AI-powered automation has the ability to take over routine, repetitive, and manual processes. Consequently, employment in sectors such as manufacturing, data entry and customer service may be vulnerable with workers in these industries losing their jobs.

Batteries are regarded as crucial technologies in the battle against climate change, particularly for electric vehicles and storing energy from renewable sources. Anthro Energy’s novel flexible batteries are presently available to wearable manufacturers and could be employed in a variety of areas, including electric cars and laptops.

The innovative batteries score well in fire safety, thanks to new materials and design features that eliminate internal and external mechanical safety risks like explosions. Many of today’s batteries, such as lithium-ion batteries, contain a flammable liquid as an electrolyte.

Anthro Energy’s David Mackaniac and his team have created a flexible polymer electrolyte that is malleable like rubber. The new technology provides increased design flexibility for use across a range of devices, with adaptable shapes and sizes to suit specific applications.

Leaks show that OpenAI will be unveiling major updates to ChatGPT at its developer conference on 6 November. These include custom chatbots, a business subscription, and connections to Google and Microsoft.

OpenAI’s first-ever developer conference will take place on the 6th of November, where the company plans to unveil a number of updates. Leaks now show that these will include a new interface for ChatGPT as well as completely new features.

OpenAI introduces custom chatbots via Gizmo.

With “Grok”, Elon Musk introduces a chatbot built with “X” data for “X” premium users. In contrast to OpenAI with ChatGPT, Musk gives the chatbot more creative leeway in its responses.

Musk and his company describe Grok as a humorous, witty, and rebellious chatbot that can answer almost any question. Grok uses its model knowledge based on Internet and X data, as well as real-time information from X, to provide answers. According to xAI, the chatbot also answers “spicy questions” that would be rejected by most other AI systems.

Researchers present RoboGen, a generative robotic agent that automatically learns new skills in a generative simulation.

The work by researchers from CMU, Tsinghua IIIS, MIT CSAIL, UMass Amherst, and the MIT-IBM AI Lab aims to leverage recent advances in generative AI to generate infinite training data for automated robot learning.

According to the team, RoboGen is a generative robotic agent that learns various robotic tasks automatically and en masse through generative simulation. The team is using existing foundation models, such as OpenAI’s GPT-4, to “automatically generate diversified tasks, scenes, and training supervisions, thereby scaling up robotic skill learning with minimal human supervision.”
