OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is considering options to shift away from its reliance on Nvidia for its artificial intelligence chips. These potential alternatives may include other vendors or even its own in-house chips, as reported by Reuters. This decision mirrors those of tech giants Google, Amazon, and Meta, who have all sought alternatives in light of Nvidia’s dominating market share in the AI chips sectors.
In a separate development, Legaltech News has been investigating the practical utilisation of generative AI in the legal sector. The report suggests that AI has been pivotal in managing unstructured data and expediting certain processes within in-house teams. However, gaining the enthusiasm of company leadership is crucial for successful implementation. Legal firms have focused on integrating AI into their current workflows, with an emphasis on risk management. Some have suggested that AI could potentially make legal language more accessible to non-legal professionals.
Eleven global law firms, including Norton Rose, Hogan Lovells, and Perkins Coie, have partnered with professional development company SkillBurst Interactive to gain early access to AI training modules.

Meanwhile, Věra Jourová, the European Commission Vice President for Values and Transparency, has urged European Union lawmakers to avoid overly restrictive regulations when legislating AI-based technology, according to the Financial Times.
In another incident highlighting the complex intertwining of AI and personal rights, Tom Hanks has warned fans about a company that used an AI-generated likeness of him for promotional purposes.
