If you’re behind on what’s happening with the robot uprising, have no fear. Here’s a quick look at some of the weirdest and wildest artificial intelligence news from the past week. And be sure to check out our weekly newsletter on the biggest developments in AI.
Last week, the AI world was thrown into upheaval with the shocking ouster of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. In the wake of the drama that unfolded, it seemed like the equilibrium of the tech industry might have been permanently thrown off course. However, this week things were pretty much back to normal. Altman, of course, has managed to clamber back up on his perch as top executive at the company (thanks to a helping hand from Microsoft), while things in Silicon Valley have continued apace in much the way they normally would have: a number of new AI products and platforms were rolled out, another study showed the less than ideal impact artificial intelligence has on the environment, and someone found a way to ruin memes with AI.
