MIT's 10 breakthrough technologies for 2023: Abortion pills via telehealth and engineered organs
Engineered organs that could end transplant waiting lists, abortion pills on demand and mass-marketing military drones that will revolutionize warfare are among those listed on MIT Technology Review's 10 Breakthrough Technologies of 2023. The list also includes the use of CRISPR to edit away people's problems with high cholesterol by rewriting a sliver of their DNA, artificial intelligence that makes artwork and NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, which is set to remodel our knowledge of the cosmos. The 22nd annual list features critical technological advances predicted to change how we live and work fundamentally. MIT Technology Review, owned by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, compiled the list of companies or institutions set to develop breakthroughs and when the public can expect these innovations. Mat Honan, editor-in-chief of MIT Technology Review, said: 'Our breakthrough technologies lists are fascinating snapshots of the evolution of big tech innovation breakthroughs.
How ChatGPT Will Destabilize White-Collar Work - The Atlantic
In the next five years, it is likely that AI will begin to reduce employment for college-educated workers. As the technology continues to advance, it will be able to perform tasks that were previously thought to require a high level of education and skill. This could lead to a displacement of workers in certain industries, as companies look to cut costs by automating processes. While it is difficult to predict the exact extent of this trend, it is clear that AI will have a significant impact on the job market for college-educated workers. It will be important for individuals to stay up to date on the latest developments in AI and to consider how their skills and expertise can be leveraged in a world where machines are increasingly able to perform many tasks.
Forget Clippy. Microsoft's new killer app is ChatGPT.
That's the bullish view, and it's one that you'll hear a lot in Silicon Valley and Seattle these days. While Google, Microsoft, and other tech giants have been testing and honing AI models for years, a new crop of risk-taking upstarts has stolen their thunder by taking their experimental AI programs directly to the public. The release of tools like ChatGPT, DALLE-2, Stability AI's Stable Diffusion and Midjourney in the past year has made "generative AI" -- software that draws on vast data sets to create novel works -- the industry's buzziest byword.
On National Security
Artificial intelligence had a huge moment in 2022. The chatbot ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, gained notoriety for its ability to engage in seemingly human-like conversations, sparking curiosity and serious conversations about where this technology is headed. Applications in national security and space are poised to benefit from this new age of AI, says technologist Patrick Biltgen, principal at the defense and intelligence contractor Booz Allen Hamilton. He says the industry is just beginning to grasp the potential of so-called generative AI, with tools like ChatGPT that create coherent and convincing written content and models like DALL-E 2 that come up with realistic images from a description in natural language. Defense and aerospace organizations have long sought AI for its ability to automate tasks, shorten decision cycles and bring autonomy into systems.
How to Spot AI-Generated Art, According to Artists
How long will the naked eye be able to spot the difference between images made by generative artificial intelligence and art created by humans? Ari Melenciano, an artist who works at Google's Creative Lab, squints at her computer screen during our Zoom chat and scans artwork created with generative AI. "I mean, I can barely tell the difference now," she says. The public release of AI art tools, like Midjourney and DALL-E 2, has ignited contentious debates among artists, designers, and art fans alike. Many are critical of the fact that the technology's rapid progress was fueled by scraping the internet for publicly posted art and imagery, without credit or compensation to the artists who had their work stolen. "I think the current model of AI art generators is unethical, because of how they collected their data--against the knowledge of, basically, everybody involved," says Jared Krichevsky, a concept artist who designed the memeable AI-bot for the M3GAN movie.
Big tech companies like Microsoft and Alphabet are crowing about A.I. as it lays off tens of thousands of workers
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.
AI Threatening White-Collar Jobs - Tech News Junkies
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.
Davos 2023: CEOs buzz about ChatGPT-style AI at World Economic Forum
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.
