Microsoft Sentinel -- Azure OpenAI Incident Response Playbook

#artificialintelligence

In a previous blog post, I discussed how integration of ChatGPT and Microsoft Sentinel can simplify the incident handling process. As part of my ongoing exploration of AI-driven incident handling, I recently played with Azure OpenAI and I discovered new possibilities for enhancing my previous work. I decided to integrate Azure OpenAI into my existing setup.


Elon Musk and experts say AI development should be paused immediately

#artificialintelligence

Elon Musk and a group of artificial intelligence experts are calling for a pause in the training of powerful AI systems due to the potential risks to society and humanity. The letter, issued by the non-profit Future of Life Institute and signed by more than 1,000 people, warned of potential risks to society and civilisation by human-competitive AI systems in the form of economic and political disruptions. "AI systems with human-competitive intelligence can pose profound risks to society and humanity," the letter warns. "Powerful AI systems should be developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable." It called for a six-month halt to the "dangerous race" to develop systems more powerful than OpenAI's newly launched GPT-4.


The Real Reason Elon Musk Wants To Pause AI Development

#artificialintelligence

Elon Musk signed an open letter on Tuesday calling for a six-month pause in the development of artificial intelligence tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT, a chatbot that's become incredibly popular since it was first made public in November. And while Musk may insist it's all about making sure the technology is safe, there's likely a much easier explanation: Musk is no longer involved in OpenAI and is frustrated he doesn't have his own version of ChatGPT yet. OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit in 2015, with Elon Musk as the public face of the organization. An article from Wired in early 2016 showed a photo of Musk with his arms crossed, giving the impression he was ready to revolutionize yet another industry. But the story behind Musk's departure from OpenAI is a interesting one, and seems like a much more logical explanation for why the billionaire CEO of several high-tech companies wants to hamper development at OpenAI.


Musk, other tech experts urge halt to further AI developments

Al Jazeera

Billionaire businessman Elon Musk and a range of tech leaders called on Wednesday for a pause in the development of powerful artificial intelligence (AI) systems to allow time to make sure they are safe. An open letter, signed by more than 1,000 people so far including Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, was in response to San Francisco startup OpenAI's recent release of GPT-4, a more advanced successor to its widely-used AI chatbot ChatGPT that helped spark a race among tech giants Microsoft and Google to unveil similar applications. The company says its latest model is much more powerful than the previous version, which was used to power ChatGPT, a bot capable of generating tracts of text from the briefest of prompts. "AI systems with human-competitive intelligence can pose profound risks to society and humanity," said the open letter titled "Pause Giant AI Experiments". "Powerful AI systems should be developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable," it said.


Generating a Human Response to Artificial Intelligence on The Future of Work

#artificialintelligence

The ChatBot can't think, but produces much better responses than Google searches, and can be more entertaining than your WhatsApp chats or Instagram feed. This article tracks the recent development of generative AI tools in the context of work automation and asks whether ChatBots will take our jobs, where does that leave us humans and generates some interesting questions for society. In general, Artificial Intelligence, (AI) includes natural language processing, pattern recognition, and machine learning. We have all probably used AI in recent days with one of our apps, Netflix, Uber, Spotify, Prime. The way to look at AI is as a continuation of the general automation trend, more algorithms, and advanced statistics.


ChatGPT-owner OpenAI Fixes 'significant Issue' Exposing User Chat Titles - DellyRanks

#artificialintelligence

As a result of the fix, users will not be able to access their chat history between 1 am PDT (8 am GMT) and 10 am PDT on March 20, Chief Executive Sam Altman said in a tweet. ChatGPT has seen a meteoric growth rate after its launch late last year as people worldwide got creative with prompts that the conversational chatbot uses to create everything from poems and novels to jokes and film scripts. Last week, Microsoft Corp-backed OpenAI launched its artificial intelligence model GPT-4, an upgrade from GPT-3.5, which was made available to users through ChatGPT on Nov. 30. The integration of OpenAI's GPT technology into Microsoft's Bing has driven people to the little-used search engine, according to data from analytics firm Similarweb.


GPT-4 and the Next Frontier of Generative AI

#artificialintelligence

This is a follow-up to my part 1 on ChatGPT. GPT-4 has burst onto the scene! Open AI officially released the larger and more powerful successor to GPT-3 with many improvements, including the ability to process images, draft a lawsuit, and handle up to a 25,000-word input.ยน During testing, Open AI reported that it was smart enough to find a solution for solving a CAPTCHA by hiring a human on taskrabbit to do it for GPT-4.ยฒ Yes, you read that correctly.


The Robots Are Coming: The Rise of OpenAI and ChatGPT - CTaccess

According to the New York Times, Google became the World's largest search engine in 2000 when it reached the point where it indexed over 1 billion web pages. Since then, Google has become a household word. We "Google it" to learn anything we need, want, or are just curious about. The supremacy of Google has reigned for the last 20 years in the search engine space. Interestingly, recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) with the OpenAI and ChatGPT engine are causing many to question whether the rule of Google will end.


The Delusion at the Center of the A.I. Boom

Slate

The HBO show is a prequel to Game of Thrones, and that series ended so badly I don't want anything more to do with that fictional world. But maybe A.I. could change my mind? At South by Southwest earlier this month, Greg Brockman, president of OpenAI, the company that created ChatGPT, said, "Imagine if you could ask your A.I. to make a new ending that goes in a different way." Could A.I. be the solution to fixing every novel and script someone has a problem with--customizing revisions to make them shorter or longer, less or more violent, more or less "woke"? Even if A.I. could make changes to movies and books that you personally find dissatisfying, part of those works' value lies in the shared conversations they inspire--conversations that require opinions about common, historically situated texts.


Tech leaders and AI experts demand a six-month pause on 'out-of-control' AI experiments

Engadget

An open letter signed by tech leaders and prominent AI researchers has called for AI labs and companies to "immediately pause" their work. Signatories like Steve Wozniak and Elon Musk agree risks warrant a minimum six month break from producing technology beyond GPT-4 to enjoy existing AI systems, allow people to adjust and ensure they are benefiting everyone. The letter adds that care and forethought are necessary to ensure the safety of AI systems -- but are being ignored. The reference to GPT-4, a model by OpenAI that can respond with text to written or visual messages, comes as companies race to build complex chat systems that utilize the technology. Microsoft, for example, recently confirmed that its revamped Bing search engine has been powered by the GPT-4 model for over seven weeks, while Google recently debuted Bard, its own generative AI system powered by LaMDA.
