Paul Stenhouse: Evolution in AI technology, skyrocketing valuations, and talent poaching - Saturday Morning with Jack Tame

ChatGPT is ready to take on more involved tasks  

Agents are the next phase of the AI evolution, in which the AI can go away and can complete multistep tasks on its own. So, you could give it a bunch of information —PDFs, emails, spreadsheets— and ask it to find the narrative or insights and create a PowerPoint. It'll then go away, do it, and let you know when it's done. There's less hand holding and more 'reasoning' from the AI.   

It can also browse the web for you and take actions in the browser on your behalf –imagine a scenario where you could give it a photo of the contents of your fridge, give it your food preferences, tell it to come up with a meal plan, and even order the additional ingredients for you.  

Valuations are skyrocketing for these companies  

Bloomberg is reporting that OpenAI rival Anthropic is in the early stages of planning another investment round that could value the company at more than $100 billion.  

The mad scramble for talent is getting crazy  

Meta just poached two of Apple's key Artificial Intelligence leaders for its Superintelligence Lab. Two staff from Anthropic (Claude, the ChatGPT rival) left for another AI company, but quit after just a few days and returned to Anthropic.
