☆ 10 things in tech: Epstein appeared to threaten Gates, Apple gets its AI cut, and a Twitter hotel
  + stars: | 2023-05-22 | by ( Michael Cogley | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
The Cupertino-based tech giant is taking its usual 30% cut from users signing up to ChatGPT Plus through the app, according to a note from Bernstein analysts. A spokesperson for Gates told the WSJ that Epstein had "tried unsuccessfully to leverage a past relationship" to threaten the tech billionaire. Microsoft's marketing chief told staffers to bump the stock prices for raises. The tech giant has already managed to outpace the market with shares up 33% so far this year. The tech giant just launched two new Pixel phones.
☆ A Wharton professor says AI is like an 'intern' who 'lies a little bit' to make their bosses happy
  + stars: | 2023-05-20 | by ( Aaron Mok | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
UPenn professor Ethan Mollick compares AI to an "intern" who "lies a little bit," CBS reports. Like interns, AI tools require guidance for their outputs to be useful, according to Mollick. Similar to interns who may overcompensate to get ahead of the curve, Mollick compares AI to an "infinite intern" who "lies a little bit" and, at times, wants to make their bosses "a little happy." But like interns, AI requires guidance for its outputs to be useful. Mollick's thoughts on AI come as generative AI tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT take the world by storm.
☆ AI is going to offer every student a personalized tutor, founder of Khan Academy says
  + stars: | 2023-05-04 | by ( Will Gendron | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Sal Khan, the founder of Khan Academy, recently gave a TED Talk on AI's potential impact on education. The technology could offer personalized tutors to every student at a large scale, he said. Sal Khan, the founder of Khan Academy, an educational nonprofit that aims to provide free learning resources, is not necessarily fearful of the technology. In a TED Talk that was released this week, Khan explained the potential benefits of AI across the field of education, likening the possibilities to a personalized tutor for every student. Khan said AI could also offer personalized assistance to teachers, by helping with pre-class work like lesson planning, filling out report cards, and general administrative tasks.
☆ AI Technology Like ChatGPT Will Reshape Software Coding Jobs Forever
  + stars: | 2023-04-26 | by ( Aki Ito | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +14 min
Their conclusion: 19% of workers hold jobs in which at least half their tasks could be completed by AI. Researchers at Microsoft and its subsidiary GitHub recently divided software developers into two groups — one with access to an AI coding assistant, and another without. Amazon has built its own AI coding assistant, CodeWhisperer, and is encouraging its engineers to use it. Another argument from the optimists: Even as AI takes over the bulk of coding, human coders will find new ways to make themselves useful by focusing on what AI can't do. So maybe, long term, human coders will survive in some new, as-yet-to-be-determined role.
☆ An academic used ChatGPT to write a letter of recommendation that helped a student win a prestigious scholarship from Cambridge
  + stars: | 2023-04-24 | by ( Aaron Mok | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Matt Huculak, a university librarian, used ChatGPT to help write a letter of recommendation for a student. The "heartfelt" letter may have helped the student win a prestigious scholarship to Cambridge. A screenshot of the ChatGPT-generated reference letter Huculak used as a template of what not to write. After all, writing a reference letter, Huculak said, "is a tremendously difficult task" that he finds "anxiety producing." "I think committees will quickly learn to spot ChatGPT letters," Huculak said.

☆ AI 'prompt engineer' jobs can pay up to $335,000 a year and don't always require a background in tech
  + stars: | 2023-03-29 | by ( Britney Nguyen | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
The rise in generative AI tools like ChatGPT has created a hot market for "prompt engineers." Sam Altman, the CEO of ChatGPT developer OpenAI, has spoken about the need for prompt engineers. Anna Bernstein, a prompt engineer at Copy.ai, was a freelance writer and historical research assistant before she started working with AI tools. Prompt marketplace PromptBase, which launched last June, allows people to hire prompt engineers or sell their prompts. Don't dwell too much on the current state of prompt engineering.
