How much would you pay to use ChatGPT?

#artificialintelligence

ChatGPT, launched by OpenAI in late November 2022, is the new talk of the town. Everyone's raving about its user-friendliness and the mind blowing variety of its skills: it can both generate a fiction piece out of thin air and a functional Python script. We've seen people using it to write cover letters, school essays and political speeches. I even wrote a song called Crypto Winter. Two weeks ago, I subscribed to a Google Alert for ChatGPT and it's one of the longest notification emails I receive from the service every morning. Everyone, from writers to lawyers, developers and even politicians seems to be talking about ChatGPT.


How Do Game Developers And Artists Feel About The Rise Of AI Art?

#artificialintelligence

A mix of talking points, interviews, opinion pieces and more from NL staff and contributors, you'll find our usual blend of thoughtfulness, expertise, frivolity, retro nostalgia, and -- of course -- enthusiasm for all things Nintendo. If you've had your ear to the ground for the past couple of years, you'll have heard at least some of the rumbles of debate over the ethics and impact of AI art. You may have even heard the names of some tools used to create AI art, like Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and DALL-E. But you may also be wondering why these tools have spawned such strong opinions in the news, on social media, and even among people you know. After all, haven't we been having the "robots will take our jobs" discussion for decades, now?


EZInterviewer: To Improve Job Interview Performance with Mock Interview Generator

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Interview has been regarded as one of the most crucial step for recruitment. To fully prepare for the interview with the recruiters, job seekers usually practice with mock interviews between each other. However, such a mock interview with peers is generally far away from the real interview experience: the mock interviewers are not guaranteed to be professional and are not likely to behave like a real interviewer. Due to the rapid growth of online recruitment in recent years, recruiters tend to have online interviews, which makes it possible to collect real interview data from real interviewers. In this paper, we propose a novel application named EZInterviewer, which aims to learn from the online interview data and provides mock interview services to the job seekers. The task is challenging in two ways: (1) the interview data are now available but still of low-resource; (2) to generate meaningful and relevant interview dialogs requires thorough understanding of both resumes and job descriptions. To address the low-resource challenge, EZInterviewer is trained on a very small set of interview dialogs. The key idea is to reduce the number of parameters that rely on interview dialogs by disentangling the knowledge selector and dialog generator so that most parameters can be trained with ungrounded dialogs as well as the resume data that are not low-resource. Evaluation results on a real-world job interview dialog dataset indicate that we achieve promising results to generate mock interviews. With the help of EZInterviewer, we hope to make mock interview practice become easier for job seekers.


What is the future of direct sales in B2B?

#artificialintelligence

To answer this question fully you need to consider something we have been discussing in our sales training courses since 2018, the implementation of SEP's (Sales Engagement Platforms), software tools that help sales teams automate and optimize their sales processes. They can include features from marketing automation platforms (MAPS) such as email tracking, calendar management, lead generation and qualification, building a bridge to customer relationship management (CRM) database systems. Some SEPs may also incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to help sales teams predict customer behaviour and implement personalised outreach strategies by accessing all the available information held not only on the company's servers, but also by retrieving client data from the wider internet. Predictions are 95% of Salespeople Will be Replaced by AI by 2030, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, and Salesforce are currently investing Billions in SEP's incorporating AI. The future of direct sales in a B2B (business-to-business) environment is likely to involve a combination of traditional face-to-face sales techniques and modern, digital methods of communication and outreach.



ChatGPT: Exciting AI possibilities for education in 2023

#artificialintelligence

THE emergence of ChatGPT, an artificial-intelligence (AI) chatbot, will be a game-changer for the education space globally and, no doubt, in Malaysia too. "You can no longer give take-home exams or homework,"said Kevin Bryan, a University of Toronto associate professor who runs an AI-based entrepreneurship programme.

Elvis Nava is a fellow at ETH' Zurich's AI center as well as a doctoral student at the Institute of Neuroinformatics and in the Soft Robotics Lab. In ETH Zurich's Soft Robotics Lab, a white robot hand reaches for a beer can, lifts it up and moves it to a glass at the other end of the table. There, the hand carefully tilts the can to the right and pours the sparkling, gold-coloured liquid into the glass without spilling it. Computer scientist Elvis Nava is the person controlling the robot hand developed by ETH start-up Faive Robotics. The 26-year-old doctoral student's own hand hovers over a surface equipped with sensors and a camera.

But the principles do emphasise that AI should be a tool to help humans and not as a substitute for human insight and thought: "People responsible for the different phases of the AI system lifecycle should be identifiable and accountable for the outcomes of the AI systems, and human oversight of AI systems should be enabled."


Sport, TV, tech and fashion: what does 2023 have in store for us?

The Guardian

There has been an audible buzz about Jack Draper in tennis circles for a while. But in 2023 expect the 21-year-old from Sutton in south-west London, who also has a contract with IMG Models, to crash into the mainstream. He certainly has enough of the right stuff, including the whiplash serve and punishing groundstrokes on the court, and the looks and personality off it. Draper first advertised his talents by taking a set off Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon in 2021, but it was in 2022 that he really made his mark – shooting from No 265 in the world rankings at the start of the year to a career-high 42nd by the end. Along the way, he has taken several high-profile scalps, including the 2020 US Open winner Dominic Thiem and world No 4 Stefanos Tsitsipas. He still needs to improve his fitness and ability to see out big games, but when he does, anything is possible. His fellow Brit Cameron Norrie says he is "sure" Draper "can easily get into the top 10". Expect Draper to make bounding strides towards that goal in the coming months. It may feel as if footballer Beth Mead has already made her mark.


Editors' Picks: Our Favorite Opinions of 2022 - Scientific American

#artificialintelligence

A year of incredible science news was complemented with wide-ranging commentary at Scientific American. Our opinion section featured some of the best and brightest minds, taking us to the front lines of COVID, teaching us about the many fraught Supreme Court decisions involving science and evidence, and more. We learned, for example, about the pitfalls of artificial intelligence, how racists misuse evolutionary biology, and how our children's troubled mental health is another ongoing epidemic. Whether they were thought-provoking, deeply moving or challenged long-held beliefs, here are some of our editors' favorite opinion articles of 2022. This year, language models proved they can write humanlike text, with one AI chatbot generating such impressive responses that it convinced an engineer it was sentient.
