Hello and welcome to Eye on AI! In this edition…Meta pilots AI business agents; Anthropic raises a fresh $3.5 billion at $61.5 valuation; huge bank loans for AI data centers; a new vision model from Cohere’s nonprofit arm.
Last week, I met with Kyunghyun Cho, a prominent AI researcher and professor of computer and data science at New York University. Cho is highly regarded for his work that led to the development of the Transformer architecture, which serves as the foundation of OpenAI’s ChatGPT. He is also well-known for his research into the use of AI in health care, including improving breast cancer screenings.
