TOP STORY

Audi Integrates ChatGPT for Enhanced Voice-Control System

Audi is integrating ChatGPT into its in-car voice-control systems, enhancing the driving experience with natural and interactive conversations. Starting in July, around 2 million Audi cars with the MIB3 system will feature ChatGPT, with future models, including the Audi Q6 e-tron, also benefiting.

Facilitated by Cerence’s Chat Pro solution, this integration allows users to control infotainment, navigation, and air-conditioning systems, and ask general knowledge questions, all through natural language. Audi claims this will improve safety as drivers can request information without taking their eyes off the road.

The Audi assistant, activated by saying “Hey Audi” or pressing a button, ensures security by deleting questions and answers immediately. As ChatGPT evolves, it will provide more detailed vehicle information, such as correct tire pressures, further enhancing the in-cabin experience.

FIGMA AND AI ISSUE

Figma Disables AI Design Feature Over Copying Concerns

Figma has temporarily disabled its “Make Design” AI feature following accusations that it replicated Apple's Weather app designs. The issue was highlighted by Andy Allen, founder of NotBoring Software, who noticed the tool produced designs resembling Apple's app. Despite Figma CEO Dylan Field denying the tool was trained on existing app designs, the feature was suspended for a quality assurance review.

The "Make Design" feature generates UI layouts from text prompts, aiding developers in quickly drafting design ideas. However, concerns arose about potential copyright infringement and the integrity of AI-generated content. Field acknowledged the oversight and committed to improving the feature's design systems.

Figma aims to ensure "Make Design" can provide unique and reliable design assistance without legal issues before reactivating it. This move is part of Figma’s broader effort to maintain trust and originality in its AI-driven design tools.
