The AI Impact Tour Seeks Sponsors to Grow Brand Awareness.
Late nights with a newborn led to the creation of a groundbreaking new “self-operating computer framework” by OthersideAI developer Josh Bickett. He got the idea while feeding his daughter in the middle of the night.
VentureBeat recently spoke to Bickett, who shared that the timing of the idea came while enjoying the time with his daughter, and it was the inspiration for the new framework that can happen with GPT-4 vision. With the new framework in place, advanced AI models could learn to take over all computer interactions just through conversational commands.
With the self-operating computer framework in place, advanced AI models could learn to take over all computer interactions just through conversational commands. According to the co-founder and CEO of OthersideAI, Matt Shumer, the real potential lies not in the lightweight framework itself, but in the advanced computer vision and reasoning models that can be plugged into it. According to Shumer, the goal is to develop agents that will enable “a world where people can say, this is what I hate doing. Now, I don’t have to do it anymore.”
The AI research company Imbue secured a $150 million partnership with Dell to build a powerful AI training platform. This initiative will allow Imbue to develop new foundation models optimized specifically for reasoning abilities, a key focus of their work. The company aims to advance both the practical and fundamental understanding of deep learning with the goal of engineering AI capable of human-level reasoning and eventual artificial general intelligence.
The self-operating computer framework is just the first step, but it marks the beginning of a new era where sophisticated AI agents could replace human computing interfaces entirely. Late nights may keep yielding paradigm-shifting ideas, but it will take focused work to realize the vision of computers that work for anyone, anywhere, through ordinary language alone.
