1. Trend: BloombergGPT as a Case of Specific GPT

Bloomberg has developed BloombergGPT, the first large language model tailored specifically for the finance industry. 

A finance-specific language model has the potential to enhance existing financial natural language processing tasks, including sentiment analysis, named entity recognition, news classification, and question answering. 

Additionally, it can unlock new possibilities, such as transforming natural language queries from financial professionals into valid Bloomberg Query Language (BQL) code. This would enable professionals to quickly and accurately retrieve specific data about different securities, facilitating seamless integration into data science and portfolio management tools.

2. GPU Wars: Dr. Lisa Su Saved AMD. Now She Wants Nvidia’s AI Crown

Dr. Lisa Su, the CEO of AMD, was named by Forbes as one of the richest self-made women of 2023. Her personal and professional story is inspiring. It is full of the love of engineering, entrepreneurship, and leadership.
 
AMD’s CEO orchestrated one of the greatest turnarounds in Silicon Valley history, driving the dying semiconductor maker’s stock price up nearly 30-fold in less than a decade. 

In 2022 AMD made history by overtaking Intel, which until then dominated the chip market. In 2023 she faces the challenge of Nvidia. Su says she’s prepared for the battle of the AI revolution — and she expects to keep winning.

3. Warning: Statement on AI Risk

“Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war” – reads a one-sentence statement released by the Center for AI Safety, a nonprofit organization.

The open letter was signed by more than 350 executives, researchers, and engineers working in A.I. including top executives from three of the leading AI companies: Sam Altman, Chief Executive of OpenAI; Demis Hassabis, Chief Executive of Google DeepMind, and Dario Amodei, Chief Executive of Anthropic.
