Two of the world’s biggest asset managers are quitting Climate Action 100+, an investor group set up to prod companies over global warming.

Two of the world’s biggest asset managers are quitting an investor group set up to prod companies over global warming and a third is scaling back its participation, in a major setback to the ambitions of Climate Action 100+. JPMorgan Asset Management and State Street Global Advisors both confirmed they were leaving Climate Action 100+. BlackRock, the world’s largest money manager, is pulling out as a corporate member and transferring its participation to its smaller international arm. The departures weaken the climate group’s plan to use shareholder influence to step up pressure on polluting companies to decarbonise, because they mean that none of the world’s five largest asset managers are fully behind the effort. https://lnkd.in/eWcb-iPU Source: FT

ChatGPT will create a digital memory to help personalize its responses

OpenAI is adding a feature that will allow ChatGPT to remember both information about individual users and how they want the chatbot to respond to different types of queries. The feature is rolling out to a small number of free and paid ChatGPT Plus subscribers. OpenAI says the memory feature will be made available to business customers once the company is ready to broadly release the feature. An incognito-like mode will be available allowing people to conduct queries without drawing on memories. source : axios
