| 1 | | Today, U.S. President Biden signed an executive order that places certain guardrails around the development and use of AI technologies. During a White House speech, Biden called AI the "most consequential technology of our time," saying he would do everything possible to "promote and demand responsible innovation." More: - Under the order, any company creating an AI model with possible national security risks must report it to the government and give information on the testing and security measures taken. That sharing of test data only applies to future models such as GPT-5.
- In-use models like GPT-4 or Google's Bard are also still subject to other parts of the order, including equity, non-discrimination, consumer protection, and worker-related provisions.
- The order will also require federal agencies to assess large AI models before using them and share reports on how they plan to incorporate AI.
Zoom out: - Through the order, the government will offer guidance to landlords and federal contractors about how to stop AI algorithms from worsening discrimination.
- The Department of Health and Human Services was directed to look into potentially harmful AI-related healthcare practices and provide resources for responsible AI use in education.
- The order also expands AI research grants in areas like climate change and updates criteria for skilled immigrant workers to stay in the U.S.
- A full list of the actions is available here.

| 3 | | According to the Ipsos Consumer Tracker, the vast majority of Americans are not AI experts. Only 3% consider themselves experts in generative AI, while 29% claim some knowledge, and 23% lack any skill or knowledge of the technology. 
What the numbers show: The Ipsos Consumer Tracker surveys Americans on culture, the economy, and other influential topics. When it comes to knowledge about AI, most respondents are either self-taught (52%) or rely on social media and online tutorials (46%). 
What else: Meanwhile, 55% are very or somewhat interested in learning how to use generative AI tools. With over half the population eager for AI education, there's a chance for both established and emerging players to provide instruction and training, be it in the workplace, education system, or for self-learners, according to Ipsos.

| 4 | | OpenAI is rolling out an "upload file" feature for some ChatGPT Plus subscribers. The "Advanced Data Analysis" feature, now in beta, allows paid users to upload files like data sheets and PDFs and ask ChatGPT to analyze them. More: - After processing the uploaded file, ChatGPT can do tasks like answering questions, summarizing data, and generating data visualizations.
- Besides text files, ChatGPT can also "see" and analyze images through its DALL-E 3 integration for paid users.
- Mashable's Stan Schroeder fed ChatGPT a scholarly article about melting ice caps, and the chatbot generated bulleted key points, insights, and a comprehensive summary.
- OpenAI hasn't revealed plans for broader availability.
Zoom out: - In late September, OpenAI announced that ChatGPT could now browse the internet for up-to-date information and is no longer limited to data before September 2021.
