I interviewed Chat GPT and asked it what jobs it and other Artificial Intelligence services were at risk of replacing. Graham F: Hello ChatGPT, what jobs can you replace? As an Artificial Intelligence (AI) language model, I am not capable of replacing any jobs on my own. However, I can assist in various tasks and make certain jobs easier by automating certain repetitive or time-consuming tasks. That being said, advancements in AI and automation technology have led to the automation of some jobs in fields such as manufacturing, transportation, and data entry.

Are tech companies moving too fast in rolling out powerful artificial intelligence technology that could one day outsmart humans? That's the conclusion of a group of prominent computer scientists and other tech industry notables such as Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak who are calling for a 6-month pause to consider the risks. Their petition published Wednesday is a response to San Francisco startup OpenAI's recent release of GPT-4, a more advanced successor to its widely-used AI chatbot ChatGPT that helped spark a race among tech giants Microsoft and Google to unveil similar applications. The letter warns that AI systems with "human-competitive intelligence can pose profound risks to society and humanity" -- from flooding the internet with disinformation and automating away jobs to more catastrophic future risks out of the realms of science fiction. It says "recent months have seen AI labs locked in an out-of-control race to develop and deploy ever more powerful digital minds that no one – not even their creators – can understand, predict, or reliably control."

Fox News' Peter Doocy questions White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about preparations over fears artificial intelligence will outpace humans. The White House remains largely on the sidelines of what has become a growing debate among Americans and lawmakers about the rapid developments being made in the artificial intelligence (AI) industry and whether there should be some type of congressional intervention. Fielding questions from the briefing room on Thursday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre did not say whether the Biden administration would urge lawmakers to federally regulate AI after she was asked by Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy about an open letter, which was signed by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and other tech giants, that cited AI's "profound risks to society and humanity." "It highlights a number of challenges addressed directly in the administration's blueprint for an AI bill of rights, which was released last October," Jean-Pierre said of the letter. "It includes principles and practices AI creators can use to ensure protections related to safety, civil rights, civil liberties are integrated into AI systems from start to finish."

For some, the goal of Future of Life, which is dedicated to mitigating the risk of AI and other technologies, feels impossible to achieve. "It's a prisoner's dilemma," said Sarah Kreps, director of the Cornell Tech Policy Institute at Cornell University, referring to the paradox in decision analysis in which two self-interested entities don't produce the best result. "There's no way to collectively get all of the different entities that are working on these language models to collectively pause." The letter is reminiscent of a call from former President Obama in 2009 to disarm to have a world without nuclear weapons, Kreps said. Obama pledged the United States would give up its nuclear weapons -- but only once everyone else had gotten rid of theirs.

DataGrade CEO Joe Toscano says the danger with artificial intelligence programs is'how fast it's moving' as Elon Musk calls for a six month pause on new AI. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) called Thursday for countries to implement its global ethical framework immediately following pleas by more than a thousand tech workers for a pause in the training of the most powerful artificial intelligence (AI) systems. The agency said in a release that the "Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence" provides all necessary safeguards. "The world needs stronger ethical rules for artificial intelligence: this is the challenge of our time. UNESCO's Recommendation on the ethics of A.I. sets the appropriate normative framework. Our member states all endorsed this recommendation in November 2021. It is high time to implement the strategies and regulations at national level," Audrey Azoulay, UNESCO's director-general, said in a statement.

Research laboratory Midjourney has paused free trials of its image-generation software after users cranked out realistic deepfakes including of former US president Donald Trump getting arrested and Pope Francis in a puffer jacket. Midjourney responded to a request Thursday for a trial with a message saying it could not be provided and to try again another day. The imagery created using the artificial intelligence platform, particularly those of Trump and the pontiff which went viral, have put a spotlight on the San Francisco-based lab. "Due to a combination of extraordinary demand and trial abuse we are temporarily disabling free trials until we have our next improvements to the system deployed," Midjourney founder David Holz said in a post this week on the company's Discord channel. The service generates realistic looking images based on written prompts made by users.

Congressional lawmakers weighed in on whether companies should pause advanced artificial intelligence training in the wake of an open letter signed by Elon Musk and other tech leaders. WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressional lawmakers weighed in Thursday on whether companies should pause advanced artificial intelligence training in the wake of an open letter signed by Elon Musk and other tech leaders. "I think Elon Musk is rightfully being cautious," Rep. Brian Mast, a Florida Republican, told Fox News. "I appreciate that he's looking to put the brakes on, and I agree with it." Elon Musk and other tech industry leaders signed an open letter calling for a six-month pause on training new, advanced artificial intelligence systems.

A public challenge could put a temporary stop to the deployment of ChatGPT and similar AI systems. The nonprofit research organization Center for AI and Digital Policy (CAIDP) has filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) alleging that OpenAI is violating the FTC Act through its releases of large language AI models like GPT-4. That model is "biased, deceptive" and threatens both privacy and public safety, CAIDP claims. Likewise, it supposedly fails to meet Commission guidelines calling for AI to be transparent, fair and easy to explain. The Center wants the FTC to investigate OpenAI and suspend future releases of large language models until they meet the agency's guidelines.

Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, sounds off on the lack of oversight of the roughly $130 billion sent to Ukraine on'Tucker Carlson Tonight.' Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, is introducing a bill on Thursday that if passed would establish English as the official language of the United States. "The English language has been a cornerstone of American culture for over 250 years," Vance said. "It is far past time for Congress to codify its place into law, which is exactly what this bill does." While English is the most commonly spoken language in the United States, the country is one of a handful that do not have a national language.

Researchers at America's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) are developing machine learning techniques to help the Feds crack down on potentially rogue nuclear weapons. Suffice to say, it's generally illegal for any individual or group to own a nuclear weapon, certainly in the United States. Yes, there are the five officially recognized nuclear-armed nations – France, Russia, China, the UK, and the US – whose governments have a stash of these devices. And there are countries that have signed the United Nations' Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, meaning they've promised not to "develop, test, produce, acquire, possess, stockpile, use or threaten to use" these gadgets. So if anyone has a nuke in their possession, it's because they are a country in the official nuclear-armed club, they are a government that's produced its own nukes, a terrorist who stole, bought, or somehow built one themselves, or some other sketchy scenario, in America's eyes at least.
