Starting point is 00:00:49 What's going on with job loss due to AI? And is AI music actually good enough that musicians are worried about it? We're going to be talking about those things today and more on Everyday AI with our AI news that matters. What's going on, y'all? My name's Jordan Wilson. I'm the host of Everyday AI. And if you're new here, well, this is for you. Everyday AI is a daily live stream, podcast, and free daily newsletter,
Starting point is 00:01:17 helping everyday people like you and me, not just learn generative AI, but how we can all leverage it to grow our companies and grow our careers. And one of the most difficult things in my experience is to keep up with the AI news. There are so many things happening. You could spend literally hours a day and still get left behind. Or you could join us every, just about every Monday when we do this with our AI news that matters, where we recap not just what's going on. But what is going to be going on and how it's going to impact you?
Starting point is 00:01:44 All right. So if that sounds good, and if you're new, make sure to go to your everyday AI.com and sign up for the free daily newsletter. Why haven't you signed up for the free daily newsletter yet? It's written by me, a human, and it's a great way to keep up to date. All right. And also make sure on our website, you can go back and read just about every single back issue live stream podcast we've ever done.
Starting point is 00:02:06 All right. So for our live stream audience joining us like big, big boogie face. All right. I like that. Colorado Lowe's joining us from YouTube and Brian and Tara Rolando joining us from LinkedIn. Thank you. Let's get this, let's get this thing started and go over all the news that matters for the week of April 8th.
Starting point is 00:02:27 All right. Big one here, which I've got some takes that I'll say for the end. But Google is considering charging for AI-based search, a potential shift in its monetization strategy. All right. So Google is contemplating charging for its AI-based search, a departure from its normal ad revenue model as reported by the financial times. So the AI native search is called search generative experience, SGE, and it allows users
Starting point is 00:02:54 to ask questions in plain language and receive direct answers from large language model, which is Gemini. Google's. So currently, Google monetizes only about 30% of searches through ads, related to to products and services which may not align well with conversational AI search results. So to explore alternative monetization avenues, Google is experimenting with ad formats like paid source citations and sponsored product images within the new AI search results. Industry analysts suggest that charging consumers for AI search could pose challenges,
Starting point is 00:03:30 especially if perceived as an evolution of traditional search rather than a novel service. So failure to find innovative ad formats to monetize AI search might push Google towards collecting referral fees from brands for purchases resulting from AI generated search outcomes. So long story short, y'all, I did not expect to see this news coming from Google, if I'm being honest. So if you haven't seen SGE search generative experience, it's essentially when you log on to Google and you search something. And instead of getting the traditional, you know, 10 results on a page, you actually get a suggested kind of answer.
Starting point is 00:04:11 So it's similar if you've used perplexity. It is kind of not saying, you know, it's Google's answer to perplexity. But it would be its kind of alternative to perplexity. Here's here's a couple hot takes that I have. Google's SGE is actually one of its better AI products. if you're asking me, I've tried to use them all. You know, one thing about Google's Gemini, you know, as an example, I've talked about this on the show before.
Starting point is 00:04:40 Even our team has the Enterprise account. And even as of last week, I haven't checked this morning yet, but we still can't even connect our data. We still can't even, you know, as an example, connect to Google's own, you know, YouTube, real-time Google search. So I'd say Gemini has been a pretty poor rollout. However, I am a fan of Google's. search generative experience, SGE.
Starting point is 00:05:03 I do think that's the future of search, you know, and things like perplexity, you know, so being able to, you know, put in a query. And instead of having to, you know, search or read or go on a rabbit hole down, you know, 10, 15 different web pages, instead you get a quick summary of those different web pages and almost like a summary of the summary. So if you're new to generative AI, using something like Google's SGE, SGE, perplexity, even, you know, co-pilot from Microsoft is getting a little better at this as well.
