ChatGPT, A.I.-Powered Chatbot, Faces Rivals From Google and Baidu - The New York Times

#artificialintelligence

Just over two months ago, OpenAI released ChatGPT to the public, instantly thrusting the A.I.-powered chatbot into the center of mainstream discourse, with debates about how it could transform business, education and more. Now Google and the Chinese tech giant Baidu have unveiled their own chatbots, hoping to convince the world their efforts in so-called generative A.I. -- tech that can spout off conversational text, make images and more -- are just as ready for prime time. The service, which will be privately tested before being released more broadly soon, is based on technology that the company has been testing for months. It's Google's latest response to ChatGPT, whose success spurred the tech giant to declare a "code red" and rush out its own A.I.-powered offerings. Google's C.E.O., Sundar Pichai, made clear to employees in an internal memo, reviewed by CNBC, that Bard is now a top priority.


Microsoft and Google are about to Open an AI battle - The Verge

#artificialintelligence

Microsoft has been teasing the importance of its OpenAI partnership recently, setting up just how important this moment is for the company's AI ambitions. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says the company will turn AI models into the next major computing platform. "The next major wave of computing is being born, as the Microsoft Cloud turns the world's most advanced AI models into a new computing platform," Nadella said in an earnings statement last month. "We are committed to helping our customers use our platforms and tools to do more with less today and innovate for the future in the new era of AI."


There's a monumental war brewing over AI citations

PCWorld

Google announced its own AI service, Bard, on Tuesday, and Microsoft is expected to unveil its own AI chatbot on Tuesday. Based upon what we've seen, officially or not, both Microsoft's "new" Bing AI-powered search engine and You.com's YouChat cite a list of sources when presenting answers. The other two, OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard, simply tell you what they think is the right answer. Google said Bard, which it described as an "experimental conversational AI service," will be tested with a small group of beta testers before a launch sometime later. Instead of licensing AI models from OpenAI, as Microsoft has, Google developed its own, called LAMDA.


The Download: generative AI for video, and detecting AI text

MIT Technology Review

What's happened: Runway, the generative AI startup that co-created last year's breakout text-to-image model Stable Diffusion, has released an AI model that can transform existing videos into new ones by applying styles from a text prompt or reference image. What it does: In a demo reel posted on its website, Runway shows how the model, called Gen-1, can turn people on a street into claymation puppets, and books stacked on a table into a cityscape at night. Other recent text-to-video models can generate very short video clips from scratch, but because Gen-1adapts existing footage it can produce much longer videos. Why it matters: Last year's explosion in generative AI was fueled by the millions of people who got their hands on powerful creative tools for the first time and shared what they made, and Runway hopes Gen-1 will have a similar effect on generated videos. Last week, OpenAI unveiled a tool that can detect text produced by its AI system ChatGPT.


The benefits and pitfalls of ChatGPT for journalists

#artificialintelligence

ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) language model created by OpenAI, has been making waves across the internet, leading to questions on how AI will change the way we work and write. In the latest ICFJ Pamela Howard Forum on Global Crisis Reporting webinar, Jenna Burrell, director of research at Data & Society, dove into the pros of ChatGPT and how it can be a tool for journalists, as well as its limitations and what journalists should be cautious about. One of the most important tasks for journalists is simplifying complex topics for a general audience. ChatGPT makes this easier, Burrell said. Using the language model allows journalists to plug an abstract or part of an academic article into ChatGPT and ask the software to simplify it.


Why detecting AI-generated text is so difficult (and what to do about it)

MIT Technology Review

This tool is OpenAI's response to the heat it's gotten from educators, journalists, and others for launching ChatGPT without any ways to detect text it has generated. However, it is still very much a work in progress, and it is woefully unreliable. OpenAI says its AI text detector correctly identifies 26% of AI-written text as "likely AI-written." While OpenAI clearly has a lot more work to do to refine its tool, there's a limit to just how good it can make it. We're extremely unlikely to ever get a tool that can spot AI-generated text with 100% certainty.


How AI And Machine Learning Will Impact The Future Of Healthcare.

#artificialintelligence

"Healthcare organizations will use machine learning" by Leonardo Da Vinci (DALL-E) Our healthcare system is facing huge challenges. The pandemic has exacerbated these challenges, and we are also seeing a rise in lifestyle-related diseases. The world population is also continuing to grow, which is putting even more pressure on our healthcare system. The good news is that using AI to create intelligent processes and workflows could make healthcare cheaper, more effective, more personalized, and more equitable. The healthcare organizations that will be the most successful are the ones that will use machine learning and AI to create a truly intelligent health system.


Hands-On Workshop: AI-Assisted Data Science End to End Platform Tickets, Tue, Feb 21, 2023 at 9:00 AM

#artificialintelligence

Join us for a 2 hour hands-on workshop and learn how to easily create and deploy models. Tomorrow's AI systems will be built by AI while data science teams play a supervisory role. Much like Tony Stark instructing Jarvis, data science teams can instruct generative AI to executive tasks. We will be doing a 2-hour end to end demonstration and workshop of our state of the art AI-Assisted Data Science platform. The workshop will kick off with a technical talk surrounding Generative AI, LLMs, and its implications within the industry.


A Beginner's Guide to ChatGPT – The OpenAI tool

#artificialintelligence

ChatGPT is a new AI tool that has taken the world by storm. Thinking more like a human brain, OpenAI just revolutionized artificial intelligence (AI) to a level that no public API provider has. Well, if you are wondering how you can get started with ChatGPT, here is how. In the past, several C-programmed tools were available for Windows and Linux users, all you needed to do was interact with the tool like you would with a fellow human, and prompts like Hi, my name is this, how are you today provided a benchmark for your next replies. With ChatGPT, to get started, you don't need to salute the AI tool, simply get straight to the point, and you will most definitely receive a reply that may excite you.


Chart: Which Sectors Are Working With OpenAI?

#artificialintelligence

While OpenAI has really risen to fame with the release of ChatGPT in November 2022, the U.S.-based artificial intelligence research and deployment company is about much more than its popular AI-powered chatbot. In fact, OpenAI's technology is already being used by hundreds of companies around the world. According to data published by the enterprise software platform Enterprise Apps Today, companies in the technology and education sectors are most likely to take advantage of OpenAI's solutions, while business services, manufacturing and finance are also high on the list of industries utilizing artificial intelligence in their business processes. Broadly defined as "the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages" artificial intelligence (AI) can now be found in various applications, including for example web search, natural language translation, recommendation systems, voice recognition and autonomous driving. In healthcare, AI can help synthesize large volumes of clinical data to gain a holistic view of the patient, but it's also used in robotics for surgery, nursing, rehabilitation and orthopedics.
