Hey Synapticians 😀 

OpenAI continues to lead in AI products ! Their latest update adds a task management system directly into ChatGPT, allowing users to create tasks easily using natural language within the chat. In the next few days, we’ll look at how people are using this feature. We think it has great potential to improve workflows, and other platforms may need to adapt quickly (Claude, Deepseek…).

As usual we always recommend trying new features yourself to see how they could help you. To get started, just select the new model type from the list of templates.

Give it a try and see what it can do for you!

The US has announced new AI chip export restrictions, limiting access for countries like China and Russia to maintain its technological edge. Reuters The US government has introduced new regulations restricting AI chip exports to countries including China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, aiming to maintain its technological superiority and prevent adversaries from enhancing their military capabilities. Reuters. The US government has announced new regulations to restrict the export of artificial intelligence (AI) chips and technologies. The rules aim to maintain U.S. supremacy in AI by limiting exports except to close allies, and blocking access for China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. Despite outgoing President Biden's administration enforcing these controls, President-elect Donald Trump is expected to support similar measures. The regulations affect companies like Nvidia, AMD, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, impacting their shares and operations. Nvidia opposes the measures, calling them "sweeping overreach." The world's countries are divided into three tiers, with the top tier exempt from these rules, while the restrictions will limit the AI capabilities in less favored nations. The measures are part of an effort to control AI development globally and secure national security interests. Reuters
