Our insights this week are like a perfectly curated playlist – each one hits just the right note to keep you informed and engaged.

A LOT has been happening over the last week! 

So let’s dive in!

Nvidia and HP join forces to accelerate generative AI workflows

In an exciting announcement, NVIDIA and HP have revealed that NVIDIA's powerful CUDA-X data processing libraries will be integrated into HP's AI workstation solutions.

No coding changes are required!

Specifically, the NVIDIA RAPIDS cuDF library will turbocharge the beloved pandas software used by millions of data scientists, delivering up to a staggering 110x speedup when paired with an NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation GPU compared to CPU-only systems.

Why it matters:

With datasets continuing to balloon in size, the integration of NVIDIA's GPU-accelerated software into HP's beastly workstations like the Z8 Fury means data scientists can now crunch through even the most massive generative AI workloads locally. RAPIDS cuDF for accelerated pandas is expected to land on HP AI workstations and PCs this month, with broader availability on HP AI Studio later in 2024.

Sam Altman returns to OpenAI's board

Remember that whole firing fiasco back in November?  Yeah, about that…

The dust has now settled, and Sam Altman is returning to the board alongside some impressive new faces.

Why the change?

An investigation cleared him of any wrongdoing, revealing the cause to be a simple "relationship breakdown" with the previous board. 

Altman will be joined by the former CEO of the Gates Foundation and the CEO of Instacart.

New governance rules:

To prevent future misunderstandings, OpenAI is revamping its governance with new rules and a whistleblower hotline. They're also tightening their conflict-of-interest policy, which is always a good idea for a transparent and fair policy.

Looks like everyone seems to be on the same page now! Is it the happily-ever-after for OpenAI and Sam Altman? 👀

Is Nvidia using published works to train its new AI? Sued by 3 authors

Another day, another lawsuit.

Nvidia has been sued by three authors - Brian Keene, Abdi Nazemian, and Stewart O'Nan.

The claim:

• The authors claim that Nvidia used their copyrighted books without permission to train its NeMo AI platform for generating written language.

• Specifically, the authors say their works were part of a dataset of around 196,640 books used to train NeMo before being taken down in October 2023 due to reported copyright infringement.

• The lawsuit, filed as a proposed class action, alleges that the takedown reflects Nvidia admitting to training NeMo on the copyrighted dataset, thereby infringing the authors' copyrights.

Despite the lawsuit, Nvidia's stock soared 16.4% to a record $785.38 on the day the news broke, giving it a nearly $2.2 trillion market value amidst AI's boom. 😳

Hopefully, it serves as a warning and a lesson for all AI companies to be wary of the database they use to train their AI on.
