MY 4 FAVORITE VEHICLES OF 2023 Oasis is an AI dictation app that has changed the way I brainstorm. It’s now my favorite tool for thinking out loud and turning loose ideas into drafts and outlines. How it works: Oasis records, transcribes and summarizes my voice notes. It also turns them into drafts, drafts, scripts or social posts. I use the excellent built-in commands or add custom instructions to convert my audio input to the format I need. I use it to create lesson plans, outline newsletter posts, journal, make lists of ideas, and plan speeches. Snipd has become my…

Even if you’ve never touched any of Atlassian’s products, there’s a good chance others in your organization (like IT and customer service teams) use them every day. Best known for Jira, Confluence and my favourite, Trello, the Sydney-based company keeps a low profile but has a large presence in collaborative enterprise software. Its products are instrumental in helping many companies perform tasks such as tracking support requests and managing projects. Over Atlassian’s 21-year history, all of this has led it to more than 10,000 employees, more than 265,000 customers, and $3.5 billion in revenue. Like nearly everyone in the software…

It’s been a busy year for NASA, filled with asteroid missions and collaborations with industry, other national space agencies and the U.S. military. This year, the power of space to inspire and spur innovation has reached every corner of the world. Here is NASA 2023 Summary THE RETURN OF OSIRIS-REX It had been an incredibly long journey for the OSIRIS-REx capsule when it touched down in the Utah desert in September. The asteroid probe was launched in 2016 on a two-year journey to the carbon-rich asteroid Bennu with the ambitious mission goal of returning a charged sample. OSIRIS-REx did its…

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ChatGPT and other large language model-based programs are among the most talked about apps of the year, but not everyone is happy with their performance. “He never responds,” wrote one ChatGPT App Store reviewer. “It could also be glasses.” “It’s obvious that the AI has deteriorated since last October,” another one-star review complained. “Absolutely wild. Let him work freely. Whatever happens, just in case. Let’s get weird. Solve it. Microsoft’s Bing app, which also includes OpenAI-powered chat features, saw at least one user feeling disrespected in an App Store review: “Who do you think you’re talking to that’s…

By now we’ve all heard concerns about AI replacing workers and laying siege to entire industries. But before the AI launches a war against human civilization, it is quietly waging a war against evil meetings. Last month, Figma, the hugely popular design platform favored by creators and designers alike, launched the public beta of FigJam AI, a set of tools aimed directly at improving meetings. FigJam AI is part of a series of big bets on AI from Figma this year, with even bigger risk-taking moves lately. This month, Adobe and Figma mutually agreed to withdraw a long-dormant $20 billion…

The past year has been crazy in the tech world, bringing us TikTok bans, the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, and a never-ending cycle of drama at OpenAI. Will things slow down in 2024, or will they continue at the same dizzying pace? THE AI WORLD WILL COME FOR MORE CHAOS Margaret Mitchell of AI company Hugging Face believes that by 2024 “at least one effective [AI] model” will become obsolete by impacting on relevant data. Mitchell also thinks that the AI excitement that carried us into 2023 will fade somewhat as people begin to realize that technology does not…

Instagram introduced its productive AI-powered background editing tool to US-based users on Wednesday. Meta’s productive artificial intelligence leader Ahmad Al-Dahle said in his post on Threads that the tool will allow users to change the background of their images through redirects for Stories. When users tap an image’s background editor icon, they’ll get canned alerts like “On the red carpet,” “Chased by dinosaurs,” and “Surrounded by puppies.” Users can also write their own prompts to change the background. When a user posts a Story with a newly created background, others will also see a “Try It” sticker with a prompt…

Ken Goldberg is a professor and William S. Floyd Jr. at UC Berkeley. He is the Engineering Distinguished Chair, co-founder and chief scientist of the robotic packet sorting startup Ambidextrous, and a researcher at IEEE. What roles will generative artificial intelligence play in the future of robotics? Although the rumblings start a little earlier, 2023 will be remembered as the year when productive artificial intelligence transformed Robotics. Big language models like ChatGPT can enable robots and humans to communicate in natural language. Words have evolved over time to represent useful concepts, from “chair” to “chocolate” to “charisma.” Robotics have also…

Rite Aid has been banned from using facial recognition software for five years after the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) found that the US pharmacy giant’s “careless use of facial tracking systems” humiliated customers and “put their sensitive information at risk.” The FTC Order, which is subject to approval by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court after Rite Aid filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in October, also orders Rite Aid to delete all images and all products it collected as part of the rollout of its facial recognition system. constructed from these images. The company also needs to implement a robust data…

Product design is in a moment of profound change and redefinition as technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and spatial computing significantly impact computing experiences. AI in particular may have only minor impacts on interface design but will significantly impact the holistic product or ecosystem experience. Spatial computing, on the other hand, will change human-computer interactions and change our understanding of what a computer is. For successful products and businesses, innovation is here to stay. There’s a never-ending search to find the next new thing that improves user experience, expands product reach, increases revenue, or all three at once. Product…
