Meta (META) Faces New Rival as Baidu Unveils AI Smart Glasses

We recently published a list of 11 AI News and Ratings You Should Not Miss. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) stands against other AI news and ratings you should not miss.

As tools like ChatGPT by OpenAI become more popular, a larger debate has been ignited among AI businesses in the United States over content creation and copyrights. AI startup OpenAI, the most valuable private firm in the world, recently won an important battle in this regard when a New York federal judge on November 7 dismissed a lawsuit against the company that alleged that the startup had misused articles from news outlets Raw Story and AlterNet to train its large language models. A spokesperson for the startup said in a statement following the ruling that OpenAI had built their AI models using publicly available data, in a manner protected by fair use and related principles, and supported by long-standing and widely accepted legal precedents.

The win is likely to further boost the future prospects of OpenAI, a startup that is already investing in other AI ventures. Latest reports, published by news agency Reuters, claim that the company was part of a funding round for Physical Intelligence, a startup that is developing foundational software for robots, earlier this week. The robot startup managed to raise more than $400 million in funding through the round. This valued the firm at more than $2 billion. Jeff Bezos and venture capital firms like Thrive Capital and Lux Capital were also part of the funding round. Research by venture capital firm Accel suggests that funding of AI and cloud companies in the US, Europe, and Israel is estimated to hit $79.2 billion by the end of 2024.
