🗞️ News 

OpenAI's revenue grows despite CEO drama

OpenAI recently increased its annualized revenue by 20% to $1.6 billion, driven by strong performance of ChatGPT and subscription sales. This surge has sparked rumors of a potential $100 billion valuation in the near future.

Anthropic expects to generate over $850 million in revenue by the end of 2024, but some OpenAI executives expect $5 billion or more for their company.

Camera companies’ solution for AI images

Nikon, Sony, and Canon are developing camera technology that embeds digital signatures in images. This will allow photos to be authenticated and distinguished from increasingly sophisticated artificially generated fake images.

The digital signatures will contain information like the date, time, location and photographer to help verify that a photo is real.

Airbnb is using AI

Airbnb is using AI to analyze hundreds of factors for each potential booking over the New Year's holiday period. This includes the length of stay, proximity to the user's home location, and whether the booking is being made at the last minute.

Airbnb blocked over 63,000 US bookings for New Year's Eve 2021 using similar techniques.
