📈 AI picks your stocks

Business Insider

Imagine a stock pick that guarantees you profit. Sounds like an email ad you just received from a TikTok fin-fluencer? Well, it might just be.

We saw this coming, right?

JPMorgan is developing an AI robo-advice chatbot called IndexGPT to provide investment and stock recommendations for their customers.

The AI uses a "Generative Pre-trained Transformer" language model and cloud computing software to analyze and select securities based on customer needs.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon views AI as "an extraordinary and groundbreaking technology," noting over 300 AI use cases are already in production. But it also makes sense that he doesn’t want to be left behind, given Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are also testing internal AI tools.

Finance x AI could be a crazy tool that could either lead to a lot of wealth for users or a lot of liability for banks.

The real question is can it figure out the next GameStop? If yes, count me in.

🧾 Google wants to read your messages

Google/The Verge

One of the many exciting announcements to come out of Google I/O was Magic Compose - an AI feature that provides users with text suggestions.

You can also change the tone of pre-written responses into one of seven: Remix, Excited, Chill, Shakespeare, Lyrical, Formal, or Short.

Google has officially released the beta version of Magic Compose, but with a catch - they want to send up to 20 previous messages to Google servers, including emojis, reactions, and URLs, to generate appropriate responses.

Google maintains that it cannot read messages, and none will be saved or used to train the models. But hey, at least they are letting us know upfront.

To be eligible for the beta, you need to pass these three aspects to eligibility:

  1. You have to sign-up for the Google Messages beta program on the Play Store.

  2. Have an Android phone with US SIM cards + be 18 years old.

  3. Be a Google One Premium member as they get more priority. Subscription starts at $9.99/mo 😏

Or… you know… just wait it out.

Either way, you now have no excuse to leave your friends on read.

🤖 AI designed for foreign governments

With growing concerns surrounding US data controls, a move like this was bound to happen.

South Korean search engine Naver is offering its latest ChatGPT-like AI model to foreign governments concerned about US data controls.

Naver is developing hyper-scale AI that has increased demand, considering "sovereign AI technology is becoming increasingly important for data protection."

Naver will also develop localized AI applications for countries with “political sensitivities” in the Arab world and for non-English speaking countries.

Given what’s happening in Europe with ChatGPT, governments are keen to have their own AI systems customized to their political and cultural contexts, and Naver allows them to do just that.

Why’s this important: The move signals the rising importance of AI in global politics as countries seek to safeguard their sensitive information from foreign control.
