Greetings,

Skeptics compare AI to NFTs, suggesting we’ll forget about it just like we did about million-dollar monkey JPGs. There are tiny similarities, crypto and AI both love GPUs, and one startup just raised $1 billion to build a cluster of 22,000 most powerful GPUs ever. Numbers like these could be suggestive of a market bubble, but there’s one key thing that makes AI different – it’s useful. In fact, it’s useful across the board, from drug discovery labs to classrooms. It’s already solving a wide spectrum of real-world problems, which is why I don’t think it’s a bubble.

• MS2Mol is a generative AI model that can predict and generate the structure of unknown molecules from mass spectrometry data 50% better than established methods, and it could be a game-changer for drug discovery, as well as synthetic biology and cancer diagnostics. - Enveda Biosciences
  
  
• The American Medical Association is working on principles and recommendations to ensure that patients aren’t harmed by AI-generated misinformation, and “guidelines and guardrails to prevent unintended consequences” of AI – a clear and encouraging sign that the healthcare industry is aware of the disruptive power of AI. - AMA
  
  
• GenAI trained on academic knowledge and designed to provide only accurate answers is the right way to improve education – Merlyn Mind developed an AI assistant for classrooms that’s used 30 times a day by teachers who have it, and they’re working on LLMs that will meet the specific needs of educators and students. - Forbes
  
  
• Inflection AI, creators of the personal AI bot Pi, raised $1.3 billion in new funding with plans to keep creating conversational AIs and build the largest AI computational cluster with 22,000 of the most powerful Nvidia GPUs, H100 – their roster of investors is quite amazing, as it includes Bill Gates, ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt, and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman. - Forbes
  
  
• From now until mid-September, you have a chance to help AI forget by helping to develop and standardize machine unlearning techniques – Google has announced the first-ever Machine Unlearning Challenge, which calls on engineers to solve a real-world scenario where training data must be ‘forgotten’ to protect privacy, an increasingly important capability for AI. - Google
  
  
• Samsung, Apple, Deutsche Bank are among the companies that prohibit employees from using tools like ChatGPT and sharing sensitive information with AI – but Google is a bit of an outlier, because they don’t want developers to use code generated even by their own chatbot, Bard. - Reuters
  
  
• Not only can AI write homework for students, it can also make it handwritten as one Twitter user shows in this video where a specially designed robot writes text in a notebook and flips the pages as they fill up. - Twitter
  
  
• What’s better than a static FAQ section? An AI chatbot trained on all of the content from your website. That’s what you get with SiteGPT, a light-weight, GPT-powered chatbot alternative. - SiteGPT
