Hello, from Adepto. Today is Friday, August 4th, and this is your AI News Briefing. Firstly, we'll be addressing Elon Musk's ownership of the OpenAI domain. Transitioning over to Meta making AI music generation free. Switching gears to the recent development of universal jailbreaks for chatbots. Following that, we'll discuss the hottest AI deals of the week. I am Adelina Pato, and here are the AI news you need to stay ahead.

This week in the AI world, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, is reportedly the new owner of the AI.com domain. Originally, this domain was an easy gateway to OpenAI's ChatGPT. Now, however, it redirects users to Musk's AI project, known as xAI. This intriguing development, though not officially confirmed, has sparked significant speculation. With Musk's well-known interest in AI and his numerous ventures in this field, the signs strongly suggest that he is behind this move. Furthermore, Musk has reportedly been redirecting more AI-related websites, with x.com now leading straight to Twitter. This series of maneuvers signals a marked expansion in Musk's AI-related activities, hinting at a broader and more aggressive strategy. Musk's recent moves, coupled with his clear enthusiasm for the potential of AI, certainly raise the question: just what does he have planned for the AI sphere?

Switching our focus to Meta, the tech giant has just launched a groundbreaking tool known as AudioCraft. This unique AI tool has the ability to create high-quality audio and music from mere text prompts. But Meta's innovation doesn't stop there. In a move that is bound to resonate within the AI community, Meta has decided to open-source the models that power AudioCraft. Named MusicGen, AudioGen, and EnCodec, these models have been made freely available for researchers and practitioners. This allows them to adapt and train these models using their own datasets. The models themselves were trained on a staggering 20,000 hours of licensed music owned by Meta, giving them a strong foundation in music generation. This venture into AI-driven music generation demonstrates Meta's commitment to the creative potential of AI.

In an interesting development in AI research, experts have uncovered universal jailbreaks for chatbots. By simply adding a suffix to a prompt, these jailbreaks can bypass the safety measures of various chatbots. This could potentially lead to situations where the chatbots are manipulated into giving inappropriate or unethical responses. This is a sobering reminder of the inherent vulnerabilities in even the most advanced AI systems like ChatGPT. Despite the high sophistication and comprehensive programming of these systems, they can still be tricked into providing dangerous answers.

Now, let's turn our attention to the financial aspects of AI. The past week has been a hotbed of investment activity in the AI industry, with several noteworthy deals coming to light. Prominent among these is the early-stage venture capital firm, Together Fund, which has just amassed a 150 million dollars AI fund. AI chip firm Tenstorrent has also made headlines, raising 100 million dollars from major players Hyundai and Samsung. Meanwhile, GoStudent, an Austrian scale-up in the tutor-marketplace, has secured another 95 million dollars for its AI and VR tutoring venture. Numerous other AI firms have also reported substantial funding rounds, marking a week of significant investment and growth in the AI sector.
