1/4  Google releases its text-to-music AI to the public

Google has finally released its text-to-music AI, MusicLM to the public. So, you can now type a mood like "industrial techno sound that is hypnotic" and voila! You've got a custom-made tune. However, there's a twist! This nifty AI tool won't generate any music with specific artists or vocals. Google says it's all about empowering the creative process, not becoming a copyright villain. Deepfaked music, after all, is still in the "murky legal ground" territory. Anyway, it's a brave new world folks, where your dinner party jazz could be conjured up by an AI. Oh, the future is definitely here! Let's just hope the copyright gods are merciful.

2/4  Microsoft report shows: 70% of employees are happy to delegate work to AI

Microsoft's new report shows that a whopping 70% of employees would gladly offload their work onto AI. Sounds like we're more worried about burning out than being replaced by a bot. According to the survey of 31,000 folks from around the globe, we're ready to hand over everything from admin tasks to our daily planning. And despite the robotic takeover fears, leaders value AI for boosting productivity rather than cutting jobs. But there are still some big question marks around AI, including that teeny tiny risk of potential world doom. No biggie, right?

3/4   The Google Search AI takeover is starting now?

Google Search is slowly shifting gears towards an AI-driven future, but it's not what you'd expect. The web giant isn't relying on chatbots, but using AI to revamp search results. Google's VP of Search, Liz Reid, recently demoed this new approach - type in a question and, voila! An AI-generated summary pops up, along with corroborating sources. But this isn't your chatty, opinionated AI. Google aims to maintain an objective, factual stance, trying its best to avoid confidently wrong AI blunders. The feature, still in its experimental phase, is opt-in and part of the new Search Generative Experience (SGE). So, folks, forget the 10 blue links. Google's betting on AI to be your go-to information-retrieval machine. Hold on to your search bars, it's going to be a wild ride!

4/4  EA CEO Foresees AI as Game Changer, Workforce Displacement Just Part of the Fun

Get ready, gamers! EA CEO Andrew Wilson declared that video games will be "one of the greatest beneficiaries of AI" during a recent Q4 earnings call. He envisions AI as an "augment" to EA's teams, and a means for players to create content in EA's worlds. But don't worry, he also kind of reassured us about the fear of displacement of the workforce (it'll all work out, right?). Anyway, he's not worried about AI output ownership or bad actors using AI, promising to work with governments and regulators to protect consumers. COO Laura Miele jumped in, sharing how AI could revolutionize game development and live service games. So, buckle up and prepare for the AI gaming revolution!
