New York City schools ban AI chatbot that writes essays and answers prompts
New York City schools have banned ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence chatbot that generates human-like writing including essays, amid fears that students could use it to cheat. According to the city's education department, the tool will be forbidden across all devices and networks in New York's public schools. Jenna Lyle, a department spokesperson, said the decision stems from "concerns about negative impacts on student learning, and concerns regarding the safety and accuracy of contents". ChatGPT was created by OpenAI, an independent artificial intelligence research foundation co-founded by Elon Musk in 2015. Released last November, OpenAI's chatbot is able to create stunningly human-like responses to a wide range of questions and various writing prompts. ChatGPT is trained on a large sample of text taken from the internet and interacts with users in a dialogue format.
New York City public schools ban OpenAI's ChatGPT
On Tuesday, New York City public schools banned ChatGPT from school devices and WiFi networks. The artificial intelligence-powered chatbot, released by OpenAI in November, quickly gained a foothold with the public -- and drew the ire of concerned organizations. In this case, the worry is that students will stunt their learning by cheating on tests and turning in essays they didn't write. ChatGPT (short for "generative pre-trained transformer") is a startlingly impressive application, a sneak preview of the light and dark sides of AI's incredible power. Like a text-producing version of AI art (OpenAI is the same company behind DALL-E 2), it can answer fact-based questions and write essays and articles that are often difficult to discern from human-written content.
ChatGPT Banned in New York City Public Schools Over Cheating Concerns
New York City public schools banned access to ChatGPT, an artificial-intelligence chatbot, on its internet networks and school devices after officials raised concerns that students could use the AI program to answer questions, do homework or write essays. ChatGPT quickly drew attention from the public and students after its November release, with some industry observers calling it one of the most intelligent AI applications ever created. The program crossed a million users a few days after its launch. And its popularity has been a boon to its developer, OpenAI, which the Journal reported this week is in talks to sell shares at a $29 billion valuation. That would make it one of the most valuable U.S. startups, on paper.
ChatGPT AI software integrated into Bing to compete with Google
Microsoft is introducing the AI chatbot ChatGPT into its Bing search engine from March, in partnership with the software's developer OpenAI In an attempt to compete with Google in the search engine space, Microsoft aims to improve the user experience of Bing through more intuitive chatbot capabilities, while looking to maximise value of its $1bn 2019 investment in OpenAI, reported The Information. Since its launch in November 2022, ChatGPT has demonstrated widespread capability to answer queries from users with immediate answers -- akin to Amazon's Alexa digital assistant -- which may include business plans, language translations, and even jokes, depending on the initial input. The software was released on a short-term basis as a research tool, while development of the core "large language model" GPT continues. While trained by millions of terms from the Internet and managed by ranking of responses by human staff, its developer OpenAI has insisted that the bot can be incorrect, with its knowledge base currently not extending beyond 2021. OpenAI, claims to be a "capped profit" company, with profits limited to 100 times investment, and funding from Microsoft has allowed for commercialisation of its software. Elon Musk and Sam Altman established OpenAI as a research institute in 2015, with the aim of ensuring that artificial general intelligence can be rolled out safely at scale to benefit society.
Alluxio Founder and CEO Reveals Top Data Predictions for 2023
Alluxio's Founder and CEO Haoyuan (H.Y.) Li forecasts major developments in cloud, data and analytics, AI and storage in 2023. Data strategies will continue to require solutions that enable enterprises to scale complex analytics workloads across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Trend 1: Multi cloud adoption is accelerating as organizations' data strategies evolve As more organizations evolve their data strategies in 2023, multi-cloud data infrastructure adoption is accelerating and will become the new norm. Organizations are expected to embrace this trend and ensure their cloud applications are portable regardless of cloud provider. More organizations will transform cloud computing into an undifferentiated commodity and ease application burden.
ChatGPT could soon be the better way to Google
A new chatbot from OpenAI took the internet by storm this week, dashing off poems, screenplays and essay answers that were plastered as screenshots all over Twitter by the breathless technoratti. Though the underlying technology has been around for a few years, this was the first time OpenAI has brought its powerful language-generating system known as GPT3 to the masses, prompting a race by humans to give it the most inventive commands. Beyond the gimmicky demos, some people are already finding practical uses for ChatGPT, including programmers who are using it to draft code or spot errors. But the system's biggest utility could be a financial disaster for Google by supplying superior answers to the queries we currently put to the world's most powerful search engine. This could be due to a conflict with your ad-blocking or security software. Please add japantimes.co.jp and piano.io to your list of allowed sites.
Picsart's AI-powered SketchAI app turns images and outlines into digital art โข TechCrunch
Riding the generative AI wave, Picsart, the developer behind various photo and video editing apps for the web and mobile devices, is introducing a new iOS app that transforms photos and drawings into digital art. Called SketchAI, the app lets users sketch a picture or upload an existing image and apply different artistic styles to it. SketchAI is easy enough to use. It features several pre-selected styles that can applied to creations, including ink drawing, pencil sketch, and the artist-inspired "Da Vinci" and "Van Gogh." In addition to sketching or uploading a photo, users can add a prompt describing an image (e.g.
ChatGPT, Lensa, Stable Diffusion, and DALL-E: Generative AI, explained - Vox
Artificial intelligence is suddenly everywhere -- or at least, that's what it seems like to me: A few weeks ago, a friend mentioned in passing that his law professor had warned students not to cheat with AI on an upcoming exam. At the same time, I couldn't escape the uncanny portraits people were generating with the image-editing app Lensa AI's new Magic Avatar feature and then sharing on social media. A guy on Twitter even used OpenAI's new machine learning-powered chatbot, ChatGPT, to imitate what I said on a recent podcast (which, coincidentally, was also about ChatGPT) and posted it online.
