Jensen Huang: Even if competitors' AI products were free, Nvidia's chips would still be better value
Jensen "Humble" Huang
A hot potato: Nvidia has become the dominant force in the AI hardware industry, and CEO Jensen Huang knows it.

EA says generative AI will make gamers spend more, speed up development time
A hot potato: Electronic Arts is an organization that arguably only misses out on the title of "most-hated game company in the world" because Ubisoft exists. As it turns out, EA loves generative AI.

Google updates Search to fight low-quality spammy content, doesn't mention "AI" at all
An effort to neutralize "emerging tactics" designed to game search results
A hot potato: While we wait for the global revolution that AI algorithms will surely bring, Google is trying to survive the incoming spam-apocalypse enabled by automatic content generation at scale.

AMD to introduce AI-based upscaling, potentially matching DLSS
Something to look forward to: AMD's FSR image upscaling technology has avoided using AI until now, which has been a double-edged sword in its competition against Nvidia's DLSS and Intel's XeSS. A recent interview with AMD's CTO indicates that the company plans to pivot sharply toward AI in 2024, with gaming upscaling as one area of focus.
Researchers prove they can exploit chatbots to spread AI worms
Hackers could deploy the worms in plain text emails or hidden in images
In context: Big Tech continues to recklessly shovel billions of dollars into bringing AI assistants to consumers. Microsoft's Copilot, Google's Bard, Amazon's Alexa, and Meta's Chatbot already have generative AI engines.
