X officially launches audio and video calling capabilities

Musk said that X is launching "early versions of video and audio calls" for some users, and the billionaire is committed to promoting X as a "universal application."

Users can receive or initiate audio and video calls from their address book, people they follow, authenticated users, or any of the three.

Musk previously said users don't need a phone number to use the feature, which is available on iOS, Android and PCs.

Intel focuses on AI software to help companies build applications like ChatGPT

According to The Information, in order to occupy a place in the rapidly expanding field of AI chips, Intel is turning to selling professional AI software and services.

Currently, most AI customers purchase large-scale language models developed by companies such as OpenAI and run them in the cloud.

In contrast, Intel hopes to work with large consulting firms to help customers with less mature technologies select suitable models based on their actual needs, people familiar with the matter said.

In addition, Intel develops software that enables these customers to tweak the model so that they can develop their own ChatGPT-like applications and AI-driven search tools.

Intel launched the project with the Boston Consulting Group earlier this year and has since added more partners.

OpenAI Chief Scientist Ilya Sutskever talks about concerns about the future of artificial intelligence

According to MIT Technology Review, OpenAI co-founder and chief scientist Ilya Sutskever said:

His current priority is not building the next generation GPT model or the image-making tool DALL-E, but figuring out how to stop artificial intelligence from getting out of hand.

Together with his OpenAI colleague Jan Leike, he formed a team to focus on what they call "superalignment."

"Alignment" is a term that refers to allowing AI to perform tasks strictly in accordance with human intentions, while "super-alignment" refers to alignment applied to superintelligence.

They believe that "existing alignment methods are not suitable for models that are smarter than humans because they fundamentally assume that humans can accurately evaluate the behavior of AI."

The search for "super-alignment" is just beginning, Sutskever said, and it will require widespread changes in the research community.

Sutskever also talked about that after the problem of AI out of control is solved, what next? “In a world with smarter AI, is there room for humans to survive?”

"There is a possibility that many people will choose to have some form of integration with AI," he said. "Only a few people may be willing to try it at first, but then more people may follow."
