This week in AI: Amazon 'enhances' reviews with AI while Snap's goes rogue | TechCrunch

Aug 19, 2023 - techcrunch.com
This article discusses Amazon's plan to use generative AI to enhance product reviews. The AI will provide a short paragraph on the product detail page highlighting the product capabilities and customer sentiment mentioned across the reviews. However, the author expresses concern that this could discourage reviewers from crafting detailed, informative reviews if their work is summarized and potentially overlooked by shoppers.

The article also covers various AI-related news, including Snapchat's AI chatbot appearing to go rogue, OpenAI's proposal for a new moderation technique and its acquisition of Global Illumination, and the release of a large text dataset for large language models by the Allen Institute for AI. Other updates include the integration of an AI assistant in Opera's iOS web browser, Google's AI-powered updates to its Search Generative Experience, and the introduction of a new Memories view in Google Photos. The AI startup Anthropic also raised $100 million in funding from South Korean mobile carrier SK Telecom.

Key takeaways:

  • Amazon plans to use generative AI to enhance product reviews by providing a short paragraph of text that highlights product capabilities and customer sentiment.
  • OpenAI has proposed a new moderation technique using its flagship generative AI model, GPT-4, and has also acquired Global Illumination, a New York-based startup.
  • The Allen Institute for AI has released a large text dataset for large language models, intended to be the basis for their planned open language model.
  • Google has rolled out updates to its Search Generative Experience, including tools to see definitions of unfamiliar terms and a feature that lets users tap into the AI power of SGE while browsing.
