A new board of directors is currently being formed Sam Altman will return to the post of CEO of OpenAI after a coup attempt and his removal from this position a few days ago. Former President Greg Brockman, who resigned in protest of Altman's ouster, will also return. The company said it has an "agreement in principle" to bring back Altman along with a new board of directors consisting of Bret Taylor, Larry Summers and Adam D'Angelo. D'Angelo was on the old board of directors that fired Altman on Friday. [caption id="attachment_84151" align="aligncenter" width="750"] OpenAI[/caption] Sam Altman to return as OpenAI CEO after controversial firing All key parties confirmed that they had reached an agreement. Altman said that “everything I have done over the past few days has been aimed at maintaining the unity of this team and its mission.” One of OpenAI's other major investors, Thrive Capital, called Altman's return "the best thing for the company, its employees, those who use its technology, and the world at large." “OpenAI has the potential to become one of the most influential companies in the history of computing,” said Thrive partner Kelly Sims. “Sam and Greg are deeply committed to company integrity and have an unmatched ability to inspire and lead. We are thrilled that they will be returning to the company they founded and helped build into what it is today.” It was previously reported that 96% of OpenAI employees signed a letter saying they could leave and join Sam Altman at Microsoft unless the startup's board resigns and brings back the ousted CEO along with co-founder and former president Greg Brockman.

Different scenarios are being considered The American corporation Microsoft is in discussions with OpenAI, the developer of the ChatGPT chatbot, about possible changes in the format of work and the composition of the board of directors. The goal of these changes is to prevent situations where startup management decisions could unexpectedly impact the tech giant. Information about this was distributed by Bloomberg, citing its sources. According to available information, Microsoft plans to ask OpenAI to expand the composition of its board of directors and set higher qualification requirements for its members. An option is also being considered in which one of the Microsoft employees will take a seat on the OpenAI board of directors. However, Microsoft is aware that increasing control over the startup may raise questions from US federal agencies.

Their number increased overnight Already, 96% of OpenAI employees have signed a letter saying they could leave and join Sam Altman at Microsoft unless the startup's board resigns and brings back the ousted CEO along with co-founder and former president Greg Brockman. Among the signatories was Ilya Sutskever, the company's chief scientist and member of its board, who is accused of coordinating the coup against Altman. The letter was signed by 738 of OpenAI's 770 employees, or about 96%. Yesterday  there were about 600 people. Shortly before the letter was published, Sutskever wrote: “I deeply regret my participation in the actions of the board. I never intended to harm OpenAI. I love everything we've created together and will do whatever it takes to bring the company back together." [caption id="attachment_83872" align="aligncenter" width="780"] OpenAI[/caption] 96% of OpenAI employees want to leave the company after the scandal with the dismissal of Sam Altman On Friday, OpenAI's board suspended Altman, saying "he was not always forthcoming with the board of directors, which limited his ability to perform his duties." Meera Murati, CTO of OpenAI, was appointed interim CEO. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella later announced that Altman and Brockman would join the tech giant to lead a new cutting-edge artificial intelligence research unit. Nadella also said he would welcome other OpenAI employees. OpenAI's board of directors decided to remove Murati and appoint another interim CEO, Emmett Shear , the former CEO of Twitch.

New details have emerged about the possible reason for the dismissal Elon Musk said the potential dangers of advanced artificial intelligence are so great that OpenAI, the world's most famous artificial intelligence company, must reveal the reason it fired CEO Sam Altman . OpenAI announced Altman's departure on Friday, saying only that the company behind ChatGPT "no longer has confidence in his ability to continue to lead." Musk, responding to former Yammer CEO David Sachs, said that "given the risk and power of advanced artificial intelligence, the public should be informed about why the board felt it necessary to make such a drastic decision." [caption id="attachment_83772" align="aligncenter" width="600"] OpenAI[/caption] Given the risk and power of advanced artificial intelligence, OpenAI should reveal the reason for Sam Altman’s dismissal Musk is a former OpenAI board member who left the company in 2018, citing a conflict of interest with Tesla. However, Musk later told CNBC that he was concerned about the company's possible impact on society. According to Businessinsider, a possible reason for Altman's dismissal could be the growing tension among the company's management due to the potential danger that AI poses to humanity. Altman aggressively sought funding to expand development of the technology, while several other board members urged the company to slow down. OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever, who played a significant role in Altman's dismissal, pointed out the potential for AI to harm society. According to The New York Times, Sutzkever created a Super Alignment team within the company to ensure that future versions of ChatGPT will not be harmful to humanity.

