⭐ Microsoft brings “Everyday AI” to over 320 millions MS 365 users!

MSCopilotcreditincludedin365

Yesterday, I received a notification that my Microsoft 365 subscription now includes MS Copilot 365 AI credits.

It’s a smart move to integrate AI tools more broadly, especially when considering that Microsoft 365 has over 320 millions daily active users globally (as of 2024), and more than 2.3 millions companies using the “office” productivity suite.

According to the FAQ, the Personal and Family plans contains 60 AI credits.

What’s an AI credit? I quote: “A credit is counted each time you specifically request a Copilot or equivalent AI services action, such as generating text, a table, or an image.”

My experience with Copilot 365 so far has shown incredible productivity boosts in MS Teams and Excel. However, PowerPoint still feels like it needs refinement.

I’m very keen to explore specialized versions of Copilot like the Project Management Copilot to enhance team efficiency further.

Have you tried MS 365 Copilot?

What are your experiences with MS Copilot so far?

Let’s share our experiences.

ChatGPT Launches New Search Feature: OpenAI Challenges Perplexity and Google in AI Search

#ChatGPT just released the #search feature.

Nothing revolutionary here. OpenAI is catching up with Perplexity, the company that has pioneered #AI search.

There’s a new button (globe icon) on the left of the chat input. When you tap on it, it opens the “Browse mode,” similar to using a custom #GPT.

Search results clearly display the sources. You have the ability to go through them all.

It is clear, the new battle of the new search experience is openly starting. This new breed is ready to take on Google Search.

Llama 3.1 AI model

Llama 3.1, a 405 Billion parameters model, has just been released by Meta.

It comes with increased performances. Some early tests make it comparable to “GPT4o“.

A few perks:

  • Still #opensource
  • 128K token context window
  • Improved Multilingual Support. Meta is a leader in multilanguage models.
  • Comes with a new security and safety tool for advanced moderation and control mechanisms to ensure safe interactions.
  • Improved capabilities for creating synthetic data.

I find the partner ecosystem, including NVIDIA, Google Cloud, Microsoft, Groq supporting Llama already quite impressive (see picture).

But also…

While the EU AI Act has been officially published on July 12, 2024, in the EU official journal, to come into force on August 2, 2024, Meta made worrisome news for the #artificialintelligence open source community.

In a nutshell, Meta will withhold the rollout of multimodal AI models in the EU region until the regulatory rules are clarified.

The EU AI Act contains explicit rules for foundation models, also known as “general-purpose AI models”, amongst the following:

  • Article 51: Classification of general-purpose AI models as general-purpose #AI models with systemic risk
  • Article 53: Obligations for providers of general-purpose AI models
  • Article 55: Obligations for providers of general-purpose AI models with systemic risk
  • Article 56: Codes of practice

Let’s hope we will find a way to balance #innovation and #regulation.
