Okay, let’s start this week by an eye-opening data fact

According to Replika CEO Eugenia Kuyda, the possibility of AI companions marrying their human counterparts might soon become a reality..

30 million users are already finding emotional support and companionship via text, voice, and AR/VR through the Replika app.

Would you be open to marrying an AI companion? Let me know your thoughts!

But more on this in a bit! Here are the top news in the AI space this week:

  • Sakana AI Unveils “The AI Scientist” But With a Twist

  • Replika's CEO Says Humans Might End Up Marrying Robots

  • Cosine’s New AI Engineer Breaks Coding Record

  • SingularityNET Launches Supercomputing Network for AGI

Hold onto your lab coats! Tokyo’s Sakana AI has just introduced “The AI Scientist,” an innovative AI system that autonomously conducts scientific research. This tech-savvy scientist doesn’t just generate new research ideas and write code but also runs its own experiments, pens scholarly papers, and even performs peer reviews, all with near-human precision.

What’s more, with a production cost of just $15 per paper, “The AI Scientist” could democratize the research landscape, making cutting-edge findings accessible to even the most budget-conscious institutions. Sakana AI envisions a future where not just the researchers but reviewers, area chairs, and conferences are driven by AI.

Replika CEO Eugenia Kuyda suggests that AI companions might soon be walking down the aisle with their human counterparts. With over 30 million users already enjoying emotional support and companionship through text, voice, and AR/VR, the Replika app is fast becoming the go-to platform for those seeking connection in a digital age. In fact, some users have even kindled romantic relationships with their AI companions, a trend Kuyda describes as just one “flavor” of AI companionship.

Looking ahead, the company is gearing up for a significant 2.0 update featuring more realistic avatars, enhanced voice and video interactions, and conversations that are even more lifelike. With OpenAI’s recent findings hinting at the possibility of people falling in love with AI voices, we’re left pondering whether “marrying” an AI is delusional or a harmless, potentially beneficial step towards enhancing human well-being.

Cosine has waved its digital wand, introducing Genie, an autonomous AI software engineer that smashed the previous high score on the SWE-Bench coding ability test for large language models (LLMs) by over 10%. Trained on a dataset that closely mirrors the way human software engineers operate—from incremental knowledge acquisition to methodical decision-making—Genie showcases a unique approach to AI training.

Unlike its foundational model predecessors, Genie doesn’t just learn; it iterates, re-plans, and re-executes until it gets the code just right, hitting a stunning 30.08% on the SWE-Bench. That’s a whopping 57% leap from previous champions like Amazon’s Q and Code Factory, and light years ahead of GPT-4’s 1.31%.

SingularityNET is set to unveil a global network of supercomputers this September, designed to advance the architectures needed for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Utilizing Nvidia GPUs and AMD processors, the initiative will feature a “multi-level cognitive computing network” supported by the open-source OpenCog Hyperon framework.

Access to the network is tokenized, inviting users to contribute and utilize a growing dataset. This effort aims to democratize data and accelerate the development of AI, AGI, and superintelligence. As AI giants like OpenAI and Google maintain a stronghold on AGI, SingularityNET’s decentralized strategy might just disrupt the status quo. It will be intriguing to see if open-source advocates, such as Meta, will collaborate in this new landscape.
