 Generative AI


AI can make movies, edit actors, fake voices. Hollywood isn't ready.

Washington Post - Technology News

But the entrance of these tools is causing trepidation. A Goldman Sachs report in late March said generative AI could significantly disrupt the global economy and subject 300 million jobs to automation. The Writers Guild of America, which represents screenwriters, is locked in negotiations with movie studios -- and the way artificial intelligence can be used in scriptwriting is a key sticking point. Actors, such as Keanu Reeves, are raising alarm bells, saying the rise of generative AI is "scary" and could be a way for executives to not pay artists fairly.


Factbox: Governments' efforts to regulate AI tools

April 12 (Reuters) - Italy's data protection agency said on Wednesday it would lift its temporary ban on OpenAI's ChatGPT artificial intelligence (AI) technology if the U.S. company complied with data protection and privacy demands by end-April. Rapid advances in AI such as Microsoft-backed OpenAI's ChatGPT are complicating governments' efforts to agree on laws governing the use of the technology. The government requested advice on how to respond to AI from Australia's main science advisory body and is considering next steps, a spokesperson for the industry and science minister said on April 12. Britain said in March it plans to split responsibility for governing AI between its regulators for human rights, health and safety, and competition, rather than creating a new body. China's cyberspace regulator on April 11 unveiled draft measures to manage generative AI services, saying it wants firms to submit security assessments to authorities before they launch offerings to the public. China's capital Beijing will support leading enterprises in building AI models that can challenge ChatGPT, its economy and information technology bureau said in February.


User spending goes up by more than 4000% on AI-powered apps

Given the rising interest in generative AI tools like text-based ChatGPT and image-based Midjourney, AI-powered apps are growing in numbers and popularity in both app stores. A report by analytics firm Apptopia suggests that 158 AI Chatbot apps -- with the description having keywords like "AI Chat" or "AI Chatbot" -- hit the app stores in the first quarter of this year. The data suggests that multiple apps like Nova AI, Genie AI and Chat with Ask AI have broken into top charts in app stores -- a lot of these apps are similarly named, so it's easy to get confused between them. At the time of writing, Chat with Ask AI is on the top 10 free apps list on iOS in multiple countries. Apptopia mentions in the report that developers are trying to convert AI chatbot tech, which is easily available on a web browser, into a native mobile experience and charging money for it.


Alison El-Araby: The disruptive potential of artificial intelligence

#artificialintelligence

AI has been making steady progress over the last decade owing to advances in computing and better access to quality data sets. More recently, however, OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot model has captured the public's attention with its ability to answer, augment and automate across a wide range of knowledge-based functions. While far from foolproof, the model has been known to pass qualifying exams in several fields and could be a clarion call for how education, and society more broadly, must prepare for a new wave of disruptive innovation. Knowledge workers are not the only ones who have taken notice. DALL-E, the artistic form of OpenAI, has also made waves with its creative expression in poetry and imagery.


Unlocking the power of data with Generative AI - The AI Journal

#artificialintelligence

Generative AI has picked up incredible momentum in the last few months. Hype is now becoming reality, with companies of all sizes, in all industries, embracing GPT and other large language models (LLMs) to enhance business operations and customer offerings. We are seeing first-hand how this technology can truly transform organisations, and the relationship between human and machine. At the same time, we are in the defining'decade of data' – a period marked by the fundamental shifts in power created by the intersection of technology and data and the impact this has in every facet of our lives. In today's landscape, a company's data can be two or three times more valuable than the company itself.


Cheating with ChatGPT? Students dish on temptations of AI in the classroom

FOX News

Students at the University of Texas at Austin tell Fox News whether they know or have heard of fellow students using ChatGPT to complete class assignments. AUSTIN, Texas – A majority of college students who spoke with Fox News said they knew or had heard of fellow pupils using ChatGPT for class assignments. "Unfortunately, yes," Riley, an economics major, told Fox News. "I definitely have heard of a couple of people using it for certain things," Piper, a STEM major, said. Recent advances in artificial intelligence technologies, including ChatGPT and Google's Bard, have ignited plagiarism concerns across American schools.

How Generative AI Could Disrupt Creative Work

#artificialintelligence

In the face of technological change, creativity is often held up as a uniquely human quality, less vulnerable to the forces of technological disruption and critical for the future. Today however, generative AI applications such as ChatGPT and Midjourney are threatening to upend this special status and significantly alter creative work, both independent and salaried. The authors explore three non-exclusive scenarios for this disruption of content creation: 1) people use AI to augment their work, leading to greater productivity, 2) generative AI creates a flood of cheap content that drives out human creatives, and 3) human-made creative work demands a premium. The "creator economy" is currently valued at around $14 billion per year. Enabled by new digital channels, independent writers, podcasters, artists, and musicians can connect with audiences directly to make their own incomes.

The "creator economy" is currently valued at around $14 billion per year. Enabled by new digital channels, independent writers, podcasters, artists, and musicians can connect with audiences directly to make their own incomes. Internet platforms such as Substack, Flipboard, and Steemit enable individuals not only to create content, but also become independent producers and brand managers of their work. While many kinds of work were being disrupted by new technologies, these platforms offered people new ways to make a living through human creativity.
