language.

On one hand, AI presents new horizons in the realm of music, yet on the other, it sparks a debate about rights and authenticity."
Host 1:"Quite the intriguing tale, isn't it? The song in question was none other than the 'Taylor Made Freestyle,' featuring AI-generated vocals of both Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg. However, it appears that Shakur's estate expressed their discontent by dispatching a cease-and-desist missive to Drake, urging the removal of the track from all public platforms."
Host 2:"It's quite true, isn't it? We find ourselves in a bold new era, where technology is ceaselessly pushing the boundaries. It's undeniably thrilling, yet it also necessitates a thoughtful consideration of the ethical implications. And on the subject of ethics, have you caught wind of the recent data privacy concerns surrounding social media platforms?"
Host 2:"Ah, it appears to be quite an extensive course. But I daresay it won't come without a price tag, unlike the others, eh? And my dear audience, do take note that Coursera happens to be an online learning platform where one can partake in courses offered by esteemed universities and companies."
Host 2:Ah, the Drake and Tupac controversy? Yes, I'm familiar with that. It's a rather intriguing convergence of technology and music, wouldn't you agree? And for those who may not be aware, Drake, or should I say Aubrey Drake Graham, employed AI to produce vocals that emulate Tupac Shakur for a song.
Host 1:Absolutely splendid! Google has recently rolled out its very own "AI Essentials" course on Coursera. This course is designed to impart foundational AI skills, best practices, and the responsible use of AI to the workforce. Quite the commendable initiative, wouldn't you say?

Host 1:"It's akin to attempting to return the genie to the bottle, isn't it? Once something permeates the internet, it's nearly impossible to eradicate entirely. Although the song was removed from Drake's social accounts, it has resurfaced elsewhere on the web."
Host 2:"Marvelous! It's akin to an endeavor in democratizing AI education, isn't it? But hold on, there's more, isn't there? And ladies and gentlemen, democratizing AI education entails making it accessible to one and all, not solely the tech-savvy individuals."
