In this episode of Discover Daily by Perplexity, we explore groundbreaking AI achievements in mathematics, a new AI search engine, and efforts to combat technological cheating in sports.
Google DeepMind's AI systems, AlphaProof and AlphaGeometry 2, made history at the 2024 International Mathematical Olympiad, solving four out of six problems and earning a silver medal-level performance. This marks the first time an AI has reached the podium in this prestigious competition. We delve into the innovative approaches used by these AI models, including language processing, reinforcement learning, and neuro-symbolic techniques.
Next, we discuss OpenAI's unveiling of SearchGPT, a prototype AI-powered search engine designed to provide fast, timely answers with clear attribution to sources. This new service aims to challenge traditional search platforms and AI-driven competitors. We examine how SearchGPT combines AI models with real-time web information, its partnerships with major news organizations, and its potential impact on the search engine market dominated by Google.
Finally, we cover two important topics: efforts to combat "motor doping" in cycling at the Paris Olympics and the US Senate's unanimous passing of the DEFIANCE Act. Olympic officials are deploying advanced technology, including electromagnetic scanners and X-ray imaging, to detect hidden electric motors in bicycles. The DEFIANCE Act aims to combat nonconsensual deepfake pornography by allowing victims to sue creators, distributors, and recipients of AI-generated sexually explicit content using their likeness. We explore the implications of these developments and their potential impact on sports integrity and digital privacy.
