Google is putting AI in basically everything, including search (5 minute read)
Google's recent keynote presentation was an opportunity for the tech giant to recapture the excitement it lost to OpenAI and Microsoft, who released AI-powered search features in Bing and the chatbot BingGPT. However, there was an underlying sense of nervousness about what Google is about to unleash on the world. In the coming weeks, billions of people will be able to use generative AI in everything from Google search to Gmail, and services powered by Google's cloud technology. The new update will allow people to use AI to create emails, generate images for Google Docs presentations, and even compose Shakespearean-style texts. While these new generative AI applications could revolutionize Google's products and provide better productivity and creativity tools for users, there is also a risk of error and bias, which could harm Google's core mission of providing reliable information to its users.

It's a sneak peek into the future of technology and a whole new way to interact with the world around us.

OpenAI’s Shap-E Model Makes 3D Objects From Text or Images (10+ minute read)
OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, has launched a new AI model called Shap-E that generates 3D objects that can be opened in Microsoft Paint 3D or even converted into an STL file for 3D printing. Shap-E is available for free on GitHub and runs locally on your PC, meaning it doesn't need to connect to the Internet and won't require an OpenAI API key, so you won't be charged for using it. This exciting new tool adds to the growing number of AI models that are making creative tasks more accessible and fun for people all over the world.

Meta, formerly known as Facebook, has introduced an AI Sandbox for advertisers.

The AI Sandbox will allow brands to generate different variations of the same copy for different audiences while keeping the core message of the ad similar. Additionally, the background generation feature will make it easier to create different assets for a campaign and the image cropping feature will help companies create visuals in different aspect ratios for various mediums. Currently, these features are available to select advertisers, but access will be expanded to more advertisers in July.
