openai says it's only a coincidence, but johansson isn't buying it. the feud that's developing tonight, also east bay leaders are sounding the alarm on an ambulance shortage. why buying more vehicles and hiring more emts might not solve the problem. plus, the man convicted of attacking the husband of congresswoman nancy pelosi will be sentenced again. the error the judge made prompting this move. does it mean a different prison sentence ? there we go. and ever wonder what it's like to run the bay to breakers? we've got a unique perspective of san francisco's zany annual event. good evening, i'm raj mathai. happy monday to you. we're going to start off with some of the headlines that we are watching at this hour. hundreds of university workers are now on strike. this is all about the israel-hamas war and the uc system's response to all of those campus protests. the first group to walk off the job, academic employees down at uc santa cruz. the strike was announced last friday and was voted on by members of the uaw local 4811. that union represents about

to be because microsoft owns a good chunk of openai and openai will provide data or services for manyf the other tech assistants. how does that picture look in the coming weeks and months? >> it depends on how the deal is structured for microsoft, keep in mind that openai activity is run on microsoft's azure cloud. if apple is going to have a deal with openai, it will benefit azure growth because of the a.i. activity microsoft could be a quiet beneficiary there. >> what is the highlight, steve, out of the developer conferences? what is the one thing you are watching with regard to the a.i. announcements? >> the idea of what they call agents, dom. the supercharged assistants. we have used siri and alexa. i don't have to tell you what is wrong with the assistants. you can be more conversational the with them and you can do more things without tapping around the app this is the beginning of the journey of a.i. agents we will get the vision from the major players. >> sifi today. thank you, steve >>> coming up on the show, the earnings spotlights set to shine on the retail sector with home

what openai did _ about al. very true! what openai did not _ about al. very true!e! what openai did not do was . about al. very true! what - openai did not do was launch a search product which many thought they would do. that is still to come. i pay a lot of attention in my research to consumer behaviour and you are exactly right. google has a lock on so many, millions and millions of people who google thinks, it is a word, just like any other word, to google things, and google will use that to its advantage to get people more comfortable with al and to allow them to experience ai through google's lens. i think it has a powerful lens to do that. ., ,. ., think it has a powerful lens to do that. . ,. ., ., do that. fascinating for me, who is a _ do that. fascinating for me, who is a technophobe! - do that. fascinating for me, | who is a technophobe! thank do that. fascinating for me, - who is a technophobe! thank you for your thoughts. bringing you other business news, the justice bringing you other business news, thejustice department is bowing airlines could be pr

i think you're right in saying that openai front-ran the iowa event.s shorter than i was expecting and they showed off some really cool technology, which steve was just talking about, but also, flew a little bit under the radar today. google tweeted out its own technology ahead of i/o and maybe it was just a teaser, but it looked similar to what chatgpt showed us and openai showed us earlier today and that is a phone looking at an empty i/o stage, responding very conversationally, looking at the images and understanding that, responding to a voice more in a conversational sense and scott, i think this tells us that we're moving from the era of chat bots to the era of a.i. assistants or agents, which a lot of folks have been talking about for a long time. it's pretty amazing to see the first glimpses of that today, both from openai and from google, and so this race is just getting under way. it will be exciting to see what google has tomorrow. steve mentioned the botched demos in the past. it has been sort of a turbulent ride for google, trying -- it wa

this morning on openai, but there are real questions about what openai and some of these other platformsy of these media companies and other ip owners many years ago and said, we want to make a deal, unclear they could get that deal now, they've done what they've done, and they're sort of forcing the issue. of course, "the new york times," which i have a relationship with, suing over this very issue. >> yes well, certainly, going to be a lot of lawsuits to come, and that's sort of par for the course here. i definitely personally, as a human being, i'm a little hesitant about a.i. models being trained off of my likeness, and i don't -- i'm not looking forward to the near future when there's all these deep fake videos of all of us everywhere that sound like us i can empathize with scarlett johansson on this. and yeah, i do think that it is just a -- we're in a new world, and it's -- it is quite scary, but this is where we're at >> that's a longer debate. i also want to ask you about this as a venture capitalist i want to play you a little bit of sound and get your reaction to this, because

