The leaps AI made last year are expected to boost the digital transformation of businesses, while disrupting various sectors such as cybersecurity and autotech. Artificial intelligence (AI) surged in popularity last year, as both businesses and the public saw first-hand examples of its potential applications. Companies such as OpenAI released a wave of public demos, including the advanced chatbot ChatGPT which 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, much 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.

Some early adopters are already experimenting with the generative AI program ChatGPT at the office. In seconds, consultants are conjuring decks and memos, marketers are cranking out fresh copy and software engineers are debugging code. Almost 30% of the nearly 4,500 professionals surveyed this month by Fishbowl, a social platform owned by employer review site Glassdoor, said that they've already used OpenAI's ChatGPT or another artificial intelligence program in their work. Respondents include employees at Amazon, Bank of America, JPMorgan, Google, Twitter and Meta. The chatbot uses generative AI to spit out human-like responses to prompts in seconds, but because it's been trained on information publicly available from the internet, books and Wikipedia, the answers aren't always accurate.

In generative AI, those assumptions don't necessarily hold true. Across app companies we've spoken with, there's a wide range of gross margins -- as high as 90% in a few cases but more often as low as 50-60%, driven largely by the cost of model inference. Top-of-funnel growth has been amazing, but it's unclear if current customer acquisition strategies will be scalable -- we're already seeing paid acquisition efficacy and retention start to tail off. Many apps are also relatively undifferentiated, since they rely on similar underlying AI models and haven't discovered obvious network effects, or data/workflows, that are hard for competitors to duplicate.

When the company OpenAI launched its new artificial intelligence program, ChatGPT, in late 2022, educators began to worry. ChatGPT could generate text that seemed like a human wrote it. How could teachers detect whether students were using language generated by an AI chatbot to cheat on a writing assignment? As a linguist who studies the effects of technology on how people read, write and think, I believe there are other, equally pressing concerns besides cheating. These include whether AI, more generally, threatens student writing skills, the value of writing as a process, and the importance of seeing writing as a vehicle for thinking.

The often delightful and arresting images created by the latest generation of text-to-image generators, exemplified by DALL-E 2, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion, have stirred up lots of buzz in both the arts and the AI worlds. The images, generated from simple text prompts (e.g., a baboon sailing a colorful dinghy), look very much like the products of intelligent human creativity. To explore just how creative these models really are and what they can teach us about the nature of our own innovative propensities, we asked four authorities on artificial intelligence, the brain, and creativity (and we also asked GPT-3, a language-generating model that's a close cousin to DALL-E) to explain what they think of DALL-E's capabilities and artistic potential. DALL-E starts by taking billions of bits of text from the internet and translating them into an abstraction, which it stores in a location in "latent," or logical, space. In the universe of describable things, for example, "baboon" will be "located" by strong associations near to other primates, probably not far from "Africa," "savanna," or "zoo."

Check out all the on-demand sessions from the Intelligent Security Summit here. In a blog post this evening, Microsoft announced the general availability of Azure OpenAI Service, which allows businesses to power their apps with large-scale AI models, including GPT-3.5, DALL-E 2, and Codex. According to a press statement, availability is "restricted to customers who meet and adhere to the standards for responsible and ethical AI principles that Microsoft has set and published (linked here). Customers are required to apply for access describing their intended use-case or application before they are given access to the service." Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella tweeted the announcement, adding that "ChatGPT is coming soon to the Azure OpenAI Service, which is now generally available, as we help customers apply the world's most advanced AI models to their own business imperatives."

Generative AI systems fall under the broad category of machine learning, and here's how one such system--ChatGPT--describes what it can do: Ready to take your creativity to the next level? Look no further than generative AI! This nifty form of machine learning allows computers to generate all sorts of new and exciting content, from music and art to entire virtual worlds. And it's not just for fun--generative AI has plenty of practical uses too, like creating new product designs and optimizing business processes. Unleash the power of generative AI and see what amazing creations you can come up with! Did anything in that paragraph seem off to you?

Are you ready to revolutionise the world of 3D AI? From gaming to architecture to product design, the potential for this technology is endless. And now we're on the cusp of a breakthrough that will change everything: 3D model generators. OpenAI has already made waves with its open-source Point-E, a machine learning system that creates a 3D object from a text prompt. But let's face it, there are limitations to this solution. That's why I'm excited to share with you new methods that are set to take the 3D world by storm.
