Enterprise hits and misses - robotics and gen AI converge, the FTC shakes up non-competes, and AI projects need critical thinkers

Lead story - Robotics AI advancements - where are we now?

I keep a pretty close eye on robotics - that's where AI is truly put to the real world test. It's one thing to build (impressive) probabilistic systems that predict the next word, or generate images on spec from training material.

These deep learning advancements are non-trivial achievements. Advancements in language translation alone are eye-opening.

But it's another thing to respond intelligently/immediately to an unpredictable world of perpetual movements - as the makers of the Humane AI pin (powered by OpenAI technology) have learned the hard way: Even more reasons Humane’s Ai Pin is a total bust.

So bring on George's How Rabbit’s Large Action Models tease the future of RPA. Rabbit debuted their R1 device at CES this week:

The new device can recognize objects and translate and manage interactions with web apps and AI ...
