Microsoft to offer copyright protection

One major hurdle in widespread adoption of AI is the fear of copyright infringements by using output of AI models.

In a bold move, Microsoft announced it will assume legal liability for any copyright infringement lawsuits on customers using Co-pilot, it’s AI code-generation tool.

But before you start copy-pasting AI-generated code, Microsoft may assume liability but an infringer can still be sued separately!

eBay’s new AI tool to create Product Listings

Creating product listing is a lengthy process, from taking photos to creating a catchy headline and product description. eBay launched a new AI tool to automatically create the entire listing using just the photo.

The tool, unofficially dubbed “photo-to-listing AI”, can generate - title, description, product release date, and suggests category, subcategory, list price, and even the shipping cost!

This greatly simplifies the listing process, but it’s a good idea to double-check the output since it may include inaccurate information.

Retool’s low-code AI Integration

Retool’s low-code software platform, allows businesses to build internal-tooling pages and integrations quickly.

The $3.2 billion startup launched a new feature that allows you to integrate AI in your apps within minutes!

Retool allows you to use any AI model and vector database, and chains together business logic and data connectors, enabling you to quickly build AI apps!
