In today’s ExchangeWire news digest: Meta has revealed it will cut a further 10,000 jobs under “efficiency” measures; OpenAI launches GPT-4, a follow up of its popular ChatGPT chatbot; and Samsung plans to invest around ₩300tn (~£189.6bn) in South Korea over the next two decades.
Meta has said it will cut around 10,000 jobs over the coming months, indicating a second round of mass layoffs from the Facebook parent. In an email to staff sent on Tuesday (14th March), CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the company will also reduce hiring and cancel some projects as part of a “year of efficiency”.
OpenAI has released a successor to its popular ChatGPT. Dubbed GPT-4, the new AI chatbot can process and respond to images to write captions and descriptions. OpenAI states it spent six months developing GPT-4’s safety features and has trained the model to respond to human feedback, but warned the chatbot may still share some disinformation.
Samsung has announced plans to invest around ₩300tn (~£189.6bn) in South Korea over 20 years as its government pushes towards developing a major semiconductor hub in the country. According to a statement from South Korea’s Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, the nation plans to secure ₩500tn (~£314.5tn) in private-sector investments in order to "leap forward as a leading country in the middle of fierce global competition over advanced industries".
