☆ Bill Gates says A.I. chatbots will teach kids to read within 18 months: You'll be 'stunned by how it helps'
  + stars: | 2023-04-22 | by ( Tom Huddleston Jr. | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
That's according to billionaire Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, who says AI chatbots are on track to help children learn to read and hone their writing skills in 18 months time. AI chatbots, like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard, have developed rapidly over the past several months, and can now compete with human-level intelligence on certain standardized tests. But AI chatbots' ability to recognize and recreate human-like language changes that dynamic, proponents say. And AI technology must improve at reading and recreating human language to better motivate students before it can become a viable tutor, Gates said. Gates said he regularly asks Microsoft AI developers why chatbots can't perform relatively simple calculations, or even multiply some numbers.
☆ How ChatGPT and generative A.I. are already changing the way we book trips and travel
  + stars: | 2023-04-22 | by ( Trevor Laurence Jockims | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +8 min
Already, generative AI is being experimented with inside the travel sector, albeit with mixed results. "Travel is fundamentally about connecting people and communities, and that human connection will always play a crucial role in the travel experience," Fogel said. It described ChatGPT "as a virtual travel assistant," allowing for more conversational interactions with Kayak's search engine. There may be not better example today of travel plan disruption than the airport experience. Breed predicts that at least some of the anxiety can be eliminated or mitigated by focused use of AI and generative AI tools like ChatGPT.
☆ Elon Musk threatens to sue Microsoft over using Twitter data for its A.I.
  + stars: | 2023-04-19 | by ( Kif Leswing | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Twitter CEO Elon Musk threatened to sue Microsoft on Wednesday, accusing the software giant of illegally using the social media company's data to train its artificial intelligence model. "They trained illegally using Twitter data," Musk tweeted. Microsoft develops its own so-called large language models (LLMs) and sells access to OpenAI's models. Training data from social networks is valuable because it captures informal, back-and-forth conversations. As these new AI models move from research labs and universities into the corporate world, the owners of the data are starting to make demands.

  + stars: | 2023-04-15 | by ( Will Gendron | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
A research paper by an AI safety expert speculates on future nightmarish scenarios involving the tech. A recent paper authored by Dan Hendrycks, an AI safety expert and director of the Center for AI Safety, highlights a number of speculative risks posed by unchecked development of increasingly intelligent AI. Emergent goals: It's possible that, as AI systems become more complex, they obtain the capability to create their own objectives. An AI safety expert outlined a range of speculative doomsday scenarios from weaponization to power-seeking behavior. A similar sentiment was recently expressed in an open letter signed by Elon Musk and a number of other AI safety experts.
☆ A future 'God-like AI' could destroy humans or make them obsolete if not properly contained, a prolific AI investor warned
  + stars: | 2023-04-13 | by ( Pete Syme | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Ian Hogarth — who has invested in over 50 AI companies — wrote an FT essay warning about the tech. "God-like AI could be a force beyond our control or understanding, and one that could usher in the obsolescence or destruction of the human race," he added. At some point, someone will figure out how to cut us out of the loop, creating a God-like AI capable of infinite self-improvement," Hogarth added. He also warned that the heated competition between those at the forefront of the technology, like OpenAI and Alphabet-owned DeepMind, risks an unstable "God-like AI" because of a lack of oversight. In a 2019 interview with the New York Times, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman compared his ambitions to the Manhattan Project, which created the first nuclear weapons.
☆ Bloomberg plans to integrate GPT-style A.I. into its terminal
  + stars: | 2023-04-13 | by ( Kif Leswing | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Bloomberg LP has developed an AI model using the same underlying technology as OpenAI's GPT, and plans to integrate it into features delivered through its terminal software, a company official said in an interview with CNBC. Bloomberg says that Bloomberg GPT, an internal AI model, can more accurately answer questions like "CEO of Citigroup Inc? The move also shows how the AI market may not be dominated by giants with massive amounts of generalized data. The company was able to use freely available, off-the-shelf AI methods and apply them to its massive store of proprietary — if niche — data. It also can do some "generative AI" applications, like suggesting a new headline based on a short paragraph.
☆ Spain calls for tougher enforcement of oil transfers at sea
  + stars: | 2023-03-31 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
MADRID, March 31 (Reuters) - Spain has called for tighter scrutiny of oil transfers involving tankers at sea as the number of unregulated ships hit by sanctions grows and raises pollution risks, a U.N. agency session heard this week. Spain's Mediterranean and Atlantic coastlines have become hubs for shipping activity including the transfer of oil known as ship-to-ship (STS) operations. Madrid, which has already tightened its rules for STS transfers around its coastline, has called for flag states to step up scrutiny and enforcement of such activity, the source added. A paper submitted to the IMO committee by Australia, the United States and Canada said illicit transfers "undermine the rules-based international order". The IMO committee said the shadow tankers "posed a real and high risk of incident" particularly when engaged in STS transfers.

