Humans are hard-wired to dream, to create, to innovate. Each of us seeks to do work that gives us purpose -- to write a great novel, to make a discovery, to build strong communities, to care for the sick. The urge to connect to the core of our work lives in all of us. But today, we spend too much time consumed by the drudgery of work on tasks that zap our time, creativity and energy. To reconnect to the soul of our work, we don't just need a better way of doing the same things.

Despite ChatGPT's potential to benefit daily lives including helping users create well-written texts and letters, some of its users are targeting internet users for personal information and monetary gain. Since its launch in November of last year, ChatGPT has rapidly gained widespread popularity among users across the world. However, several reports have emerged in recent weeks suggesting that scammers are misusing the language-based AI platform. For all the latest headlines follow our Google News channel online or via the app. Criminals can feed examples of text from entities or people they seek to emulate, and ChatGPT is equipped to create convincing messages based on them.

OpenAI has revealed that GPT-4, the latest version of its primary large language model, exhibits "human-level performance" on various professional and academic tests, including passing a simulated bar exam in the top 10% of test takers. The update is a huge improvement from GPT-3.5, which scored around the bottom 10%, OpenAI said in an announcement Tuesday. GPT-4, which learns its skills by analyzing huge amounts of data culled from the internet, was designed to power artificial intelligence chatbots such as Bing's AI chat and OpenAI's ChatGPT as well as various other systems, from business software to personal online tutors. OpenAI said in a blog post that the new model is "more creative and collaborative than ever before" and "can solve difficult problems with greater accuracy, thanks to its broader general knowledge and problem-solving abilities." "The difference comes out when the complexity of the task reaches a sufficient threshold," OpenAI wrote.

Microsoft is announcing a new AI-powered Copilot for its Microsoft 365 apps and services today, designed to assist people with generating documents, emails, presentations, and much more. The Copilot, powered by GPT-4 from OpenAI, will sit alongside Microsoft 365 apps much like an assistant (remember Clippy?), appearing in the sidebar as a chatbot that allows Office users to summon it to generate text in documents, create PowerPoint presentations based on Word documents, or even help use features like PivotTables in Excel. Microsoft's Copilot leaked earlier today.

OpenAI's ChatGPT has made the public aware of the insane power, potential and threat of large language models. The ripples from ChatGPT's launch late last year are being felt in every industry – you can't responsibly plan for the future of nearly any business without factoring in how these ludicrously capable and seemingly intelligent bots are going to disrupt nearly every process. When OpenAI released the even more astonishing GPT-4 a couple of days ago, it did so with a measure of trepidation. As outlined in the GPT-4 paper, the language model itself was built and pre-trained some eight months ago, and the company spent that eight months working feverishly to make it safe and sanitized for public consumption. Knowing that many competitors are working on similar AI models, OpenAI recognized that launching this thing would kick off a furious technology race – and that when a "racing dynamic" develops, other companies would be forced by their shareholders and customers to accelerate their own AI programs.

Tech research company OpenAI has just released an updated version of its text-generating artificial intelligence program, called GPT-4, and demonstrated some of the language model's new abilities. Not only can GPT-4 produce more natural-sounding text and solve problems more accurately than its predecessor. It can also process images in addition to text. But the AI is still vulnerable to some of the same problems that plagued earlier GPT models: displaying bias, overstepping the guardrails intended to prevent it from saying offensive or dangerous things and "hallucinating," or confidently making up falsehoods not found in its training data. On Twitter, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman described the model as the company's "most capable and aligned" to date.

During an AI-focused press event today, Microsoft unveiled Microsoft 365 Copilot, its latest push to embed its suite of productivity and enterprise apps with AI. Currently in testing with select (around 20) commercial customers, Copilot combines the power of AI models including OpenAI's recently announced GPT-4 with business data and Microsoft 365 apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams. "Today marks the next major step in the evolution of how we interact with computing, which will fundamentally change the way we work and unlock a new wave of productivity growth," Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in a statement. Copilot handles different tasks depending on the app in which it's used. For example, in Word, Copilot writes, edits, summarizes and generates text, while in PowerPoint and Excel, Copilot turns natural language commands into designed presentations and data visualizations.

Google has been revolutionizing the way we search for information on the internet, with its ground-breaking advancements in AI-powered search tools such as Google Search and Google Voice. Now, it's taking things one step further by introducing its latest breakthrough – an AI-based chatbot called Google Bard that allows users to interactively query through natural language conversations. It could be game-changing for businesses that are looking for alternatives to traditional search methods that enable them to access tailored results more quickly and efficiently. By leveraging powerful machine learning algorithms and conversational interfaces, Bard translates spoken commands into meticulous searches of the web, allowing organizations of all sizes to get better insights faster than ever before. Stay tuned here as we provide a deep dive into how Bard is shaking up the world of enterprise search!

GPT-4 is "multimodal", which means it can generate content from both image and text prompts. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GPT-4 AND GPT-3.5? GPT-3.5 takes only text prompts, whereas the latest version of the large language model can also use images as inputs to recognize objects in a picture and analyze them. GPT-3.5 is limited to about 3,000-word responses, while GPT-4 can generate responses of more than 25,000 words. GPT-4 is 82% less likely to respond to requests for disallowed content than its predecessor and scores 40% higher on certain tests of factuality.

OpenAI's latest release, GPT-4, is the most powerful and impressive AI model yet from the company behind ChatGPT and the Dall-E AI artist. The system can pass the bar exam, solve logic puzzles, and even give you a recipe to use up leftovers based on a photo of your fridge – but its creators warn it can also spread fake facts, embed dangerous ideologies, and even trick people into doing tasks on its behalf. Here's what you need to know about our latest AI overlord. GPT-4 is, at heart, a machine for creating text. But it is a very good one, and to be very good at creating text turns out to be practically similar to being very good at understanding and reasoning about the world. And so if you give GPT-4 a question from a US bar exam, it will write an essay that demonstrates legal knowledge; if you give it a medicinal molecule and ask for variations, it will seem to apply biochemical expertise; and if you ask it to tell you a gag about a fish, it will seem to have a sense of humour – or at least a good memory for bad cracker jokes ("what do you get when you cross a fish and an elephant?
