AI deemed 'too dangerous to release' makes it out into the world
An AI that was deemed too dangerous to be released has now been released into the world. Researchers had feared that the model, known as "GPT-2", was so powerful that it could be maliciously misused by everyone from politicians to scammers. GPT-2 was created for a simple purpose: it can be fed a piece of text, and is able to predict the words that will come next. By doing so, it is able to create long strings of writing that are largely indistinguishable from those written by a human being. But it became clear that it was worryingly good at that job, with its text creation so powerful that it could be used to scam people and may undermine trust in the things we read.
AI company releases text-generating robot despite concerns it could be used to create fake news
Creators of a text-generating robot have released the tool to the public despite initial trepidation that it could be manipulated by bad actors. OpenAI - an Elon Musk-backed company that researches artificial intelligence- detailed its system, called GPT-2, in February, but stopped short of releasing it over concerns that it might be used to proliferate spam and fake news. The AI is capable of taking a snippet of text and extrapolating that small piece of information into a larger document. Above is an example of a prompt input by MailOnline. For instance, if fed a phony headline, the bot would be able to produce a fairly convincing fake news story based on the prompt.
OpenAI has published the text-generating AI it said was too dangerous to share
The research lab OpenAI has released the full version of a text-generating AI system that experts warned could be used for malicious purposes. The institute originally announced the system, GPT-2, in February this year, but withheld the full version of the program out of fear it would be used to spread fake news, spam, and disinformation. Since then it's released smaller, less complex versions of GPT-2 and studied their reception. Others also replicated the work. In a blog post this week, OpenAI now says it's seen "no strong evidence of misuse" and has released the model in full.

Recommending 4 Billion Ideas to 250 Million Users in Real Time
While most other recommender systems have a small pool of possible candidates (like 100,000 film titles on a movie review site), Pinterest has to recommend from a catalog of more than 4 billion ideas. To make it happen, we built Pixie, a flexible, graph-based system for making personalized recommendations in real-time.
A Mortgage Lender Uses AI to Expand Home Ownership Intel Newsroom
When people talk about artificial intelligence and mortgages -- and they do, a sign of AI tackling more real-world problems -- they mostly refer to making the process less of a paper-heavy slog. Born of a unique tech startup builder called Entrepreneur First -- a "talent investor" that pairs up smart strangers and helps them develop whatever company idea they come up with -- Proportunity uses AI based on Intel technologies to find London properties that are poised to appreciate in value. The company then offers a sort of "bridge loan" for first-time buyers who can afford the monthly payments but don't have enough for the down payment that traditional lenders require. "We started with first-time buyers because this is a huge problem here in London," says Stefan Boronea, Proportunity co-founder and CTO. The company estimates that down payment requirements keep some 200,000 more would-be first-time buyers from joining the U.K. market today, compared with 2001.
OpenAI published the tool that writes disturbingly believable fake news
In February, OpenAI announced that it had developed an algorithm that could write believable fake news and spam. Deciding that power was too dangerous to unleash, OpenAI planned a staged release so that it could offer pieces of the tech and analyze how it was used. Now, OpenAI says it has seen "no strong evidence of misuse," and this week, it published the full AI. The AI, GPT-2, was originally designed to answer questions, summarize stories and translate texts. But researchers came to fear that it could be used to pump out large volumes of misinformation.

Shaped by AI, the Future of Work Sees Soft Skills & Creativity as Essential
And while we don't always know the full impact of such technological advancement, with Artificial Intelligence (AI) it's becoming increasingly clear that AI will disrupt nearly every industry in one way or another. While many people fear a future in which robots have eliminated human employees from the workforce, AI technology is not nearly that sophisticated yet. Sure, an autonomous train is already helping a company automate its mining operations in Australia, Google is making music with AI and a robot named Flippy has a job flipping burgers in Southern California, but the technology has quite a ways to go before it'll free us from all mundane and repetitive tasks. While experts argue whether AI will ultimately create more jobs than it destroys, we know it is already being used to help humans do their jobs better and augment the number of tasks they can handle concurrently. The technology has been around longer than most people realize.
