Crypto Protocol Fetch.ai Offering AI Trading Tools for Decentralized Exchanges
Fetch.ai, a UK-based firm that develops artificial intelligence tools for crypto, is launching a set of enhanced trading products for decentralized exchanges (DEX). The platform will use AI-powered "agents" to execute trades based on user-defined parameters and facilitate peer-to-peer transactions between decentralized finance (DeFi) users. The agents employ their own smart contracts to carry out users' instructions, reducing the risk of a central smart contract being exploited by hackers. Fetch.ai's approach aims to increase DeFi adoption by addressing security concerns surrounding DEXs, where nearly $120 million in crypto had been stolen in 2022 across 19 different breaches, according to analytics firm Crystal Blockchain.
Environmental Impact of AI Models Takes Center Stage Amid Criticism Against Bitcoin Mining
Recent reports and academic papers have criticized the carbon footprint of artificial intelligence (AI) software, including OpenAI's Chatgpt program. Bloomberg reported that AI uses more energy than other forms of computing, with a single AI model consuming more electricity than 100 US homes in a year. Meanwhile, an academic paper cited by the University of Colorado Riverside and the University of Texas Arlington claims that Chatgpt uses a lot of electricity and water to cool data centers. However, not everyone agrees with these studies and alarming headlines, with some arguing that climate alarmism is a lie. The Gatestone Institute, for example, claims that climate alarmism is harmful to the West. While bitcoin provides economic freedom as a censorship-resistant currency, it, too, has faced scrutiny over its environmental impact, with some arguing that it must address climate change concerns.

DOJ Lawyer Accuses Google of Suppressing AI Innovation through Monopolizing Market
The top lawyer representing the U.S. DOJ in its antitrust case against Google has accused the tech giant of stifling AI innovation through monopolizing the search market via exclusivity deals. Google is alleged to have violated federal antitrust laws by having deals with clients like Apple to preload its search engine on devices and browsers. The DOJ is expected to give its verdict this summer. Kenneth Dintzer argued that the exclusivity deals should have been terminated the moment Google gained its monopoly, as Google pays billions to Apple every year to give it a competitive edge as the default search engine on the Safari web browser. In court, Dintzer questioned if AI innovation would have been stifled if Google had not maintained its monopoly. The report also mentions the AI chatbot ChatGPT, which has been at the forefront of conversations about AI development, although it has not been without controversy.

Universal Music Group Tells Streaming Services to Block AI-Generated Music
Universal Music Group (UMG) has asked streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music to block AI services from harvesting melodies and lyrics from copyrighted songs. UMG has reportedly been sending out requests to take down AI-generated songs that have been popping up on streaming services with increased frequency. Developers have used music catalogs on streaming platforms to train AI technology, but UMG has become increasingly concerned about AI bots using intellectual property to produce music identical to actual artists. A source close to the situation said that the next generation of technology emerging poses significant issues. Google has also announced its own machine-learning music apparatus called MusicLM, which will be able to generate "high-fidelity music from text descriptions."
Elon Musk Reportedly Buys Thousands of GPUs for Twitter AI Project
Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, Tesla, and Twitter, has reportedly purchased nearly 10,000 graphics processing units (GPUs) for an artificial intelligence (AI) project at Twitter, according to anonymous sources familiar with the company. The sources said the project is in its early stages and works with a large language model (LLM), but the definite role of generative AI at Twitter is still not totally clear. Musk has previously expressed concerns about the risks of AI and recently signed an open letter with thousands of other researchers in the tech space to temporarily halt the development of AI due to risk for humanity.
Chinese Authorities to Enforce Security Reviews for AI Services
China's internet regulator, the Cyberspace Administration of China, has announced that it will enforce mandatory reviews of generative AI services prior to their public operation. The providers of AI services must ensure that all content is accurate, respects intellectual property, and does not discriminate or endanger security. Additionally, all AI-generated content must be clearly labeled as such. This announcement follows Baidu's unveiling of its new AI chatbot, ERNIE, which is built off of an AI-based deep learning model. Governments around the world are grappling with how to handle the rise of AI services, with Japan showing support for OpenAI's ChatGPT and the US President urging tech firms to consider the risks of AI to society, national security, and the economy. Meanwhile, Italy has placed a temporary ban on ChatGPT following a data breach on the platform, and OpenAI is facing a privacy probe in Canada after allegations of harvesting personal information.
