The Week of AI Drama

March just got the most dramatic start ever. The first week was eventful, to say the least. OpenAI entered the second season of drama with Elon Musk suing the company, as Sam Altman made it back to the board, along with three new board members. While OpenAI is busy setting its house in order, Anthropic and InflectionAI unveiled Claude 3 and Inflection 2.5, the latest iterations of their language models, rivalling GPT-4 and Google's Gemini.

Meanwhile, India saw a new AI advisory spark heated debates. The advisory, which comes quickly on the heels of Google Gemini’s controversies, requires companies to seek government permission to deploy generative AI.

OpenAI Drama (Season 2): Amid the ongoing Musk and Altman legal tussle, OpenAI released a blog announcing the latter’s return to the AI startup’s board of directors after being ousted as its CEO in November. Three new board members, including Sue Desmond-Hellmann, Nicole Seligman, and Fidji Simo came onboard following criticism of the board's all-male composition and lack of diversity.
