GAIN 18 - Apple's VR Headset are for the Rich and Generative AI is for the Masses. Also OpenAI, Google, Jasper, Instacart, and More!

Top generative AI industry news from the week of June 8th

The latest Generative AI News (GAIN) rundown is live and was recorded on June 8, 2023. Some special segments this week include:

• Apple’s Vision Pro opts for gestures over voice commands, and generative AI is nowhere to be found.

• OpenAI and Google both reveal better generative AI reasoning skills for chatbots, and Google may be in the lead! We break down two very different approaches to make large language models (LLM) better at math, science, and complex thinking.

• Eric and I also introduced a new segment, generative AI winners and losers of the week. I am sure you will find that to be a fun addition to the show.

Generative AI - Policy, Law, and Regulation

On the Voicebot Podcast this week, my guest is Aleksandr Tiulkanov, a lawyer focused on AI policy since 2015. Tuilkanov has advised leading companies on AI policy and helped the European Council and several national governments. He breaks down the key issues, misunderstandings, the pragmatic path, and where we are headed.
