Apple to upgrade Siri with generative AI / OpenAI to unveil ChatGPT search function / U.S. bill would open up export controls of AI models [EN]

Apple is upgrading Siri with generative AI to enhance conversational capabilities, OpenAI plans to introduce a search feature for ChatGPT, U.S. lawmakers propose a bill for stricter AI export controls, and Neuralink reports a malfunction in its first human brain-chip implant.

Host 3:Siri's now so smart it could probably run my life, yet somehow it still can't locate my lost motivation to exercise. Guess we're both pretending it's in 'Settings'.

Host 1:Hey there! You know how we're all head over heels for our pocket-sized assistant Siri, right?
Host 2:Oh, you bet! I mean, who can resist a piece of tech that can remind us of our dentist appointment, set a timer for our cookies, and even chat with us when we're feeling a bit lonely?
Host 1:Spot on! But hold on to your hats, folks, because our darling Siri is about to get a major makeover. Apple is planning to jazz her up with some generative AI technology.
Host 2:Generative AI? Sounds like a sci-fi movie! What's the scoop on that?
Host 1:Well, imagine giving Siri a creative brain of her own. That's what generative AI is all about. It's a type of artificial intelligence that can create new content. This upgrade is set to make Siri more chatty and versatile.
Host 2:So, we're talking about a Siri that can summarize the latest Stephen King novel and engage in a more interactive chinwag? That's pretty rad! But wait, is all this brainy stuff going to happen in the cloud?
Host 1:Good thinking. But no, this isn't cloud magic. The generative AI processing will happen right on your device itself.
Host 2:On the device itself? Now that's some serious tech wizardry. But what sparked this upgrade?
Host 1:Well, a couple of Apple bigwigs, after testing ChatGPT for weeks, decided that Siri needed a bit of a pick-me-up.
Host 2:ChatGPT? That's the brainchild of OpenAI, right?
Host 1:You're on the ball! And folks, keep your eyes peeled for Apple's WWDC conference in June. We're bound to hear more about these AI shenanigans.
Host 2:Can't wait for that! Siri's about to become our new BFF, isn't she?
Host 3:"Oh great, now ChatGPT can spread misinformation with citations. What's next? Teaching it sarcasm? Imagine getting fact-checked by a bot with a better sense of irony than most of us. At this rate, it'll be hosting late-night shows, throwing zingers wrapped in footnotes. 'According to my calculations, your argument is not only incorrect, but hilariously outdated. Please refer to the footnote for a detailed breakdown of your mistakes.' The future of misinformation is here, folks, and it's well-documented!"
Host 1:So, you know how we're always talking about AI and all its mind-boggling potential, right? Well, here's a curveball for you. U.S. lawmakers are actually looking to put a leash on this wild beast. They've proposed a bipartisan bill for more government regulation of open-source AI exports. For our listeners, open-source AI is like a public library of AI knowledge that anyone can use and contribute to. What's your take on this?
Host 2:Wait, what? They want to regulate open-source AI? That's like trying to regulate the number of memes on the internet! But go on, I'm all ears. And folks, just to add to the explanation, this is like trying to control who gets to read which books in the library. Sounds a bit bonkers, doesn't it?
Host 1:Exactly! You're spot on with the brain-computer interface concept. So, the hiccup - it seems like there were some unexpected complications during the implant procedure. It's not all doom and gloom though, they've learned a lot from it and are already working on improvements.
Host 3:You know, I heard the government's decided to help speed up our tech projects. Yeah, because when I think "speed" and "efficiency," I immediately think government bureaucracy. It's like asking a sloth to join your relay race team for that extra 'edge.'
Host 1:Well, according to Reuters, OpenAI is planning to unveil a search capability for ChatGPT. This feature will allow ChatGPT to pull information directly from the internet in its responses. And the icing on the cake? It even cites its sources!
Host 1:Oh, absolutely! They're expected to make announcements about Android OS, along with updates on their AI efforts and Search. They've even opened up more testing of their experimental AI-powered search engine recently.
Host 1:Oh, you know how we love a good tech drama, right? So, get this, Neuralink, you know, Elon Musk's brainchild, aiming to turn us into cyborgs, had a bit of a hiccup with their first human implant.
Host 2:Wow, that's some real-life sci-fi stuff right there. But hey, no pain, no gain, right? I'm sure they'll bounce back. After all, they're trying to do something that's never been done before.
Host 2:No way! Neuralink? The guys who are all about brain-computer interfaces? That's like, trying to make our brains talk to computers, right? But wait, what's this hiccup you're talking about?
Host 1:True, but a recent survey found that over half of U.S. adults said they wouldn't switch to an AI-powered search engine. So, it seems like there's still a bit of a trust issue with AI.
Host 1:That's right! But there's a small snag. OpenAI currently offers integration with a search engine owned by a technology company, but only for individuals who pay for the service.
Host 1:So, let's switch gears to another AI big shot making headlines. Word on the street is, OpenAI is about to add some pizzazz to ChatGPT with a new feature.
Host 2:Oh, the tech world drama! But hold on, there's more. ChatGPT will not only provide cited answers from online sources but also use images in some cases.
Host 1:Absolutely! And to our listeners out there, we'll keep you updated on this fascinating journey of Neuralink. Stay tuned for more exciting tech dramas!
Host 2:Text Host 2: Ah, you're talking about the AI that's been giving us a run for our money in the chatbot game? What's it got up its sleeve this time?
Host 1:Exactly! And they might drop this bombshell on Monday, just a day before Google's I/O developer conference. Talk about stealing the thunder!
Host 2:Well, we'll just have to see how this plays out. But for now, I'm just stoked to see what Google has up its sleeve at their I/O conference.
Host 3:Isn't it just our luck? Even our futuristic brain chips are flaking out on us - guess they've caught the commitment issues bug too.
Host 2:Ah, the old pay-to-play strategy. But hey, it's still pretty cool. I mean, who wouldn't want their AI to be a walking Wikipedia?
Host 3:Oh joy, now Siri's not just misunderstanding us, she's evolving - learning the fine art of selective hearing. Progress?
Host 2:You're kidding! So, it's like having a walking, talking encyclopedia that can back up its facts? That's wicked!
Host 1:It sure looks that way. And I, for one, am buzzing to see what this upgrade brings.
Host 2:And remember folks, in the world of tech, there's never a dull moment!
Host 2:Well, it's definitely a thrilling time to be alive in the tech world!