a clear signal, openai means business.insiders raise some red flags. for the first time, a former board member speaking out on sam altman's ouster. helen toner was one of the board members behind the coup and she pointed to a toxic atmosphere, psychological abuse, sketchy safety abuses and accuses altman of outright lying. one of the more fascinating and shocking revelations that she talked about was learning about the launch of chatgbt in november of 2022 on twitter. she says that the board was not informed in advance. yet, since then, the new board has consolidated power under sam altman, and the drive to commercialize his only gaming momentum, which could complicate openai openai's relationship with its biggest backer, microsoft. enterprise is microsoft's bread and butter. pwc will give openai 100,000 licenses. you can imagine those licenses going to microsoft in another kind of land scape. so guys, i wanted to end on this chart here. i thought it was interesting. it's microsoft versus google. since last november when t

the deal with openai is a two way. openai licenses reddit to get text data to train models. reddit is talking about building ai products into the forum on top of the language models. applied materials makes the machines that makes the chips, like tsmc. it beat estimates but the upper range given by the street, it fell short. where are we at in chip demand? through the proxy of the companies that by the machines. caroline: is this a bellwether? maybe not autos or connected devices but all things ai still driving us. what about china exposure? we can go broadly across the sector with joanne. this is a chip equipment company but what are you seeing in terms of where we are right now? >> better than expected results but their guidance was soft. in this kind of market, that doesn't go over well. they indicated continued demand from and markets except for china. with u.s. trade policy trying to crackdown on exports that would enable china to have its own leading edge chip business, applied materials is in the crosshairs. no surprise. that side will fall sharply. global demand for

but a lot of today focused on openai and that latest gpt 4.0 version that openai just shared last weekat's the one where you could have a sort of natural language conversation, it's multi-modal, meaning it could interpret images, text, and voice. but of course, there was that controversy, the scarlett johansson thing, where they had to take down the voice that sounded like her. scarlett johansson saying they didn't use my permission for this and they tried to use me. you know the controversy there. but sam altman did make a surprise announcement at the very tail end of that keynote talking to microsoft's cto, kevin scott, a little bit about how those two companies will work together. sort of hinting at the future of what's coming next. altman not really giving too much away, but saying only that chatgpt is going to get a lot smarter very soon here, scott. >> steve, stay with us. joining us now to discuss all of this, how he's playing the ai trades, gene munster, deepwater management. good to see you. >> good to see you. >> i look at the notes here. you don't earn microsoft. and i get t

scarlet johansson claims that openai is copying her fois. as our lauren toms shows us, the actress says their new personal assistant sounds just like her. >> would you like your os to have a male or female voice? >> female, i guess. >> reporter: like a scene from a sci-fi movie, a familiar-sounding robotic voice is ready to assist in way this is ai expert says is way ahead of schedule, but this scene has become reality. >> the scenario we are living in now which is in 2024 started in 2022, we supposed to have it in 2040 based on the progression of the hardware and the software and the talents. it's a little bit concerning, because we are going too fast. >> reporter: that speed has catapulted san francisco-based ai company openai squarely in a debate over intellectual property after actress scarlet johansson claimed the company's voice feature named sky sounded similar to her voice. the company has census pended its use. it's an issue, he says, that. cos down to intellectual property. >> buffet mouse people who have some kind of a special ton

kudos to the openai team.the portfolio of craft, did you try to get into the xai round? david: we did participate in that. caroline: will you integrate xa i into glue and how will you think about whether or not there will be a commoditized version of large language models. david: i expect we will integrate all of them. our view is that we are llm agnostic. we want to give them a chance -- choice of what to use and help them make the choice in terms of the model to use based on the query they are trying to ask. so, we actually think that the more models, the bettel are -- the better. caroline: could xai have gotten a better valuation? david: i don't want to announce around for them, but if the question is whether we participated, we did. ed: it's a presidential election year. background in technology, testing, you been vocal on the political front. will you be more active this year in this election cycle? david: we talk about politics in the all in pod. foreign-policy events all over the world. obviously, the e

it is getting head the big tech companies would not be doing this without openai openai forced them toeir business with artificial intelligence it is interesting they are going first in this and it will look like appearance wise, they are following the big guys. >> what is the take that there is an agreement with openai and apple and what do you think that portends for what that product could like likor what deal they could have in place with gemini being in talks with apple and google stock surged. >> google stock went down a bit. >> we were talking about the on chip and off chip and how google is implementingthis structure. >> let's say it does happen. this is great for microsoft cloud because openai runs on the azure cloud. the more stuff happening on openai, the more money microsoft makes from the cloud products. if it is trstructured that way siri and stuff is running on timers or if you ask a question, that goes to the internet. that is not a new paradigm, but if that is running in microsoft's cloud, that is hug news for microsoft it depends what does it look like your colleagues

