We are in ChatGPT’s birthday month …

… so it only makes sense that Collins Dictionary announced this week that AI is their [word of the year.](https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-67271252)

## The latest:

1. Last week we learned that President Biden was going to announce an executive order around AI. [This week we learned what that entails.](https://www.marketingaiinstitute.com/blog/biden-ai-executive-order?utm_medium=email&_hsmi=280601314&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-84h9KaDBiSy85jd_FhlUIg_Nqo2A_69zQoyopUOpRxeN9VhGTTbLdzNfPV8Sny6gRCzfQIPikhWVVMptuwEWVEiKpoVA&utm_content=280601314&utm_source=hs_email)
2. Trick or Treat? Treats! [Microsoft is giving out Windows updates](https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/windows-11-23h2-update/) (in other words, Copilot is here).
3. Trick or Treat? Tricks! [Hackers are weaponizing AI to use in phishing attacks.](https://themessenger.com/tech/hackers-artificial-intelligence-phishing-scams-attacks?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email)
4. Want to read an article about AI that explains how we got here, gives you a peek into the future and is just really enjoyable? [This MIT interview with Ilya Sutskever](https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/10/26/1082398/exclusive-ilya-sutskever-openais-chief-scientist-on-his-hopes-and-fears-for-the-future-of-ai/), OpenAI’s chief scientist, checks all of those boxes.
5. Not sure how I missed this, but if you’re curious on [how AI will disrupt search traffic](https://www.insightpartners.com/ideas/generative-ai-seo-zero-click-searches/?utm_medium=email&_hsmi=280601314&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_qn1EJBYfnQptJhPcQw3xaLL90USyhFUJdOTw0wzu9mAkKu0Do2HCI3Xr6fnB4dN55ieeMY2Ukcuv3dBaSG4iZ3IdJFw&utm_content=280601314&utm_source=hs_email), this is a solid read.
6. OpenAI has formed a team to [study catastrophic risks](https://techcrunch.com/2023/10/26/openai-forms-team-to-study-catastrophic-risks-including-nuclear-threats/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&guccounter=1). And we’re not talking about the fallout from a Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce breakup.
7. Don’t want your company using AI? No problem. But you can’t stop your customers. So you should be asking, [“What does this mean for my engagement with our customers?"](https://chiefexecutive.net/gen-ai-adoption-focus-on-the-customer/)
8. It’s a little early, given how fast AI moves, but [here is *Forbes's* take on the top five AI trends of 2024.](https://www.forbes.com/sites/bernardmarr/2023/11/01/the-top-5-artificial-intelligence-trends-for-2024/?sh=5987fb442c34)

As a reminder, this is a roundup of the biggest stories, often hitting multiple newsletters I receive/review. The sources are many … which I’m happy to read on your behalf. If there’s one you’d like me to track or have questions about a topic you’re not seeing here, let me know.
