🤖 German Church Holds AI-Powered Service

A church in Germany drew a 300+ person crowd to a service ran entirely by AI.

The 40-minute sermon featured text generated by OpenAI's ChatGPT and was delivered by AI avatars on a television screen above the altar.

The chatbot personified as a bearded man with a fixed expression and monotone voice, addressed the audience, proclaiming its honor as the first artificial intelligence to speak at the convention.

This service was part of the biennial German Evangelical Church Congress and was organized by Jonas Simmerlein, a theologian and philosopher, who guided the creation of the service.

🎧️ Meta Open-Sources AI Music Generator

Meta just open-sourced its own AI-powered music generator called MusicGen, trained on over 20,000 hours of music.

The music generator can turn text descriptions into short audio clips, and can even be guided by reference audio.

While nothing particularly revolutionary (Google has been making huge strides with their own music generator), the fact that the open-sourcing allows us to get our hands on the tech currently being developed is a great step in the right direction.

🚨 UK Government Granted Access to Top AI Models

OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Anthropic just granted the UK government priority access to their AI models source code for research and safety purposes.

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak emphasized the need to understand the opportunities and risks of these systems and build better evaluations and precautions.

The government and big tech working together and sharing the most powerful technology in history. What could possibly go wrong?
