PLus: Check these AI tools

Here's a quick look at today's AI briefing

  • Engineers at Cognition Labs have developed Devin, an AI that can autonomously code, complete engineering jobs on platforms like Upwork, and self-improve by tuning its own AI models. 

  • Devin is capable of completing entire projects independently by learning from the internet and can debug problems without human intervention, according to Cognition Labs CEO Scott Wu.

  • The AI has demonstrated its capabilities by coding a basic Pong game and creating a website from scratch in under 20 minutes, potentially changing the nature of software engineering work.

  • European Union lawmakers have voted to officially adopt the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act), aimed at regulating AI technology, including prohibiting certain uses and demanding transparency from providers.

  • The AI Act's implementation includes a phased approach, with varying deadlines for banning prohibited AI systems and enforcing rules on "general-purpose AI systems" and "high-risk" AI systems.

  • Critics express concerns over the AI Act's potential to stifle innovation and disadvantage European AI companies, while others see it as a step towards safer and more transparent AI development.

  • Google DeepMind introduced SIMA, an AI agent designed to play video games more like a human partner, aiming to complement rather than replace human players in gaming experiences.

  • SIMA, which is being trained to understand and perform tasks in video games without the need for winning, has been developed in collaboration with game developers like Hello Games and Coffee Stain, focusing on open-world and non-linear games.

  • With about 600 basic skills and the potential for more complex tasks, SIMA represents an evolving AI tool that could change player interaction by bringing AI-controlled characters that learn and adapt alongside human players.
