APPETIZER

OpenAI expands to Ireland 🤖 🇮🇪

OpenAI opens a new office in Dublin, Ireland. It aims to work with the Irish government, industries, startups, and academic institutions.

ChatGPT, where’s Nessie?

Bonnie banks and braes:

1/ OpenAI’s Dublin team will concentrate on operations, trust and safety, go-to-market strategies, security engineering, and legal tasks.

2/ They are collaborating Patch, a startup accelerator for young Irish entrepreneurs, to provide AI education and mentorship to Irish students.

3/ Sam Altman claims Ireland blends a talented workforce with support for innovation and responsible business growth.

Our take: OpenAI’s first European office launched in London earlier this summer.

More on that, here.

Is this Ireland expansion really about its workforce as Sam Altman claims, a play to get in good with the EU regulators, or simply part of a corporate tax scheme? Time will tell.

MAIN COURSE

Amazon’s AI seller tools 🤑 💵

Amazon introduced new AI tools for third-party sellers. They use AI to create product titles, descriptions, catalog content, and more.

More AI is always better.

These were unveiled at Amazon’s Accelerate 2023 seller conference.

Nice, Bezos:

1/ You provide a brief product summary, and Amazon’s AI delivers optimized titles and listings.

2/ You can publish the AI-generated content with or without modifications.

3/ Amazon Vice President, Robert Tekiela, sees this as a way to provide richer product knowledge at scale.

Our take: On September 7, eBay released its “Magical” AI tool with similar features for sellers. Coincidence? Probably not.

Those juicy deets, here.

A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA

Anthropic and BCG’s partnership 👫 ❤️

Anthropic and Boston Consulting Group (BCG) teamed up. The goal — give BCG clients direct access to Anthropic’s AI assistant, Claude.

Love is in the air.

Lovey-dovey:

1/ BCG plans to use Claude for strategic AI offerings and advising on responsible AI adoption.

2/ Potential use cases are knowledge management, business analysis, and process automation.

3/ Both companies hosted a UN workshop on the opportunities and risks of AI.

Our take: Major consulting firms are on an AI spending spree, and the AI partnerships are in full swing. Salesforce and Databricks announced a partnership on September 11.

We covered that, here.
