đź’ˇHow You.com Is Challenging Google with Chat Search and Citations

Richard Socher may not be a household name, but if you’re into AI, you’ve probably heard of him.

He’s the CEO of You.com and has been a pioneer in the field of natural language processing. He even helped build the AI layer that Salesforce calls Einstein!

But now he’s taking on a new challenge: building a next-generation search engine. And he’s not intimidated by the competition.

In fact, he believes that with time and innovation on his side, his company can chip away at Google’s search dominance.

One of You.com’s strengths is its ability to innovate. They’ve come out with chat search before anyone else and have even introduced citations to combat the hallucination problem where the model makes up an answer when it doesn’t know the actual one.

So if you’re looking for a search engine that’s always pushing the boundaries, You.com might be worth checking out!

đźš— Mercedes Now Offers ChatGPT In-Car Assistance Through Its Beta Program

Hey, do you own a Mercedes?

If you do, you can now chat with ChatGPT, right in your car. Just say “Hey Mercedes, I want to join the beta program” and you’re good to go.

But why would you want to do that? I mean, what can ChatGPT do for you that your car can’t already?

Sure, it can answer any question you have, like where to find a good sandwich or how to cook a fancy dinner. But is that really what you need while driving?

And don’t forget, Mercedes is listening to everything you say. They say it’s for improving their service, but who knows what they’ll do with your data.

So think twice before you sign up for this beta program. You might end up with more than you bargained for.

🇨🇳 Despite Tensions, China Welcomes U.S. Firms Like Microsoft to Bring AI Tech to the Country

Chinese President Xi Jinping recently met with Bill Gates to discuss the global rise of artificial intelligence.

During their meeting in Beijing, Xi said he welcomed U.S. firms like Microsoft bringing their AI tech to China.

Xi has previously said that China needs to seize opportunities to use AI for economic development, but has also cautioned about its risks. This meeting comes at a time when U.S.-China relations are at a low point, with AI being a key flashpoint.

Microsoft has been in China for over 30 years and has a large research center there. Its Bing portal is the only foreign search engine accessible from within China’s Great Firewall, although its search results on sensitive topics are censored.

However, the company has faced challenges in China in recent years as the country tightened its control over the internet sector.