Starting point is 00:05:41 They have their new deep search option. It's going to be one of the best ways to save time, if I'm being honest. And it's just going to be easier on your eyes, right? I talk about this on the show all the time. But one of the things that I think right now is causing so much of us to lose time in this new age of AI. is it's hard to read the internet now, right? Big internet publishers because of, you know, SGE, because of perplexity, because of chat, GBT, they're losing users and they're losing ad revenue on their site.
Starting point is 00:06:13 So they're just putting more and more ads. So it does make it harder to go learn something. You know, if you're working on something for work, you might, again, you might have to read 5, 10, 15 different pages. And those 5 to 10, 15 different pages are getting more difficult to read because there's more and more ads. So, you know, interesting approach here from Google. considering to charge for AI-based search.
Starting point is 00:06:35 I know it's not Tuesday, so I'm not going to come with full hot takes, but I don't think that this approach will work well. I do think Google is seeing how the market might respond to this news, how their stock might go up or down. And there hasn't been much movement since this was first reported, I believe, on Thursday. So I just don't see this working out, if I'm being honest, because there's other free alternatives that are offering this similar, similar or better technology. I would say if Google were to charge for essentially AI search for their SGE, even though it is a good product,
Starting point is 00:07:12 what I see happening is investors pouring even more money into perplexity, into fraud, and those services, you know, taking even more of the market share from traditional Google search. All right, let's keep this AI news train rolling. So former Apple designer, Johnny Ive and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, their new AI device startup is apparently in funding talks. So former Apple designer Johnny Ive and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman are in discussions to launch an AI-powered personal device startup, according to a new reports from the information. So Ivy and Altman are working on a reportedly groundbreaking new AI powered. personal device. The device is expected to be unlike a typical smartphone and will use AI to perform an all-encompassing user experience without the need for traditional apps or interfaces.
Starting point is 00:08:11 So we've been talking about this on the show here at everyday AI for months, you know, but the specifics of this device are not fully disclosed, but it is suggested that it could integrate AI into various aspects of daily life and potentially focusing on personal and home devices as well. So the new news here is that the startup is seeking funding and has engaged in talks with prominent VC firms Emerson Collective and Thrive Capital. Thrive Capital, as well, you may or may not know, is a major investor in Open AI and could potentially collaborate on leveraging OpenAIs conversational AI for the devices features. Obviously, we do assume that if a hardware device, is ultimately what Ivy and Altman are working on.
Starting point is 00:09:02 We do assume so much that it will be integrated with OpenAI's products, both, you know, chat GPT or the GPT model, as well as their new voice engine that they've announced. You know, depending on what the device is, maybe it's integrated with SORA, Dali, et cetera. But you do have to believe that whatever they're working on, it's going to be big. You know, this has been under wraps now for several.
Starting point is 00:09:28 months. This is kind of the first initial reporting with details aside from this, you know, reported partnership, but they are reportedly now according to the information in talks with different VC firms. All right. Let's talk more large language models. Yeah. And hey, I agree with what Ken saying here on the on the show live. So if you're joining this live, I'd love to hear your thoughts as we go along saying that's a lot of foolish VC money. out there just saying, you know what? I'd say this, Ken. I personally wouldn't bet against John Ivy and Sam Altman. That's just me. You know, John Ivy was obviously very instrumental in, you know, the iPhone, MacBook, IMac, a lot of Apple's kind of very prominent hardware and
Starting point is 00:10:16 their kind of rise to world dominance in the, you know, smartphone and in computer markets. So personally, I think it might be money well spent for those, you know, those, those, those capital firms looking at this. All right. So speaking of all these large language model companies, Anthropic in their Claude AI is launching a beta for tool use functionality in its quad models. All right. So this is an interesting one here. Anthropic AI has introduced a beta version of its tool use feature for Anthropic Message API users, enhancing the functionality of Claude's suite of generative AI models. So users can now. integrate external tools into Claude, enabling real-time information retrieval and third-party
Starting point is 00:11:04 feature integration into Claude's workflow. So this integration allows for accurate data sourcing directly from the original provider, reducing the reliance on web lookup and potential inaccuracies in displayed information. So Claude's chain of thought reasoning model enables the processing of complex commands and multiple third-party access integrations, facilitating simultaneous queries and step-by-step information integration. So all Claude AI models can handle various tool requests according to their release with over 90% accuracy and choosing from a pool of 250 plus available tools. So this one is interesting in a couple of ways. Number one, when people ask me, you know, hey, should I be using Cloud? I say,
Starting point is 00:11:52 absolutely not. If you're using it in the chat interface, I still wouldn't use it, right? Until we see some of these tools, until we see some real-time internet connectivity within the Claude chatbot, I would tell people do not use Claude in its own interface, right? I would say, even though Gemini is very inaccurate, I would still say use Gemini, use ChatGPT, and use copilot because of their connectivity to the internet out of the box, right? So when Claude does integrate, you know, some of these, you know, this new tool use into its actual chat interface, I think this is probably going to change, you know, my opinion on that.
