Companies of all stripes have begun embracing generative AI as a way to increase productivity and possibly even replace some workers. But the base technology has been around for decades. Over the last five to 10 years, big enterprise software companies have been building AI into their platforms without the same level of screaming hype we are seeing at the moment. The problem has always been placing AI. It hasn’t helped that there has been a tendency for the early adopters to personify and productize it, even if it wasn’t a product. Salesforce called it Einstein; Adobe, Sensei; and IBM, Watson. But AI isn’t one thing you can nail down and call a product, per se. These companies aren’t necessarily selling AI like they would CRM or Photoshop or health records software. Instead, they infused AI into different parts of the product line, making the products they sell potentially better. Since generative AI hit the scene at the end of last year with the release of GPT-4, the hype machine has been out of control. Suddenly, AI was in front of everyone in a way it never had been before. But even with the higher profile, it’s not clear this is an actual market, and it’s even less clear how many companies are truly embracing it despite all the ballyhoo. Though, companies are curious about what AI can do. Enterprise software vendors have been adding functionality and branding it to get the most juice out of their marketing. Startups have been popping up, too: Cohere, Anthropic, Writer and Jasper are among those trying to build businesses around generative AI technology, whether by building foundational models or tools to take advantage of generative AI in an enterprise setting. #tech #technologynews #techdisrupt #software #engineering #instagram

Meta on Wednesday took a small step toward supporting the so-called diverse — a network of decentralized servers — by adding the ability to verify your Threads profile on Mastodon. The company announced that it is adding support for “rel=me” links — a way to establish a relationship between two accounts by pointing links to each other. Here is how you can verify your Threads profile on Mastodon. Importantly, you have to follow the order for the verification to work. 1. Add your Mastodon profile to your Threads profile. 2. Add your Threads profile link to one of the “Extra fields” in your Mastodon profile. 3. Save the changes. The verification will likely appear on your Mastodon profile in the form of a green highlighted bar around the Threads link along with a checkmark. #tech #technologynews #techdisrupt #software #engineering #instagram #techie #explorar #explorepage #explorepage

On Monday morning, numerous writers woke up to learn that their books had been uploaded and scanned into a massive dataset without their consent. A project of cloud word processor Shaxpir, Prosecraft compiled over 27,000 books, comparing, ranking and analyzing them based on the “vividness” of their language. Many authors — including Young Adult powerhouse Maureen Johnson and “Little Fires Everywhere” author Celeste Ng — spoke out against Prosecraft for training a model on their books without consent. Even books published less than a month ago had already been uploaded. After a day full of righteous online backlash, Prosecraft creator Benji Smith took down the website, which had existed since 2017. “I’ve spent thousands of hours working on this project, cleaning up and annotating text, organizing and tweaking things,” Smith wrote. “But in the meantime, ‘AI’ became a thing. And the arrival of AI on the scene has been tainted by early use-cases that allow anyone to create zero-effort impersonations of artists, cutting those creators out of their creative process.” #tech #technologynews #techdisrupt #software #engineering #instagram #techie #explorar #explorepage #explorepage

Thomson Reuters is a venerable news and information organization, with historical roots stretching back to the 19th century. The two companies merged in 2008 and provide a combination of news and specialized information in areas like law, trade and accounting. The organization processes a ton of information every year, relying on a staff of 27,000 subject experts and journalists around the world to generate a variety of content. As generative AI has emerged in recent months, it would surely be tempting to use it in the newsroom, as other news organizations have done, and see this capability as an opportunity to reduce staff, cut costs and automate, automate, automate. While the company sees the benefits of AI for both its employees and customers, it is not in the worker replacement camp, at least not yet. Instead, it sees AI as a way to help customers find information faster and help its employees operate more efficiently, removing the mundane parts of the job so people can do what they do best. It would be easy to think that an organization as old as Thomson Reuters would simply dismiss technology like generative AI, but the company said that it is all in when it comes to the latest technology, as it looks for ways to improve and modernize its operations. #tech #technologynews #techdisrupt #software #engineering #instagram #techie #explorar #explorepage #explorepage

Elon Musk-owned X, formerly Twitter, is facing legal action brought under copyright law in France. The Agence France-Presse (AFP) news agency has announced it’s suing the social media platform over what it calls a “clear refusal” to enter into discussions with it about remuneration for the sharing of its news content on X. AFP said it’s seeking an urgent injunction from a court in Paris to compel X to provide it with the necessary information on the reuse of its content so it can calculate how much money it is due under France’s neighbouring rights legislation. “[AFP] has expressed its concerns over the clear refusal from Twitter (recently rebranded as ‘X’) to enter into discussions regarding the implementation of neighbouring rights for the press. These rights were established to enable news agencies and publishers to be remunerated by digital platforms which retain most of the monetary value generated by the distribution of news content,” the news agency wrote in a press release. “Today, AFP announces that it has taken legal action to obtain an urgent injunction before the Judicial Court of Paris. This move is aimed at compelling Twitter, by the law, to provide all the necessary elements required for assessing the remuneration owed to AFP under the neighbouring rights legislation.” #tech #technologynews #techdisrupt #software #engineering #instagram #techie #explorar #explorepage #explorepage
