The AI Daily Brief First Five - Monday May 20, 2024

Experimenting with format a smidge once again. LMK what you think.

The week after OpenAI Spring Update and Google I/O it’s Microsoft’s turn with their Build conference. Here’s what I’m watching for:

1) What's the centerpiece they try to get attention around? Will it be their rumored "AI Explorer" which is deeply integrated with Windows?

2) Do we see a new, even more AI-integrated Bing search experience? Google is pushing updated AI search and OpenAI has been rumored to be working on search.

3) How much do they tout their OpenAI partnership? There are lots of rumors of Microsoft moving away from OpenAI. Will we see more evidence of that?

4) Do they announced their own major LLM initiative that competes with GPT? They've acknowledged they have model work, but does it get bigger billing than they've been letting on?

5) How much emphasis do they put on AI hardware vs AI software? Microsoft is expected to tout the AI capabilities of their new Surface line. Is this a key centerpiece or a secondary announcement?
