Who hasn't heard of ChatGPT which has taken the world by storm? From writing articles to acing exams to solving complicated arithmetic problems, the uncanny new artificial intelligence (AI) enabled chatbot has been spoken about on every platform. For the uninitiated, ChatGPT is a powerful new AI chatbot from OpenAI that generates text using Natural Language Processing (NLP). Here's what ChatGPT said about its expectations for Budget 2023: Increase in healthcare spending: The Indian government is expected to increase its spending on healthcare to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and to improve the overall health infrastructure in the country. Boosting the manufacturing sector: The government is expected to announce measures to boost the manufacturing sector, which has been hit hard by the pandemic, by providing financial incentives to manufacturers and increasing exports.


ChatGPT: Hopes, Dreams, Cheating and Cybersecurity

#artificialintelligence

Everyone is talking about ChatGPT. The headlines just keep pouring in, and in most cases, the stories are positive. Consider these headlines: DigitalTrends.com -- ChatGPT: how to use the viral AI chatbot that's taking the world by storm: "By now, you've probably heard of ChatGPT, the general-purpose chatbot prototype that the Internet is obsessed with right now. It's quickly become the dominant example of the influence AI-generated content will have in the future, showing just how powerful these tools can be. "It's made by OpenAI, well-known for having developed the text-to-image generator DALL-E, and it's currently available for anyone to try out for free -- even if there have been some issues as of late with accessing this incredible technology." USA Today -- What is ChatGPT? Everything to know about OpenAI's free AI essay writer and how it works: "In less time than it takes me to write this sentence, ChatGPT, the free AI computer program that writes human-sounding answers to just about anything you ask, will spit out a 500-word essay explaining quantum physics with literary flair.


Remark Holdings announces partnership with AAEON - Coleda Pvt Ltd

#artificialintelligence

Remark Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: MARK), a diversified global technology company with leading artificial intelligence ("AI") computer vision solutions, today announced its recent partnership with AAEON, a leader in AI edge computing the importance of delivering market-ready solutions for the creation of smart cities that require vision solutions for increased public safety, situational awareness, and behavioral analysis. "We are very pleased about this partnership. Combining our AI-driven video analytics with AAEON's computing platforms creates a simplified solution for system integrators and end users. Together we can easily build and deploy a complete vision system that detects, identifies, tracks, and characterizes objects, people, vehicles, and behaviors at scale and speed with actionable insights and minimal false alarms," said Dr. Xiaoyun Yang, Director of Research and Development at Remark Holdings. Remark AI's AI-powered SSP capabilities generate real-time alerts for proactive security, including: And for medium to large businesses, it's unrealistic and inefficient to rely on manually monitoring cameras' video streams, given the number of false alarms and the need to act quickly.


The Download: military drones, and forbidden US chips

MIT Technology Review

Generative AI has the potential to transform industrial design and engineering, making it more important than ever for leaders in those industries to stay ahead. So MIT Technology Review has created a new research report that highlights the potential benefits--and pitfalls-- of this new technology. The report includes two case studies from leading industrial and engineering companies that are already applying generative AI to their work--and a ton of takeaways and best practices from industry leaders.

Iran summons Ukraine's envoy over drone attack comments

Al Jazeera

Tehran, Iran – The Iranian foreign ministry has summoned the Ukrainian charge d'affaires in the country over comments made by a top presidential adviser, who appeared to link a recent drone attack in central Iran to the war in Ukraine. The envoy was called on Monday to provide explanations over a Twitter post by Mykhailo Podolyak a day earlier, according to Nournews, an outlet affiliated with Iran's National Security Council. "Explosive night in Iran – drone & missile production, oil refineries," Podolyak, an aide to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, had written on Sunday, adding Ukraine "did warn you". Other Ukrainian officials have yet to publicly expand on his comments. War logic is inexorable & murderous.


U.S. Marines Outsmart AI Security Cameras by Hiding in a Cardboard Box

#artificialintelligence

Former Pentagon policy analyst Paul Scharre has recalled the story in his upcoming book Four Battlegrounds: Power in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. In the book, which will be released on February 28, Scharre recounts how the U.S. Army was testing AI monitoring systems and decided to use the Marines to help build the algorithms that the security cameras would use. They then attempted to put the AI system to the test and see if the squad of Marines could find new ways to avoid detection and evade the cameras. To train the AI, the security cameras, which were developed by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) Squad X program, required data in the form of a squad of Marines spending six days walking around in front of them. After six days spent training the algorithm, the Marines decided to put the AI security cameras to the test.


Practical Machine Learning Techniques to Accelerate Materials Science Research

#artificialintelligence

The U.S. energy grid loses about 5% of its power due to resistive losses in its transmission lines, according to an estimate from the EIA. What if we could find a way to eliminate all of that? As it turns out, there's a really cool class of materials called superconductors -- materials that conduct electricity with 0 resistance. I'll admit, I'm no expert on how exactly the superconducting phenomenon happens. What I do know is that it only happens when the given material gets really cold -- we're talking down to single digits of Kelvin.


The future of UX: 2023 and beyond

#artificialintelligence

Working in the UX industry means living in a constant state of flux. Every day seems to bring new technologies, skills, business challenges, and user expectations to absorb. That's why every December, I eagerly await the release of UX Collective's State of UX report, in which authors Fabricio Teixeira and Caio Braga (plus collaborators) synthesize thousands of articles in order to put the past year into perspective and highlight emerging themes for the road ahead. The underlying theme for this year's report was anxiety. Massive layoffs at tech stalwarts like Facebook, Google, and Amazon, along with headlines about an economic slowdown, have some designers thinking about how to recession-proof their jobs. With headcounts shrinking, design teams are expected to do more with less, and former managers are returning to hands-on work.


Mass-market military drones have changed the way wars are fought

MIT Technology Review

Explosions in Armenia, broadcast on YouTube in 2020, revealed this new shape of war to the world. There, in a blue-tinted video, a radar dish spins underneath cyan crosshairs until it erupts into a cloud of smoke. The action repeats twice: a crosshair targets a vehicle mounted with a spinning dish sensor, its earthen barriers no defense against aerial attack, leaving an empty crater behind. The clip, released on YouTube on September 27, 2020, was one of many the Azerbaijan military published during the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War, which it launched against neighboring Armenia that same day. The video was recorded by the TB2.


Get over ChatGPT on Earth, AI is about to touch the Moon - India Today

#artificialintelligence

By India Today Web Desk: While the world is suddenly gripped by the fascination of ChatGPT with varied industries looking to explore the exponential resource, Artificial intelligence (AI) is about to touch the surface of the Moon. MoonNet, an AI system, is hitching the ride to the lunar world on a United Arab Emirates rover. The Rashid rover was launched to the Moon by Elon Musk's SpaceX on December 11 and will arrive at its destination this spring. The payload will land on the surface using Japan's HAKUTO-R mission 1 lander. The AI system has been developed by Canada's Mission Control Space Services (MCSS) based on $3.04 million in funding from the Canadian Space Agency to demonstrate deep learning AI for the first time on the lunar surface.
