OpenAI's chatbot has upended teaching, writing, technology, and many other sectors since its arrival in November. This week, Meta announced the launch of Llama 2, a huge new AI model, through a partnership with Microsoft. Early impressions suggest Llama 2 stacks up pretty evenly against ChatGPT.

Microsoft and Nuance are planning to roll out a version of their Dragon Ambient eXperience (DAX) app that is fully automated and incorporates GPT-4. The software promises to generate notes in seconds but accuracy, liability and even issues like how the note gets formatted may make some doctors hesitate.

But the real question for success is: will doctors cede control to imperfect machines to get a few minutes of their lives back?

Amazon's core e-commerce business may be struggling - but the profit-making parts of its business are delivering. Online sales were flat in the first three months of the year compared with the same period in 2022, the company said on Thursday. But it offset that with better-than-expected sales in its cloud services and advertising units. Profits also jumped in a sign that the firm's cost-cutting drive may be starting to pay off. Since taking the reins last year, Andy Jassy has been pushing the firm to improve its performance, winding down some programmes, halting real estate expansion plans, overhauling its delivery network in the US and announcing thousands of job cuts.

In February this year, Disney announced that it will lay off 7,000 employees as part of a larger reorganisation and savings drive. The entertainment conglomerate has now begun its second wave of layoffs which is said to bring a total job count to 4,000.
