Top 5 stories of the week: ChatGPT, CES and AWS cybersecurity tips

Check out all the Smart Security Summit on-demand sessions here.

Happy second full week of 2023. While our poor colleagues in California saw rain, more rain, and extended power outages, the news from CES in Las Vegas was hot, hot, hot.

But first, editor Sharon Goldman announced that ChatGPT could be coming to Microsoft Office as early as March this year. Will it be more useful than the very aligned Clippy? Stay tuned.

Our second and third featured articles are summaries of CES. In the first, our fearless (and very tired) editor Dean Takahashi reviews the 18 things he saw among the 3,000 exhibitors at the event. In the second CES story, Goldman highlights AI and ML news from CES, and what it means for businesses.

Our fourth story of the week is also from the beat of AI. This one, however, is a little less optimistic, as it shows that AI companies are not immune to the effects of the current economic downturn.

Finally, our fifth story is about our safety pace. Editor/Editor Taryn Plumb interviewed AWS security chiefs to get their predictions for 2023. Spoiler alert: zero trust might be mentioned.

Here are the five most popular articles of the week of January 9.

Over the weekend, The Information reported that Microsoft is considering adding OpenAI's chatbot technology (currently ChatGPT, soon to be GPT-4) to its Office suite of productivity technologies, including Word, Outlook, and Power point. And later that day, Semafor announced that Microsoft, which invested $1 billion in OpenAI in 2019, is in talks to invest an additional $10 billion in the company.

Microsoft's newsfeed got me wondering: How could these apps on steroids, used by billions of businesses around the world, change the way we work? Especially once Google is fully in the game, integrating its own generative AI capabilities into Google Workspace? Will AI become as commonplace in our daily work life as the humble spreadsheet?

The CES 2023 tech trade show was in full swing in Las Vegas this past weekend, drawing large crowds to North America's largest tech trade festival.

During or before CES 2023, I recorded around 80 press events, interviews and sessions. I walked 87,447 steps in five days, which is over 38.81 miles. I wrote 43 stories. I gave two interviews. And moderated a panel. My feet hurt.

This year saw nearly 3,000 exhibitors, compared to 1,900 in 2021 and 4,000 (in person) in 2020. Here are the 18 things that caught my eye.

Since CES is owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association, it makes perfect sense for it to focus on consumer technology. But that doesn't mean there aren't significant business benefits, especially when it comes to artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML).

This is especially true in a year when few technologies are generating as much excitement as AI and ML, especially when it comes to generative AI, including DALL-E and ChatGPT.

We asked vendor experts to give us their feedback on the most important AI and ML takeaways they saw coming out...
