Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) models such as OpenAI's ChatGPT have the potential to revolutionize Statistical Process Control (SPC) practice, learning, and research. However, these tools are in the early stages of development and can be easily misused or misunderstood. In this paper, we give an overview of the development of Generative AI. Specifically, we explore ChatGPT's ability to provide code, explain basic concepts, and create knowledge related to SPC practice, learning, and research. By investigating responses to structured prompts, we highlight the benefits and limitations of the results. Our study indicates that the current version of ChatGPT performs well for structured tasks, such as translating code from one language to another and explaining well-known concepts but struggles with more nuanced tasks, such as explaining less widely known terms and creating code from scratch. We find that using new AI tools may help practitioners, educators, and researchers to be more efficient and productive. However, in their current stages of development, some results are misleading and wrong. Overall, the use of generative AI models in SPC must be properly validated and used in conjunction with other methods to ensure accurate results.

Microsoft is planning to update Bing Chat to make it a little less bizarre. OpenAI, meanwhile, is trying to make ChatGPT a bit more neutral. Microsoft issued a blog post late Wednesday outlining the changes coming to Bing's AI chatbot, while OpenAI issued a technical blog post on Thursday with more details on how it was tuning its model, too. It's hard to believe that the new Bing Chat has only been out a week, but the new Bing has gained a popularity that it has rarely, if ever had. In a blog post, Microsoft pointed to the "increased engagement" that Bing has seen as both its updated search and the Bing Chat AI chatbot have debuted in 169 countries.

Dave Rogenmoser, the chief executive of Jasper, said he didn't think many people would show up to his generative AI conference. It was all planned sort of last-minute, and the event was somehow scheduled for Valentine's Day. Surely people would rather be with their loved ones than in a conference hall along San Francisco's Embarcadero, even if the views of the bay just out the windows were jaw-slackening. But Jasper's "GenAI" event sold out. More than 1,200 people registered for the event, and by the time the lanyard crowd moseyed over from the coffee bar to the stage this past Tuesday, it was standing room only.

As the fervor around generative AI grows, critics have called on the creators of the tech to take steps to mitigate its potentially harmful effects. In particular, text-generating AI in particular has gotten a lot of attention -- and with good reason. Students could use it to plagiarize, content farms could use it to spam and bad actors could use it to spread misinformation. OpenAI bowed to pressure several weeks ago, releasing a classifier tool that attempts to distinguish between human-written and synthetic text. But it's not particularly accurate; OpenAI estimates that it misses 74% of AI-generated text. In the absence of a reliable way to spot text originating from an AI, a cottage industry of detector services has sprung up.

Generative AI has been all the rage in the recent months, but it is typically generic and not specifically focused on the specific needs of any one company. San Francisco-based startup Jasper is aiming to help make generative AI less generic. The company made a series of announcements today at its Gen AI conference. Jasper is a well-funded operation, raising $125 million in October 2022 to help advance its generative AI efforts.

This post will be updated over time as more information emerges regarding the development of ChatGPT-like technologies in China. Global interest in generative artificial intelligence (AI) has skyrocketed due to the emergence of ChatGPT, a web app that utilizes large language models (LLMs) in order to provide users on-demand information as directed. The OpenAI-developed chatbot has made headlines for a multitude of reasons, ranging from users reacting to its ability to simplify complicated tasks to investigations of its receiving funding from the likes of Microsoft. Excitement about the technology has sparked a major competition among Chinese companies to launch a viable competitor for the domestic market. To be sure, China's stringent regulations surrounding data security and censorship pose questions about the capabilities of AI generated content (AIGC) in the country.

Microsoft (MSFT) on Tuesday unveiled what could be the biggest threat to Google's (GOOG, GOOGL) search empire in years with the release of its new Bing search engine powered by OpenAI's ChatGPT technology. It's a new paradigm for search," Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said during an unveiling event held at Microsoft's Redmond, Washington campus. "Rapid innovation is going to come. A race starts today in terms of what you can expect. We are going to move fast." But Google controls 93% of the marketplace compared to Bing's 3%. So why bother starting a war? Simple: Microsoft wants a larger slice of the $570 billion digital advertising market. In 2022, the company saw $18 billion in ad revenue through search and LinkedIn. Google, meanwhile, pulled in $59 billion in Q4 alone. To that end, Microsoft has outfitted Bing with generative AI powered by a more advanced version of OpenAI's popular ChatGPT chat bot. One example of how this comes into practical use is by searching for whether a new LG ...

Running from 1992 through 1995, Ghostwriter, the beloved PBS children's television show, followed a diverse group of friends as they solved mysteries around their Brooklyn neighborhood with the help of their haunted typewriter, a cursed item possessed by the trapped soul of a murdered runaway Civil War slave. The Ghostwriter typewriter developed by interaction designer, artist and Lumen.world CTO, Arvind Sanjeev, on the other hand, comes with none of the paranormal hang-ups of its coincidental namesake. Instead of a spirit bound to this hellish plane of existence, forced to help tweens solve low-stakes conundrums, the deus in Sanjeev's machina is animated by OpenAI's GPT-3. He first devised this artistic endeavor in 2021 as a, "poetic intervention that allows us to take a moment to breathe and reflect on this new creative relationship we are forming with machines."

What a difference seven days makes in the world of generative AI. Last week Satya Nadella, Microsoft's CEO, was gleefully telling the world that the new AI-infused Bing search engine would "make Google dance" by challenging its long-standing dominance in web search. The new Bing uses a little thing called ChatGPT--you may have heard of it--which represents a significant leap in computers' ability to handle language. Thanks to advances in machine learning, it essentially figured out for itself how to answer all kinds of questions by gobbling up trillions of lines of text, much of it scraped from the web. Google did, in fact, dance to Satya's tune by announcing Bard, its answer to ChatGPT, and promising to use the technology in its own search results.

According to Reuters, the city's economics and information technology bureau in China's capital, Beijing, will assist major firms in developing artificial intelligence (AI) models capable of challenging the top AI ChatGPT. Beijing indicated that they will assist major corporations in investing in the development of an open source framework and accelerating the delivery of essential data. They also stated that as of October last year, Beijing was home to 1,048 core AI businesses, accounting for 29% of the country's total, and that they will investigate methods to foster talent and do research in areas such as ethical governance. The current AI race against large US corporations is gaining traction in China. While people in the country are unable to register OpenAI accounts to use the AI chatbot, companies are scrambling to incorporate the technology into their businesses, and Chinese tech behemoths such as Baidu and Alibaba Group are preparing to develop competing services.
