The Education Minister @paulgivan visited @Microsoft Dream Space @W5Belfast a stem-based learning programme offering free educational experiences for schools and teachers. Its aim is to deliver and drive STEM skilling, particularly in the areas of computer science, Artificial Intelligence and robotics. The Minister heard about a new pilot by Microsoft, @Ed_Authority and @UlsterUni looking at the potential of AI in educational settings. He met representatives from Microsoft, the Odyssey Trust, the EA and teachers helping with the pilot. He also met pupils from St Mary’s and Killowen Primary Schools who were using the facilities at Dream Space.

We are now having full conversations with Figure 01, thanks to our partnership with OpenAI. Our robot can: - describe its visual experience - plan future actions - reflect on its memory - explain its reasoning verbally Technical deep-dive 🧵:

A real pleasure to participate in the Zero Day Conference this morning at @TheCCD. Given the increasing demand for cyber skills and the lack of available resources there’s a real opportunity to leverage #GenAI to help plug the gap. #zdc24

Great panel session (if I do say so myself!) at @PwCIreland on the EU #AIAct. I was delighted to describe how Microsoft builds its products using our #ResponsibleAI Principles and Standard and outline some best practices for compliance. Thanks very much for inviting me along!

OpenAI is building its AI into humanoid robots. The company just invested in Figure and signed a collaboration agreement to develop next-generation AI models for robots. Embodied AI is coming in 2024. But there's more: Figure also raised $675M at a whopping $2.6B valuation (while only being founded in 2022!) On top of OpenAI, new investors include Jeff Bezos, NVIDIA, Microsoft, Intel, OpenAI, and more.
