đŸ IN TODAY'S WILD
Good morning and happy Wednesday!
A new AI research paper outlines a method to create âdigital twinâ consumers by using large language models to simulate human behavior. This breakthrough could revolutionize the market research industry. While some fear AI will make their jobs obsolete, a bioinformaticianâs experience with flawed AI-generated analyses has convinced him that his role is more critical than ever. In Hollywood, the union Equity is considering âmass direct actionâ due to a growing number of complaints from actors about their images being used in AI-generated content without permission.
In other developments, Microsoft AI has released its first in-house image generator, which is already performing well on industry benchmarks. The new Sora 2 app, OpenAIâs latest video generator, can now produce videos with dialogue and sound effects. Additionally, a recent report suggests that while AI-generated articles briefly outnumbered human-written ones, the two are now roughly equal. Meanwhile, Anthropicâs Claude Sonnet 4.5 is now generally available in GitHub Copilot, and ServiceNow AI Research has released a new enterprise deep-research benchmark called DRBench.
