AI Beauty Pageant, Eric Schmidt is Building Military Drones, and So Many Pikachus
Artificial intelligence briefing for your Monday morning.
Morning y’all!
It’s Monday and we’re kicking off another week of June! I’m feeling particularly refreshed and ready some action.
I hope you are too! The summer has begun, school’s out, and it’s time for more AI in your inbox (among other more important things).

Google has thoughts on the future of AI engineering:
Google has integrated AI into its internal software development tools, with developers now using AI-based code completion for 50% of code characters. It has improved both model accuracy and user experience, and the company plans to further leverage AI in areas like testing, code understanding, and code maintenance.
The industry as a whole is moving towards adding natural language as a common interface for software engineering tasks, like fixing bugs and writing new code.
The Austin government has guidance on the use of generative AI:
The standards document covers the many factors that public employees must take into consideration when using generative AI tools. Because any queries or prompts submitted become publicly available for AI training purposes, the standards spell out that any data used automatically becomes a record open to public information requests.
Sounds delightfully-boring. I wonder how anyone will manage the standards?
