AI Briefing: Independent AI assistants in plush design
Meta and OpenAI want AI to control our entire daily lives. To do this, we are supposed to entrust them with our shopping lists and appointment schedules. This is problematic. The most important AI news of the week.
Meta and OpenAI, led by Mark Zuckerberg and Sam Altman, have introduced AI assistants called "Muse" and "Dots" respectively. Both have a playful plush design and aim to manage daily tasks. The idea is to connect these systems to various aspects of digital life, allowing them to perform tasks such as sorting emails, booking travel, and handling purchases.
This follows a project by OpenClaw, which showed that new AI systems can complete entire tasks independently. Altman recently hired Peter Steinberger, behind OpenClaw, to work at OpenAI.
