At the same time, many of those same tech giants are also plowing resources into artificial intelligence and gushing over its potential to transform the way business gets done. Microsoft, for example, said it would be laying off 10,000 workers in a regulatory filing this week, citing "macroeconomic conditions and changing customer priorities." But CEO Satya Nadella, speaking onstage at Davos this week, told attendees, "A golden age of A.I. is underway and will redefine work as we know it." A few years ago, Microsoft invested $1 billion in OpenAI, the maker of A.I. chatbot ChatGPT. That includes DALL-E, which lets users generate impressive images by simply typing a prompt, as well as ChatGPT, which can deliver well-written answers to all kinds of queries--and could help Microsoft's Bing search engine challenge Google's dominance.

As the artificial intelligence (AI) technology continues to advance, it is likely that it will begin to reduce employment for college-educated workers in the next five years. According to experts, ChatGPT, a generative AI tool released by OpenAI, is just one of many tools that have the potential to cause mass job loss among highly educated workers. ChatGPT, which stands for "Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer," is an AI content creator that can generate text quickly and cheaply. The technology has already been used by students to help them write essays, businesses to create copy for their websites and promotional materials, and even lawyers to produce legal briefs. However, as the technology becomes more advanced, it may also put copywriters, journalists, customer-service agents, paralegals, coders, and digital marketers out of a job. According to an Oxford study, as much as 47% of U.S. jobs may be at risk due to the advancements in AI technology.

Generative artificial intelligence, tech that can invent virtually any content someone can think up and type into a text box, is garnering not just venture investment in Silicon Valley but interest in Davos at the World Economic Forum's annual meeting this week. Defining the category is ChatGPT, a chatbot that the startup called OpenAI released in November. The tech works by learning from vast amounts of data how to answer any prompt by a user in a human-like way, offering information like a search engine would or prose like an aspiring novelist. Executives have floated wide-ranging applications for the nascent technology, from use as a programming assistant to a step forward in the global race for AI and military supremacy. Conference goers with a major stake in the development of the technology include Microsoft, whose chief executive, Satya Nadella, said the tech's progress has not been linear.

When fed a sufficient amount of training data, artificial intelligence techniques can be used to generate new ideas in several different ways. Is that creativity?

Conditional generative models such as DALL-E and Stable Diffusion generate images based on a user-defined text, the prompt. Finding and refining prompts that produce a desired image has become the art of prompt engineering. Generative models do not provide a built-in retrieval model for a user's information need expressed through prompts. In light of an extensive literature review, we reframe prompt engineering for generative models as interactive text-based retrieval on a novel kind of "infinite index". We apply these insights for the first time in a case study on image generation for game design with an expert. Finally, we envision how active learning may help to guide the retrieval of generated images.

The term "generative AI" is used to describe AI systems that can create new information from scratch, as opposed to merely evaluating or acting on preexisting data. Avatars on social media sites and text-to-image converters have both made generative AI more accessible to the general public in recent weeks. The widespread implementation of AI will have far-reaching consequences for the future of business, affecting everything from daily operations to product development to worldwide expansion. Generative AI has impressive capabilities and a wide range of possible implementations. Blog entries, code, poetry, FAQ responses, sentiment analysis, artwork, and even films are just some of the textual and visual outputs of generative AI models.

We can easily drown in water. But it has no intent. And the challenge that humans face when it comes to water is learning to swim, building boats and dams, and finding ways to wield its power. "You can make two images, and it's cool, but you make 100,000 images, and you have an actual physical sensation of drowning," says Holz in an interview with Fortune. "So we are trying to figure out how do you teach people to swim? And how do you build these boats that let them navigate and be empowered and sort of sail the ocean of imagination, instead of just drowning?"

Artificial Intelligence (AI) surged in popularity last year, as both businesses and the public saw first-hand examples of its potential applications. Companies like OpenAI released a wave of public demos, such as the advanced chatbot ChatGPT that has drawn the attention of Microsoft. Text-to-image generators such as Dall-E 2, Midjourney and Stable Diffusion took the limelight, as millions of users began to create their own AI-generated art, to the anger of artists and companies such as Getty Images. In its tech predictions for 2023, Dell Technologies Ireland said AI could become the "main engine of innovation" for the year, as more organisations adopt the technology to harness the full potential of data and support teams across a business. The sector has shown no sign of slowing down so far this year, with OpenAI reportedly in talks to raise funds at a $29bn valuation, Apple rolling out an AI audio narration tool and Microsoft researching an AI model that can simulate anyone's voice from only three seconds of audio.

Faculty from the Stanford Accelerator for Learning are already thinking about the ways in which ChatGPT and other generative artificial intelligence will change and contribute to education in particular. Victor Lee, associate professor of education and the faculty lead for the accelerator initiative on generative AI in education, stresses the importance of educators in harnessing this technology. "If we want generative AI to meaningfully improve education," he says, "there is the obvious step we need to take of listening to the existing expertise in education -- from educators, parents, students, and scholars who have spent years studying education -- and using what we learn to find the most pertinent and valuable use cases for generative AI in a very complicated educational system." Over the next several weeks, the Stanford Accelerator for Learning will launch listening sessions and gatherings with educators to strategize a path for generative AI. Says Lee, "We need the use of this technology to be ethical, equitable, and accountable."
