AI will predict when you will die
Life2vec, developed by Sune Lehmann Jรธrgensen and his team at the Danish University of Technology and trained on data from the entire Danish population, such as education, health data, income and occupation of 6 million people from 2008-2020, can predict the probability of death with 11% more accuracy than existing models or actuarial tables used by the insurance industry. In addition to predicting mortality, it can also accurately predict personality test scores.
Cool stuff, but there's quite a risk here that corporations will use this tool to our disadvantage.
Adome x Figma
Adobe has ended plans to acquire Figma for $20 billion because of regulatory problems in Europe. Both companies have encountered resistance from the European Commission and the Competition and Markets Authority in the UK. Despite efforts to convince regulators, Adobe and Figma concluded that there was no clear path to obtaining the necessary approvals. As a result, Adobe must pay Figma a $1 billion penalty for breaking the deal.
Maybe it's a good thing that the deal fell through, because more competition in the market often leads to better innovation. And one giant dominating an entire industry is never a good thing.
ByteDance steals tech
A recent report by The Verge accuses ByteDance, owner of TikTok, of using the OpenAI API to develop its own chatbot, potentially violating OpenAI's terms of use. This activity was allegedly concealed using data desensitization techniques. OpenAI has suspended ByteDance's account pending further investigation. ByteDance denies any wrongdoing, claiming that it has a license from Microsoft to use the GPT API. This controversy comes as ByteDance expands into the AI market, raising concerns among U.S. regulators about potential misuse of user data by the China-based company.
It appears that China is continuing its practice of shamelessly copying technology and presenting it as solutions.
