🥟 Chao-Down #111 The biggest meme in AI, EU's largest consumer group calls for "urgent investigations into the risks of generative AI", AT&T launches in-house ChatGPT tool with Microsoft

Continuing the theme from the past couple editions of Chao-Downs, I’ve been sharing my experiences attending UC Berkeley’s AI hackathon from the past weekend. This time, I went around asking people what they built during CalHacks as well as what they view the biggest challenge in creating an AI application.

You’ll want to hear the tangible experiences of those building the future. Check it out!