openai one will be streamed. and we know that we won't get gpt-5, we won't get some kind of search engine, but sam altman said that he will produce something that users will really like and he thinks is magic. and that is what openai has been good at. whether it was the original chatgpt, whether the image or video generator, there is some speculation over what we could be hearing today one possibility is an ai agent and it feels like the whole field is going toward an ai agent. you talk about wwdc, a key question there, how can siri be better, how can it turn into this ai agent. sam altman talked about an extension of the user that can like automatically write emails and respond and the other almost like an can executive assistant that can reason, that can push back almost like a senior executive with a ceo he said he liked the latter better so that is a possibility we'll be listening for that. and another possibility or upgrade being speculated is built-in phone call capability so we'll see features not some mas

openai boss sam altman says upgrades to chatgpt will transform the platform into "ai from the movies". and as india's election enters its fourth phase, we have a special report from the politically sensitive city of ayodhya. hello and welcome to business today. i'm steve lai. let's begin in the united states, because a week of developer conferences are being held in the tech world, with three giants set to release their latest features and products in generative artificial intelligence. up first, chatgpt�*s parent company openai, which unveiled its new flagship model gpt—lio. from new york, the bbc�*s erin delmore has all the details. 20 years ago, the biggest battle in tech was over who would win the war for search engine dominance. google took the prize, and it isn't nowjust a multitrillion—dollar company. it's also a verb. so now enter the latest fight over who will lead on generative ai. the start—up openai took the tech sector by storm with its chatgpt chatbot in late 2022. that could answer users�* queries and carry out human—like conversation. mark, you're not a vacuum cleaner!

that's something the maker of chatgpt, openai, is trying to tackle. joining us live now to discuss this, tiffany lee associate professor, law professor at the university of san francisco, who has studied deepfakes extensively. professor lee, thanks for joining us. thanks for having me . using ai tools to create nudes or explicit images. that is already happening, isn't it? and it has been happening. >> yes, using ai tools to create these often non-consensual deepfake sexual images is something that has been happening, i would say, for years already. now. >> okay, so npr is now reporting that openai is exploring how to responsibly allow users to make ai generated and explicit content. is there a way to allow it to be responsible about it? >> it's a really tricky subject. so on one hand, we do maybe want to allow educational uses, maybe artistic uses, but at the same time, the risks are so severe, there's so much potential harm that could be caused. >> and can we talk about first before we dive into what might be the harm, what could be educational or a

plus, apple will reportedly use openai tech for a new a.i.eature on the iphone and other apple gadgets. such deep integration with the two largest companies in the world means openai's problems and controversies, from safety issues to what openai uses, fall on microsoft and am,pple, as we, until they can make something as good on their own. to recap the departure of high-profile co-founders and execs who were concerned the start-up wasn't taking safety seriously enough they disbanded a specialized safety team after that departure, then, of course, scarlett johansson debacle playing out this week. questions whether the company and ceo sam aultman were fully honest about the situation i asked about the use of openai technology given the latest issues >> we have confidence in sam aultman with the team. they have great work that's the focus of openai, to build a great future of a.i. for the world. we work with them quite a bit, and we also add our own extra efforts we put on top of that. we have great confidence in their work and the work we put

is this announcement related to openai? >> perhaps it is. and in fact, and that was part of a live demonstration by openai using a voice the company has dubbed sky johansen said in a statement. >> the voice sounds eerily similar to mine, but the company says it was actually done by a different professional actor. still, openai said it suspended the use of sky out of respect. johansen also said that last year, openai asked her to license her voice for the company's virtual assistants, but she declined as she said she's really shocked and angry that the company pursued a voice that sounds so similar to hers. >> and according to a report from npr, johansen's legal team is now asking openai to detail how it developed that sky voice. so let's talk more about all of this, especially the legal questions being raised by this latest controversy with jd harryman, an attorney at the foundation law group, which specializes in intellectual property issues. thank you so much for joining us. jd johansson, she is clearly upset, says she feels betrayed, but

there's a lot to be digested with openai, as usual.rt with perhaps -- is this a stun and moving on real pushback? at one point sam altman had posted saying "her," so we had anticipated it being scarlett johansson. >> yeah, this is one of several of their voices the app they launch last year. it has a good avail quote her -- it has a bit of "her" sound to it. where they had her most recent event in their new model, they had started to think it started to sound a little bit like that. it is one of these several leases that all sound kind of different. it is -- caroline: it is worth saying that openai says it's a different actress, but we all think about that movie where, worse, someone falls in love with a female artificial intelligence product. but what is also happening is a tumult to the surface. you are reporting that the super alignment team disbanded after the key executives left. there's a lot to talk about with the pay of the people over at openai if they leave. rachel: yeah, there's a lot going on over there in the past week. su

