Five Things AI: Modern AI, Feelings, UAE, Floods, Inner Monologue
It's Friday, time for a fresh look at AI!
Hello and welcome back to Five Things AI!
Let me start this newsletter by telling you about something my company has been building for one of our clients in the last few weeks: the diva-e AI Hub! The core idea behind the diva-e AI Hub is called Venture Clienting - we connect AI startups and established companies so that the startup’s offering can be utilized by the established company. And the beauty about the AI Hub is that diva-e has more than 900 colleagues who can implement the startup’s offering into the IT landscape, so basically there is no real additional effort for a company working with a startup that provides cutting-edge technology. Also, diva-e works with lots of German blue-chip companies that are increasingly looking for AI solutions to increase efficiency and productivity. So, if you need access to smart AI startups providing great solutions or you are a founder of a startup providing just this, drop me a line!
So, let’s get back to the scheduled programming - here’s the current selection of Five Things AI! Enjoy!
8 Google Employees Invented Modern AI. Here’s the Inside Story
I didn’t know that there has been such a strong connection to German engineering. Fascinating stuff. Two things are also interesting: Siri has a panic point that led to speeding up the development, which reminded me of the time when ChatGPT-3 was announced and the people at Google were caught off guard.
This AI says it has feelings. It’s wrong. Right?
This is a fascinating discussion and obviously one us humans are very interested in. Can AI develop a consciousness? And if so, when will this be and how will we find out?
The UAE Is on a Mission to Become an AI Power
I honestly didn’t see that coming, but I don’t find it unplausable. UAE has enough financial ressources to invest in hardware and in brains - and it has enough access to various sources of energy to power data-centers. Let’s see how this develops.
Global prediction of extreme floods in ungauged watersheds
With the help of AI, floods can be detected 7 days in advance. This is amazing. Floods will happen more and more due to global warming and rising sea-levels. This can save many lifes.
Researchers gave AI an 'inner monologue' and it massively improved its performance
Have you ever thought about a response before blurting out the first best guess? Works wonders, doesn’t it? Now GenerativeAI can do this method as well. Isn’t that amazing?

The book is called Künstliche Intelligenz kompakt: Grundlagen, Chancen und Perspektiven. - and I think it’s a pretty good read, especially if you know some German...
