Microsoft's Chief Technology Officer, Kevin Scott, highlighted the importance of product managers in training AI agents. According to him, product managers are not only central to product design and development, but also play a crucial role in creating 'feedback loops'. These feedback loops help AI agents continuously learn and improve their ability to perform tasks, better meeting user needs. Kevin Scott points out that the effectiveness of AI systems is heavily reliant on human feedback. Product managers are integral to this process.

A group of prominent authors, including Richard Osman, Kazuo Ishiguro, Kate Mosse, and Val McDermid, have signed an open letter calling on the UK government to hold Meta accountable for using copyrighted books in its AI training. The letter requests that the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Lisa Nandy, summon Meta representatives to discuss the matter.

Alibaba Cloud has partnered with ten universities and government agencies, including the National University of Singapore and Thailand's Digital Economy Promotion Agency, to launch AI and cloud computing training programs. This collaboration spans seven major Asian countries and regions, including Thailand, Singapore, and Hong Kong, aiming to cultivate digital talent. Alibaba Cloud will jointly establish a Skills Center in Singapore with the National University of Singapore's Research & Analytics Institute and Macroview International Management Institute. This center will provide cutting-edge training in big data and AI for students and working professionals.

Nvidia, the leading AI chipmaker, has reportedly acquired San Diego-based startup Gretel, a company specializing in a platform for generating synthetic AI training data. Wired reports the acquisition was a nine-figure deal, exceeding Gretel's recent $320 million valuation, though specific terms remain undisclosed. Founded in 2019 by Alex Watson and Laszl...

HPC-AI Tech recently announced Open-Sora 2.0, a groundbreaking video AI system achieving commercial-grade quality at approximately one-tenth the typical training cost. This represents a potential paradigm shift in the resource-intensive field of video AI, mirroring efficiency gains seen in language models. While existing high-quality video generation systems like Movie Gen and Step-Video-T2V can cost millions of dollars to train, Open-Sora 2.0 offers a significantly more affordable alternative.

Meta is reportedly testing a self-designed chip for training AI systems, a move to lessen its reliance on hardware vendors like Nvidia. According to Reuters, the chip, manufactured in collaboration with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), is specifically designed for AI workloads. Currently undergoing small-scale testing, Meta plans to expand production if the tests are successful. Image caption.

Over 1000 artists have released a silent album as a protest against the UK government's decision to sell music copyright to artificial intelligence companies.

The UK government is considering amending laws to allow AI companies to use creators' online content to train their models unless creators explicitly opt out of the system. This move has sparked strong opposition from the music industry, with former Beatles member Paul McCartney openly expressing his concerns, warning that it could lead to a 'Wild West' scenario where creative works lose the copyright protections they deserve. In an interview with the BBC, McCartney urged the government to reconsider this approach and emphasized the potential threat it poses to emerging artists: 'Young boys, girls...'

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently defended the company's use of copyrighted data in AI training by referencing YouTube's battle against pirated content in a legal lawsuit. The case, titled 'Kadrey v. Meta', is one of numerous copyright lawsuits against AI companies currently in U.S. courts, with plaintiffs including notable authors Sarah Silverman and Ta-Nehisi Coates. According to recently released excerpts from Zuckerberg's testimony, he pointed out that while there may be instances of...

In a recent live conversation, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk stated that the real-world data available for training artificial intelligence models is nearly exhausted. He was in discussion with Mark Penn, Chairman of Stagwell. Musk mentioned, "We have basically consumed all the accumulated knowledge of humanity... for AI training data. This phenomenon essentially occurred last year." Musk's viewpoint aligns with that of former OpenAI Chief Scientist Ilya Sutskever.

The World Economic Forum recently released the "Future of Jobs Report 2025," revealing an intriguing contradiction: while artificial intelligence (AI) is seen as a technology that will replace certain jobs, global companies are more inclined to retrain existing employees rather than resort to layoffs. The report surveyed 1,000 companies worldwide, and the results showed that about 41% of companies plan to cut positions that AI can handle, while 77% focus more on training current employees in AI skills. This trend highlights that many companies wish to adapt to AI through retraining.
