🗞️ News

Google is a Launchpad for 70% of AI Startups

The Q2 2023 earnings call from Alphabet shines a spotlight on a titanic trend. In his statement, Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Alphabet, said that a staggering 70% of generative AI startups are counting on Google's cloud infrastructure and AI capabilities.

This mammoth move towards Google isn't mere happenstance. It's the smart choice of emerging companies seeking to harness next-gen tech, like Google Bard, for a spin to shape new services.

Here’s what we know:

• A whopping 70% of generative AI startups are leaning heavily on Google's cloud infrastructure and AI capabilities

• Google Cloud, playing host to gen AI unicorns like Cohere, Jasper, and Typeface, is now offering advanced resources like the Vertex AI platform and TPU chips to accelerate development

• Showing an impressive bounce-back, Google's cloud division turned a $590 million loss into a $395 million operating profit within a year

Our Take: Don't ignore the surge toward Google's cloud infrastructure and AI capabilities. Google isn’t just a search engine anymore; it's a game-changing partner for businesses aiming to be on the cutting edge.

Open-Source AI Companies Speak Up Against EU Regulations

GitHub, Hugging Face, and other tech firms are wagging their fingers at the European Union's upcoming regulations on open-source AI models. They've penned an open letter, urging the policymakers to ease their grip on the rules.

The crux of the matter? They claim treating open-source projects like commercial products could potentially rain on the parade of open-source AI development. They say it's counter to the needs of developers and non-profit research organizations.

Key takeaways:

• Tech companies urge the European Union to lighten up on open-source AI rules

• They assert treating open-source projects like commercial entities can stunt open-source AI development

• The letter offers five proposals to make the AI Act more open-source friendly, like clear definition of AI components

• Open-source software in AI, free for all to inspect and modify, aids in training and deploying models

• The European Parliament passed the AI Act, which is set to become law after member states agree on the final text

Why This Matters: In the grand game of AI, open-source models are like a buffet of innovation for businesses. The new EU rules could spell changes in how we nibble at that buffet. Businesses need to understand these changes to navigate the buffet without spilling their soup.
