Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

OpenAI Signs Tech Deals With Vox and the Atlantic
May 30, 2024 |Artificial Intelligence

OpenAI signed separate agreements with The Atlantic and Vox Media, allowing the AI developer to use their news content to train models for products like ChatGPT. The Atlantic and Vox will use OpenAI technology to enhance advertising and news products. Vox said it will use OpenAI tools to “enhance” its Strategist Gift Scout, a user search tool, and improve Forte, its targeted advertising platform. “Advertisers will benefit from the OpenAI partnership through stronger creative optimization and audience segment targeting, leading to even higher campaign performance,” Vox said. The Atlantic said it will have “privileged access” to OpenAI tech and will help shape “news experiences” on ChatGPT and other OpenAI services. The magazine will use OpenAI tools to develop Atlantic Labs, an experimental “microsite” using AI to build “new products and features to better serve” the platform’s “journalism and readers.” Atlantic CEO Nicholas Thompson said the partnership will make the company’s “reporting and stories more discoverable to millions” and give the company a “voice in shaping how news is surfaced” on OpenAI platforms. Vox Media CEO Jim Bankoff said the agreement “aligns with our goals of leveraging generative AI to innovate for our audiences and customers, protect and grow the value of our work and intellectual property, and boost productivity and discoverability to elevate the talent and creativity of our exceptional journalists and creators.” OpenAI Chief Operating Officer Brad Lightcap said the company is “dedicated to supporting high-quality journalism and the publishing ecosystem.”

EU Auditors Say Europe Is Falling Behind on AI Investment
May 30, 2024 |Artificial Intelligence

The EU is failing to keep pace with the U.S. and global leaders on AI development, the European Court of Auditors said in a report Tuesday. The EU’s independent auditor concluded the European Commission is failing to properly coordinate with member states on a strategic AI plan. EU plans are suffering because the commission didn’t set up a system for monitoring how AI investments are performing, the ECA said. EU investment targets “remain too vague and outdated: they have not changed since 2018, and the lack of ambition for investment targets contrasts with the objective of building a globally competitive AI ecosystem,” the ECA said. “The US has long been a front runner in AI, while China plans to become the global AI leader by 2030, with both countries relying on substantial private investment through their tech giants.” According to the ECA, the EU expected 20 billion euros ($21 billion) in public and private AI investment between 2018 and 2020. It projected 20 billion euros per year between 2020 and 2030. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., in October called for at least $32 billion annually in U.S. nondefense spending to maintain the lead in AI innovation (see 2310250034).

EC Opens Office to Guide New AI Law
May 30, 2024 |Artificial Intelligence

With the EU AI Act set to become law soon (see 2405210001), the European Commission launched an internal AI Office expected to play a major role in implementing the measure. The office includes a regulation and compliance unit to ensure the act is uniformly enforced across the EU; a unit on AI safety to identify systemic risks of very capable general-purpose models and possible mitigation measures; an AI for societal good unit to deal with international engagement on issues such as weather modeling and cancer diagnoses; and a unit for AI innovation and policy coordination to oversee the EU's AI strategy and AI take-up. The office will be led by an AI Office head under the guidance of a scientific and an international affairs advisor. The organizational changes become effective on June 16; the act itself is expected to take effect in July, after which businesses have two years to comply.
