World’s first AI powered grill 🥩

Welcome to Daily Zaps — Here’s what we got for you today: 🙌

World’s first AI powered grill

The Seergrills Perfecta, unveiled at CES 2024, is the "world's first AI powered grill," a marked contrast to traditional grilling methods. Priced at $3,500 (with a $1,000 pre-order discount), it features innovative technology like dual vertical infrared burners, achieving temperatures up to 1,652° F for 360° cooking without flipping the food. This allows it to cook a ribeye steak in 90 seconds and chicken breasts in 2.5 minutes.

Its AI utilizes a quad-core processor and smart sensors to measure food thickness and temperature, adjusting cooking settings via a touchscreen interface. The Perfecta also has an app for setting preferences and rating meals, aiding the AI's learning process.

PennsylvaniaGPT

Pennsylvania has become the first state to implement ChatGPT Enterprise, as announced by Governor Josh Shapiro. This pilot program, a collaboration with OpenAI, will see state employees using ChatGPT Enterprise to assist in various tasks such as creating and editing copy, updating policy language, drafting job descriptions, and generating code. This initiative aims to leverage the advantages of generative AI while addressing potential risks.

The tool will be initially used by a select group of government employees, with plans to expand its use across different sectors of the state government. However, the program is designed so that citizens won't interact directly with ChatGPT. The partnership with OpenAI is expected to provide insights into how AI tools can responsibly improve state services.

Robot made burgers and fries

Pasadena, CA is set to welcome the world's first fully autonomous AI-powered restaurant, CaliExpress by Flippy.

Federal Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Act of 2023

The Federal Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Act of 2023 addresses the potential benefits and risks of AI in the U.S. AI technologies hold promise for advancements in healthcare, education, transportation, and government efficiency.

Many agencies use AI for various purposes, and ensuring adherence to best practices is vital for reducing risks and increasing public trust. The act proposes measures such as requiring agencies to integrate the the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) developed an AI Risk Management Framework (RMF) into their AI risk management strategies, establishing a diverse federal AI workforce, and ensuring AI system acquisitions incorporate the RMF.
