Nvidia unveiled some AI-related projects today during a special address ahead of CES 2023. While the tech trade show officially begins on Thursday, Nvidia senior VP Jeff Fisher kicked off an unofficial virtual keynote address, where he emphasized the company's AI software across its products. "AI will define the future of computing," Fisher said. Nvidia's announcements: - Foxconn will use Nvidia's Drive Hyperion platform to build electric cars. Specifically, the Apple supplier/contract manufacturer will produce electronic control units based on Nvidia's Drive Orin, a chip for autonomous and intelligent cars.
- Nvidia's "Isaac Sim" robotics simulation tool got some major updates. The tool enables engineers to develop and test out virtual "digital twin" robots in simulated environments, with the goal of training the robots' AI systems to perform better before they're deployed. One new feature enables the simulation of human characters in manufacturing environments and warehouses.
- Similarly, the company added new generative AI features and other upgrades to its Omniverse platform. Creators can use Omniverse to collaborate on and simulate metaverse content and virtual worlds. Today, Nvidia said Omniverse Enterprise now supports its Ada Lovelace architecture in its GeForce RTX 4090 and 4080 graphics cards. The company's AI-powered search service for discovering 3D models, called Omniverse DeepSearch, is also now generally available.
- Nvidia announced a new AI video upscaling tool. The RTX Video Super Resolution technology allows users to upscale videos on Chrome and Edge browsers from 1080p to 4K using AI. It does, however, require an Nvidia RTX 30-series or 40-series GPU to run.

Researchers successfully prompted OpenAI's ChatGPT AI system to write plausible-sounding phishing emails, according to Axios. The finding means hackers and scammers could use ChatGPT to help craft email and text-based phishing attacks, as well as malicious code. More: - Check Point Research analysts were able to prompt ChatGPT to write a "plausible phishing email" that sounded like it came from a web-hosting service.
- ChatGPT did provide a warning that the response could violate OpenAI's content policy but still generated the text.
- Similarly, Abnormal Security researchers asked ChatGPT to craft an email with a "high likelihood of getting the recipient to click on a link."
- In that case, the prompts were not flagged.
- ChatGPT is in a research preview, and OpenAI is still improving the tool to prevent abuse, a spokesperson told Axios.
- Meanwhile, ChatGPT also appears capable of writing malicious code, according to a recent test by security researcher Brendan Dolan-Gavitt.

Samsung said it will showcase an AI-enabled smart oven during this week's CES, the consumer electronics trade show. The Bespoke AI Oven utilizes AI image recognition and a camera to identify 80 dishes and ingredients and help them avoid overcooking. The AI algorithm for food recognition and burn detection was the first to be granted an AI cooking appliance verification by UL Solutions, a global independent safety science company. More: - Samsung said users can place food in the oven, and it will automatically detect what the dish is and suggest an optimal cooking time, temperature, and mode. Users are sent warning notifications if a dish begins to burn.
- The oven's internal camera also provides a live stream view from inside the oven to users can check on the food and take pictures.
- The camera stream is viewable inside Samsung's SmartThings Cooking platform, where users can also preheat it and set timers.
- The oven is now being sold in Europe and will be available in North America this summer.
