To editors, mail service and more The creators of the MyOffice software integrated Sberbank’s GigaChat generative neural network into the ecosystem. This was reported by the company’s press service at the international conference AI Journey 2023.  [caption id="attachment_84301" align="aligncenter" width="780"] GigaChat chatbot[/caption] The GigaChat chatbot from Sber was introduced into the MyOffice package The GigaChat chatbot is integrated into the MyOffice Standard document editors, Mailion corporate email and the Squadus digital workspace. The press service said: The use of GigaChat in the Mailion mail system will allow you to analyze email chains and provide the ability to draw up a checklist based on its results. The tool will help you create a short summary of what is stated in the email chain, identify the tasks that need to be completed, and distribute roles in the team.  In editors, GigaChat will allow you to generate text, prepare templates for answers, and so on. Also based on GigaChat, a proprietary assistant “MyDay” is being developed - a single taskbar based on the user’s documents, letters and calendar.  The general director of the company, Pavel Kalyakin, said:  MyOffice sees great potential in the use of neural network models such as GigaChat. MyOffice's research in the field of artificial intelligence technologies is aimed at optimizing business processes and reducing the time spent by a typical office software user. 

Technical Director Mira Murati was appointed interim head of the company OpenAI unexpectedly announced that its current leader, Sam Altman, is leaving the company. He has also been removed from the board of directors. CTO Mira Murati has been appointed interim CEO of OpenAI. [caption id="attachment_83046" align="aligncenter" width="780"] ChatGPT[/caption] Altman was fired with a rather streamlined formulation: “ he was not always frank in his communications with the board, which prevented him from fulfilling his duties .” Therefore, " the board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue to lead OpenAI ." The head of OpenAI has been fired. Sam Altman was at the forefront of creating ChatGPT OpenAI, developer of the popular chatbot ChatGPT, thanked Altman for his " great contributions to the creation and development of OpenAI ." The company's board also said it has full confidence in Mira Murati's ability to lead OpenAI through this transition. [caption id="attachment_83047" align="aligncenter" width="780"] ChatGPT[/caption] Sam Altman's resignation came as a complete surprise given the events that preceded his dismissal. So, last week Altman became the main character of OpenAI's DevDay, during which the company presented the GPT-4 Turbo platform, and on Thursday Altman attended the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation leaders' summit in San Francisco. Altman co-founded OpenAI in 2015 and has served as the company's CEO since 2019. The release of the ultra-popular chatbot ChatGPT last November kicked off the generative AI boom. Here's what Altman wrote on Twitter about his dismissal: “ I loved working at OpenAI. It changed me personally and hopefully changed the world a little. What I enjoyed most was working with such talented people. I’ll tell you what happens next later .”

But does not know the founder of the company Boston Dynamics, known for its line of robots, demonstrated with the example of the robot dog Spot what can be achieved by connecting the power of the ChatGPT chatbot. A short demonstration video shows how the robotic dog acts as a tour guide.  [caption id="attachment_76660" align="aligncenter" width="780"] ChatGPT to Boston Dynamics robots[/caption] What happens if you connect ChatGPT to Boston Dynamics robots Software engineer Matt Klingensmith said developing a robot guide was the easiest and fastest way to test the ability of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT to perform tasks beyond the data on which they are based and trained. Essentially, the robot can walk around the company premises, examining objects.  It uses a subtitle model to describe objects in its field of view, further refining its description using LLM. The robot can also answer user questions and even plan its next actions.  https://youtu.be/djzOBZUFzTw The robot can switch between “personalities” with different characteristics, passions, and hobbies. One of them, for example, is passionate about minerals and precious metals, and “Josh” is prone to sarcasm and causticity. The company said: We immediately realized that "bitter" or "sarcastic" personalities worked very well, and we even had the robot go on a Bigfoot hunt around the office. The robotic tour guide can even use “body language,” such as pointing its arm toward the nearest person to explain a concept.  The team encountered several surprises during the development process. For example, when the robot was asked who Marc Raibert (one of the founders and president of Boston Dynamics) was, he replied that he did not know and recommended contacting IT support for further assistance.
