Flutter Google cross-platform UI framework has released a new version 1.20 stable. Flutter is Google's UI framework to make apps for Android, iOS, Web, Windows, Mac, Linux, and Fuchsia OS. Since the last 2 years, the flutter Framework has already achieved popularity among mobile developers to develop Android and iOS apps. In the last few releases, Flutter also added the support of making web applications and desktop applications. Last month they introduced the support of the Linux desktop app that can be distributed through Canonical Snap Store(Snapcraft), this enables the developers to publish there Linux desktop app for their users and publish on Snap Store.

A new joint report entitled A New National Purpose, which explores how the UK can harness innovative technologies to meet future challenges, has recently been published by Tony Blair and William Hague. The "cross-party" report argues that we are currently undergoing a new form of Industrial Revolution "as developments in artificial intelligence (AI), biotech, climate tech and other fields begin to change our economic and social systems". It calls for policymakers to mitigate the consequent threats whilst embracing opportunities. Several of its proposals touch upon the convergence of law and technology, and we will consider some of these aspects below. Perhaps unsurprisingly, given Tony Blair's foiled aspirations to introduce digital ID during his premiership, much of the press attention has focused on the report's call for the government to "provide a secure, private, decentralised digital-ID system for the benefit of both citizens and businesses".

Artificial intelligence scientist Ben Goertzel said that generative AI models and tools like ChatGPT could replace many tasks performed by humans. Most people's jobs do not require'incredible' creativity or innovation, added Goertzel, who is also the co-developer of Sophia, the humanoid robot. He said that AI could be used for tasks like copy editing, writing sport score summaries, and weather reports, as reported by ZDNet. He further said with these tools automating major portions of people's jobs would lead to industry reshuffling and reassigning job duties. He, however, said that AI will not be able to replace jobs that rely on human interaction and the ones that require creativity. Generative AI replacing or automating tasks has been a hot topic of discussion.

The new video-generation systems could speed the work of moviemakers and other digital artists, while becoming a new and quick way to create hard-to-detect online misinformation, making it even harder to tell what's real on the internet. The systems are examples of what is known as generative A.I., which can instantly create text, images and sounds. Another example is ChatGPT, the online chatbot made by a San Francisco start-up, OpenAI, that stunned the tech industry with its abilities late last year. Google and Meta, Facebook's parent company, unveiled the first video-generation systems last year, but did not share them with the public because they were worried that the systems could eventually be used to spread disinformation with newfound speed and efficiency. But Runway's chief executive, Cristóbal Valenzuela, said he believed the technology was too important to keep in a research lab, despite its risks.

The AI wars are heating up. Smelling blood in the water, Microsoft has been working tirelessly to bake ChatGPT AI models into virtually all of its products. So far, the most prolific example of that has been Bing Chat. Bing Chat is a new section on Microsoft's oft-derided number 2 search engine that allows users to search with natural human language, and receive natural human language results in return. Powered by OpenAI's ChatGPT-4, Bing has exclusive rights to commercial use of the machine learning models from the firm, prompting a furor of panic at search leader Google.

Originally published on Towards AI. In the last few years, if you google healthcare or clinical NLP, you would see that the search results are blanketed by a few names like John Snow Labs (JSL), Linguamatics (IQVIA), Oncoustics, BotMD, Inspirata. All of these companies were founded between 2013–2016 in various parts of the world. Soon to be followed by large general language models like BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers). In hindsight, these companies might have been too early in their evolution, as they missed the boat by being early on what groundbreaking advances OpenAI brought to the world.

Originally published on Towards AI. Artificial Intelligence surely is at a great pace these days. Many big tech firms and individuals are diving into the pool of artificial intelligence to keep up with the technologies and launch their versions of AI models. Not very long ago only, ChatGPT, an OpenAI's creation, was launched. This AI model gained popularity immediately after its launch.

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve, so do the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). These models use machine learning algorithms to understand and generate human language, making it easier for humans to interact with machines. Microsoft Research Asia has taken this technology a step further by introducing VisualGPT. This AI model incorporates Visual Foundation Models (VFM) to enhance the understanding, generation, and editing of visual information. ChatGPT uses natural language processing (NLP) techniques to generate responses to user input.

Are you scared yet, human? Artificial intelligence (AI) has proliferated with transformative effects in recent years, in sectors from autonomous vehicles to personalised shopping. But the latest deployment of AI to generate content such as text, images or audio has caused quite a stir. ChatGPT, a particularly superior language model, even passed the US medical speciality exam. That's not to say there haven't been some bloopers.
