🦾 Google developing 'Jarvis' AI for web automation

🐝 The Buzz: Google's working on an AI browser assistant named "Project Jarvis" that can independently control Chrome, tackling tasks like shopping and booking flights for users. Jarvis uses screenshots to analyze the browser before taking action, making it user-friendly for everyday folks rather than tech pros.

  • Project Jarvis is designed to operate exclusively within the Chrome browser.

  • It automates tasks like web searches, purchases, and flight bookings.

  • The AI takes a few seconds to execute each task, perceived as slow.

  • Google aims for a December release alongside the new Gemini language model.

💡 Takeaway: The article shows Google’s latest effort to streamline online tasks with AI, potentially changing how everyday users interact with the web. "Project Jarvis" could ease digital tasks, though challenges with speed and data privacy need addressing before it becomes widely accepted.

🛑 AGI readiness leader resigns warning unpreparedness

🐝 The Buzz: OpenAI's AGI readiness researcher Miles Brundage has resigned, saying neither OpenAI nor the world is prepared for advanced AI developments. He wants to influence AI's future from outside the industry.

  • Brundage says "AGI" is a misleading term and pushes for a nuanced understanding using a scale.

  • OpenAI was at level two on its scale, indicating AI capability near human-level reasoning.

  • The AGI readiness team at OpenAI is being reassigned following Brundage's departure.

  • He emphasizes careful development and regulation of AGI for it to benefit humanity effectively.

💡 Takeaway: With the resignation of a key figure in AGI readiness, there are concerns about the preparedness of both OpenAI and society to handle the implications of advancing AI toward AGI, which implies significant potential impact on both technology management and global readiness for these systems.
