Some of these bots are intended to be educational tools — making classrooms interactive. Khanmigo and Hello HistoryThe Washington Post put one of these bots to the test, using Khan Academy's Khanmigo bot to "interview" Harriet Tubman, the US abolitionist. AdvertisementAdvertisementThe AI Tubman largely appeared to recount information that could be found on Wikipedia, but it did make some key errors and seemed to struggle to distinguish the quality of different sources. AdvertisementAdvertisementInsider asked the same question to Hello History, another historical AI chatbot, to see if it would fare any better. Effects on critical-thinking skillsGupta also pointed to a deeper issue with using bots as educational tools.

Some AI experts say we're barreling headfirst toward the destruction of humanity. Current AI systems are not sentient but they are created to be humanlike. "We need to look at the lack of purpose that people would feel at the loss of jobs en masse," he told Insider. AI biasIf AI systems are used to help make wider societal decisions, systematic bias can become a serious risk, experts told Insider. There have already been several examples of bias in generative AI systems, including early versions of ChatGPT.

☆ Web search as you know it is dead: Microsoft's and Google's new AIs are about to transform how you look for information online

AI-boosted search engines from Microsoft and Google are set to change the way we search the web. New versions of Google Search and Bing are meant to give conversational answers to complex queries. It's "more like just asking a personal assistant to do something," an AI expert told Insider. Nadella said in media interviews Tuesday that the AI-powered overhaul of web search represented "a new paradigm" for the industry. The new search AIs draw their answers from the web at large, and information on the web isn't always accurate, to say the least.
☆ Elon Musk thinks some of ChatGPT's responses are 'concerning'

Elon Musk has taken issue with some of ChatGPT's responses. Among them, apparently, is Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter and one of the founders of OpenAI, which created ChatGPT. On Monday, in response to a retweet of a screenshot of a ChatGPT's answer to a question about a hypothetical scenario involving racial slurs, Musk said, "Concerning." It was unclear which part of the response Musk was referring to. Researchers said in December that ChatGPT appeared to be capable of passing the US medical-licensing exam, though the research was still being peer-reviewed.
☆ Deforestation in Brazil's Cerrado savanna hits seven-year high

REUTERS/Amanda PerobelliSAO PAULO/MONTREAL, Dec 14 (Reuters) - Deforestation in Brazil's Cerrado savanna rose to a seven-year high, government data showed on Wednesday, destroying a vital habitat for threatened species and releasing huge amounts of greenhouse gases that drive climate change. Destruction of native vegetation rose 25% to 10,689 square kilometers (4,127 square miles) – an area larger than Lebanon. Brazil's official deforestation statistics run from August to July to minimize clouds obscuring the destruction. The Cerrado, the world's most species-rich savanna, has given way to Brazil's expanding agricultural frontier for decades. "We need COP15 negotiators to prioritise ending deforestation and conversion in areas where the yearly rate of ecosystem losses prove alarming, like the Cerrado."
