Abstract-- Tools that can generate computer code in response to inputs written in natural language, such as ChatGPT, pose an existential threat to Computer Science education in its current form, since students can now use these tools to solve assignments without much effort. While that risk has already been recognized by scholars, the proportion of the student body that is incurring in this new kind of plagiarism is still an open problem. We conducted a pilot study in a large CS class (n=120) to assess the feasibility of estimating AI plagiarism through anonymous surveys and interviews. More than 25% of the survey respondents admitted to committing AI plagiarism. Conversely, only one student accepted to be interviewed. Given the high levels of misconduct acknowledgment, we conclude that surveys are an effective method for studies on the matter, while interviews should be avoided or designed in a way that can entice participation. 1 INTRODUCTION Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI, not to be confused with general The generation is usually guided by an input text known as the "prompt". For example, giving the prompt "a vase of red flowers" to a GenAI model would generate an image depicting red flowers in a vase. Practical applications of GenAI are now mainstream thanks to advances in neural networks. In particular, the clever use of attention mechanisms and the subsequent development of the transformer architecture made efficient learning possible over large text corpora (Vaswani et al., 2023) . AI application based on a LLM, can convincingly engage in a conversation and answer questions across multiple subjects (OpenAI, 2022) . Research on applications of LLMs in education is still in its infancy, but looks promising. Personal tutoring systems (Chang, 2022), content explanation (Leinonen et al., 2023) and assignment generation ( Jury et al., 2024) are a few of the ideas that have been explored. From another perspective, LLMs are already a reality in schools.

Whether you're streaming a show, paying bills online or sending an email, each of these actions relies on computer programs that run behind the scenes. The process of writing computer programs is known as coding. Until recently, most computer code was written, at least originally, by human beings. But with the advent of generative artificial intelligence, that has begun to change. Now, just as you can ask ChatGPT to spin up a recipe for a favorite dish or write a sonnet in the style of Lord Byron, you can now ask generative AI tools to write computer code for you.

If you feel like you're living in a convincing virtual reality akin to The Matrix, a scientist thinks you may well be right. Melvin Vopson, an associate professor in physics at the University of Portsmouth, claims our entire universe may be an advanced computer simulation. And the proof that this so-called simulation hypothesis is correct may be hiding in plain sight in the Bible. Professor Vopson told MailOnline: 'The bible itself tells us that we are in a simulation and it also tells us who is doing it. 'It is done by an AI – an artificial intelligence.'

Google will use artificial intelligence to return summarized responses to search engine queries from US users as it continues to infuse generative AI into its most widely used products. The company has been testing "AI overviews" that appear at the tops of search results, summaries created by its Gemini AI model that appear alongside the traditional link-based search results. The featured has also been tested in the UK but will be rolled out across the US beginning on Tuesday, Google announced at its annual I/O developer conference Tuesday in California. Google Search head Liz Reid said AI Overviews would become available to "more than a billion people" by the end of the year. Google also announced a text-to-video artificial intelligence model called Veo, allowing for the creation of computer-generated footage based only on written prompts.

Fox News anchor Julie Banderas reacts to the vice president's gaffe and CNN calling Dylan Mulvaney a man on'Jesse Watters Primetime.' The White House launched a two-year competition the week that will award millions of dollars in prize money to teams that develop artificial intelligence tools that can be used to protect critical U.S. computer code. "This competition, which will feature almost $20 million in prizes, will drive the creation of new technologies to rapidly improve the security of computer code, one of cybersecurity's most pressing challenges," the White House said Wednesday. "It marks the latest step by the Biden-Harris Administration to ensure the responsible advancement of emerging technologies and protect Americans." The AI Cyber Challenge will be hosted by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and will let AI development teams show the agency early next year how their AI-powered tools can protect U.S. code that "helps run the internet and other critical infrastructure."

GOP Rep. Nancy Mace spoke exclusively with Fox News Digital about her thoughts on the rapidly advancing AI sector, as Congress races to get ahead of the burgeoning technology. AI is not going to kill us. Nor is AI going to save us. Instead, AI has the potential to help us change. Very few are considering the opportunities this new technology offers to clean up government.

OpenAI's ChatGPT technology has become the talk of the town, with its capabilities seemingly drawn from the realms of science fiction. Impressive artworks and complex texts being produced without humans – so far so cool. But have you realised the potential privacy issues which the revolutionary technology potentially creates? This technology, along with rivals such as Google's Bard, is attracting millions of queries and searches every day. ChatGPT alone had gained over 100m users by January 2023, making it the fastest-growing consumer application ever.[1]

April 1 (Reuters) - Last year, Kris Kashtanova typed instructions for a graphic novel into a new artificial-intelligence program and touched off a high-stakes debate over who created the artwork: a human or an algorithm. "Zendaya leaving gates of Central Park," Kashtanova entered into Midjourney, an AI program similar to ChatGPT that produces dazzling illustrations from written prompts. From these inputs and hundreds more emerged "Zarya of the Dawn," an 18-page story about a character resembling the actress Zendaya who roams a deserted Manhattan hundreds of years in the future. The images in "Zarya," the office said, were "not the product of human authorship." Now, with the help of a high-powered legal team, the artist is testing the limits of the law once again.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman admitted his is scared about ChatGPT's abilities, but mainly with how humans will use it Sam Altman recently spoke with ABC NEWS about the company's chatbot and the rollout of the latest iteration of the AI language model, GPT-4. While the chatbot has sparked fears of AI world domination, Altman sees humans as the greatest threat to the technology. 'There will be other people who don't put some of the safety limits that we put on,' he told ABC News. 'Society, I think, has a limited amount of time to figure out how to react to that, how to regulate that, how to handle it.' OpenAI launched GPT-4 last week, touting it as more powerful than its predecessor - so much that it could be'harmful.'

The CEO behind the company that created ChatGPT believes artificial intelligence technology will reshape society as we know it. He believes it comes with real dangers, but can also be "the greatest technology humanity has yet developed" to drastically improve our lives. "We've got to be careful here," said Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI. "I think people should be happy that we are a little bit scared of this." Altman sat down for an exclusive interview with ABC News' chief business, technology and economics correspondent Rebecca Jarvis to talk about the rollout of GPT-4 -- the latest iteration of the AI language model.
