• Perplexity AI, a search engine startup, has submitted a bid to merge with TikTok's US operations amid a looming ban on the app in the United States. The proposed merger aims to create a new entity combining Perplexity AI, TikTok US, and new equity partners, allowing most of ByteDance's existing investors to retain their stakes. This move comes as ByteDance faces a law requiring it to either sell TikTok or face a ban in the US. Perplexity AI hopes that a merger, rather than a sale, will be more appealing to ByteDance.

• OpenAI has developed a new AI model called GPT-4b micro in collaboration with Retro Biosciences, a longevity research company. This model is designed to engineer proteins, specifically the Yamanaka factors, which can convert human skin cells into stem cells. The AI model has shown promising results, improving the efficiency of these proteins by over 50 times compared to previous methods.

• Cybercriminals are increasingly using AI to carry out scams, making them more sophisticated and harder to detect. AI helps them create convincing phishing messages, fix grammar and spelling errors, and even generate realistic voice and video clones. Staying vigilant and using multi-factor authentication are recommended to protect against these AI-assisted scams.

• Despite tensions and competition, The United States and China are leading efforts to foster global collaboration in artificial intelligence (AI). Both nations recognize the importance of international cooperation in advancing AI technology. The US has introduced policies to restrict China's access to advanced AI systems, while China has been promoting global AI cooperation through initiatives like the UN resolution on AI governance.

• As AI drives advancements in extreme parallel computing, startup funding in this sector continues to surge. Companies like Nvidia are leading the charge, with significant investments pouring into AI and big data applications across various industries, including healthcare, law, and defense. The Biden administration is also supporting this growth through executive orders on AI infrastructure and chip export controls.
