A few tidbits and links to read this morning!
Morning y’all!
A bunch of links and industry news to check out this morning!
My hope is that you find at least one thing useful every single day; something that makes you think or consider the impact of AI in your personal and professional life and perhaps, maybe, gets you to do something about it.

Color just partnered with OpenAI to create an assistant for doctors, dramatically reducing the time to get care. Cancer patients are especially a target for this tech.
Runway released Gen-3 Alpha, a new 10-second video clip generation tool. These tools are not just getting better and better but also longer in their outputs.
Build an AI version of yourself to use for your own business.
This is Nigeria’s first government-backed LLM:
Awarri, along with nonprofit Data.org and two government bodies, will build an LLM trained in five low-resource languages and accented English, the minister said. This would help increase the representation of Nigerian languages in the artificial intelligence systems being built around the world.
Fascinating development and support from centralized government.
Reuters Institute of Journalism shared a report that AI is losing public favor based on its impact and reliability.
OpenAI, initially created to counter Google’s DeepMind, is now closely partnering with Microsoft which has rights to OpenAI’s technology through investments. An interesting rivalry indeed. I’m sure it’ll get even more exciting.
Use the power of AI to create collateral for your YouTube video.
I’m not into meditation but I know that a lot of folks are! So, here’s one for you.
The world of finance is getting ready to become wildly disrupted via AI and people are having thoughts:
Generative AI is being swiftly integrated into finance and accounting, by automating specific tasks. Stuart Tait, chief technology officer for tax and legal at KPMG UK, describes it as a “game changer for tax”, because it is capable of handling complex tasks beyond routine automation.
“Gen AI for tax research and technical analysis will give an efficiency gain akin to moving from typewriters to word processors,” he says. The tools can answer tax queries within minutes, with more than 95 per cent accuracy, Tait says.
Power to the tools. And the people.
India was swallowed by deepfakes in the most recent election but still folks are excited about the prospect.
There’s a lot of money being invested into AI but very little liquidity, at least right now. But, eventually all of these tools and businesses are going to have to turn a profit.
And that’s it friends! Have a great day!
