The Lack of Women Data Scientists Hurts Artificial Intelligence - Ms. Magazine

#artificialintelligence

New advancements in data science often spark dire predictions about how powerful new technologies will transform the world. Yet, as writer Stephen Shankland reminds us, technologies like Open AI's new Chat GPT (short for chat-based Generative Pretrained Transformer) are created by humans. Chat GPT is a chatbot that is "trained with human assistance to deliver more useful, better dialog." The people assisting that training--those who create the models and assemble the data used to train chatbots--make a difference in the technologies that will go on to shape our lives. Computer scientist Joy Buolamwini, an early critic of racial bias in facial recognition software, said technology should "be more attuned to the people who use it and the people it's used on."


Those Schools Banning Access To Generative AI ChatGPT Are Not Going To Move The Needle And Are Missing The Boat, Says AI Ethics And AI Law

#artificialintelligence

Attempts to ban generative AI such as ChatGPT are not all they are cracked up to be. To ban, or not to ban, that is the question. I would guess that if Shakespeare were around nowadays, he might have said something like that about the recent efforts to ban the use of a type of AI known as Generative AI, which is especially exemplified and popularized due to an AI app called ChatGPT. Some high-profile entities have been attempting to ban the use of ChatGPT. For example, the New York City (NYC) Department of Education recently announced that they were proceeding to block access to ChatGPT on its various networks and connected devices. The reported rationale for the ban consisted of indications that this AI app and the overall use of generative AI seemingly portend negative consequences for student learning. Students that opt to use ChatGPT are said to be undercutting the development of their crucial critical-thinking skills and undermining the growth of their problem-solving abilities. On top of those rather stoutly worrisome qualms, there is the undisputed fact that such AI can produce inaccurate outputs that contain errors and other factual maladies. The dangerous icing on the cake is the imagined possibility that the outputs could potentially be used in an unsafe manner by students that unknowingly rely upon said falsehoods. No such documented harms have yet surfaced that I've seen, so we'll need to just take at face value that this could potentially happen (I have discussed the range of possibilities in my postings; for example, some have posited that generative AI essays could tell someone to take medicines that they should not be taking or provide mental health advice that ought to be proffered by human mental health professionals, etc.).


What is ChatGPT? AI technology sends schools scrambling to preserve learning

#artificialintelligence

Not even two months after its creation, a new artificial intelligence (AI) technology called ChatGPT is getting banned from schools and stirring controversy among educators. ChatGPT, a free and easy-to-use AI search tool, hit the ground running when it was launched to the public in November. Although a huge advancement in the technology field, educators and school systems must grapple with the new tool and the challenges it introduces. "While the tool may be able to provide quick and easy answers to questions, it does not build critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, which are essential for academic and lifelong success," Jenna Lyle, a spokesperson for New York City's Department of Education, said. New York City and Seattle public schools have banned the use of ChatGPT from their devices and networks, citing concerns about cheating and a negative impact on learning.


How The Rise of AI Affects Bloggers Socially - Curatti

#artificialintelligence

We've all been alerted recently in the news about the rise of AI โ€“ namely ChatGPT, the latest evolution in chatbots, released on 30 November 2022. It has attracted media attention because high school students are using it to write their essays! Unfortunately for them, their professors smell the proverbial rat, as the quality of these submissions far outstrips the usual nature of what they contribute. This laziness confirms my suspicions about the reduction in young people's writing ability โ€“ made all the more poignant by the quality of my blog's guest posts I have received over the past few years. How are these indolent scholars going to benefit by merely pushing a button to get their essays written?


Academics work to detect ChatGPT and other AI writing

#artificialintelligence

When humans write, they leave subtle signatures that hint at the prose's fleshy, brainy origins. Their word and phrase choices are more varied than those selected by machines that write. Human writers also draw from short- and long-term memories that recall a range of lived experiences and inform personal writing styles. And unlike machines, people are susceptible to inserting minor typos, such as a misplaced comma or a misspelled word. Such attributes betray the text's humanity.


ChatGPT: Is it possible to detect AI-generated text?

#artificialintelligence

A few weeks after the launch of ChatGPT, a powerful artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, Darren Hick said he caught one of his students cheating by submitting a robot-generated essay. The new technology, released by OpenAI and openly available to the public, can pretty much do anything. Type a request and it can write a persuasive school essay, compose a song or even crack a silly knock-knock joke within a few seconds. Although it can write convincingly, it doesn't mean that what it says is true. That's what set off alarm bells for Hick, an assistant professor of philosophy at Furman University, in the US state of South Carolina.

GPTZero: The Sole Line of Defense Against AI

#artificialintelligence

TL;DR- Today, we'll look at ChatGPT and how it can be used maliciously. Plus, some helpful information on how harmful activities like plagiarism are being combated with a new tool: GPT Zero. A computer science student from Princeton University recently developed GPTZero, which uses statistical characteristics to evaluate if a certain text was written by an AI, or an actual human. Edward Tian, the student who developed GPTZero, says the app analyzes the text for constant tone changes and a high complexity level. While human writers are more likely to incorporate variations into their texts, AI consistently utilizes similar writing choices.
