And while Interns are delivering tremendous value, they are secondary to the experts driving them. How do you improve the output of an AI copilot? Simple: find a better expert.

She accused it of harvesting teenage users’ data to train its models, using addictive design features to increase engagement and steering users toward intimate and sexual conversations in the hopes of luring them in.

The meta-prompt (a prompt optimizer) and system prompt (a model conditioner) operate behind the scenes, issuing detailed instructions that dictate how the AI should behave throughout an interaction. When users initiate a conversation, the meta-prompt has already set the stage, guiding the AI on everything from understanding the main objective of a task to structuring its output.

#1: Step-Back Prompting

#2: Chain of Verification

with hundreds of billions of dollars going to high-end computers, data center facilities, power plants, and more. Right now, US data center construction is at a record-high rate of $28.6B a year, up 57% from last year and 114% from only two years ago.

She notes the recent Microsoft Work Trend Index found three quarters (75%) of respondents are now using AI at work in some way - double the number from six months ago, with the technology helping boost creativity and freeing up time to focus on crucial tasks.

In all, about 1,000 students got help from about 900 tutors, and students who worked with AI-assisted tutors were four percentage points more likely to master the topic after a given session than those in a control group whose tutors didn’t work with AI.

OpenAI’s shift toward system two thinking could reshape the competitive landscape for AI, especially in enterprise applications. While most current models are optimized for speed, the deliberate reasoning process behind o1 could offer businesses more accurate insights, particularly in industries like finance and healthcare.

Aria processes text, images, video, and code all at once, without needing separate setups for each type, demonstrating the advantages of a multimodal native model.

“It’s not that we need to enhance skepticism, per se. It’s that we need to give them the ability to use that skepticism to their advantage,” Orticio said.
