Top 5 stories of the week: Nvidia and OpenAI updates, 2023 cybersecurity predictions, and more

Check out the on-demand sessions from the Low-Code/No-Code Summit to learn how to successfully innovate and gain efficiencies by improving and scaling citizen developers. Watch now.

As we enter December, marking the end of the year and begin to anticipate what's on the horizon for the tech industry as we approach 2023, experts from various companies have unveiled their predictions , their ideas and even a preview of upcoming innovations.

Even in the midst of a possible recession, it's clear that artificial intelligence (AI) experts expect innovation to continue, especially when it comes to generative AI. In fact, this week, Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, shared insights into the expansive use cases that generative AI can provide for the metaverse, including the growing demand to populate the virtual world with 3D assets and graphics.

Similarly, OpenAI, the company behind the generative AI tools DALL-E and GPT-3, said this week that it is working on a new AI-based language model that will be part of of the GPT-3 family. Reportedly, the model, GPT-3.5, will be able to handle more complex instructions and in turn produce higher quality results.

Advances in medical AI also made headlines this week. Nvidia announced that it is working to better integrate AI models into clinical workflows and also aims to simplify medical imaging – an area the Harvard Medical School AI research team is working on. also separately.

With the many technological advances in all sectors, discussions about cybersecurity vulnerabilities also ensue. 2022 has been a year of many victories and also of worries for IT and security professionals. Just as a breach of the Twitter API exposed the information of 5.4 million users, which was recently made freely available by hackers, security continues to be an ever-changing landscape with changing targets. rapidly. To better understand the biggest threats, VentureBeat spoke with 31 CISOs from companies like Google, IBM, Microsoft, AWS and dozens more about what they're paying close attention to as they approach the new year.

Here are more of our top 5 tech stories of the week:

How Generative AI Could Create Assets for the MetaverseJensen Huang, CEO of AI and graphics chip maker Nvidia, believes that generative AI will be transformational and is just getting started. One of its biggest applications could be with the metaverse, which has huge content demands as developers need to populate virtual worlds with 3D assets. Companies like Stable Diffusion, Promethean AI, and Ludo AI use these technologies to automatically generate artwork and other assets for gaming and metaverse apps.

Many companies in the metaverse hope that generative AI will provide them with the resources to help them build their world. Huang thinks you'll see progress as you enter more and more prompts, such as text to flesh out a concept, and the concept imagery will get better and better.