HANOI, March 27 (Reuters) - A Vietnamese ship monitored a Chinese Coast Guard vessel on Saturday in a Russian-operated gas field in Vietnam's South China Sea exclusive economic zone (EEZ), data show - the latest Chinese patrol in a pattern stretching more than a year. The patrols mirror Chinese Coast Guard activity elsewhere in the South China Sea, where such vessels have been used to assert territorial claims. A spokeswoman for Vietnam's foreign ministry said on Friday that Vietnam acts in the South China Sea “to protect its legal rights”. Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Brunei are among other countries that have competing claims in the South China Sea. Chinese Coast Guard vessels have also patrolled the Tuna block; in January, Indonesia deployed a warship to monitor a Chinese ship there.
☆ Google Bard is already behind in the AI wars with OpenAI and Microsoft
  + stars: | 2023-03-23 | by ( Hasan Chowdhury | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Google Bard, the search firm's answer to ChatGPT, has underwhelmed early testers. Users in the US and UK trying out the AI chatbot find it pales in comparison to OpenAI's tech. The makers of the Twofer Goofer word puzzle found ChatGPT was much better at solving the brainteasers than Google's Bard. It's possible that the company does have a super impressive AI tool up its sleeve. Insider's Hugh Langley reported earlier in March that Google employees are testing a more intelligent version of Bard, nicknamed "Big Bard."
☆ Bill Gates says that in the future ChatGPT will be like 'having a white-collar worker available to help you'
  + stars: | 2023-03-22 | by ( Grace Dean | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Bill Gates said in a blog post that ChatGPT will be like "having a white-collar worker" as an assistant. Gates said it was realistic that people would use AI as a digital personal assistant in the future. "Although humans are still better than GPT at a lot of things, there are many jobs where these capabilities are not used much," Gates wrote. "As computing power gets cheaper, GPT's ability to express ideas will increasingly be like having a white-collar worker available to help you with various tasks," Gates continued. Gates wrote that firms could also create company-wide agents which would have access to sales information, finance documents, product schedules, and industry news and which employees could consult.

☆ Explainer: What is the European Union AI Act?
  + stars: | 2023-03-22 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
Apart from uses of AI by companies, it will also look at AI used in public sector and law enforcement. A GPAIS (General Purpose AI System) is a category proposed by lawmakers to account for AI tools with more than one application, such as generative AI models like ChatGPT. The proposals say those found in breach of the AI Act face fines of up to 30 million euros or 6% of global profits, whichever is higher. WHEN WILL THE AI ACT COME INTO FORCE? The Act is being discussed by parliamentarians, and after they reach common ground, there will be a trilogue between representatives of the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union and the European Commission.

Microsoft announced on Monday that it would integrate generative AI based on ChatGPT into a set of tools for business called CoPilot. One of its primary features is using AI to generate emails. Microsoft says that its AI email writer can take important context from the email thread, like the price that was previously discussed, and stick it in the response drafted by AI. Microsoft's feature is currently in beta testing, but will be released to customers of Microsoft's Viva Sales feature on March 15, the company said on Monday.
☆ Our quest to make AI love us back is futile — and dangerous
  + stars: | 2023-03-06 | by ( Cheryl Teh | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +8 min
But that's futile, experts say, because the AI of today can't feel empathy, let alone love. We've spent years trying to get AI to love us back. Experts told Insider that it's futile to expect the AIs that exist right now to love us back. During a simulation in October 2020, OpenAI's GPT-3 chatbot told a person asking for psychiatric help to kill themselves. Halpern, the UC Berkeley professor, told Insider AI-based relationships are perilous also because the entity can be used as a money-making tool.
☆ A shadow fleet is helping Russia ship oil around the world. And it's growing

London CNN —Russian oil is still finding its way to buyers around the world. Industry insiders estimate the size of that “shadow” fleet at roughly 600 vessels, or about 10% of the global number of large tankers. Andrey Rudakov/Bloomberg/Getty ImagesThe expansion of the shadow fleet highlights the dramatic changes Russia’s war has brought to the global oil market. As a result, an estimated 25 to 35 vessels are being sold per month into the shadow fleet, according to another senior executive at an oil trading firm. There are also questions about who ultimately runs the shadow fleet.
☆ I tried OpenAI's ChatGPT 2 years ago. I'm terrified by how far it's come and think it could change my job.
  + stars: | 2023-02-23 | by ( Emily Senkosky | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
I'm a writer who used GPT-3, an early version of OpenAI's viral chatbot, in 2021. Emily SenkoskyThis experience has given me some insight into what ChatGPT could mean for the future of the writing profession. If writers want ChatGPT to produce worthwhile work, they will need to give it large amounts of contextual data. When the internet becomes flooded with half-hearted AI writing, people working in editorial roles will need to set their writing apart with human touches. I think any future version of ChatGPT will need a human to fine-tune the final product.

☆ The ChatGPT AI hype cycle is peaking, but even tech skeptics don't expect a bust
  + stars: | 2023-02-11 | by ( Eric Rosenbaum | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +18 min
Even the skeptics of the latest hype cycle recounted during the Town Hall numerous examples of how AI is already embedded in more efficient business processes. The arrival of ChatGPT and generative AI only a few years after the hype cycle over the metaverse has attracted both the AI bulls and bears as tech pursues its next big thing. Another executive who works with lawyers and accountants said the sentiment right now is that AI is not to replace lawyers, but "lawyers using AI are gonna replace lawyers." And what generative AI does, is really help you crunch, take your machine learning to, you know, the 'nth' level of the finite level. That may also place AI in the crosshairs of ESG investors, making sure that the ethics part is part of the mission of companies using it.

ChatGPT, the latest technological sensation, is an artificial intelligence chatbot with an amazing ability to carry on a conversation. It relies on a massive network of artificial neurons that loosely mimics the human brain, and it has been trained by analyzing the information resources of the internet. My teenage son recently used ChatGPT to argue about politics with an imitation Karl Marx. As a neuroscientist specializing in the brain mechanisms of consciousness, I find talking to chatbots an unsettling experience. But given the rate of technological improvement, will they be in the next couple of years?
