A Daily Chronicle of AI Innovations on March 10th 2025
Chinese AI agent Manus AI is challenging OpenAI, particularly in autonomous task execution.Stanford has made a breakthrough using AI to target obesity treatment, potentially reducing side effects. Microsoft is exploring alternative AI partnerships to reduce dependence on OpenAI, signalling growing competition. Furthermore, AI is impacting various sectors, from religious services and dating apps, to wildlife identification, as well as raising questions about labour practices and ethical oversight in the field.
🚀Manus AI vs OpenAI's GPT operator
Manus AI, China's fully autonomous AI agent, is being compared against OpenAI’s GPT Operator in terms of reasoning, adaptability, and real-world applications.
Who is winning the autonomous execution race?
Manus AI: The Powerhouse
Autonomous Execution: Manus AI takes the lead with its ability to execute tasks independently, from report writing to website deployment
Web Navigation: It seamlessly browses live web pages and creates downloadable files, hosting outputs on URLs
Multi-Modal Capabilities: Integrates text, image, and code processing for complex tasks
ChatGPT Operator: The Assistant
Provides suggestions rather than autonomously completing tasks, which can be limiting for complex workflows
Offers slower web navigation with occasional platform access issues
Choose Your Tool Wisely
Manus AI is ideal for users seeking autonomous execution and advanced tool integration
ChatGPT Operator is better suited for simpler browser-based tasks
What this means: As AI agents become more autonomous, the competition between Western and Chinese AI models is heating up, raising questions about efficiency, security, and global AI leadership. [Listen] [2025/03/10]
⚕️ Stanford AI’s Obesity Treatment Breakthrough
BRP targets specific brain regions instead of affecting multiple organs, potentially avoiding common Ozempic side effects like nausea and muscle loss.
In animal tests, a single dose of BRP cut food intake by half in both mice and minipigs, with obese mice losing significant fat over two weeks of treatment.
Stanford's "Peptide Predictor" AI system sifted through 20,000 human genes, analyzing thousands of potential candidates, to find the natural molecule.
A company has already been created to begin human trials, with researcher Katrin Svensson suggesting that BRP could revolutionize weight loss treatment.
Stanford researchers have developed an AI-driven approach to obesity treatment that personalizes weight loss strategies based on metabolic data and behavioral analysis.
What this means: AI is revolutionizing healthcare by offering precise, individualized treatment plans, potentially improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. [Listen] [2025/03/10]
🧠 Ex-OpenAI Scientist’s New Path to ASI
A former OpenAI researcher has launched a new AI initiative focused on achieving artificial superintelligence (ASI) while addressing safety and alignment challenges.
Sutskever reportedly told investors he has identified a completely new direction for AI development, describing it as “a different mountain to climb.”
According to the Wall Street Journal, SSI is in talks for funding at a valuation of $30B, despite having no revenue or public-facing product.
The company is not planning to release any commercial products prior to achieving superintelligence and operates leanly with just 20 employees.
Sutskever departed OpenAI in the months following the Nov. 2023 ouster of Sam Altman, later saying he “regretted his participation” in the board’s actions.
What this means: ASI could surpass human intelligence in all domains, raising ethical and existential concerns about control, safety, and the future of human-AI collaboration. [Listen] [2025/03/10]
💻 Microsoft Looking to Move Beyond OpenAI
Microsoft is reportedly exploring alternative AI partnerships and developing in-house AI capabilities to reduce its reliance on OpenAI.
The new MAI models reportedly match top offerings from OpenAI and Anthropic, with the company planning to offer them through Azure.
They are being tested as replacements for OpenAI's tech in Copilot while also experimenting with alternatives from xAI, Meta, and DeepSeek.
Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman reportedly grew frustrated last fall with OpenAI’s refusal to share the inner workings of its o1 reasoning model.
OpenAI also renegotiated a deal in January with Microsoft, allowing for the use of other server providers, adding to growing tension between the companies.
What this means: The AI landscape is shifting as tech giants race to develop their own models, signaling increased competition and diversification in AI research and development. [Listen] [2025/03/10]
⛪ What One Finnish Church Learned from Creating a Service Almost Entirely with AI
A church in Finland conducted an experimental service using AI-generated prayers, hymns, and sermons, exploring the role of artificial intelligence in religious practices.
What this means: The use of AI in religious settings raises ethical and theological questions about authenticity, spirituality, and the intersection of technology and faith. [Listen] [2025/03/10]
❤️ AI ‘Wingmen’ Bots to Write Profiles and Flirt on Dating Apps
AI-powered chatbots are being used to create dating profiles and engage in flirtatious conversations, changing how people connect online.
What this means: While AI may help users craft compelling messages, it also raises concerns about authenticity and deception in online dating. [Listen] [2025/03/10]
🏥 WHO Announces New Collaborating Centre on AI for Health Governance
The World Health Organization establishes a global initiative focused on the responsible use of AI in healthcare.
What this means: AI is transforming healthcare, but regulatory frameworks must ensure safety, effectiveness, and ethical considerations in medical AI applications. [Listen] [2025/03/10]
⚖️ Scale AI Is Being Investigated by the US Department of Labor
The AI data-labeling giant faces scrutiny over labor practices and worker treatment, raising concerns about employment conditions in the AI industry.
What this means: As AI companies grow, regulatory bodies are closely examining labor policies, fair wages, and ethical treatment of workers in AI data labeling. [Listen] [2025/03/10]
🌿 Google Releases SpeciesNet, an AI Model for Wildlife Identification
Google has introduced SpeciesNet, an advanced AI model designed to identify and classify wildlife species from images and videos, enhancing conservation efforts and biodiversity research.
What this means: AI is increasingly being used in ecological research, helping scientists track endangered species, detect habitat changes, and support conservation initiatives with real-time analysis. [Listen] [2025/03/10]
