NASA and IBM's AI model

Hello folks, here’s what we have today;

 Our picks 

1/

Geospatial AI models are something that rarely garners much attention over here, so this is pretty cool. IBM is open-sourcing their geospatial foundation AI model, built with NASA’s satellite data, to Hugging Face. Named watsonx.ai, this is a huge move towards global, open collaboration on innovations in climate and Earth science. It could be utilised for things like tracking deforestation, predicting crop yields, and monitoring greenhouse gases.

2/

Time to talk about AI and weapons. The US Air Force has managed to develop an AI agent that has proven the ability to carry out unmanned aerial combat tasks. Developed by the Autonomous Air Combat Operations (AACO) team, it’s an AI agent “solving a tactically relevant challenge problem during airborne operations.” Whether you are for or against AI in this context, this shows a pretty impressive feat of technological progress.

A bunch of updates from Open AI making ChatGPT easier to use.

1) GPT-4 by default and staying logged in.
2) Uploading multiple files in Code Interpretor
3) Prompt examples and suggested replies.
4) Keyboard shortcuts for using ChatGPT.
