Chatbots Could Be Used For Large-Scale Disinformation: ChatGPT Founder Sam Altman

#artificialintelligence

ChatGPT has taken the world by storm as people fear that jobs might be wiped off. An AI chatbot created by OpenAI, ChatGPT was released in November 2022. It has the ability to deliver human-like responses, making it popular among users. By December 4, 2022, the tool had already had over a million users. While chatbot has potential to generate content and conversational responses to users' queries, it has also fueled fears that it can be used to aid scammers and disinformation.



Smart needles may cut down on surgeries: What to know

FOX News

Dr. Nicole Saphier and the mother of a daughter diagnosed with cancer, Laura Bray, discuss the drug shortage crisis. From smartphones to smart cars and smart homes, now this D.C.-based start-up company is attempting to release the "smart needle." Smart needles seem only appropriate as we inch closer to a seemingly sci-fi-based reality with neuralink, ChatGPT and quantum computing. Remarkably, this development, unlike the catastrophic undertones of ChatGPT, is a positive one that can only improve medicine. This start-up is aiming at disrupting modern health care treatments with the intent of providing superior curative care to cancer patients.


The Effects of Android Robots Displaying Emotion on Humans: Interactions between Older Adults and Android Robots

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Often robots are seen as a means to an end to fulfill a logical objective task. Android robots, on the other hand, provide new possibilities to fulfill emotional tasks and could therefore be integrated into assistive scenarios. We explored this possibility by letting older adults and stakeholders have a conversation with an android robot capable of expressing emotion through facial expressions. The study was carried out with a wizard-of-oz approach and data collected with a mixed methods approach. We found that the participants were encouraged to speak more with the robot due to its smile. Simultaneously, many ethical questions were raised about transparency and manipulation. Our research can give valuable insight into the reaction of older adults to android robots that show emotions.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says he's a 'little bit scared' of A.I.

#artificialintelligence

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in a recent interview with ABC News that he's a "little bit scared" of artificial intelligence technology and how it could affect the workforce, elections and the spread of disinformation. OpenAI developed the ChatGPT bot, which creates human-like answers to questions and ignited a new AI craze. "I think people really have fun with [ChatGPT]," Altman said in the interview. But his excitement over the transformative potential of AI technology, which Altman said will eventually reflect "the collective power, and creativity, and will of humanity," was balanced by his concerns about "authoritarian regimes" developing competing AI technology. "We do worry a lot about authoritarian governments developing this," Altman said.


The Marvellous Boys of Palo Alto

The New Yorker

Not long before his death in 2007, my father told me that he "thought he might have" coined the term information technology. It turns out he was right. In an article titled "Management in the 1980's," published in the November, 1958, issue of the Harvard Business Review, Harold J. Leavitt and his co-author, Thomas L. Whisler, identify a "new technology" that "has begun to take hold in American business, one so new that its significance is still difficult to evaluate." Since this technology "does not yet have a single established name," the article notes, "we shall call it information technology. It is composed of several related parts": "techniques for processing large amounts of information rapidly"; "the application of statistical and mathematical methods to decision-making problems"; and "in the offing, though its applications have not yet emerged very clearly . . . the simulation of higher-order thinking through computer programs." By the end of his life, my father had adopted a far more skeptical attitude toward the organizations he earned his living trying to understand and improve.


5. Precision Medicine - Personalised Medicine and Life Sciences โ€ข SMASH

#artificialintelligence

This thematic area relates to the'medicine of the future', principally the customisation of healthcare, with medical decisions, treatments, practises, or products being tailored to the individual patients, instead of a oneโ€drugโ€ fitsโ€all model. Preventive or therapeutic interventions can then be targeted at those who will benefit, sparing expense and side effects for those who will not. Data analytics, including data mining and machine learning, is an integral part of the precision medicine model, e.g., in the discovery of new predictive or prognostic biomarkers or subgroups of patients. The number of papers reporting advances in this field are on almost an exponential rise since 2010 with Aaron Ciechanover, a Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry 2004, branding personalised medicine the "third revolution" of drug research. Neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's dementia (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), are caused by the progressive loss of structure or function of neurons.


Neurotechnology is here. Without laws, your brain's privacy is at risk. - Vox

#artificialintelligence

If you've ever wished your brain was more user-friendly, neurotechnology might seem like a dream come true. It's all about offering you ways to hack your brain, getting it to do more of what you want and less of what you don't want. There are "nootropics" -- also known as "smart drugs" or "cognitive enhancers" -- pills that supposedly give your brain a boost. There's neurofeedback, a tool for training yourself to regulate your brain waves; research has shown it has the potential to help people struggling with conditions like ADHD and PTSD. There's brain stimulation, which uses electric currents to directly target certain brain areas and change their behavior; it's shown promise in treating severe depression by disrupting depression-linked neural activity. Oh, and Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg are working on brain-computer interfaces that could pick up thoughts directly from your neurons and translate them into words in real time, which could one day allow you to control your phone or computer with just your thoughts. Some of these technologies can offer very valuable help to people who need it.


AI expert warns of too much 'hype': Humans will still be in charge, won't be 'pets' to new tech

FOX News

Dr. Robert Marks is a professor at Baylor University. He warns the general public against accepting too much "hype" when it comes to artificial intelligence. According to an expert on artificial intelligence (AI), the biggest threats from the emerging technology include the United States military falling behind other countries, as well as unreliable "woke" bias in Chat GPS. However, Robert J. Marks II, PhD, a professor at Baylor University, hit back against sci-fi warnings of sentient machines and reassured Americans that they won't become "pets" to an all-controlling technology. In an interview with Fox News Digital, Marks, the Director of the Walter Bradley Center for Natural & Artificial Intelligence, suggested that the culture gets a lot wrong about the technology.
