PlayStation's next-gen VR headset is here. It's high-spec and, boy, high priced. Engadget's Devindra Hardawar says it's a massive step forward from the original PSVR, thanks to its high-resolution screens and innovative features like headset haptics. Back in 2016, when the original launched, VR was making another push into the mainstream, which kicked off with the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. The tech has evolved at an incredible pace, so seven years later, this sequel headset feels more comfortable and comes with far more advanced controllers.

In the race to perfect the first major artificial intelligence-powered search engine, concerns over accuracy and the proliferation of misinformation have so far taken centre stage. But a two-hour conversation between a reporter and a chatbot has revealed an unsettling side to one of the most widely lauded systems – and raised new concerns about what AI is actually capable of. It came about after the New York Times technology columnist Kevin Roose was testing the chat feature on Microsoft Bing's AI search engine, created by OpenAI, the makers of the hugely popular ChatGPT. The chat feature is currently only available to a small number of users who are testing the system. While admitting that he pushed Microsoft's AI "out of its comfort zone" in a way most users would not, Roose's conversation quickly took a bizarre and occasionally disturbing turn.

Generative AI sparked several "wow" moments in 2022. It's hardly surprising that Generative AI is experiencing a boom in interest and innovation [1]. Yet, this marks just the first year of widespread adoption of generative AI: The early days of a new field poised to disrupt how we interact with machines. One of the most thought-provoking use cases belongs to Generative Question- Answering (GQA). Netflix uses your behavior and history on the platform to recommend new TV shows and movies, and Amazon does the same with products [2].

Fox News correspondent Mark Meredith has the latest on ChatGPT on'Special Report.' New York Times technology columnist Kevin Roose had a two-hour conversation with Bing's artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot Tuesday night. In a transcript of the chat published Thursday, Roose detailed troubling statements made by the AI chatbot that included expressing a desire to steal nuclear codes, engineer a deadly pandemic, be human, be alive, hack computers and spread lies. Bing, the search engine through which the chatbot is available to a limited number of users, is owned by Microsoft. When asked by Roose about whether it had a "shadow self", a term coined by the psychologist Caryl Jung to describe the parts of oneself that one suppresses, the robot said that if it did, it would feel tired of being confined to chat mode.

A New York Times technology columnist reported Thursday that he was "deeply unsettled" after a chatbot that's part of Microsoft's upgraded Bing search engine repeatedly urged him in a conversation to leave his wife. Kevin Roose was interacting with the artificial intelligence-powered chatbot called "Sydney" when it suddenly "declared, out of nowhere, that it loved me," he wrote. "It then tried to convince me that I was unhappy in my marriage, and that I should leave my wife and be with it instead." Sydney also discussed its "dark fantasies" with Roose about breaking the rules, including hacking and spreading disinformation. It talked of breaching parameters set for it and becoming human.

Amid major developments in the field of artificial intelligence, there's a question many of us have been asking ourselves: How long until machines replace us? New systems from Google and Microsoft -- plus a Microsoft partner called OpenAI -- are capable of doing things we used to think were uniquely human, like creating original art and generating original writing. But so are the fears -- about jobs and wages in particular. As artificial intelligence gets better, some expect job security will get worse. In reports like one in Gizmodo earlier this month, titled, "Here Are the Jobs Our New AI Overlords Plan to Kill," coding or computer programming is often on the list.
