Holding updated with new AI fashions, merchandise and occasions
Working in AI proper now means, at the very least for me, to dedicate a whole lot of time protecting updated with information on fashions, merchandise, laws, and extra. In my case, I do that by studying a whole lot of newsletters, medium weblog posts, and common information and assets. This permits me to be effectively knowledgeable about state-of-the-art fashions, AI trade traits and use instances, and form all of this into product alternatives or potential new options to contemplate within the quick / mid time period.
This time, I’ve determined to summarize a very powerful current information round GenAI merchandise and share them. And that is it: my first AI Product Updates, which may flip right into a month-to-month replace if individuals discover it worthwhile. On this replace you’ll discover:
- Textual content, picture, video, music, and voice technology updates
- New AI use instances and traits within the trade
- Handed and future AI-product associated occasions
- OpenAI is closing deals with media companies (Prisa Media and ‘Le Monde’). The purpose shall be to permit customers to work together with newspaper and different related media content material by way of ChatGPT. Is the way in which we entry information worldwide going to alter ahead of anticipated?
- In Which AI should I use? Superpowers and the State of Play, Ethan Mollick compares the three newest largest variations of a very powerful textual content technology fashions available in the market (OpenAI’s GPT-4, Anthropic’s Claude 3 Opus, and Google’s Gemini Superior). The three of them are fairly tie in lots of benchmarks and capabilities, however it’s attention-grabbing how the distinction appears to lie extra within the tone or feeling they depart to the person.
- Cool product #1: OpenAI permits picture enhancing by way of DALL-E in ChatGPT (youtube demo). One of many largest limitations I’ve experimented with picture technology fashions is how laborious it’s to get sure particulars proper by way of the immediate. This characteristic is an efficient transfer in the direction of fixing this ache and managing to generate extra worthwhile pictures for the person.
- Cool product #2: Google researchers unveil ‘VLOGGER’, “generate lifelike movies of individuals talking, gesturing and transferring — from only a single nonetheless photograph”. I’ve just lately discovered myself recording demos or quick movies and taking a whole lot of time to get it proper, on time, and with out too distracting gestures, so I can positively see the worth in a product like this (+ infinite new potentialities when including computerized translations to any language, and so forth).
- Cool product #3: SORA, the video technology product from OpenAI, has just lately been pitched to the creative community. Apart from checking the spectacular movies generated by artistic administrators and artists, it was actually attention-grabbing to see their suggestions. I discovered it notably refreshing to learn how the largest perceived potential was to create surreal content material and produce creativeness to the restrict. Perhaps GenAI on the whole would deliver extra worth and fewer dangers to society if it moved in the direction of that “create issues which might be utterly new” route, as an alternative of going the “hyper-realistic, actual individuals cloning” route.
- Cool product #6: speechify “Reduce Your Studying Time in Half. Let Speechify Learn to You” (and with voices that resemble your favourite artists!)
- Cool product #7: OpenAI Voice Engine, which makes use of textual content enter and a 15-second audio pattern to generate new audio and even translate to different languages the individual doesn’t converse.
I see a whole lot of potential with these merchandise:
- From a media viewpoint: permitting creators to achieve extra customers world wide by way of speech in every person’s mom tongue. Take into consideration audiobooks, podcasts, youtube movies, and even this personal blogpost learn by a voice that basically resembles mine.
- For any firm fascinated by increasing to the world or desirous to be finer and getting extra customized speech to the customers. Take into consideration having the ability to produce voice explanations or advertising campaigns in any language of the world. But additionally, personalize even additional similar to to any minority language and even totally different accents of a given nation!
However… Producing speech that resembles somebody’s voice can pose severe dangers to society (pretend information, fraud, misinformation…). Due to that OpenAI just isn’t releasing, but, their Voice Engine software.
- Cool product #4: Stability.ai introduces Stable Audio 2.0 a brand new AI-generation audio that produces music with a construction coherence as much as 3 minutes size. It permits the technology of audio each from prompts and uploaded audios from the person (audio-to-audio).
- Cool product #5: Suno additionally launched their model 3 product, which permits customers to create full, two-minute songs in seconds. It even creates lyrics and provides voice to the songs. Check out the country song I created in regards to the love story between Machine Studying and Product Administration!
All these merchandise are nice from an newbie viewpoint desirous to create music for enjoyable. It additionally looks like music trade is already being disrupted, at the very least for now, serving to to create, discover, and produce elements of recent songs sooner.
However… Artists are fearful about getting changed by AI and never being compensated pretty for his or her work. You’ll be able to learn the letter +200 artists signed here.
The 2 sectors the place I’ve been studying GenAI is revolutionizing essentially the most are Buyer Assist and Advertising and marketing. To get an concept of what’s already taking place there when it comes to AI utilization and affect, listed here are some attention-grabbing use instances.
Buyer Assist
Advertising and marketing
AI brokers
GenAI is transferring to agentic workflows to extend their capabilities. The thought behind that is, for a given activity that you must fulfill, to make use of totally different fashions concatenated to supply essentially the most optimum outcomes. This contains the power for these fashions to make use of instruments, similar to net search to acquire current info or code execution to run calculations. A pleasant clarification on how this works will be present in the batch newsletter.
A great instance on the place AI brokers can take us within the digital product house is Devin, “the first AI software development”. Due to the concatenation of brokers and generative AI fashions, Devin goes some steps past the capabilities of Github copilot (finish to finish apps improvement, repair bugs, practice ML fashions…).
Product Technique
Zoe Scaman introduces how she leverages AI in a number of use instances and situations in her technique initiatives: Strategy in the era of AI.
Claire Vo has developed ChatPRD, a chatbot that helps PMs write product documentation, with drawback statements, enterprise targets, person targets, and suggests further options like analytics.
UX relationship with AI
- Design Principles for Generative AI Applications. GenAI introduces to merchandise a brand new interplay paradigm, variability in outputs, and new dangers and potential harms. The publish introduces methods to sort out this from a design viewpoint, by designing: responsibly, for psychological fashions, for applicable belief and reliance, for variability, for co-creation and for imperfection.
- Shape of AI introduces a number of AI interplay patterns to assist customers: establish and distinguish AI options and content material, perceive how AI works and how you can work with it, show strategies to make use of AI, assist refining outputs, and assess accuracy.
Handed occasions with on-demand movies accessible:

- seventh Could (Barcelona) — Exploring strategies for Trustworthy AI by DataForGoodBCN. Second session within the Moral AI area from DataForGoodBCN (the place I actively take part as Board Member!), the place we are going to be taught from consultants within the area about explainability strategies and techniques to sort out accountable AI (detecting sources of uncertainty, human-AI collaboration, complying with laws…).
That was it from When ML meets Product — April ‘24 AI Product Updates. Hope you loved the learn, I’ll be glad to listen to your ideas, questions, or ideas.
