Meta, the parent company of Instagram, has introduced "Made with AI" labels to identify images created using artificial intelligence on its platforms. The move aims to address the growing number of AI-generated images online. However, a photo that was edited using Adobe Photoshop's Generative Fill tool, which is an AI-powered feature, was mistakenly labeled as having been made with AI. This has raised questions about the effectiveness and accuracy of the labeling system.

The company also released the LLM Benchmarking Framework, a tool that tests how LLMs respond to adversarial conditions and assesses their usability. This move is part of NetSPI's efforts to push the boundaries of innovation in artificial intelligence.

The acquisition, announced in April, was initially met with scrutiny over concerns that it would strengthen Nvidia's control over the market for graphics processing units (GPUs) used in AI-linked tasks. However, the European Commission concluded that the deal would not raise competition concerns and Run:ai plans to make its software open-source.
The European Commission approved Nvidia's $700 million bid for Run:ai, an Israeli company that helps developers optimize infrastructure for artificial intelligence. The deal was initially flagged as a potential threat to competition in the markets where the companies operate, but it ultimately received unconditional approval after Nvidia completed its acquisition of the firm.
The Federal Reserve's nearly 100-basis point cut in interest rates and a surge in technology stocks driven by anticipation of corporate profits from artificial intelligence have propelled equities to record highs in 2024. The tech, communications services, and consumer discretionary sectors have seen significant gains, with Nvidia's stock rising over 170% this year, contributing to its market value reaching $3 trillion. This growth has also helped Tesla regain a market value of $1 trillion.
