RadioGPT: 'World's first' AI-driven radio station is here
"RadioGPT combines the power of GPT-3 technology with Futuri's AI-driven targeted story discovery and social content system, TopicPulse, as well as AI voice tech to provide an unmatched localized radio experience for any market, any format." RadioGPT scans Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and more than 250k other sources of news and information, to identify which topics are trending in a local market. It then proceeds to use GPT-3 technology, to produce a script for on-air use while AI voices turn that script into compelling audio. Radio stations are given a choice of AI voices for single-, duo, or trio-hosted shows. The AI can even be trained to sound like their existing personalities' voices.
The new creative revolution is called generative artificial intelligence
The connected world is preparing to take a new technological leap with the generative modality of artificial intelligence: that which is capable of generating text, images, video or music. Analysts agree that we are facing a tipping point, the massive adoption of artificial intelligence is imminent. We will use it habitually and it will change our way of creating. Microsoft's billion-dollar investment in OpenAI--the company that launched ChatGPT--should confirm this bet. The ability to automatically generate content will be present in all its products, from word processing to email.

ChatGPT: New AI system, old bias?
Every time a new application of AI is announced, I feel a short-lived rush of excitement -- followed soon after by a knot in my stomach. This is because I know the technology, more often than not, hasn't been designed with equity in mind. One system, ChatGPT, has reached 100 million unique users just two months after its launch. The text-based tool engages users in interactive, friendly, AI-generated exchanges with a chatbot that has been developed to speak authoritatively on any subject it's prompted to address. In an interview with Michael Barbaro on the The Daily podcast from the New York Times, tech reporter Kevin Roose described how an app similar to ChatGPT, Bing's AI chatbot, which also is built on OpenAI's GPT-3 language model, responded to his request for a suggestion on a side dish to accompany French onion soup for Valentine's Day dinner with his wife.
Meredith Broussard: Is it Okay to be AI?
In this episode of the Tech Policy Leaders podcast, Meredith Broussard discusses her new book'More Than a Glitch,' which takes a critical look at algorithms and the people who create them. Data journalist Meredith Broussard is an associate professor at the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute of New York University, research director at the NYU Alliance for Public Interest Technology, and the author of several books, including "Artificial Unintelligence: How Computers Misunderstand the World" and "More Than a Glitch: Confronting Race, Gender, and Ability Bias in Tech." Her academic research focuses on artificial intelligence in investigative reporting and ethical AI, with a particular interest in using data analysis for social good. She appeared in the 2020 documentary Coded Bias, an official selection of the Sundance Film Festival that was nominated for an Emmy Award and an NAACP Image Award.
MoviePass, Take Two!
Stacy Spikes, the C.E.O. of MoviePass, was buying popcorn at the Angelika Film Center the other day, before a screening of Darren Aronofsky's "The Whale." "I think it's incredible," Spikes said of the film, which he'd seen already. "You don't see overweight people, you don't see addiction, you don't see a broken heart the same way as you did before." He filled a cup with Diet Coke before making his way to Theatre 1, fourth row center. Spikes is a movie nerd who has dedicated a chunk of his career to helping theatres survive the age of smartphones and streaming.
The Rise of AI Art - Alan Zucconi
Over the past ten years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have steadily crept into the Art Industry. From Deepfakes to DALL·E, the impact of these new technologies can be longer be ignored, and many communities are now on the edge of a reckoning. On one side, the potential for modern AIs to generate and edit both images and videos is opening new job opportunities for millions; but on the other is also threatening a sudden and disruptive change across many industries. The purpose of this long article is to serve as an introduction to the complex topic of AI Art: from the technologies that are powering this revolution, to the ethical and legal issues they have unleashed. While this is still an ongoing conversation, I hope it will serve as a primer for anyone interested in better understanding these phenomena--especially journalists who are keen to learn more about the benefits, changes and challenges that that AI will inevitably bring into our own lives.
5 Practical Applications Where ChatGPT Shines
A black and white stylized illustration of a guitar player in front of a wall of amplifiers, with smoke rising up behind them, as if they are playing a concert at an underground club. The player's outfit and guitar should be sleek and stylish, while the amplifiers are large and imposing, creating a sense of raw power. Use a combination of line drawings and shading to create a graphic novel-style image, with a pop of bright red on the guitar to add emphasis.
'The Last of Us' recap: 'Left Behind' is Ellie's origin story
The next wonder is a quick stop at a mall photo booth. The third is an arcade, or to Ellie, the "most beautiful thing" she's ever seen. This is the HBO and Warner Bros. Discovery brand universe at work; Warner also owns the Mortal Kombat franchise. Here we see Riley play as Mileena and successfully pull off her Fatality finishing move (which probably counts as yet another miracle). How the hell did a 17-year-old girl in a fungal post-apocalypse learn this move?
