💼 LinkedIn unveils an AI-driven career coaching feature

LinkedIn might not be the first name that comes to mind for tech innovation, but it's been dabbling in LLMs since 2007. This isn't surprising, given that LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft, a front-runner in the quest for AGI.

Much of LinkedIn's AI operates behind the scenes, curating content and suggesting professional connections. However, LinkedIn has gradually introduced more AI tools directly to users. In 2023, features like AI-driven smart replies and resume assistance were launched. Now, it's taking it a step further with several new AI-powered tools, some exclusive to Premium users.

The new features include:

• AI coaches that provide personalized feedback based on real-life career experts.
• AI-generated cover letters and resumes tailored to specific job roles.
• Enhanced search capabilities for easier access to colleagues or companies.
• A tool for recruiters to reach more candidates with AI-crafted messages.

This advancement raises the question: How much AI assistance is too much? With LinkedIn's tools, you can now create an entire resume and cover letter. Some HR professionals worry this will lead to a flood of AI-generated applications. Meanwhile, recruiters are already leveraging AI for applicant screening and virtual interviews. Candidates are asking: Why shouldn't we use AI to improve our resumes and pitches?

Finding the right balance is key. An entirely AI-crafted resume might not land you the job, but AI can help articulate your skills, correct grammatical errors, and offer professional tips. This is especially beneficial for job-seekers who can't afford expensive career coaching.

🎥 AI Video: Entertainment and practical applications

AI-generated videos have dramatically improved since the era of the indistinct, blurry clip of Will Smith eating spaghetti (check out this video).

In those days, the top text-to-video model was Gen-2 by Runway, which was, to say the least, quite rudimentary.

AI video is currently experiencing its DALL·E 3 moment, meaning it's finally reaching a high level of quality.

First, Pika emerged, raising $80M. Google introduced Veo, followed by OpenAI's Sora. Recently, we saw the launch of Kling, the Chinese version of Sora, and Dream Machine by Luma AI.

Yesterday, Runway made a comeback with Gen-3 Alpha, its latest video model. This version excels in creating detailed scenes, maintaining consistent characters, and producing more lifelike faces, such as this bald man getting a new set of hair:

Three key highlights about Gen-3 Alpha:

• Upcoming Access: You and I will get to try it in the next few days.
• Versatile Capabilities: It's more than just a text-to-video model—it enables the creation of videos from images and images from text. Plus, it allows you to tweak videos within its creative suite (similar video editing capabilities were announced by Luma yesterday).
• Entertainment Industry Focus: The model is being tailored for entertainment firms to offer "more stylistically controlled and consistent characters, and target specific artistic and narrative requirements." We wonder who they are collaborating with... Disney? Pixar? DreamWorks?

Additionally, music for these AI videos is on the horizon. Yesterday, Google DeepMind showcased a tech called V2A (video-to-audio) that can add sound effects to videos just by watching them—check it out here.

In related news, TikTok unveiled a suite of AI tools called TikTok Symphony to enhance video creation. This includes:

• A chatbot assistant to help brainstorm ideas, find trends, and implement best practices.
• A tool that turns your product assets into a complete TikTok video (these will be labeled as AI-generated).
• Options include dubbing these videos in 10+ languages, adding stock avatars of real paid actors, or creating custom avatars.
• A range of new AI features to optimize video ads, such as generating engaging scripts, subtitles, and voiceovers for your videos.

💊 An AI model aiding researchers in uncovering ancient medicines

Significant research has been dedicated to creating synthetic drugs. However, scientists at the Colorado startup Enveda Biosciences believe that potentially life-saving compounds are hiding in plain sight within the natural environment. Astonishingly, 95% of the natural world's chemical makeup remains unexplored.

While developing a database of 38,000 medicinal compounds, they discovered that drug discovery is deeply linked to our history. Different cultures around the world have independently found similar cures for various ailments.

According to TechCrunch, about 40% of today’s medicines are derived from ancient practices. Enveda, however, believes there are many more to be discovered and is leveraging AI to uncover them.

Here's how it works:

• Enveda goes beyond a typical drug list. It ventures into the past, detailing the time-tested, traditional uses associated with each drug. Gain a richer understanding of these medications.
• This isn't your average data analysis. An AI model sifts through the data, identifying molecules with the most research potential. It even predicts which ailments each compound might be best suited to tackle.
• Microsoft and the non-profit Nature Conservancy are among the investors who contributed $55 million to Enveda's latest funding round. Two of its drugs are set to enter clinical trials later this year. Early signs are encouraging!