Eureka teaches more effectively than a human Well, the moment has come when artificial intelligence began to train robots. Nvidia has developed an AI agent called Eureka, which can teach robots complex motor skills. [caption id="attachment_72735" align="aligncenter" width="780"] artificial intelligence[/caption] For example, Eureka taught a robotic hand pen spinning—quickly juggling the handle with its fingers. Of course, a virtual model of the robotic arm was trained, but that doesn't matter. In total, Nvidia's AI agent taught the robots nearly 30 different tasks, including opening cabinet doors, throwing and catching a ball, and so on. Some of these actions may seem very simple, but this is only because we know how to do them automatically and without thinking. https://youtu.be/sDFAWnrCqKc Eureka relies on the GPT-4 language model. Training took place in the Nvidia Isaac Gym physics simulation application. Reinforcement learning has made impressive advances over the past decade, but many challenges still exist, such as reward design, which remains a trial-and-error process. Eureka is the first step towards developing new algorithms that combine generative and reinforcement learning techniques to solve complex problems Artificial intelligence has been created that trains robots. It is important to note that the efficiency of Nvidia's AI agent is very high. The press release said that Eureka's reward programs, which allow robots to learn through trial and error, outperform programs written by experts on more than 80% of tasks. This results in an average increase in bot performance of over 50%. The AI ​​agent uses the GPT-4 language model and generative AI to write code that rewards robots for reinforcement learning. It doesn't require task-specific prompts or predefined reward templates and easily incorporates people's feedback to change rewards to produce results that more closely align with the developer's vision. Using GPU-accelerated simulation in Isaac Gym, Eureka can quickly assess the quality of large batches of reward candidates for more efficient training. Eureka then compiles a summary of key statistics from the training results and instructs the language model to improve the generation of reward functions. Thus, AI improves itself. He has taught all kinds of robots - quadrupeds, bipeds, quadcopters, dexterous robots, manipulator cobots, and others - to perform a variety of tasks

For example, she works at Stable Diffusion At the moment, artificial intelligence is practically not involved in Windows, except for the integration of the GPT language model. However, firstly, there are already AMD processors with a dedicated unit for working with AI, and similar ones are being prepared by Intel, secondly, according to rumors, Windows 12 will be built around AI. And now it is reported that ordinary users will get their hands on accelerators for AI from Nvidia, only in software form.  [caption id="attachment_71051" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Nvidia AI[/caption] The power of Nvidia AI accelerators is now on Windows. The company announced that its TensorRT-LLM library, which improves inference performance for the latest large AI language models, is now available for Windows. TensorRT-LLM allows you to significantly speed up your work with AI.   In particular, in Stable Diffusion in the popular web interface of the Auto1111 distribution, Nvidia's development speeds up AI by almost half. As a result, with this improvement, the RTX 4090 is seven times faster than the Apple M2 Ultra. This will only work on a GeForce RTX video card, but for Nvidia, this is quite logical. The company is thus “transforming” its gaming adapters into accelerators for AI.

The investor should be SoftBank, they want to involve Arm in the development OpenAI is in talks with former Apple designer Jony Ive and Japanese tech giant SoftBank to fund a $1 billion project to create "the iPhone of the world of artificial intelligence," the Financial Times reported on Thursday. OpenAI is trying to build on the success of ChatGPT, and Silicon Valley is looking for the next big hardware platform after the smartphone. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman tapped Quince's company LoveFrom to develop OpenAI's first consumer device. Three sources familiar with the matter told the Financial Times. Ive founded LoveFrom in 2019 after spending two decades at Apple, where he played a key role in developing some of the company's most influential devices, such as the iPhone and iPod. [caption id="attachment_61095" align="aligncenter" width="600"] artificial intelligence[/caption] iPhone in the world of artificial intelligence. Although the project is still in its early stages, the companies have discussed many potential projects in brainstorming sessions and hope to create something that will provide a "more natural and intuitive user experience for interacting with AI." They take inspiration from how the iPhone used the touchscreen to change the way we interact with the mobile Internet. SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son is in talks with companies to invest more than $1 billion in the venture and is discussing creating a company that would leverage the talents and technology of the three firms. Son is also insisting that chip designer Arm, which is 90% owned by SoftBank, will play a central role in the project. The Financial Times writes that the talks are very "serious" but not final, warning that no deal has yet been agreed and that any formal announcement could be months away and the product will likely take years to reach the market.

This will mainly affect white-collar workers Generative artificial intelligence will occupy more than 2 million jobs by the end of this decade in the United States alone. [caption id="attachment_54089" align="aligncenter" width="674"] Artificial intelligence[/caption] According to Forrester analysts, by 2030 AI will replace 2.4 million jobs in the United States, with white-collar workers, that is, office workers engaged in various types of mental work, being hit the hardest. At the same time, AI will impact 11 million jobs in one way or another. By the end of the decade, artificial intelligence will replace 2.4 million jobs in the United States Overall, automation and AI systems will replace 4.9% of jobs in the United States by 2030, and 30% of them will be generated by generative artificial intelligence systems. Already this year, such AI will replace about 90,000 jobs, and this will amount to 9.3% of all jobs that will be occupied by automation systems in one form or another. Analysts note that the higher the level of education a worker has, the greater the impact generative AI will have on his or her job. Wages will see a similar trend: workers who earn less than $60,000 a year will suffer less than those who earn $90,000 or more.
