The Download: Musk v. Altman, smart glasses for warfare, and Google I/O
Summary
This newsletter covers several AI industry developments, including Elon Musk losing his lawsuit against OpenAI (a company creating large language models, which are AI systems trained on large amounts of text data) because he sued too late under statutes of limitations rather than on the merits of whether OpenAI violated its nonprofit mission. Other stories include Anduril and Meta developing augmented-reality smart glasses (wearable devices that overlay digital information on the physical world) for military use with eye-tracking controls, and Google preparing to showcase its AI capabilities at its I/O developer conference while facing competition from other AI companies.
