Will artificial intelligence disrupt education and other areas of society? An expert weighs in
A new artificial intelligence system made by the company OpenAI called ChatGPT is raising eyebrows and concern for how the new generation of artificial intelligence is going to affect society. The new AI technology is surprising users by generating responses that seem incredibly intelligent on a myriad of subjects. TPR's Jerry Clayton recently spoke with Dr. Anthony Rios, Assistant Professor of Information Systems & Cyber Security at the University of Texas at San Antonio about how these advancing technologies could change to future. Clayton: Give us a quick overview of what chat GPT actually is. Rios: GPT is basically a language model.
Podcast: Want a job? The AI will see you now
In the past, hiring decisions were made by people. Today, some key decisions that lead to whether someone gets a job or not are made by algorithms. The use of AI-based job interviews has increased since the pandemic. As demand increases, so too do questions about whether these algorithms make fair and unbiased hiring decisions, or find the most qualified applicant. In this second episode of a four-part series on AI in hiring, we meet some of the big players making this technology including the CEOs of HireVue and myInterview--and we test some of these tools ourselves. This miniseries on hiring was reported by Hilke Schellmann and produced by Jennifer Strong, Emma Cillekens, Karen Hao and Anthony Green with special thanks to James Wall. Jennifer: Work… is a big part of our lives. It's how most of us pay our bills, feed our families… and put a roof over our heads. Michelle Rogers: "A permanent job would mean stability. You need something to keep you going and to keep you fresh." Dora Lespier: "Like being able to take my daughter being able to get whatever she needs. Henry Claypool: "You know, it's, it's a big part of my identity. It's what I do a lot.

Kevin Clayton, CEO Clayton Homes, Explains Why Replacing Sales Professionals with Automation Makes Sense
"Our greatest assets are our team members, and we are committed to continually improving their lives. Whether investing in leadership initiatives, or improving our facilities, we believe the only way you can create a world-class customer experience is by first creating a world-class team member experience." Preface: To tee up the new item produced by Clayton Homes that follows below, some background is useful. First, some related background, then the new items from Clayton. An independent of Clayton Homes that stopped selling their HUD Code manufactured homes some time ago reminded MHProNews about claims that after Warren Buffett bought their brand, they tried cutting the pay of retail general managers.

How video games are reimagining Britain for the Brexit era
Since Theresa May invoked Article 50, there has been a mystifying surge in video games set in Britain. They come in all shapes and sizes, from Nintendo's Pokémon Sword and Shield, which riffs on the architecture of Oxbridge and London, to PanicBarn's anti-Brexit polemic Not Tonight. Most began development long before the EU referendum, but they are useful explorations of national identity at a time when what Britain stands for is hotly contested. Gary Younge has described the Brexit debate as a clash between stories about Britain's past and our ideas of Britishness. How, then, might these video games help us think about what Britain is today? In the 9th-century, Britain was not one but several nations, a mass of warring Anglo-Saxon, Celtic and Viking kingdoms.

Microsoft: What went right under Satya Nadella?
On Monday, it will be five years since Satya Nadella was announced as Microsoft's chief executive. Since taking charge he has turned the tech firm's fortunes around, making it the most valuable company in the world for the first time since 2002. You thought Microsoft was so last century, didn't you? In the late 80s and 90s, the company's Windows operating system ruled the world. But where Bill Gates - chief executive from 1975 to 2000 - caught the wave of personal computing, so Steve Ballmer - 2000 to 2014 - failed to do likewise with mobiles.

Quasi-random number generators for multivariate distributions based on generative neural networks
Hofert, Marius, Prasad, Avinash, Zhu, Mu
Generative moment matching networks are introduced as quasi-random number generators for multivariate distributions. So far, quasi-random number generators for non-uniform multivariate distributions require a careful design, often need to exploit specific properties of the distribution or quasi-random number sequence under consideration, and are limited to few models. Utilizing generative neural networks, in particular, generative moment matching networks, allows one to construct quasi-random number generators for a much larger variety of multivariate distributions without such restrictions. Once trained, the presented generators only require independent quasi-random numbers as input and are thus fast in generating non-uniform multivariate quasi-random number sequences from the target distribution. Various numerical examples are considered to demonstrate the approach, including applications inspired by risk management practice.
Electronic Arts cancels 'Madden 19' video game qualifiers after Jacksonville shooting
Investigators say a suspect in a deadly shooting at a Florida video game tournament specifically targeted other gamers. Aug 27, 2018; Jacksonville, FL, USA; Crime scene technicians process evidence at Jacksonville Landing where three people died and several were wounded at a Madden 19 tournament on Sunday, Aug 26. The CEO of Electronic Arts, the video game company that publishes the Madden NFL football games, says the game maker will cancel the remainder of the Madden Classic qualifying events after a gunman killed two players at an event in Jacksonville, Florida. EA CEO Andrew Wilson said in a statement released late Monday that the company decided to cancel the three remaining qualifying events "while we run a comprehensive review of safety protocols for competitors and spectators. We will work with our partners and our internal teams to establish a consistent level of security at all of our competitive gaming events."

Melksham friends crack facial recognition on iPhone X
Two friends have cracked the facial recognition on the £999 ($999) iPhone X after discovering it accepted both their faces. Joe Clayton, 23, was shocked when best friend Brad Butcher, 22, unlocked Apple's most expensive phone just by looking at it, beating one in a million odds. The construction site manager had set up the gadget so only his face appearing in front of the camera would unlock the screen. But the phone will also give Mr Butcher access - allowing him to make contactless payments, send messages and make calls - despite Apple claiming the chances of a mix up are one in a million. Two friends have cracked the facial recognition on the £999 ($999) iPhone X after discovering it accepted both their faces.

Exclusive: Google expands Howard West to train more black coders
Google is opening a university in California to train African-American computer science majors in intensive coding instruction. Josh King has the story (@abridgetoland). Google is opening up the Howard West program to 100 students from Howard and other historically black universities and colleges for a full academic year starting this fall. SAN FRANCISCO -- Last summer, Howard University dispatched 26 students to Google's Mountain View, Calif., campus for an intensive 12-week course on coding. The experimental test run boosted students' technical chops and their confidence, and now -- starting in the fall -- the Internet giant is opening the program to 100 students from Howard and other historically black colleges and universities for a full academic year.

PitchBook, a Morningstar company, tracks every aspect of the public and private equity markets, including venture capital, private equity, and M&A. LAS VEGAS--For many of us, it feels like the future is now, and that's largely thanks to AI-powered technology such as virtual assistants and robots. AI is on the front lines of new technology, and venture capital investors have certainly taken note, pouring more and more money into the space each year. But there's still a lot to come for the red-hot industry. That's the view from a panel of AI executives who attended CES.
