Description

In today's episode of Discover Daily, we explore Microsoft's new AI-powered PCs branded as "Copilot+PC," which integrate on-device AI capabilities and cloud-based large language models to enhance performance and user experience. These PCs feature Qualcomm's X Elite SoC with a powerful Neural Processing Unit and innovative features like "Recall" for logging user activities. We also discuss the controversy surrounding OpenAI's ChatGPT voice model, which closely resembled Scarlett Johansson's voice, leading to legal concerns and broader discussions about the ethical implications of AI voice models and deepfakes.Next, we look into Scarlett Johansson's legal battle over the unauthorized use of her voice and likeness in an AI-generated advertisement by the app Lisa AI: 90s Yearbook & Avatar. Johansson's strong reaction highlights the need for stricter regulations to prevent the misuse of AI-generated content. We then cover Neuralink's FDA approval for a second human trial of its brain-computer interface, aiming to help individuals with severe paralysis regain control over digital devices. Finally, we discuss Tanzania's ambitious plans to establish its first space agency and launch its inaugural satellite, and the viral TikTok trend of "smellmaxxing," where users share tips to enhance their body scent through colognes and hygiene practices.From Perplexity's Discover feed:Microsoft reveals AI-powered PCshttps://www.perplexity.ai/search/Microsoft-reveals-AIpowered-5CFUFZpgS5uHag3uC5eyCwScarlett Johansson on GPT-4o voicehttps://www.perplexity.ai/search/Scarlett-Johansson-on-X0HPPMY1T3ixS3nVXe9VjQNeuralink to implant second brain chiphttps://www.perplexity.ai/search/Neuralink-to-implant-dXq_Avq_R2GCNneYb8v1BATanzania's first space agencyhttps://www.perplexity.ai/search/Tanzanias-first-space-rg_2zst_QR6zOyu8uSDdNwTikTok's smellmaxxing trendhttps://www.perplexity.ai/search/TikToks-smellmaxxing-trend-yKIbFWEuSTO9wpC4xxS9RAPerplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.