Starting point is 00:12:36 And I would assume it's going to change how the rest of the world is using their tools. So it is interesting that Claude has been very slow or maybe very methodical in their rolling out of third-party integrations. But yeah, it's obviously with their new Claude 3 opus. It is one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful tool, depending on which benchmark you're looking at. But yeah, their highest end Claude 3 opus model is outperforming GPT4, the original GPT4, so you have to take that with a grain of salt, not GBT4 turbo, on a lot of these very
Starting point is 00:13:20 important benchmarks. However, one of the biggest mistakes that people use, or sorry, one of the biggest mistakes that people make in using a large language model is not understanding how these models work. And one of the biggest downsides is a knowledge cutoff. So if you're working with data that is more than a year old, which is what most large language models are working with, because it takes time to gather all this data, to train on it, to go through, you know, this, you know, reinforcement learning. and real human learning feedback, right? All these processes take time. But, you know, odds data is pretty old, right? As is all of these models based training data.
Starting point is 00:14:03 However, the rest of them have some sort of internet connectivity baked into the chat interface, which, hey, at least as of Friday when I had last used, Claude, it didn't have. So should be interesting to see when and if Claude does bring this tool use feature into its actual chat interface and not just its API. Yeah, I'd love to hear what you all think, too. Have you used Claude? You know, and if you're listening on the podcast, we always put, you know, my LinkedIn and, you know, email where you can reach out.
Starting point is 00:14:36 You know, I'm curious what people's, you know, thoughts are since using Claude's new, you know, Cloud 3, their openness model is their, you know, kind of strongest model. I did a show, you know, kind of going side by side with chat GBT, you know, with GBT 4 Turbo and with Gemini, you know, hey, at least early on, it doesn't matter how good of a response that a model gives you. But if you're using it in the chat interface and you cannot connect with real-time data, you really increase the likelihood of hallucinations or of just actually having to spend more time on the back end, you know, something that I say a lot is what hasn't changed in a year, right? And whatever, you know, line of work that you're in, what hasn't changed in a year?
Starting point is 00:15:25 But regardless, pretty big news from Claude in a step in the right direction, integrating with all of these third-party tools. Adobe just introduced an entirely new way to create, bringing the power and precision of its creative suite into one conversational experience. Meet Firefly AI Assistant, now live in the Adobe Firefly app, the all-in-one creative AI studio. Powered by Adobe's creative agent, Firefly AI
Starting point is 00:15:56 Assistant lets you start with your vision, just describe what you want, and shape the outcome as it takes form with the Assistant. The Assistant orchestrates multi-step workflows drawing on 60 plus pro-grade tools across Adobe Creative Cloud apps, including Photoshop, Illustrator
Starting point is 00:16:12 Premier, Lightroom Express, and more to help bring your ideas to life. You can also get started with creative skills, a growing library of pre-built workflows for common creative tasks, like batch editing photos, creating mood boards, portrait retouching, and creating social variations. Every step the assistant takes is visible so you can refine, redirect, or take over at any time.
