  Programming has become an essential skill in the digital age. As technology advances rapidly, the demand for individuals with programming expertise is skyrocketing. However, the programming world can often appear complex and daunting, with steep learning curves and technical jargon discouraging many from pursuing this valuable skill. But according to Nvidia CEO, anyone can be a programmer with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). In this article, we will explore the role of AI in programming, how it can democratize access to this skill, and the benefits and challenges associated with AI-assisted programming.   Introduction In today's technology-driven world, programming skills have become highly sought after. From developing software applications to managing complex data systems, programming forms the backbone of numerous industries. However, acquiring these skills has traditionally been perceived as complex and time-consuming. Many individuals are deterred by the notion tha

 Products that are counterfeit hurt consumers in a variety of ways. Because counterfeit goods frequently fall short of quality and safety standards, they pose serious risks to consumer health and safety. Consumers are exposed to potential risks from counterfeit electronics prone to malfunction to counterfeit medications with ineffective or harmful ingredients. Consumers who buy counterfeit goods also lose money because they are tricked into paying for inferior or fraudulent goods. Fake products also damage consumer confidence in reputed brands and companies, harming the economy. However, a mobile app may make it simpler for users to identify fake or counterfeit goods in the future.    AI is used to identify distinct features in products by FeaturePrint With just a single photo, the innovative FeaturePrint app from Alitheon, powered by artificial intelligence (AI), claims to be able to identify fake goods. Unintentionally selling a fake work of art has serious repercussions that could p

  Microsoft made a lot of noise during Build 2023 about its major announcement, the Windows Copilot. The concept is straightforward: integrate AI into the operating system. Now Windows will have an AI copilot, similar to how the Edge browser (and soon the entire stack of Office apps) do. However, in my conversation with Panos Panay, the head of Microsoft's Windows (and Surface) group, I wanted to delve into another potential application for generative AI as a tool for accessibility. Although it wasn't specifically stated this way, having a virtual assistant intelligently built into a computer's operating system certainly has some serious accessibility benefits. Panay was excited about the idea when I asked him about it. "I am so passionate about this topic. You realize that Copilot will work for you once it appears, regardless of your input mode. Microsoft has recently increased its offering in various ways, whether through Windows features like Live Captions or its mo

(Image credit: Tom's Hardware) There are numerous ways to text chat using a large language model, including ChatGPT, Google Bard, and MLC LLM, a mobile chatbot for your area. The ability to have a free-form conversation with NPCs (non-player characters) in games rather than using a pre-set set of interactions is the next frontier for AI. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang unveiled ACE for Games during the company's Computex 2023 keynote. This AI model foundry service uses natural language conversation, audio-to-facial expression, and text-to-speech / speech-to-text capabilities to bring game characters to life. Huang demonstrated a game in which a human player could converse with an NPC named Jin, who owns a ramen shop, and receive responses that sounded authentic and matched the NPC's backstory. In the demo, the player (who goes by the name of Kai) enters Jin's Ramen shop, asks him how he's doing (in voice), and they start talking about how dangerous the neighborhood is. Jin

The new ChatGPT app for the iPhone from OpenAI is the center of attention. Although the software has yet to be released for Android, the company is making great strides in app installs in the US. Earlier this month, the app was only made available on the iOS App Store in the United States, and since then, it has rapidly risen in popularity. Since OpenAI decided to expand the app to more areas today, its user base will grow even more globally. To find out if the ChatGPT app is accessible where you live, scroll down. With nearly 500,000 downloads in less than a week in the United States, OpenAI's ChatGPT is now accessible in more areas. Users had to use a computer or go to the company's official website on their phone before the app was made formally available on the iPhone. Users of the iPhone could create a bookmark icon for the website on their Home Screen, making it simple for them to access the AI language model. Although the procedure is lengthy, we are happy that OpenAI ha

  Due to "fundamental errors" in evaluating Microsoft's cloud gaming services, UK’s decision to block Microsoft's $69 billion acquisition of "Call of Duty" creator Activision Blizzard is being appealed by Microsoft.   UK’s anti-trust watchdog, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) rejected the deal in April, claiming it could harm competition in the budding cloud gaming market. This sparked a raging argument.   Microsoft announced on Wednesday that it had appealed the decision to UK’s Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT), and on Friday, a summary of its arguments was made public. The summary declared that the CMA's assessment that the deal would significantly reduce competition in the UK.'s cloud gaming market was incorrect.   Microsoft will make this claim in front of the Competition Appeal Tribunal, claiming that the CMA "made fundamental errors in its calculation and assessment of market share data for cloud gaming services

  Image by Google Google announced that the "Search Generative Experience" feature is starting to roll out today. The feature aims to directly integrate ChatGPT-style generative AI results into your Google search results page. The feature is now available for those selected as early access users from the waitlist and who had been using the mobile apps. Google's fruitful AI results are displayed in colourful boxes above the standard search results, unlike the typically stark-white Google page with ten blue links. Google will gather a ton of data from various websites and present it in a simple list with links to Best Buy and manufacturer websites for purchasing. This design has the potential to completely change how Google Search results are displayed if it ever becomes widely adopted. A large row of "Sponsored" shopping ads can be seen in one screenshot of a desktop search for "Bluetooth speakers," after which the fruitful AI results appear in a large

Global leaders are creating a voluntary pact while working on enforceable regulations because generative AI is advancing quickly. Governments worldwide are taking action in response to generative AI's potential to cause enormous disruption. According to Reuters, Thierry Breton, the European Commission's (EC) 's industry chief, said on Wednesday that the organization would collaborate with Alphabet to develop a voluntary agreement to set guidelines for artificial intelligence. To discuss the agreement, which will involve input from businesses based in Europe and other regions, Breton met with Google CEO Sundar Pichai in Brussels. The EU has a history of enacting stringent technology regulations, so the alliance offers Google the chance to contribute ideas while avoiding potential issues in the future. The compact aims to establish guidelines before official legislation, such as the EU's proposed AI Act, which will take much longer to develop and enact. In a statement, Br

Today marks the beginning of Microsoft Build, a sizable AI-focused event. The business has announced its plans to use AI more extensively across all its products and services, including Windows 11 and Microsoft 365. If you want to stay current, we've compiled all the most crucial event news below. Windows 11 is getting an AI Copilot Copilot, a virtual assistant from Microsoft, will be available on Windows 11. Microsoft incorporates this assistant into Edge, its Office programs, and GitHub. But the Windows Copilot will reside in the taskbar. You can ask Copilot to summarize, rewrite, and explain the text in any of the apps you're using, as well as change the settings on your computer by clicking on it. This brings up the Copilot sidebar. Next month, Microsoft says it will begin publicly testing the feature before expanding its user base.  Additionally, Windows 11 will receive a few more minor updates, such as Bluetooth LE support, which enables you to listen to high-quality audi
