In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a hot topic globally, especially since OpenAI launched ChatGPT. The US defense and security agencies have swiftly acted, beginning to invest heavily in AI projects. According to an analysis by Fortune magazine, the Department of Defense (DoD) has signed contracts worth approximately $670 million over the past two years, involving nearly 323 companies, focusing on various AI-related projects.

At the 'All-In Summit 2024', Google co-founder and former Alphabet president Sergey Brin expressed his excitement about the latest advancements in AI and stated that he is working at Google almost every day. Brin confirmed his return to Google's headquarters last year to participate in AI projects, emphasizing the value of the rapid development in the AI field. He noted that algorithm improvements may have already surpassed the increase in computational power requirements, maintaining an optimistic view on AI and believing that future AI model training will not require a significant increase in computational capabilities. Brin's return has implications for Google's future development and AI.

Elon Musk's X company is in discussions with Midjourney for collaboration that may advance generative AI projects. The partnership could involve identifying GenAI content on the X platform ahead of elections, promoting the use of AI technology. Midjourney's generative AI initiative can create images based on natural language, similar to other projects. This collaboration is expected to bring more advanced AI content generation technologies and further progress in AI applications.

In 2023, GitHub added 65,000 new generative AI projects, representing a 248% year-on-year growth. Open-source generative AI projects like LangChain and Stable Diffusion made it to the top ten contributors for the year. GitHub predicts that India will become the world's largest developer community by 2027, with the development of generative AI profoundly impacting businesses. The report shows that 92% of developers use AI-based coding tools, with GitHub Copilot being particularly popular.

JPMorgan Chase is collaborating with U.S. regulators to prepare for the launch of its first generative AI project. The bank aims to have appropriate controls in place when releasing generative AI products. JPMorgan's Chief Information Officer stated that they are helping regulators understand how generative AI models are built. The bank is testing an AI application that generates earnings summaries for all its companies. Additionally, JPMorgan is developing an AI assistant that provides precise steps to resolve customer issues.
