Apple’s pursuit of ChatGPT-like AI and more
Apple’s CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is working on ChatGPT like AI chatbot and expects to hire more AI staff in the UK. Cook mentioned that AI is already integrated into Apple products, such as the Apple Watch's Fall Detection and Crash Detection features.
Also, Apple is planning to upgrade its search engine in the App Store and potentially develop a Google competitor "Pegasus". It’s being integrated into iOS and macOS, with the possibility of using gen AI tools to enhance it further. Apple's Spotlight search feature already allows users to search for web results, app details, and documents.
Why does this matter?
Popular players like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic may face strong rivalry with the coming Apple’s New AI chatbot. While Apple's search engine may not be as powerful as Google's, the company's robust App Store ads business and information database give it the potential to launch its own in the future. However, it remains uncertain if Apple will actually be able to replace Google?
Humane’s first AI device creating buzz
Humane Inc. has unveiled its first AI device ‘Humane Ai Pin’, at Coperni's Paris fashion show. The device was worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell. It is a screenless, standalone wearable with sensors for natural and intuitive interactions.
It does not need to be paired with a smartphone and features AI-powered optical recognition and a laser-projected display. The full capabilities of the Humane Ai Pin will be revealed on November 9.
Why does this matter?
The collaboration between Humane and Coperni highlights their shared belief in the power of design, creativity, and technology to drive change. Humane is strongly pushing the concept of a 'standalone device,' suggesting that part of its appeal lies in the convenience of leaving your smartphone behind, similar to what companies have pushed with smartwatches before.
LLM Lie Detector catching AI lies
This paper discusses how large language models can "lie" by outputting false statements even when they know the truth. The authors propose a simple lie detector that does not require access to the LLM's internal workings or knowledge of the truth. The detector works by asking unrelated follow-up questions after a suspected lie and using the LLM's yes/no answers to train a logistic regression classifier.
The lie detector is highly accurate and can generalize to different LLM architectures, fine-tuned LLMs, sycophantic lies, and real-life scenarios. This suggests that LLMs have consistent lie-related behavioral patterns that can be detected.
Why does this matter?
The proposed lie detector seems to provide a practical means to address trust-related concerns, enhancing transparency, responsible use, and ethical considerations in deploying LLMs across various domains. Which will ultimately safeguard the integrity of information and societal well-being.

Knowledge Nugget: The 5 Use Cases for Enterprise LLMs
This well-researched article by
discusses the importance of choosing the right use cases for enterprise Large Language Models. It highlights the potential pitfalls of selecting use cases that are a poor fit for LLM capabilities, fail to provide an advantage over existing workflows, or have unreliable data. These scenarios can lead to negative feedback, lack of support from leadership, and low user adoption.
However, when chosen correctly, LLM-based assistants, chat-with-data systems, and question-answering systems can be highly successful.
Why does this matter?
The article aims to provide readers with an understanding of LLM capabilities and how to identify suitable use cases in their organizations.
