Bill Gates says AI-powered ChatGPT as important as 'PC, internet, mobile phones'

#artificialintelligence

Bill Gates likened the development of artificial intelligence-powered ChatGPT to the advent of the personal computer and said that the new technology will be like having a "white-collar worker" as a personal assistant. "The development of AI is as fundamental as the creation of the microprocessor, the personal computer, the Internet, and the mobile phone," Gates wrote in a blog post. "It will change the way people work, learn, travel, get health care, and communicate with each other." Gates added: "Entire industries will reorient around it. "Businesses will distinguish themselves by how well they use it."


How AI could keep law students in debt forever

FOX News

Attorney Bryan Rotella said the growing use of AI in legal services will increase efficiency but could threaten the jobs of legal assistants and young lawyers. The rise of artificial intelligence could create a ripple effect across the legal industry, putting law school students out of entry-level jobs before even entering the workforce and stripping them of necessary experience to become good lawyers, an attorney of over 20 years said. "What concerns me is that you're going to have a whole bunch of people coming out of law school with huge loans, which we already know is a crisis, and they're going to be outsourced by this artificial intelligence," Bryan Rotella, attorney and founder of GenCo Legal, told Fox News. "I don't know that anyone's warning them of that." As AI is increasingly incorporated into industries like health care, financial services and the legal field, Rotella said there are many ways this technology can be used to aid professionals.


To Teach Better Writing, Don't Ban Artificial Intelligence. Instead, Embrace it. - Education Next

#artificialintelligence

For all the speculation about ChatGPT's potential to upend Kโ€“12 writing instruction, there has been little investigation into the underlying assumption that the AI chatbot can produce writing that makes the grade. We put OpenAI's ChatGPT to the test by asking it to write essays in response to real school curriculum prompts. We then submitted those essays for evaluation. The results show that ChatGPT produces responses that meet or exceed standards across grade levels. This has big implications for schools, which should move with urgency to adjust their practices and learning models to keep pace with the shifting technological landscape.


Guest opinion: Writer, beware of chatbots' impact on our kids

#artificialintelligence

A person works on computer with icons of Chatbot computer program designed for conversation with human users over the internet. So far, in our discussions of artificial intelligence chatbots for student writing and the teaching of writing, there has been a key missing piece. It has to do with the role of optimism in teenagers' lives. Its absence points to our emotional impoverishment as parents and adults and to some reasons why our youth today are so depressed.

The Morning After: Google expands access to its AI chatbot, Bard

Engadget

Google Bard is the company's answer to ChatGPT: an AI chatbot using LaMDA, the company's in-development language model. We've been testing it, and what's immediately clear are all the company's warnings, whether it's the experiment label or the regular reminders that Bard "will not always get it right." Even the example entries, when you boot up Bard, include what the chatbot can't do. The big difference between Google and Bing's integration is the alternative responses that Bard throws up alongside the conversation. You can click the dropdown arrow next to "View other drafts" at the top left of each chat bubble to see some other suggestions.

A Comprehensive Guide to Cracking Artificial Intelligence MCQs and Boosting Your Score

#artificialintelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a critical field in today's technology-driven world. As AI becomes more ubiquitous in our daily lives, it has become a popular topic for exams and job interviews. Whether you're a student studying AI or a professional looking to expand your knowledge, acing AI MCQs (Multiple Choice Questions) is essential. However, answering AI MCQs can be challenging if you don't have a clear understanding of the subject matter. This guide aims to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of AI concepts and techniques, along with tips and tricks to boost your score in AI MCQs.


Artificial intelligence and our future

#artificialintelligence

In my lifetime, I've seen two demonstrations of technology that struck me as revolutionary. The first time was in 1980, when I was introduced to a graphical user interface--the forerunner of every modern operating system, including Windows. I sat with the person who had shown me the demo, a brilliant programmer named Charles Simonyi, and we immediately started brainstorming about all the things we could do with such a user-friendly approach to computing. Charles eventually joined Microsoft, Windows became the backbone of Microsoft, and the thinking we did after that demo helped set the company's agenda for the next 15 years. The second big surprise came just last year.


Efficient Multi-view Clustering via Unified and Discrete Bipartite Graph Learning

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Although previous graph-based multi-view clustering algorithms have gained significant progress, most of them are still faced with three limitations. First, they often suffer from high computational complexity, which restricts their applications in large-scale scenarios. Second, they usually perform graph learning either at the single-view level or at the view-consensus level, but often neglect the possibility of the joint learning of single-view and consensus graphs. Third, many of them rely on the k-means for discretization of the spectral embeddings, which lack the ability to directly learn the graph with discrete cluster structure. In light of this, this paper presents an efficient multi-view clustering approach via unified and discrete bipartite graph learning (UDBGL). Specifically, the anchor-based subspace learning is incorporated to learn the view-specific bipartite graphs from multiple views, upon which the bipartite graph fusion is leveraged to learn a view-consensus bipartite graph with adaptive weight learning. Further, the Laplacian rank constraint is imposed to ensure that the fused bipartite graph has discrete cluster structures (with a specific number of connected components). By simultaneously formulating the view-specific bipartite graph learning, the view-consensus bipartite graph learning, and the discrete cluster structure learning into a unified objective function, an efficient minimization algorithm is then designed to tackle this optimization problem and directly achieve a discrete clustering solution without requiring additional partitioning, which notably has linear time complexity in data size. Experiments on a variety of multi-view datasets demonstrate the robustness and efficiency of our UDBGL approach. The code is available at https://github.com/huangdonghere/UDBGL.


Curvature-Balanced Feature Manifold Learning for Long-Tailed Classification

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

To address the challenges of long-tailed classification, researchers have proposed several approaches to reduce model bias, most of which assume that classes with few samples are weak classes. However, recent studies have shown that tail classes are not always hard to learn, and model bias has been observed on sample-balanced datasets, suggesting the existence of other factors that affect model bias. In this work, we systematically propose a series of geometric measurements for perceptual manifolds in deep neural networks, and then explore the effect of the geometric characteristics of perceptual manifolds on classification difficulty and how learning shapes the geometric characteristics of perceptual manifolds. An unanticipated finding is that the correlation between the class accuracy and the separation degree of perceptual manifolds gradually decreases during training, while the negative correlation with the curvature gradually increases, implying that curvature imbalance leads to model bias. Therefore, we propose curvature regularization to facilitate the model to learn curvature-balanced and flatter perceptual manifolds. Evaluations on multiple long-tailed and non-long-tailed datasets show the excellent performance and exciting generality of our approach, especially in achieving significant performance improvements based on current state-of-the-art techniques. Our work opens up a geometric analysis perspective on model bias and reminds researchers to pay attention to model bias on non-long-tailed and even sample-balanced datasets. The code and model will be made public.
