• A new AI-powered wearable device called Friend, created by Avi Schiffmann. It pairs with a smartphone via Bluetooth and sends text messages in response to the user’s activities and speech. Designed to combat loneliness, it constantly listens to the user and can send proactive messages, such as wishing luck before an interview. While originally conceptualized as a “wearable mom”, the device aims to provide companionship through interaction and is not intended to function as a therapist or productivity tool.

• Activision has released a dataset from “Call of Duty: Warzone” to aid AI research. The dataset, named “Caldera,” consists of anonymized player behavior data from the game’s matches. It’s intended to help researchers develop AI that can understand complex environments and player strategies. This release is part of a broader trend where gaming companies are leveraging their rich, interactive environments as testbeds for AI development, reflecting the growing intersection between gaming and AI technology.

• OpenAI has introduced a new feature for ChatGPT called “Advanced Voice Mode,” which offers hyper-realistic audio responses. Initially available to a select group of ChatGPT Plus users, this feature is expected to roll out to all Plus users in the fall of 2024. The voice, named Sky, was noted for its resemblance to actress Scarlett Johansson’s voice, leading to controversy and its subsequent removal.

• The AI search engine Perplexity, after facing plagiarism accusations, has announced a publisher revenue-sharing plan. This initiative is a response to the backlash from media outlets over the use of their content without proper attribution. Perplexity’s new program will share ad revenue with publishers when their articles are cited in AI-generated responses. Major partners like WordPress, TIME, Der Spiegel, and Fortune have already joined.
