The creators of artificial intelligence (AI) fuelled applications should pay for the news and content being used to improve their products according to the CEO of News Corp Australia. In an April 2 editorial in The Australian, Michael Miller called for "creators of original journalism and content" to avoid the past mistakes that "decimated their industries" which he claimed allowed tech companies to profit from using their stories and information without compensation. Chatbots are software that ingests news, data and other information to produce responses to queries that mimic written or spoken human speech, the most notable of which is the ChatGPT-4 chatbot by AI firm OpenAI. According to Miller, the rapid rise of generative AI represents another move by powerful digital companies to develop "a new pot of gold to maximize revenues and profit by taking the creative content of others without remunerating them for their original work." Using OpenAI as an example, Miller claimed the company "quickly established a business" worth $30 billion by "using the others' original content and creativity without remuneration and attribution."

AI research lab OpenAI is expected to roll out GPT-5 technology later this year, which could make generative AI indistinguishable from a human, according to a tech insider and expert. "I have been told that gpt5 is scheduled to complete training this December and that OpenAI expects it to achieve AGI," tech entrepreneur and developer Siqi Chen tweeted last week. Chen is the co-founder of Runway Financial, a financial software company, the former vice president of growth at food delivery service Postmates, and a member of the board of directors at virtual reality firm Sandbox VR. AGI stands for "artificial general intelligence," which is defined when AI systems are able to comprehend a task or concept the same as humans. "Which means we will all hotly debate as to whether it actually achieves AGI," Chen added.

The Plastic Surgery In-Service Training Exam (PSITE) is an important indicator of resident proficiency and serves as a useful benchmark for evaluating OpenAI's GPT. Unlike many of the simulated tests or practice questions shown in the GPT-4 Technical Paper, the multiple-choice questions evaluated here are authentic PSITE questions. These questions offer realistic clinical vignettes that a plastic surgeon commonly encounters in practice and scores highly correlate with passing the written boards required to become a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Our evaluation shows dramatic improvement of GPT-4 (without vision) over GPT-3.5 with both the 2022 and 2021 exams respectively increasing the score from 8th to 88th percentile and 3rd to 99th percentile. The final results of the 2023 PSITE are set to be released on April 11, 2023, and this is an exciting moment to continue our research with a fresh exam. Our evaluation pipeline is ready for the moment that the exam is released so long as we have access via OpenAI to the GPT-4 API. With multimodal input, we may achieve superhuman performance on the 2023.

Large language models have been demonstrated to be valuable in different fields. ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, has been trained using massive amounts of data and simulates human conversation by comprehending context and generating appropriate responses. It has garnered significant attention due to its ability to effectively answer a broad range of human inquiries, with fluent and comprehensive answers surpassing prior public chatbots in both security and usefulness. However, a comprehensive analysis of ChatGPT's failures is lacking, which is the focus of this study. Eleven categories of failures, including reasoning, factual errors, math, coding, and bias, are presented and discussed. The risks, limitations, and societal implications of ChatGPT are also highlighted. The goal of this study is to assist researchers and developers in enhancing future language models and chatbots.

Generative AI models, including large language models and multimodal models that include text and other media, are on the cusp of transforming many aspects of modern life, including entertainment, education, civic life, the arts, and a range of professions. There is potential for Generative AI to have a substantive impact on the methods and pace of discovery for a range of scientific disciplines. We interviewed twenty scientists from a range of fields (including the physical, life, and social sciences) to gain insight into whether or how Generative AI technologies might add value to the practice of their respective disciplines, including not only ways in which AI might accelerate scientific discovery (i.e., research), but also other aspects of their profession, including the education of future scholars and the communication of scientific findings. In addition to identifying opportunities for Generative AI to augment scientists' current practices, we also asked participants to reflect on concerns about AI. These findings can help guide the responsible development of models and interfaces for scientific education, inquiry, and communication.

My cartoon last week, "AI Written, AI Read", has already become one of my more widely shared cartoons ever -- nearly a million impressions on LinkedIn alone. Generative AI is clearly on a lot of our minds right now. "I think this is going to rewrite civilization -- Buckle up." Various forms of AI have long been riding Gartner's famous Technology Hype Cycle, hitting the "Peak of Inflated Expectations" before slipping into the "Trough of Disillusionment." Eventually, the theory goes, some form of the technology rises up the "Slope of Enlightenment" to find widespread adoption in the "Plateau of Productivity."

Kurt'The Cyberguy' Knutson weighs in on the new artificial intelligence bot known as Chatgpt that could potentially allow students to cheat in school on'Fox & Friends Weekend.' Italy's deputy prime minister criticized the country's Data Protection Authority for implementing an immediate ban on AI chatbot ChatGPT over privacy concerns. "I find the decision of the Privacy Watchdog that forced #ChatGPT to prevent access from Italy disproportionate," Matteo Salvini, leader of a populist party known as the League Party, wrote on Instagram, according to Reuters. Salvini continued that the Data Protection Authority was "hypocritical" in temporarily banning ChatGPT and called for common sense as "privacy issues concern practically all online services," according to Reuters. Italy's Data Protection Authority, which is an independent agency that works to "protect fundamental rights and freedoms in connection with the processing of personal data," implemented a ban on OpenAI's ChatGPT program last week. OpenAI, a California-based company that is backed by Microsoft, officially disabled ChatGPT for Italian users on Friday.

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is expanding beyond text-to-image models, with the emergence of text-to-video. Runway's Gen-2 model and Google's Imagen Video and Phenaki models create videos based on text prompts, but the challenge lies in achieving precision and avoiding fake or misleading videos. Ethical challenges also arise, as AI-generated videos could be used for deception via the creation of deepfakes. However, with Big Tech already involved in the development of text-to-video models, it may not be long before this technology becomes mainstream. When it comes to generative AI, there's only one thing dominating the headlines -- ChatGPT.

Fox News correspondent Matt Finn has the latest on the impact of AI technology that some say could outpace humans on'Special Report.' A college student in the U.K. said she was able to get out of a parking ticket by using AI technology to draft a letter requesting to revoke the fine. "I was like, 'Oh I don't need this fine, I'm a student' but trying to articulate what I wanted to say was pretty difficult so I thought I'll just see if ChatGPT can do it for me," the 22-year-old student in York, Millie Houlton, told the BBC. Houlton said she asked OpenAI's ChatGPT to "please help me write a letter to the council, they gave me a parking ticket." The ticket was for £60, or roughly $74, that the young woman said was wrongly issued after she parked on her street.

Generative AI models are the hot new thing in the Big Tech world, and everyone is joining the race. The buzz really only started with OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot, a generative AI language model that is incredibly good at predicting which words should follow one another when you feed it with prompts. Google has long been working on a similar technology, dubbed LaMDA, and with ChatGPT taking the world by storm, the company saw itself forced to release some version of its AI model to the world. That's how we got Bard, Google's first publicly available chat-based generative language model, with access to many parts of the internet. But is Google really at the same level as ChatGPT already?
