We had an amazing week in artificial intelligence. This was the highlight of the news.

This week has witnessed remarkable advancements in the field of artificial intelligence, with major developments such as Meta's AI-powered augmented reality glasses, the new Natural Voice Interactions feature, and Google's recent achievements with its AlphaChip, along with a modification for the TI-84 graphing calculator that incorporates a chatbot.

Regarding Google, it has introduced its AlphaChip, an artificial intelligence designed to create integrated circuits. This process, which used to take months due to the complexity of the design, can now be completed in a matter of hours thanks to reinforcement learning techniques. The company has been utilizing this technology to design the last three generations of its Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) and plans to share it with other companies like MediaTek, which produces chipsets for mobile devices and other wearable gadgets.

On the other hand, after receiving criticism for the implementation of its Recall feature, Microsoft has issued a statement detailing the measures it will take to protect user privacy. Recall, an AI tool that allows users to search through their computing history using natural language queries, faced strong backlash for automatically capturing screens without user consent. In an effort to restore trust, Microsoft has vowed that users will maintain full control over what data is collected and how it is used.

In the realm of Meta, during its Connect 2024 event, not only were new Ray-Ban smart glasses unveiled, but the Natural Voice Interactions feature was also introduced. This tool enables users to communicate with the chatbot verbally, as if they were speaking to another person, representing an advancement over the previous system. This new functionality is available free of charge for users.

Meanwhile, OpenAI is undergoing significant reorganization, moving away from its nonprofit status. CEO Sam Altman aims to consolidate his influence in the multibillion-dollar company, making it more attractive to investors and eliminating oversight from the nonprofit board, which grants him greater autonomy.

Finally, modder ChromaLock has managed to integrate ChatGPT, based on the GPT-4o model, into a TI-84 graphing calculator. Although it does not run locally on the device, this feat was accomplished using a custom Wi-Fi module and open-source software, once again demonstrating the versatility and adaptability of artificial intelligence tools.
