Deep Dive 🔍

• Apple's "Project Greymatter" aims to bring AI-powered convenience to everyday life 🤖
  
  At the upcoming WWDC conference in June, Apple will present its AI initiative named “Project Greymatter”. This project aims to integrate AI into everyday applications, enhancing core apps like Safari, Photos, and Notes. Features will include AI-driven photo editing, enhanced search capabilities in Spotlight and Safari, auto-reply suggestions, and a more natural-sounding, capable Siri using Apple's Large Language Models. A partnership with OpenAI will bring ChatGPT as a chatbot in iOS18, while Apple develops its own chatbot. The overarching theme for Apple's AI at WWDC is catching up, rather than leading.

• Elon Musk’s xAI raises $6B from Valor, a16z, and Sequoia 💰
  
  Elon Musk’s xAI announced a record-breaking $6B Series B funding round, valuing the company at $24B. The funds will be used to launch its first products, build advanced infrastructure, and accelerate R&D. xAI is hiring for its engineering and research divisions, offering higher pay than competitors. The company plans to build its own AI supercomputer by fall 2025 with 100,000 Nvidia H100 chips.
  

  

• Meta announces privacy policy changes for AI model training 📢
  
  Meta is updating its privacy policy for European Facebook and Instagram users, effective June 26, to allow data usage for AI training under "legitimate interest." Users can opt out but must explain the impact on them. If approved, Meta will cease using their data. This data use method isn't new for Meta, which has used public content for AI training before. The EU may investigate compliance with data protection rules.
  
  

  

• Elon Musk's xAI plans to build a "Gigafactory of Compute" to dwarf Meta's massive GPU clusters 🏭️ 
  
  Elon Musk's AI company, xAI, plans to build a massive supercomputer, the "Gigafactory of Compute," by fall 2025, which will be at least four times larger than the most powerful clusters used by competitors like Meta. The supercomputer will use Nvidia H100 GPUs, and Musk guarantees its timely completion. xAI may partner with Oracle, which supports the training of its current AI chatbot, Grok, on Musk's "X" platform. Meanwhile, Microsoft and OpenAI plan to build a supercomputer called "Stargate," potentially costing up to $100 billion by 2030.

• Trust issues: Google’s AI Overviews spreading misinformation ⚠️
  
  Google’s AI Overviews, initially praised for quick summaries, have been found to provide dangerously inaccurate information. After wider access post-Google I/O, users discovered AI Overviews offering false and harmful advice, such as recommending smoking during pregnancy and eating rocks. The AI, Gemini, can't distinguish true from false, often using unreliable sources. Google's history of AI blunders continues, raising concerns over trust in its search results.
  

• University of Washington develops voice-isolating AI headphones 🎧
  
  Researchers at the University of Washington have created AI-powered headphones that isolate a single speaker's voice amid noise. Using multiple microphones, the headphones capture and send the target voice to a tiny computer system. The AI software then learns and locks onto the speaker's voice, improving with continued use. The project uses off-the-shelf components, making it accessible for tech enthusiasts to build their own versions, and the researchers have shared the code on GitHub.
