System in Motion - Blog - Technology for all

In the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence, the competition to release the most advanced AI model is fierce and unrelenting. Just this year, we’ve witnessed a flurry of groundbreaking releases: Meta’s Llama 3.1 on July 25, OpenAI’s GPT-4o-mini on July 18, SenseTime’s Sensenova 5.5 at the WAIC on July 9, Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 on July 21, and OpenAI’s GPT-4o on May 13. Each announcement has been met with fanfare, promising more capabilities, faster processing, and smarter interactions than ever before. However, the crown for the best AI model is a fleeting honor, with new contenders constantly emerging.

Considering a new brand to better represent our AI expertise, we plan to depart from our decade-old, generic ‘System in Motion’ name. We will use generative AI to suggest unique, protectable brand names.

In the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence (AI), companies are aggressively pushing the boundaries of what machines can do, often at the expense of privacy and ethical considerations. Central to this relentless pursuit is the way AI models are trained, using vast amounts of data, sometimes dubiously acquired, to refine their algorithms and enhance their capabilities. This process, while technologically impressive, raises significant concerns about the implications for copyright laws and business practices.

Considering a new brand to better represent our AI expertise, we plan to depart from our decade-old, generic ‘System in Motion’ name. We will use generative AI to suggest unique, protectable brand names.

In a significant shift in its technological strategy, McDonald’s has officially announced the termination of its AI-driven drive-thru ordering system , a project in collaboration with IBM started in 2021. McDonald’s “told franchisees that it’s winding down an AI drive-thru ordering partnership with IBM no later than July 26th, 2024,” McDonald’s stated. This decision will lead to the removal of the technology from over 100 restaurants where the system was being tested. McDonald’s, in its official statement, did not clarify the decision process or metrics used to stop the initiative. It did not even comment on the fact that it was a failure, or a partial success. But consumers tell a different story.