☆ A Wharton professor had AI chatbots work on a business project for 30 minutes — Bing wrote 1,757 words in under 3 minutes, and ChatGPT wrote code to build an entire website
  + stars: | 2023-03-28 | by ( Sarah Jackson | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
A Wharton professor ran an experiment to test how much AI tools could accomplish in just 30 minutes. Ethan Mollick tasked ChatGPT and the new Bing with working on a business project. ChatGPT wrote HTML code to build a website, and Bing wrote 7 pages of text in 2 minutes and 40 seconds. "I am sure humans could have done better, but they could not have been as fast," Mollick wrote of his experiment. Mollick made headlines earlier this year for requiring that his students use ChatGPT, while many schools and colleges ban such AI tools, citing concerns that they'll facilitate plagiarism.
☆ 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."
☆ We're about to find out whether AI might replace those 200,000 laid-off tech workers as Silicon Valley prioritizes efficiency
  + stars: | 2023-03-16 | by ( Hasan Chowdhury | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
As companies like Meta and Twitter get leaner, AI could replace those engineers. A consistent research finding is that AI tools make humans more efficient. "One reason that large firms struggle with new tech like AI: managers are squeamish about risk," Mollick tweeted. The best pro-human case is that workers are kept on and given access to AI tools like ChatGPT. It may be time for tech workers to update their favorite smug adage: Learn to code.
☆ Companies Are Laying Off Middle Managers, That's a Huge Mistake
  + stars: | 2023-03-13 | by ( Aki Ito | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +11 min
But in recent weeks, as companies brace for tougher times ahead, the assault on middle managers has picked up new steam. At Meta, Mark Zuckerberg is eliminating layers of middle management, demoting many supervisors to the ranks of the supervised. Zuckerberg offered a telling explanation for his decision: He doesn't want to have "managers managing managers, managing managers, managing managers, managing the people who are doing the work." In the UKG survey, 42% of middle managers said they were often or always stressed — a higher share than either frontline workers or C-suite executives. The businesses most likely to weather the current economic turmoil, Harter says, are those that unlock the hidden value of middle managers.
☆ 'Prompt engineering' is one of the hottest jobs in generative AI. Here's how it works.
  + stars: | 2023-03-01 | by ( Aaron Mok | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Knowing how to talk to chatbots may get you hired as a prompt engineer for generative AI. Prompt engineers are experts in asking AI chatbots — which run on large language models — questions that can produce desired responses. Unlike traditional computer engineers who code, prompt engineers write prose to test AI systems for quirks; experts in generative AI told The Washington Post that this is required to develop and improve human-machine interaction models. Prompt engineering may not be 'the job of the future'Some academics question how effective prompt engineers really are in testing AI. Companies in a variety of industries are hiring prompt engineersThat isn't stopping companies across industries from hiring prompt engineers.
☆ Bill Gates and professors at top universities agree: The future belongs to those who master AI like ChatGPT

Even though some school districts banned ChatGPT, educators encourage students to play with AI. But some in the education sector see the intrinsic value of ChatGPT, believing that a familiarity with AI will be an essential skill in the future. The students began to ask ChatGPT more complicated questions that showed they were using AI not to do the work for them, but rather to generate and explore different ideas. The potential for ChatGPT in education is thereNew York City and Los Angeles were two of the largest public school systems that banned ChatGPT. Ultimately, ChatGPT and AI will not go away, so you might as well learn how to use it to get a head start on others.
☆ A Wharton business school professor said Bing will get 'much higher grades' than ChatGPT
  + stars: | 2023-02-15 | by ( Aaron Mok | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
UPenn professor Ethan Mollick expects Bing's AI chatbot to "receive much higher grades" than ChatGPT. Mollick compared the chatbots' essays and found that Bing generates "much higher quality" responses. More testing confirmed to Mollick that Bing may be more powerful than ChatGPT, claim that Microsoft has made in the past. When he pushed Bing to include his readings throughout the syllabus, it fabricated books that he didn't write. Despite a widespread school ban of ChatGPT, Mollick isn't the only educator who sees AI chatbots as a learning opportunity.
