🚨FEATURE STORY

Anthropic Launches Its First Mobile App for Its Chatbot, Claude

Ever wished for AI expertise right at your fingertips? Anthropic’s latest innovation transforms this wish into reality with the launch of the Claude mobile app, marking a pivotal step in the accessibility of AI technology.

Claude's Leap into Portable AI

Known for its Claude 3 family of AI models, Anthropic has long been a key player in the AI landscape, offering cutting-edge solutions through its website and partnerships with tech giants like Amazon and Microsoft. Until now, Claude’s capabilities were tethered to desktop experiences, limiting the potential for on-the-go interactions.

Is it Risky or Simply the Future?

Moreover, the AI market is fiercely competitive, with major players like OpenAI and Google having already established their mobile apps for ChatGPT and Gemini, respectively. Smaller competitors like Perplexity AI have also already entered the scene with their own chatbot apps. Therefore, Anthropic's late entry into the market may raise questions about its ability to carve out a substantial niche.

Taking a bold step forward, Anthropic has unveiled the Claude iOS app, now freely available for download to all Claude users, with an Android version coming soon. This app offers a seamless experience mirroring the intuitive design of the mobile web version, allowing users to effortlessly sync their chat history and utilize features such as photo-taking and uploading.

Connecting AI with Everyday Living

It's worth noting that Anthropic has simultaneously launched a new tiered service plan specifically designed for business teams. This initiative focuses on collaborative and enterprise use-cases that are less saturated in the mobile AI market. Looking forward, Anthropic's foray into the mobile sphere exemplifies the direction AI companies are heading, reshaping how both professionals and casual users engage with AI (see Anthropic’s announcement here).

Microsoft Prohibits U.S. Law Enforcement from Using Their Facial Recognition AI

In a significant policy update, Microsoft now explicitly prohibits U.S. state or local police from utilizing its Azure OpenAI Service for the identification or verification of individual identities through facial recognition. Additionally, the new terms extend globally to any law enforcement, restricting the use of real-time facial recognition technologies on mobile devices such as body cameras and dashcams. This move follows concerns about potential misuses of AI, including racial biases and inaccuracies (see Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI policy).

Airbnb Integrates AI into Our Travel Experiences

As Airbnb advances in AI, it introduces innovative features including 'Icon,' offering extraordinary experiences like a night at the Ferrari museum or touring with musicians. Also, group booking allows travelers to create shared wishlists and communicate with each other and hosts through a unified messaging platform. Enhanced by AI, this system streamlines trip coordination by facilitating decision-making for group members (e.g., asking the AI chat for restaurant recommendations) and provides suggestions for hosts responding to queries (see Airbnb’s announcement).

Notable Figures, Including Dropbox CEO, Endorse Emerging Startup

Lamini, a startup enabling rapid development and management of AI models for companies, secures $25 million in funding from notable figures including Drew Houston, co-founder and CEO of Dropbox, and Andrew Ng, a global AI leader. The company plans to transform enterprise AI with its unique 'memory tuning' method, ensuring more precise models with fewer ‘hallucinations’. To prevent unauthorized access or data breaches, Lamini operates separately from external networks, such as the internet, overcoming industry challenges of security and scalability (see Lamini’s announcement).

Criticism Mounts Against EU's Plan to Scan Messages: Experts warn that the European Union's latest proposal requiring messaging apps to scan for child abuse material could lead to millions of false positives daily, risking privacy and cybersecurity across the continent (read the EU’s proposal here and an open letter against the proposal here).

A New AI Spokesperson for Ukraine? The internet has been set ablaze by Ukraine's introduction of Victoria Shi, the first-ever AI-generated diplomat, tasked with delivering official statements for its foreign ministry. However, further statements are needed to confirm whether Victoria's employment is genuine or if this is merely a hoax (read more here).

U.S. Agency Bans ChatGPT for Data Leak Risk: One year ago, the U.S. House restricted congressional use of ChatGPT. Following suit, the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is now taking steps to safeguard its data. As a ChatGPT replacement, the department is considering Microsoft Copilot or Google Gemini, as they are known for 'protecting data input by federal agencies' (see NARA’s announcement here).
