TLDR: Opera is integrating generative AI chatbots powered by ChatGPT and ChatSonic into its desktop browsers.

  • AI Prompts is a new feature that offers assistance with a wide range of queries and issues such as generating ideas, summaries, translations, and itineraries.

  • Users can generate AI prompts by highlighting text on a website or typing it in, and can also summarize articles or webpages, write social media posts, or ideate through prompts.

  • The chatbots are integrated into the browser's sidebar, and ChatSonic's bot can generate images from text inputs using GPT-4.

  • Opera is expanding its AI program into AI-generated content for browser, news, and gaming products through partnerships and its own solutions.

  • The company plans to announce more AI-powered features in the future that would run on its own GPT-based model and is already working on the second stage of its Browser AI program with Opera's own GPT-based browser AI engine.

TLDR: GitHub introduces Copilot X, an upgraded version of its AI-powered tool for code completion.

  • Copilot currently writes 46% of code on the platform and helps developers code up to 55% faster.

  • Copilot X includes new features such as a chat interface for developers, Copilot for pull requests, AI-generated answers for documentation, and Copilot for the command line interface.

  • Copilot X recognizes the code a developer inputs and the displayed coding errors allowing developers to catch mistakes and edit code even faster.

  • It aims to enhance the entire development life cycle by incorporating chat and voice features and providing instant answers to questions about projects.

TLDR: Mozilla, the non-profit organization behind the Firefox browser, has launched a new AI-focused startup called Mozilla.ai. The mission of the company is to build open-source and trustworthy AI.

  • The new company is funded by a $30 million seed investment from the Mozilla Foundation, Mozilla's parent organization.

  • The company is dedicated to creating a network of allied companies and research groups that share its vision of ethical AI. It plans to establish a team of around 25 engineers, scientists, and product managers to work on "trustworthy" recommendation systems and large language models.

  • Mozilla.ai's broader ambition is to create tools that let users interrogate the sources behind the answers that AI chatbots give them and give users more control over content recommendation AI. It aims to build systems that optimize a recommender for individual or community values.

  • Note Mozilla.ai is NOT a non-profit like its parent organization. While Mozilla.ai is bound to the ethical principles of the Mozilla Foundation, it is open to spinning out its more successful explorations into products and companies in addition to open-source projects.

TLDR: Ubisoft is using an AI "Ghostwriter" tool to generate first drafts of dialogues for non-playable characters in video games to help scriptwriters focus on the general narrative.

  • Ghostwriter generates variations of dialogues, which scriptwriters can choose from and edit to fit their needs, and uses pairwise comparison as a method of evaluation and improvement.

  • The tool is not meant to replace video game writers, but instead, to keep NPCs more interesting and realistic with less manual work.
