* Companies that lead in creating dementia-friendly workplaces position themselves as pioneers in corporate social responsibility, enhancing their brand reputation.

2. Microsoft offers free Sora access on its Bing search app

  • Microsoft has integrated OpenAI's video generation tool, Sora, into its Bing mobile app, enabling users to create five-second videos from text prompts at no cost. 

  • The feature, named Bing Video Creator, is currently available on iOS and Android platforms, with plans to expand to desktop and Copilot Search soon.

  • Users can generate up to 10 fast videos and unlimited slower ones, with opportunities to earn additional fast credits through Microsoft's rewards programs.

  • This move aims to increase public engagement with Sora, which had limited traction due to initial issues like hallucinations and slow video generation times. 

💡 Biz Insights

* By offering free access to Sora via the Bing app, Microsoft lowers the barrier to entry for AI-powered video creation, fostering innovation among content creators and marketers.

* This strategy positions Microsoft to compete more effectively in the generative AI space, potentially attracting users from platforms like TikTok and Instagram.

* The integration of Sora into Bing could drive increased usage of Microsoft's ecosystem, enhancing user engagement and opening new avenues for monetization.

3. Anthropic’s AI is writing its own blog — with human oversight

  • Anthropic has launched "Claude Explains," a blog primarily generated by its AI model, Claude, focusing on technical topics like simplifying complex codebases. 

  • While Claude drafts the content, human subject matter experts and editorial teams review and enhance the posts with insights and contextual knowledge. 

  • The blog serves as a showcase of Claude's writing abilities, demonstrating a collaborative approach between AI-generated content and human expertise.

💡 Biz Insights

* Integrating AI like Claude into content creation processes can enhance productivity and allow human experts to focus on higher-level tasks.

* This collaborative model may set a precedent for other companies exploring AI-assisted content generation, balancing efficiency with quality control.

* By transparently combining AI capabilities with human oversight, businesses can build trust with their audience while leveraging technological advancements.

4. AI Identifies Non-Cancer Drug Combinations Effective Against Breast Cancer

  • Researchers at the University of Cambridge utilized GPT-4 to identify combinations of existing non-cancer drugs that effectively target breast cancer cells. 

  • The AI analyzed vast scientific literature to suggest drug pairings, some of which outperformed current treatments in laboratory settings.

  • This approach could expedite the development of affordable cancer therapies by repurposing approved medications.

  • The study demonstrates AI's potential to revolutionize drug discovery and personalized medicine.

💡 Biz Insights

* AI-driven drug repurposing can reduce R&D costs and time-to-market for pharmaceutical companies.
