HOW THE NEW YORK TIMES IS USING GENERATIVE AI AS A REPORTING TOOL

New York Times reporters used AI tools, particularly LLMs, to transcribe and analyze over 400 hours of audio for an investigation. Automated transcription significantly sped up the process, with LLMs identifying key themes and topics with improved accuracy. Human reporters were used to ensure the accurate interpretation and contextual understanding of the data, showing the importance of human-AI collaboration.

WAYMO EXPLORES USING GOOGLE'S GEMINI TO TRAIN ITS ROBOTAXIS

Waymo is leveraging Google's MLLM Gemini to develop an end-to-end multimodal model for autonomous driving called EMMA. The project aims to enhance decision-making in the company's robotaxis. EMMA will integrate sensor data for better trajectory prediction and object detection, indicating a shift towards using LLMs beyond common applications. Further research is required to refine and scale these models for autonomous driving tasks.