Starting point is 00:16:36 You stay in the driver's seat as the creative director. Adobe Firefly AI assistant now in public beta. See it today at firefly.adopi.com. All right. Next on our AI News, that matters. So we have musicians and authors worldwide uniting against AI threats. So 200 musicians have signed an open letter urging tech companies to refrain from using AI music generation tools that could jeopardize human creativity.
Starting point is 00:17:11 So the artists, including some really big names like Billy Elish, like Nikki Minaj, Katie Perry, Imagine Dragons, etc. highlight the risk AI poses to privacy, identity, and livelihood. in the music industry. So AI models are generating obviously music, art and often writing, and it trains on existing works reportedly without permission, right, which makes it challenging for artists to protect their creations. So there's companies like Adobe's Stability AI, Suno, and they're developing AI music generators,
Starting point is 00:17:46 even Google, you know, using reportedly, right, licensed music. but concerns remain about the impact on artists creating original content. So musicians have historically faced challenges, obviously, with evolving technologies, such as low streaming royalties, leading to skepticism toward AI advancements in the industry. Also, over 15,000 writers have kind of joined this movement, including some notable names like James Patterson and Suzanne Collins, also expressing concerns in this open letter. So let's go ahead and take a look at this open letter that they posted. I believe it is called the Artist Rights Alliance.
Starting point is 00:18:29 And this is kind of part of their open letter that they posted last week. And we posted this in our newsletter as well. But let me just read the top half of their letter. And I'm going to get into some of my thoughts on this here. So it says we, the undersigned members of the artists in songwriting communities, call on AI developers, technology, companies, platforms, and digital music services to cease the use of artificial intelligence to infringe upon and devalue the rights of human artists.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Make no mistake, we believe that, when used responsibly, AI has enormous potential to advance human creativity and in a matter that involves the development or enables the development and growth of new and exciting experiences for music fans everywhere. So here's a couple of things. it's kind of a confusing statement, right? So it's, it's their, I believe they shouldn't have even acknowledged, like the promise of AI in the music industry. If you're going to call out and, you know, kind of put up a fight against AI music, you can't kind of also, you know, slap them in the face with the left hand, but shake their, their hand with the right hand.
Starting point is 00:19:44 I mean, you have to put a fight up. There's some, some interesting, you know, thoughts here, you know, in the, in this letter. But a couple of things that stood out to me is that they said that these kind of AI music generation tools could jeopardize human creativity. And I don't think that is necessarily the case. We do have to call out some of the great, you know, AI kind of music generators out there. But, you know, also they don't talk a lot about how they train their models, right? For the most part. You know, companies like, you know, stability, stability AI just released their kind of 2.0 version of their song generator. Stability in the past has been very open saying, yeah, we train on everything, right? We train our models on everything. Doesn't matter if it's copyrighted
Starting point is 00:20:37 or not, right? So some companies are very almost brash in saying, yeah, we train on everything. It doesn't matter. And, you know, a lot of these companies open AI as well, making the case that, hey, you know, copyright doesn't mean what it used to mean, right? So I think all eyes, as we've talked about for a while, I think all eyes are still going to be on this, you know, Open AI versus New York Times lawsuit from back in December. You know, presumably this will be settled, but who knows, maybe it will actually go to court. But I think, you know, that's going to be one of the first biggest rulings on an AI copywriting case. And can these large companies or do they have kind of enough money to settle these ongoing lawsuits, right? I've been saying this now for a year.
