Fresh off the heels of news that Microsoft is making a multibillion-dollar investment into OpenAI, it's integrating the company's tech into more of its products and services. Microsoft has announced that Teams Premium is now broadly available. The service features large language models powered by OpenAI's GPT-3.5, along with other tech geared toward making meetings "more intelligent, personalized and protected," Microsoft says. Teams Premium offers AI-generated chapters in PowerPoint Live and "personalized timeline markers for when you leave and join a meeting." Live translations in captions are currently available too.

I first stumbled upon ChatGPT a month ago, but I never paid attention to it. It was @kenny-crane who became instrumental in me appreciating the power of this AI when I asked a question about practical steps to do to help improve the financial standing of our institution. Hive is a data warehousing system built on top of Hadoop that provides a SQL-like interface for querying and managing large datasets stored in the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) or other storage systems supported by Hadoop. It allows users to create and query tables, insert data into tables, and manage the metadata for the data stored in the warehouse. Hive also supports user-defined functions, which allow developers to extend its functionality with custom code.

Let's use ChatGPT's code generation capabilities to generate a full functional YouTube downloader app in Python without having to write a single line of code by our own! Don't believe this is possible?

That was quick: Artificial intelligence has gone from science fiction to novelty to Thing We Are Sure Is the Future. One easy way to measure the change is via headlines -- like the ones announcing Microsoft's $10 billion investment in OpenAI, the company behind the dazzling ChatGPT text generator, followed by other AI startups looking for big money. Or the ones about school districts frantically trying to cope with students using ChatGPT to write their term papers. Or the ones about digital publishers like CNET and BuzzFeed admitting or bragging that they're using AI to make some of their content -- and investors rewarding them for it. "Up until very recently, these were science experiments nobody cared about," says Mathew Dryhurst, co-founder of the AI startup Spawning.ai.

ChatGPT has been growing at a rate much, much faster than TikTok or any other popular app or service. According to a new study by analytics firm UBS (via Reuters and CBS), the OpenAI-developed chatbot was on pace to reach over 100 million monthly active users in January. The chatbot only became available to the public on November 30th last year, but its rise to fame has apparently been meteoric. Within its first month of availability, it already boasted 57 million monthly active users, the study said. By January, it was already being visited by around 13 million individual users a day.

The team behind the viral artificial intelligence ChatGPT has created a tool that checks if text was written by a human or an AI. It was only recently that OpenAI, the creators behind ChatGPT, talked about how popular their artificial intelligence has gotten since its release. Officials at the company explained that they had no idea that ChatGPT was going to be so popular and that the response they saw from the internet was "definitely surprising". Through ChatGPT's massive popularity, some problems have occurred, such as students using the AI to generate essays and other written work. Since ChatGPT can produce text responses at a very impressive level, educators are having trouble determining if the students' work was written by them or an AI.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning tools like ChatGPT are set to shake up the finance sector, according to a new poll from JP Morgan. Over half of traders surveyed in JP Morgan's eTrading survey felt that AI and machine learning will be the most influential technology over the next three years, a rise of 25 percent from last year. This was a major change from last year when mobile trading applications topped the survey with 29 percent and blockchain technology scored 25 percent. AI and machine learning has had a big impact on traders in recent years. The technology can analyse and process huge amounts of data far more accurately than humans, identifying patterns and trends.

INan unremarkable conference room inside OpenAI's office, insulated from the mid-January rain pelting San Francisco, company president Greg Brockman surveys the "energy levels" of the team overseeing the company's new artificial intelligence model, ChatGPT. "How are we doing between'everything's on fire and everyone's burned out' to'everyone's just back from the holidays and everything's good'? What's the spectrum?" he asks. "I would say the holidays came at just the right time," replies one lieutenant. Within five days of ChatGPT's November launch, 1 million users overloaded its servers with trivia questions, poetry prompts and recipe requests. Open-AI quietly routed some of the load to its training supercomputer, thousands of interconnected graphics processing units (GPUs) custom-built with allies Microsoft and Nvidia, while long-term work on its next models, like the highly anticipated GPT-4, took a back seat. As the group huddles, ChatGPT's at-capacity servers still turn away users.

ChatGPT has captured the public imagination in a way the tech world hasn't seen since the debut of the iPhone in 2007. Why it matters: Most of us are only now getting a glimpse of just how smart artificial intelligence has become. What it is: ChatGPT is a free (for now) site that lets users pose questions and give directions to a bot that can answer with conversation, term papers, sonnets, recipes -- almost anything. In almost any style you specify. The big picture: The possibilities for ChatGPT seem endless.

Samsung's first big tech event of 2023 unveiled three phones and three laptops. The showstoppers are, predictably, the company's premium flagships, the Galaxy S series. The S23 Ultra ($1,199) has a huge 6.8-inch, an S-pen stylus and a 200-megapixel camera. It's the company's first Adaptive Pixel sensor, which means while you can still shoot at 200MP, by default, the system uses pixel-binning to deliver brighter, clearer pictures at 50MP or 12MP. Other upgrades include optical image stabilization that's been effectively doubled for better-lit photos and less shaky video.
