NIST Launches Gen AI Program and White House Updates Critical Infrastructure Oversight

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has recently launched the GenAI program with the goal of establishing benchmarks for generative AI technologies. This initiative is crucial for enhancing transparency in the AI field and ensuring the safe and reliable use of these technologies. The program will focus on evaluating generative AI technologies, releasing benchmarks, developing deepfake detection systems, and promoting the creation of software to identify the source of AI-generated information.In the podcast episode, it was highlighted that Microsoft, Google, and Amazon all experienced significant revenue growth in the first quarter of the year. Microsoft reported a 17% revenue growth, attributed to the momentum from CoPilot, its AI-powered chatbot. The growth rate remained steady compared to the previous quarter. Additionally, revenue from Activision, which Microsoft acquired in October, contributed to the overall growth. Azure Cloud Computing Service saw a 21% revenue growth, potentially boosted by new AI-powered services. Three things to know today00:00 NIST Launches GenAI Program to Set Benchmarks for Generative AI and Enhance Transparency03:50 White House Updates Critical Infrastructure Oversight with National Security Memorandum-2206:35 Microsoft, Google, and Amazon Leverage AI and Cloud for Substantial Q1 Revenue Growth  Supported by:  https://coreview.com/msp/https://skykick.com/mspradio/   All our Sponsors:   https://businessof.tech/sponsors/    All our Sponsors:   https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?