Starting point is 00:21:24 One of the best, if you want to talk about job security, one of the best places to be right now is a lawyer who's working with copyright, IP, intellectual property, right? Because this space, there are going to be so many, so many lawsuits. I think we're going to be hearing, you know, especially once one of the shoes drops in one of these big cases. We're going to be hearing about lawsuits, nonstop. And, you know, digging into where are these companies training from, right? We assume it is the open Internet, which obviously includes copyrighted materials. You know, there's obviously the now infamous, you know, interview where the Open AI CTO, when asked about,
Starting point is 00:22:08 hey, where are you training, you know, SORA, right? Open AI is very impressive new AI text to video platform. And she kind of just froze, right? on a very basic question, like, are you, you know, training this model from YouTube? Are you training this from social media? And she kind of just froze up and gave a blanket answer that didn't really make a lot of sense. But, you know, presumably all of these large companies are using copyrighted materials to train their models. Not all, right?
Starting point is 00:22:36 Some are taking a very methodical approach. Like as an example, I do think companies like Adobe are taking a little more cautious and slower approach and training a little bit more and making sure that they have access to all of the information that they're training on. But a lot of the other companies aren't. They're just training on literally everything. So pretty interesting take here. But I don't think what the artists are saying that AI should kind of jeopardize their own human
Starting point is 00:23:09 creativity because AI isn't stopping you from being creative. And people always say, oh, is AI more creative than the average human? Absolutely. People argue and say, oh, AI is not creative. It is absolutely creative. If you use it the correct way, AI is way more creative. Again, if you use it the right way, AI is way more creative than any single, most creative single human being in the world. It is more creative than the most single human being in the world because different AI systems are an absolute expert in all these different fields. Right. So it should be interesting to see how this one pans out. All right. Our next piece of AI news that matters. So major tech companies are joining forces to address AI job loss. Interesting take here, right? So companies such as Google, IBM, Indeed, Eightfold, Accenture, Intel, Microsoft, and
Starting point is 00:24:04 SAP have formed the AI-enabled ICT Workforce Consortium led by Cisco. So this consortium aims to positively. impact and reskill over 95 million individuals globally in the next 10 years by providing these upskilling and reskilling opportunities due to accelerated AI adoption. So this new group will assess 56 ICT job roles affected by AI and formulate training recommendations to match the skills sought by these companies. So Cisco, as an example, aims to train 25 million people in cybersecurity and digital skills by 2032, while IBM plans to equip 30 million individuals with digital skills by
Starting point is 00:24:51 2030, including 2 million in AI. You know, so pretty interesting to see the companies involved here, right? Because as an example, right, IBM was one of the first companies last year where their CEO mentioned freezing, hiring for 7,000 roles expected to be automated with AI. and highlighting the potential impact on non-customer-facing roles. Right. So it's pretty interesting. I guess it's a good thing to see that a lot of these companies that in theory are
Starting point is 00:25:24 developing this AI technologies, these different large language models, generative AI models that in theory are causing job loss, it is obviously good on them to be investing time, money, and resources to deal with the implication of job loss, right? It's something that we don't want to talk about. It's the elephant in the room. I've said all along. I'm not one of those people that say, oh, you know, AI won't take your job. Someone using AI will.
Starting point is 00:25:50 That's a bunch of BS, y'all. Like AI is definitely going to take way more jobs than it creates. Yes, there will be millions, tens of millions of jobs in the future that did not exist before generative AI and before AI became more widely used by, you know, company small and large. But I do think in the end, it will be a net negative. I'm not trying to be a negative person. You know, if you look at the math, if you look at the number, if you look at the science, if you look at the development, there's no eating around it. So it is good to see these companies forming this consortium to address AI job loss.
Starting point is 00:26:28 It's also important to note as well because there's already been nearly 60,000 tech layoffs so far this year. Yeah, we're only three months into the year. And there's already been 60,000 tech layoffs so far. including big names like Amazon, Microsoft, Cisco, Mozilla, DocuSign, so many others, right? So as an example, this, I mean, so far in 2024, the tech layoffs are outpacing, you know, previous years. If they continue at this base, this will be the biggest year for tech layoffs ever. So why is this important and why is it tied to AI jobs?
