    YouTube case at Supreme Court could shape protections for ChatGPT and AI

    Reuters, 04/24/23. The U.S. Supreme Court’s upcoming decision on whether to weaken internet companies’ legal protections could have implications beyond social media platforms. The ruling could influence the emerging debate over whether companies that develop generative AI chatbots should be protected from legal claims like defamation or privacy violations, according to technology and legal experts. AI tools like generative chatbots operate in a similar way to algorithms that suggest videos to users, which is the exact issue the Supreme Court is dealing with in the current case.

    A Fortune 500 firm paired workers with ChatGPT-like A.I. tools—and they were happier

    Fortune, 04/24/23. According to a recent study by researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford University, providing staff in entry-level roles with A.I. tools like ChatGPT can result in significant productivity boosts. The research used data from 5,179 customer support agents and found that workers who had access to an A.I.-based conversational assistant were 13.8% more productive than those who did not. The greatest productivity boost was experienced by novice and low-skilled workers who were able to work 35% faster than without the technology’s assistance. The study also highlighted that A.I. assistance improves customer sentiment, reduces requests for managerial intervention, and improves employee retention.

    Seeking Alpha. Nvidia is a leader in AI silicon technology and is gaining recognition for its software offerings, which could unlock a $300 billion TAM by 2030.

Despite the positive tailwinds resulting from NVDA’s strong market position in chip technology and the growing momentum of generative AI adoption, Nvidia stock is not an easy pitch at approximately $279/share.

It seeks to balance innovation with enforcement for businesses. READ MORE
