Unveiling Samsung Gauss and More: Don’t Miss Out on These 5 AI Updates!
Today, November 8, marked another eventful day in the realm of artificial intelligence, with major tech companies making significant strides in the field. Firstly, Samsung unveiled its latest generative AI model, Samsung Gauss, at its AI forum. The company asserts that this model has the capability to operate locally on devices, and there are speculations that it may be integrated into the upcoming Galaxy S24 series. Additionally, Meta has announced a new policy that will require advertisers to disclose if political or social issue ads have been created or modified using AI, starting from 2024. These are just a few highlights from today’s AI developments. Let’s delve deeper into the details.
Samsung announced a generative artificial intelligence model
Samsung is developing a new generative AI model called Samsung Gauss that works locally on devices. According to a report by the Korea Times, Gauss can be integrated into the Galaxy S24 series and will be able to create and edit images, write emails, condense documents and even act as a coding assistant. Parts of the Gaussian model can run locally on the device, improving performance and privacy. In the future, Samsung plans to add generative artificial intelligence to several of its products.
“Samsung Gauss Language, a generative language model, improves work efficiency by facilitating tasks such as writing emails, summarizing documents and translating content. It can also improve the consumer experience by enabling smarter device control when integrated into products,” Samsung said in a press release.
Meta requires political advertisers to disclose when they use AI
According to a Reuters report, Meta will soon require advertisers to disclose when AI has created or edited ads about political or social issues. This is done to prevent users from being fed wrong information.
The rules will take effect in 2024 and require advertisers to disclose when artificial intelligence or other digital tools are used in Facebook or Instagram ads about social issues, elections or politics. Advertisers must communicate when AI is used to portray real people doing or saying something they did not actually do, or when a digitally created person or event is made to appear realistic.
Amazon May Be Secretly Training AI Model Codenamed ‘Olympus’
According to a Reuters report, Amazon is investing millions in training an ambitious large language model (LLM) in the hope that it can compete with top models from OpenAI and Alphabet. Reuters was informed by sources familiar with the matter who asked to remain anonymous.
The model, codenamed “Olympus,” reportedly has 2 trillion parameters, the people said, which could make it one of the largest models to be trained. OpenAI’s GPT-4 model, one of the best models available, is reported to have a trillion parameters.
The team is led by Rohit Prasad, a former head of Alexa who now reports directly to CEO Andy Jassy. As Amazon’s Chief Scientist of Artificial Intelligence (AGI), Prasad brought in Alexa’s AI researchers and Amazon’s science team to work on training models that connect AI efforts across the company with dedicated resources.
Microsoft offers politicians protection from deep counterfeiting
Several countries are holding parliamentary elections next year, and as political campaigns begin, Microsoft has announced that it will offer its services to combat deep counterfeiting. In a blog post, Microsoft said: “Over the next 14 months, more than two billion people around the world will have the opportunity to vote in national elections.

But when voters exercise that right, another force is also at work to the results of these follow-up contests and possibly interfere with them.
“As reported in a new threat intelligence assessment released today by Microsoft’s Threat Analysis Center (MTAC), next year could bring unprecedented challenges to election protection… In 2024, the world may see a number of authoritarian nation-states seek to interfere in electoral processes. . And they may combine traditional technologies with artificial intelligence and other new technologies to threaten the integrity of electoral systems,” it added.
Women’s healthcare artificial intelligence startup Cercle launches
