Food for (AI) Thought: Peak Ace Dinner Series - SMX Munich 2024
A selection of Peak Ace clients, friends and colleagues from the industry gathered at beautiful Little London in Munich again for a Pre-SMX-Dinner. Not only did we enjoy phenomenal food (of course), but also discussed all things AI.

78% of searches According to Brightedge, the impact would be enormous - but that would require Google to immediately roll out the SGE in its current form - I don't think so...

problem soon-ish OpenAI has announced that they are developing their own web search... I’m not quite convinced yet, but we'll see: Source: https://pa.ag/49BN6jq OpenAI is said to be using Bing search […] a combination of a GPT-4 with Bing Search, plus something in the middle. […] what OpenAI is not doing is developing its own search indexing technology, it’s using Bing. What’s left then for OpenAI to do to create a search engine is to devise how the search interface interacts with GPT-4 and Bing. And Bing has already solved that by using what Microsoft calls an orchestration layer.

Importantly, the agent does not need to know the vulnerability beforehand. […] we show that GPT-4 is capable of such hacks [and] is capable of autono- mously finding vulnerabilities in websites in the wild.

The fact that such systems are not yet being widely deployed has one main reason: the required AI technology does not yet exist.” Source: https://pa.ag/433i3KT What role AI will play in the future of warfare depends on who plays by the rules of warfare and who doesn’t. The U.S. would adhere to strict ethical guidelines, according to a U.S. Air Force general. But that should not be expected of a potential adversary.
