For decades, Microsoft was unable to "reinvent" the browser, sticking to its obsolete Internet Explorer until it got replaced by Edge, based on Google's Chromium. But now, according to the tech dinosaur, it is nothing less than "reinventing" both Bing, its search engine, and Edge, by making them "AI-powered." It is an undertaking Microsoft is carrying out together with OpenAI. Microsoft is a major investor (the figure reportedly runs into billions) in OpenAI, an artificial intelligence lab, so it's no surprise they would be partnering to "innovate." And they are doing it "responsibly," meaning that, "safeguards to defend against harmful content" and "address issues such as misinformation and disinformation (…) and preventing the promotion of harmful or discriminatory content" will be implemented.

The Arena Group, which licenses the rights to publish Sports Illustrated, says it plans to use AI tools across its brands. Sports Illustrated publisher Arena Group is investing in artificial intelligence (AI) to help produce articles and suggest story ideas through partnerships with AI startups Jasper and Nota, as well as ChatGPT creator OpenAI. The company said AI had already been used to compose articles in Men's Journal; a disclosure at the top of the articles describes them as "a curation of expert advice from Men's Fitness, using deep-learning tools for retrieval combined with OpenAI's large language model for various stages of the workflow." Arena Group's Ross Levinsohn said AI will not replace content creation but will give authors "real efficiency and real access to the archives we have." He also said AI might help suggest emerging topics on social media for journalists to investigate.

As OpenAI's release of ChatGPT in late 2022 and expected release of GPT-4 in 2023 continues to garner widespread attention, there is renewed focus on both opportunities and risks presented by the use of artificial intelligence ("AI"). With this focus comes the inevitable call for regulation. At the end of 2022, the U.S. White House weighed in through what it calls an "AI Bill of Rights" for the American public, a non-binding policy document. Banks and others in financial services should take note of the particular civil rights, privacy, and other priorities expressed in this vision for the future of AI governance. In financial services, technologies deploying some element of AI are expected to increase but already abound.

Furthering its range of expertise, ChatGPT scored a 50 percent accuracy rate on the multiple-choice component of the Bar Exam, or the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE). The Bar Exam is the test that law school graduates need to pass in order to officially practice law and is composed of three parts, with the MBE being the first. GPT-3.5 reached the average passing rate for Torts and Evidence, which are two of the seven subject areas. The researchers concluded that due to these results, a large language model such as GPT will be able to "pass the MBE component of the Bar Exam in the near future."

By Divyanshi Sharma: Microsoft and ChatGPT's association dates a long time back. The tech giant had invested in OpenAI, the parent company of ChatGPT, years ago and recently the two companies further strengthened their partnership. Microsoft has been making headlines these days after it announced the all-new Bing, with enhanced AI capabilities aimed at redefining the way people look things up online. And now, Microsoft's co-founder, Bill Gates, has also expressed his views on ChatGPT and has said that it will'change the world'. A Reuters report originally attributed to a German daily, Handelsblatt, quotes Bill Gates saying that ChatGPT will make office jobs easier and will change the world that we live in.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman (left) and Meta AI chief Yann LeCun (right) have differing views on the future ... [ ] of large language models. In case you haven't heard, artificial intelligence is the hot new thing. Generative AI seems to be on the lips of every venture capitalist, entrepreneur, Fortune 500 CEO and journalist these days, from Silicon Valley to Davos. To those who started paying real attention to AI in 2022, it may seem that technologies like ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion came out of nowhere to take the world by storm. Back in 2020, we wrote an article in this column predicting that generative AI would be one of the pillars of the next generation of artificial intelligence. Since at least the release of GPT-2 in 2019, it has been clear to those working in the field that generative language models were poised to unleash vast economic and societal transformation.

In January, Jennifer Newton asked how long it would be until an AI was listed among the authors on a research paper. Well, it turns out the answer was not very long at all. ChatGPT, the generative text algorithm that has rapidly become a cultural phenomenon, was recently listed as a co-author on several papers. Publishers have responded with a ban on the grounds that a machine cannot meet the criteria of responsibility and accountability required of authors. Yet as Holden Thorp noted in a recent Science editorial, a bigger issue might be that when ChatGPT's contributions aren't disclosed, we simply won't know.

There have been a lot of hot technologies to generate a buzz over the years, but this one feels a bit different. The rapid adoption of ChatGPT and other generative AI tech has led to a major investment and opportunity for Microsoft (followed by a buggy demo of Google''s AI ChatGPT competitor, Bard), and the halo effect of anything related to Artificial Intelligence has spread from tech stocks to crypto and across almost any function and industry you can imagine. The growth of ChatGPT's user base in particular has been incredible and has created a widespread excitement far beyond most of other recently hyped tech. It's not often that an early stage technology like this has captured such mainstream attention. Despite the mad dash to get involved in everything AI and feel of a potential bubble around the space, this technology has the potential to be a true game changer in a number of areas including education, programming, content creation and, yes, real estate.

Microsoft has infused its Bing search engine with the ChatGPT text generation AI taking the world by storm and a lot of users want to give it a shot. After a brief media preview last week, the company opened a sign-up system, but access to the full-power search was restricted in favor of a few canned responses. According to emails sent out early this week, a few Microsoft users now have access to the whole kit and kaboodle. The ChatGPT system allows Bing to return complex textual responses to natural language questions in English. For the moment the interface is desktop-only, though mobile versions should be coming to phones and tablets eventually.

Originally published on Towards AI. With ChatGPT blowing the internet, we are at a critical juncture that demands us to again ask hard questions about the impact of AI models on society, a conversation that starts but never ends. In this article, I aim to bring attention to the importance of knowing that, even though large AI models are impressive, there are often unacknowledged costs behind them. It is like saying " data is the new oil" to describe its value, but this analogy often ignores the costs of the oil and mining industries. To understand what AI is made from, we need to leave Silicon Valley and go to the place where the stuff for the AI industry is made. The term "artificial intelligence" may evoke the ideas of algorithms and data, but it is powered by the rare earth's minerals and resources that make up the computing components [1].
