But not everyone was thrilled about the news.While some observers were excited at the prospect of, for example, drawing math equations on an iPad that could then be solved by AI, billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk called Apple's inclusion of ChatGPT — which is developed by OpenAI, not Apple — an "unacceptable security violation". With this being just the latest in a series of similar news, the enormous amount of untapped private data is clearly the next frontier...2024-07-081h 21On TRAC(k)On Trac(k) to Truly Open AI with Dr Bob Metcalfe, Branimir Rakic & Amos ThomasMetcalfe's law is one of the foundational principles of networks, helping explain the explosive growth of technologies such as the internet. For this special episode of the On TRAC(k) podcast, we are joined by Dr. Bob Metcalfe himself, the Turing award winner who invented Ethernet and came up with the namesake law.
