Microsoft is gearing up to change the world of work in a big way with AI-powered virtual employees as soon as next month. These types of bots will take care of admin work, like data entry or scheduling tasks, and even do some straightforward customer support allowing live employees to perform more complex and creative assignments. Microsoft will then provide its cloud Ecosystem while driving advanced AI models for these AI employees, in turn making sure they are highly efficient. The preview is Microsoft's latest cog in its larger push to tap AI and reshape industries through autonomous workflows, putting it at the crux of an AI-driven future.
At the Snapdragon Summit 2024, Qualcomm revealed its roadmap for the future of AI in both PCs and mobile devices, marking the first major inflection point in AI technology adoption. Its new AI processors will allow for better user experiences because the machine learning and edge AI will come right to the devices, and there will be real time AI applications like amazing voice recognition, photo editing and more. Snapdragon hopes to change the way consumers experience technology, allowing devices to think and learn on their own and at the same time increasing performance on mobile and pc platforms.
Qualcomm has announced a new Android phone chipset, complete with multi-modal generative AI that poses a challenge to Apple's iPhone 16. The new chipset will allow users to produce pictures, music, and more directly on their smartphones, with no need for cloud computing. It will speed up AI, and also keep it private and safe since data won't have to be sent to the cloud. The move into generative AI by Qualcomm is poised to further heat up the battle between Android and iPhone as each looks for the upper hand in delivering state-of-the-art AI consumer experiences.
Air India, the flag carrier airline of India has received proposals from some major airlines in the US and Europe to enter into a pact for developing AI based chatbots. These generative AI chatbots will be programmed to perform a range of customer service tasks such as booking tickets and answer questions on a range of topics posing difficulties. The aviation industry is increasingly looking at use-cases for AI to reduce cost while improving passenger satisfaction. Given Air India’s early expertise on deploying solutions built around artificial intelligence, it now has an opportunity to forge partnerships that will create robotic tools allowing passengers to more seamlessly interact with carriers like never before.
JSW MG Motor India has joined forces with Google Cloud to introduce two AI-powered chatbots, Avira and Vir. These chatbots will enhance customer engagement by providing 24/7 assistance, answering queries, and offering real-time support for MG vehicle owners. Powered by Google Cloud's robust AI infrastructure, Avira and Vir will also offer predictive maintenance advice, helping customers manage their vehicles more efficiently. This partnership demonstrates the growing role of AI in the automotive industry, as companies increasingly rely on AI tools to offer personalized and proactive services to customers.
On receiving an AI-generated version of his voice demanding a huge transfer of funds, chairman of Bharti Enterprises Sunil Bharti Mittal was taken aback. But this incident clearly projects how AI technology has increasingly advanced and, with respect to the dimensions of voice cloning and deep fakes, raises questions concerning Cybersecurity and frauds. Though AI voice cloning is resourceful in doing beneficial things, like generating virtual assistants, it has risks if used nefariously. This buttresses the notion that with AI's continued advancement towards making reality indistinguishable from simulation, businesses need to put in place tighter security measures.
