On today’s news digest: Nvidia Reveals Latest AI Chip; Meta Offers to Reduce Subscription Fees Under EU Privacy Review; YouTube Now Requiring Realistic AI Content Disclosure
On Monday, Nvidia revealed its latest AI chip, the Blackwell B200 GPU. Named the world’s most powerful chip for AI, it also reduces cost and energy consumption by 25 times that of an H100 – the Nvidia chip which turned the AI giant into a multi trillion dollar company. Nvidia explained that one of its key improvements is a second generation transformer engine which doubles the compute, bandwidth, and model size.
Following discussions with EU privacy regulators, Meta has offered to almost halve the monthly fees for its platforms’ ad-free subscription plans. Currently, the only way users in the EU are able to avoid the company’s tracking and profiling is through its paid subscriptions. Under the suggested price drop, monthly subscription prices would be reduced from €9.99 (£8.54) to €5.99 (£5.12), Meta’s lawyer told the European Commission. Meta now awaits feedback from the Irish Data Protection Commission, the lead data protection regulator in the EU.
Staying in the orbit of social platforms, YouTube is now requiring creators to disclose realistic content made with AI. Realistic looking content includes any in which a viewer could easily mistake altered or synthetic media for a real person, place, or event. Nothing will need to be disclosed on content which is obviously unrealistic or animated, including special effects or the use of generative AI for production assistance (such as script generation, content ideas or automatic captions). No disclosure will be required either for AI-produced changes which are ‘inconsequential’.
