Max Vermeir

Senior Director of AI Strategy, ABBYY >

Strap in for a rollercoaster ride through April's tech wonderland, where robots outshine their creators, AI goes on a diet, and Europe plays the referee in the AI arena.

First, imagine a world where Elon Musk's robot dreams play catch-up with the new kid on the block, Figure 01. This isn't a run-of-the-mill automaton; it's a high-five'n, trash-pick'n marvel, setting the pace for our robotic future.

Then, we're shrinking our tech appetites with Small Language Models (SLMs). These little geniuses are punching above their weight, making big data munching cleaner, faster, and cheaper. It's like putting your AI on a fitness plan – good for the planet, your pocket, and your processing times.

And, drumroll for the EU AI Act, the new rulebook for the digital playground. It’s like the EU looked at AI and said, “Cool story, now let's add some guardrails.” From banning sneaky surveillance to making AI as transparent as grandma's living room curtains, it's reshaping how we'll play the game of tech.

So, welcome to the future – where robots are more polite than your date, AI slims down for summer, and Europe's setting the trend in tech-taming. Let's dive into the stories that are making us laugh, think, and, frankly, keep our eyebrows raised.

Top AI News This Month 


1. Should Elon Musk’s Optimus be embarrassed of the new robot?  >

Figure 01, the latest robot star, makes Tesla's Optimus look like it's still learning to crawl, demonstrating a finesse in tasks that's almost arrogant. Let's just hope it sticks closer to Asimov's three laws than Westworld's adventurous interpretations. 

2. Is Going Small the Next Big Thing in AI's Evolution?  > 

Small Language Models are benefitting from new discoveries, showing that sometimes less is indeed more in AI's aim for efficiency and sustainability. I unpack that these powerhouses might just be the key to unlocking a greener, smarter future without breaking the bank.  

3. What’s next since the EU AI Act has been passed?  >  

The EU AI Act is setting the stage for a tech-tightrope, with regulations that could make or break innovation. Tune into the AI Pulse Podcast where AI ethics maestro Andrew Pery and I dissect its potential to be more than just a digital buzzkill.