Starting point is 00:27:05 Well, a couple of reasons, right? If you have to think what companies understand the future impact on AI and job loss, it is the companies making the AI, right? It is the same companies forming this consortium, right? So your Google, IBM, Microsoft, Intel, Accenture, right? It is these companies both building these generative AI solutions and some of the big consulting companies that are teaching the rest of the world how to use it. So that is really worth looking at, right?
Starting point is 00:27:39 Where you have just like unprecedented tech layoffs so far in 2024. And a lot of it is because of AI. So what I would have liked to see, hey, this is great, you know, that we have this consortium led by Cisco with all these big name tech companies. And, you know, a lot of the companies building AI. But this should have been going a year ago. The writing, if you know and if you fully understand the power of generative AI, the writing has been on the wall for substantial job loss, substantial economic impact, especially here in the U.S. The writing has been on the wall now for more than 18 months.
Starting point is 00:28:21 So it's great to see big initiatives like this. I would have liked to see these a year ago because we are going to have a huge problem here, especially in the United States with job loss. So it is going to be extremely important for these reskilling and upskilling opportunities, especially from the private sector. Because here's the other reason, y'all, like the universe like here in the U.S., the public education, you know, public universities, they have completely dropped the ball on teaching the next generation of workers, artificial intelligence, large language models. They've still, still, you have some of the largest universities in the country here,
Starting point is 00:29:01 They're still banning generative AI use, which is wild, right? So it is good that we have the private sector coming in for these upskilling and reskilling opportunities because our, for the most part, our higher education system here in the U.S. has completely dropped the ball on teaching the next generation these essential skills. All right. Last but not least, Jamie DeMond, I think that's how you say it, Demand. So the CEO of J.P. Morgan Chase has emphasized the profile. profound impact of artificial intelligence on society in his annual letter to shareholders saying
Starting point is 00:29:37 that AI will be as impactful on humanity as electricity, the printing press, computers, etc. Right. The one that obviously jumped out to me is electricity. So he does foresee AI as a potentially transformative technology comparing its impact to major historical technology inventions. Like we said, the printing press, the steam engine, the internet, and even electricity. So, JPMorgan Chase has over 2,000 AI and machine learning employees and data scientists with plans for AI to augment various job roles within the bank's workforce. So DeMont has acknowledged the potential of AI to both assist and replace certain job categories, emphasizing the need for adoption and evolution within the workplace.
Starting point is 00:30:24 This one's pretty interesting because, you know, the rising prominence of AI highlighted by the viral success of chat GPT in late 2020. has contributed to the growth of tech companies like Chipmaker Nvidia and has reshaped the tech industry landscape. And this one here is a pretty big shift in tone, I would say, coming from JP Morgan Chase, considering JP Morgan Chase was one of the first large companies to publicly ban chat GPT usage amongst its employees in 2022 and 2023. So pretty big shift in tone here, right?
Starting point is 00:31:00 Now saying that, oh, you know, generative AI is going to be, you know, as important for humans as electricity. Y'all, this is what I've been saying. Companies that early on fought AI, fought generative AI, right? Maybe at the time it was a lack of understanding. You know, maybe they just wanted to be cautious when it comes to data, which I completely understand, right? If there's something that you don't understand, you know, when we talked about this on the show last week in our Hot Take Tuesday, companies that ban AI are going to fail, right? So I get, you know,
Starting point is 00:31:34 temporary bans, temporary restrictions as you learn the technologies, as you prioritize data, transparency as you build guardrails and safeguards around generative AI usage. I get that. If companies are still banning AI here in 2024, you are literally going to fail. There's no way around it. But it is exciting. I won't say it's exciting, but it is refreshing to see some of these companies that were, you know, kind of big names early on, right? Because you had hundreds, probably thousands of companies following the leads of, you know, J.P. Morgan Chase and other big companies that banned large language models, right? It's follow the leader, right? So then you had, you know, hundreds and
