Oreo, Cadbury, Unilever & other Big Companies use Generative AI to create Advertisements

Large advertising agencies like WPP and multinational corporations such as Unilever are turning to generative AI to reduce marketing costs and create more advertisements.
Companies like Nestlé and Mondelez, associated with WPP, have used OpenAI's DALL-E 2 to produce ads, including one for Cadbury featuring an AI-generated video with Shah Rukh Khan in India.
WPP's CEO stated that savings from generative AI could be significant, potentially 10 to 20 times the current costs.
Major AI companies have collaborated with the White House to develop watermarking technology for labelling content produced using AI tools, which could apply to AI-generated ads.

AI2 Dolma, an open dataset of 3 trillion tokens, is available for pre-training Large Language Models

Language models like GPT-4 and Claude are powerful but their training data is closely guarded.
The research group plans an open language model (OLMo) called Dolma, using a dataset of the same name.
Dolma aims to be the foundation for OLMo and will be freely accessible and modifiable for the AI research community.
Dolma is a large dataset (3 billion tokens) and focuses on ease of use and permissions.
The dataset operates under the "ImpACT license for medium-risk artifacts," with specific terms for usage and distribution. Read More..
