Writers need fresh ideas to compete with AI: Amish Tripathi
With technology moving ahead so fast, artificial intelligence is no longer just about handling data or doing repetitive jobs. It is now stepping into the world of creativity, having a big impact on writers who work in real-time.Well-known author Amish Tripathi shared his thoughts on this change, recognising both the challenges and the opportunities that come with AI's growing influence. Speaking on the sidelines of the Vahani Scholarship Trust Summer Workshop, he said, 'AI is very creative, so writers need to come up with fresh and creative ideas to compete with it.'advertisementHis view shows what many writers feel today -- that AI is not just a tool any more, but something they need to compete with.
What once seemed like a tool to assist writers has now evolved into a powerful creative force. Tripathi pointed out that AI is not just changing writing, but many other areas too.'It is influencing everybody and is a tough competitor,' he said, showing that AI is now a big part of the creative process and no longer stays in the background.THE AI ADVANTAGE IN RESEARCHHowever, Tripathi also highlights a significant advantage of AI, its unmatched research ability. 'AI can read as much as we humans will never be able to do,' he said, adding that he even uses AI to help with his research. Because AI can go through large amounts of information so quickly, it can save writers a lot of time.advertisementBut he made one critical point that even though AI can work with huge amounts of data, it still depends on information that people have already given it.'The output that it creates has the data that humans have fed to it,' he explained. So, while AI is great at mixing information and giving results fast, it still doesn't have the depth or personal touch that comes from human experience.Writers today are being pushed to be more original and to think outside the box. If they want to stay ahead of AI's polished results, they need to avoid the usual ideas and go for something truly fresh. This is a reminder to dig deep into what makes us human and tell stories that machines can't copy.As the line between human and machine creativity gets thinner, one thing stays true, even though AI can copy, only real human thoughts and emotions can truly connect with readers.- Ends

Robinhood launches tokens allowing EU users to trade in US stocks
AP Robinhood said on Monday it has launched tokens that will allow its customers in the European Union to trade more than 200 US stocks and exchange-traded funds, including Nvidia, Apple and Microsoft. The commission-free tokens can be traded around-the-clock, five days a week. Robinhood also plans to offer tokens linked to stocks of privately-held companies, starting with Sam Altman's OpenAI and Elon Musk's SpaceX, the trading platform's top executives said at its keynote event in France. Robinhood's shares hit a record high and were last up nearly 10%. The tokens will be issued through a partnership with blockchain firm Arbitrum. With the move, the company stands to benefit from rising global interest in the U.S. stock market - home to some of the world's most influential tech giants and leading beneficiaries of the AI boom. Tokenized equities mix traditional finance with crypto-like trading, and have been gaining traction among international investors due to better access, flexible trading hours and lower costs. Experts believe such tokens could dramatically alter the securities investing landscape, though they currently lack regulatory clarity in the United States. Menlo Park, California-based Robinhood plans to eventually develop its own blockchain that will expand trading hours for tokens to 24/7 from 24/5 currently. The company will also expand the number of available stock tokens to "thousands" by the end of the year, Tenev said at the event. "Tokenization is going to open the door to a massive trading revolution," he said. Last month, crypto exchange Kraken also launched equities-linked tokens for non-U.S. investors. Expanding crypto tools Robinhood also announced several new product offerings, including crypto perpetual futures for its EU customers and staking for U.S. users. The perpetual futures will allow users to make leveraged bets on the prices of cryptocurrencies. Unlike traditional futures, they have no expiry date. Rival Coinbase will also begin offering similar tools to U.S. customers from next month. Meanwhile, staking lets customers lock up their cryptocurrency to help validate transactions on the blockchain, earning rewards in return. The practice had been controversial in recent years, until the Securities and Exchange Commission's staff last month said some forms of staking are not securities offerings.

US Senate debates whether to adopt revised state AI regulation ban
Academy Empower your mind, elevate your skills Two key US Republican senators agreed to a revised federal moratorium on state regulation of artificial intelligence to five years and allow states to adopt rules on child online safety and protecting artists' image or Commerce Committee chair Ted Cruz originally proposed securing compliance by blocking states that regulate AI from a $42 billion broadband infrastructure fund as part of a broad tax and budget bill.A revised version released last week would only restrict states regulating AI form tapping a new $500 million fund to support AI a compromise announced Sunday by Senator Marsha Blackburn, a critic of the state AI regulatory moratorium, the proposed 10-year moratorium would be cut to five years and allow states to regulate issues like protecting artists' voices or child online safety if they do not impose an "undue or disproportionate burden" on passed a law last year dubbed the ELVIS Act to protect songwriters and performers from the use of AI to make unauthorized fake works in the image and voice of well-known artists. Texas approved legislation to bar AI use for the creation of child pornography or to encourage a person to commit physical self-harm or commit is not clear if the change will be enough to assuage concerns. On Friday, 17 Republican governors urged the Senate to drop the AI plan."We cannot support a provision that takes away states' powers to protect our citizens. Let states function as the laboratories of democracy they were intended to be and allow state leaders to protect our people," said the governors led by Arkansas' Sarah Huckabee Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick voiced his support for the revised measure calling it a pragmatic compromise. "Congress should stand by the Cruz provision to keep America First in AI," Lutnick wrote on has failed for years to pass any meaningful AI regulations or safety Maria Cantwell, the top Democrat on the Commerce Committee, said the Blackburn Cruz amendment "does nothing to protect kids or consumers. It's just another giveaway to tech companies." Cantwell said Lutnick could simply opt to strip states of internet funding if they did not agree to the moratorium.

OpenAI turns to Google's AI chips to power its products
HighlightsOpenAI has started renting Google's artificial intelligence chips, specifically tensor processing units, to power ChatGPT and other products, marking a significant shift from its reliance on Microsoft data centers. This collaboration signals an opportunity for Google to expand the external availability of its in-house tensor processing units, which were previously reserved for internal use and have now attracted customers like Apple and startups such as Anthropic and Safe Superintelligence. While OpenAI aims to reduce inference costs with Google's tensor processing units, it is noteworthy that Google is not providing its most powerful tensor processing units to OpenAI, reflecting the competitive dynamics in the artificial intelligence sector. OpenAI has recently begun renting Google's artificial intelligence chips to power ChatGPT and other products, The Information reported on Friday, citing a person involved in the arrangement. The move, which marks the first time OpenAI has used non-Nvidia chips in a meaningful way, shows the Sam Altman-led company's shift away from relying on backer Microsoft's data centers, potentially boosting Google's tensor processing units (TPUs) as a cheaper alternative to Nvidia's graphics processing units (GPUs), the report said. As one of the largest purchasers of Nvidia's GPUs, OpenAI uses AI chips to train models and also for inference computing, a process in which an AI model uses its trained knowledge to make predictions or decisions based on new information. OpenAI hopes the TPUs, which it rents through Google Cloud, will help lower the cost of inference, according to the report. However, Google, an OpenAI competitor in the AI race, is not renting its most powerful TPUs to its rival, The Information said, citing a Google Cloud employee. Both OpenAI and Google did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment. OpenAI planned to add Google Cloud service to meet its growing needs for computing capacity, Reuters had exclusively reported earlier this month, marking a surprising collaboration between two prominent competitors in the AI sector. For Google, the deal comes as it is expanding external availability of its in-house TPUs, which were historically reserved for internal use. That helped Google win customers including Big Tech player Apple as well as startups like Anthropic and Safe Superintelligence, two OpenAI competitors launched by former OpenAI leaders.
