SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 16 (Reuters) - OpenAI, whose generative AI products initially raised fears of widespread cheating on homework, is now exploring how it can get its popular ChatGPT chatbot into classrooms, according to a senior executive. Backed by billions of dollars from Microsoft (MSFT.O), OpenAI kicked off the generative AI craze last November by releasing its ChatGPT chatbot, which became one of the world's fastest-growing applications. But within a few months, teachers started seeing how ChatGPT could be beneficial, he said. A new team at OpenAI would be an extension of the work the company has already done to integrate its technology into the classroom. There are myriad ways to use ChatGPT in classrooms, said Andrew Mayne, a former OpenAI employee who works with educators through his AI consulting firm Interdimensional.

Eric Schmidt, former CEO and Chairman, Google, speaks during the Milken Institute Global Conference in Beverly Hills, California on May 2, 2023. Misinformation around the 2024 election will be rampant as new tools have made advanced artificial intelligence more accessible, according to Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google who co-founded Schmidt Futures. "The 2024 elections are going to be a mess because social media is not protecting us from false generated AI," Schmidt told Andrew Ross Sorkin on CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Monday. Asked about the policy change, Schmidt said that social media should allow for "free speech for humans, not computers." "What social media should do is mark all the content, know who the users are, and hold people accountable if they violate the law," Schmidt said.

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt said AI could have as big of an effect on warfare as nuclear weapons did. Schmidt told Wired that the US military must deploy AI tools in combat to compete with world powers. AI could be what is needed to lead that change, Schmidt told Wired. In fact, AI technology — drones with sensors, for example — may be just as impactful as nuclear weapons when it comes to changing the state of warfare, he said. Technologies like Istari can be used to build a stronger US military that can out-compete forces in countries like China, Schmidt told Wired.
