Human-computer interaction (HCI) and artificial intelligence (AI) recently took another step into the future. OpenAI's ChatGPT has swept headlines and captivated nearly 500 million users, since its November 2022 launch.1,2 Psychiatry is no stranger to HCI. ELIZA, a computer program created by Joseph Weizenbaum of MIT in the 1960s, introduced how simple communication patterns provided by artificial means can illicit very real human emotion. Although our lifestyle has evolved drastically, the fundamental structure of our brains is quite like those of our ancestors 200,000 years ago.

AI and crypto are trying to combine forces. FalconX's new trading bot, Satoshi, may be their first major breakthrough together. Artificial intelligence could soon be making waves in the cryptocurrency business, though perhaps not in the way you think. Rather than merging the two technologies, San Francisco-based prime broker FalconX plans to put a chatbot in the co-pilot's seat for investors. Using technology created by OpenAI, whose ChatGPT program is helping companies like Microsoft rewire online search, FalconX clients will be able pose questions like "What are the three biggest differences between two blockchain platforms?"

Italy's data protection authority has said that it's willing to lift its ChatGPT ban if OpenAI meets specific conditions. The Guarantor for the Protection of Personal Data (GPDP) announced last month that it was blocking access to OpenAI's ChatGPT. The move was part of an ongoing investigation into whether the chatbot violated Italy's data privacy laws and the EU's infamous General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The GPDP was concerned that ChatGPT could recall and emit personal information, such as phone numbers and addresses, from input queries. Additionally, officials were worried that the chatbot could expose minors to inappropriate answers that could potentially be harmful.

Today's date is April 13th, 2023. Since the public unveiling of ChatGPT couple of months ago, a large language model developed by OpenAI, we have been experiencing a continuous, probably exponential, advancement in AI which could cause the world, as we know it today, to be completely different in just a couple of years. One of the latest ground breaking experiments involved enabling GPT Agents to speak with each other, with a human merely specifying the context of the conversation before hand, e.g. "find a potential cure for cancer" and the two agents would start researching and dig deeper and browse the internet, perform researches, run simulations and do calculations that would be unfeasible for most researchers to do. If we'd compare AI to a human, then it would be only a couple of weeks old.

Whether or not we're still talking about ChatGPT in a year remains to be seen, but right now, the generative AI chatbot is all the rage. You've probably already used ChatGPT on OpenAI's website, but did you know that you can bring ChatGPT with you anywhere you go? Ever since ChatGPT launched last November, developers have been incorporating the AI into their apps. Here are five of the best ChatGPT iOS apps currently on the App Store. One of our favorite conversational AI apps is Perplexity.

Because of the variability of results from LLMs, like ChatGPT, the AI industry has recently come up with a new specialist role, the "Prompt Engineer", whose job it is to extract the maximum value from AI models. This role, typically recruited from people with a "hacker mindset", consists of constructing carefully phrased prompts that explain to the AI model exactly what they want and how they want it. The role is now so in demand, that AI companies, flush with cash, are paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to people with the right skills, or aptitude. It's tempting to imagine that the work of a Prompt Engineer involves spending all day long at a computer shooting riddles at ChatGPT to see if it can solve them, and then adjusting the model to get the best results. Whilst most AI companies have teams responsible for testing the pre-trained model and implementing safety measures to reduce bias and hateful outcomes, this process typically occurs before the AI model is made available to the general public.

"ChatGPT is a very impressive tool," says Zijian Hong, professor at the School of Materials Science and Engineering, Zhejiang University, China, and author of a new work published in the journal Energy Material Advances. "As a computational materials scientist, I'm always eager to embrace new tools, in particular, new tools in computer science and AI. Since the born of the new ChatGPT, I'm just wondering whether such a tool can assist us in computational materials science." Hong explained that for a computational materials task, there are three main steps: building a model or a structure, writing codes for specific scientific software, and preparing data visualization scripts. To test the capability of ChatGPT, he examined it from these aspects.

Amazon is making its AI-powered coding assistant free for individual developers, undercutting the $10 per month pricing of its Microsoft-made rival. In a post shared on Thursday, Amazon announced that its CodeWhisperer tool is now available to everyone who signs up to use it. Amazon launched CodeWhisperer as a preview last year, which developers can use within various integrated development environments (IDEs), like Visual Studio Code, to generate lines of code based on a text-based prompt. While it was originally only made available to Amazon Web Services customers, the newly announced free tier should make it much more accessible to developers who don't use AWS. CodeWhisperer automatically filters out any code suggestions that are potentially biased or unfair and flags any code that's similar to open-source training data.

China's top digital regulator proposed bold new guidelines this week that prohibit ChatGPT-style large language models from spitting out content believed to subvert state power or advocate for the overthrow of the country's communist political system. Experts speaking with Gizmodo said the new guidelines mark the clearest signs yet of Chinese authorities' eagerness to extend its hardline online censorship apparatus to the emerging world of generative artificial intelligence. "We should be under no illusions. The Party will wield the new Generative AI Guidelines to carry out the same function of censorship, surveillance, and information manipulation it has sought to justify under other laws and regulations," Michael Caster, Asia Digital Programme Manager for Article 19, a human rights organization focused on online free expression, told Gizmodo. The draft guidelines, published by the Cyberspace Administration of China, come hot on the heels of new generative AI products from Baidu, Alibaba, and other Chinese tech giants.