openai launching a new flagship model during its spring update today. steve kovach watched the announcement and is here right now with all the details >> yeah, openai actually front running google's big developer conference which is happening tomorrow with an announcement of its own. revealed its latest a.i. model called gpt 4.0, which is capable of having natural conversations with you just talk to it like you would a friend or a coworker you can even interrupt it and ask it to speak in a different tone, do live translations, and so much more it is also multimodal. that's a term you're going to hear a lot it can process images, text, or voice. it's going to be rolling out over the coming weeks and the company's cto teased there's even more coming with a, quote, next big thing to be revealed soon ceo sam altman was not part of the event, but he did publish a blog post, calling gpt 4.0 the best computer interface i've ever used. altman called openai a business, and will, quote, find plenty of things to charge for now, remember, openai structured as a non

caroline: openai raises 6 billion. let's go to the public markets.here is a lot to digest this week. a shortened trading week. we are up .52% on the nasdaq. home sales were covering what does the fed do? for now, we are pushing long technology in the face of hawkish sentiment. two year yield down point 0172. for now, we see yields take lower. new york crude up 2.21% this is because of geopolitical risks. let's look at bitcoin. down under pressure, it is noticeable 67,000 try to factor into that 9 billion held by creditors when we start to see the movement. will we see creditors finally able to sell? ed: there will be a really big focus on semiconductors we will go to our team around the country to talk about that. nvidia is the biggest point boost. the story we will focus on is elon musk closing the mecca funding round. will they use nvidia as a cluster to train language models. amd is coming to market. dell in association with nvidia one of the biggest gainers and intel feeling the love. then there is apple, there is this data from china. last month

first, why are you frustrated with openai and what are the issues. second, what you expect to do with x ai. elon: i have a concern for all of the major programs. the two biggest ones are openai which is a partnership with microsoft. you have cool the mind and openai microsoft as the two largest players. the concern i have and this may seem like a small concern but i think it is a big issue is that there are not truth seeking. they are pandering to political correctness. to give them the example, one of the questions people ask which was commissioned during caitlyn jenner or global and political warfare. so, ok but if you have an ai that is so -- has been trying so hard for political correctness and really to make crazy statements like that, openai has a similar issue that is more subtle. i think that is extremely dangerous because the ai can conclude that the best way to avoid mr. during would be to destroy all -- avoid miss jen gendering is to destroy all humans. i think the safest thing for ai to be truth seeking even if the truth is unpopular, ver

and now the actor is threatening legal action for what she says is essentially openai's copy paste of her voice. here's the voice of, here is the voice that chatgpt used for sky hey, chatgpt, i mark. how are you oh, mark i'm doing great. >> thanks for asking. how about you clare, duffy, as following those for us who's here with me now, what's happening here, right? so essentially when openai announced the launch of this updated chatgpt with this boy sky people started drawing comparisons when correlate johanson is voice in this film, her, which of course is a quasi dystopian film about the relationship between humans and technology. the voice also faced backlash for being kind of weirdly flirtatious. so openai on monday announced that it was gonna be pausing the use of this voice, but then monday night, we get this statement from scarlett johansson suggesting that it may have had more to do with her, that they decided to pause she said that openai ceo sam altman reach out to her in september asking if she would be the voice of openai 4.0 of chatgpt four point, i should say, and she de

>> once the big news now that's openai as new sky voice, does it sound familiar? well, a lead immediately following the e demo that demo openai ceo sam altman send out a tweet. >> one word per. now, johanson is speaking out. >> she's saying that she turned down not one, but two offers from openai ceo sam altman to have her voice the chatgpt system. >> she saying this in a statement when i heard the released demo, i was shocked angered, and in disbelief that mr. altman would pursue a voice that sounded so eerily similar to mine. it's called johansen lloyd up and tonight the sky voice is on pause openai saying the sky voice was not derived from johanson but instead belonged to a different professional actress using her own natural speaking voice. during we now see that contribute an author burn book, kara swisher alright, qarrah, first of all, is the sky voice yours that the big news right now, what's going on? >> yes, that's me. yes. i'm not even here right now. this karam has gone era i always suspected bad. but what do you think does she sound lights project or h
