The Doomsday Clock Is Now 85 Seconds to Midnight. Here's What That Means
The Doomsday Clock Is Now 85 Seconds to Midnight. Catastrophic risks are increasing, cooperation is declining, and swift action is needed from global leaders to correct course. The Doomsday Clock is closer to midnight than ever. The Doomsday Clock has just been set to 85 seconds to midnight. Nearly 80 years after its creation, this time represents the closest the clock has ever been to midnight.

Combining AI Control Systems and Human Decision Support via Robustness and Criticality
Woods, Walt, Grushin, Alexander, Khan, Simon, Velasquez, Alvaro
AI-enabled capabilities are reaching the requisite level of maturity to be deployed in the real world, yet do not always make correct or safe decisions. One way of addressing these concerns is to leverage AI control systems alongside and in support of human decisions, relying on the AI control system in safe situations while calling on a human co-decider for critical situations. We extend a methodology for adversarial explanations (AE) to state-of-the-art reinforcement learning frameworks, including MuZero. Multiple improvements to the base agent architecture are proposed. We demonstrate how this technology has two applications: for intelligent decision tools and to enhance training / learning frameworks. In a decision support context, adversarial explanations help a user make the correct decision by highlighting those contextual factors that would need to change for a different AI-recommended decision. As another benefit of adversarial explanations, we show that the learned AI control system demonstrates robustness against adversarial tampering. Additionally, we supplement AE by introducing strategically similar autoencoders (SSAs) to help users identify and understand all salient factors being considered by the AI system. In a training / learning framework, this technology can improve both the AI's decisions and explanations through human interaction. Finally, to identify when AI decisions would most benefit from human oversight, we tie this combined system to our prior art on statistically verified analyses of the criticality of decisions at any point in time.

Generative AI like ChatGPT reveal deep-seated systemic issues beyond the tech industry
ChatGPT has cast long shadows over the media as the latest form of disruptive technology. For some, ChatGPT is a harbinger of the end of academic and scientific integrity, and a threat to white collar jobs and our democratic institutions. How concerned should we be about generative artificial intelligence (AI)? The developers of ChatGPT describe it as "a model… which interacts in a conversational way" while also calling it a "horrible product" for its inconsistent results. It can write emails, summarize documents, review code and provide comments, translate documents, create content, play games, and, of course, chat.

The Most Disruptive Technologies in HR Today
In "Making HR Tech Easy," work tech expert Tim Sackett, SHRM-SCP, makes complex HR technology understandable for all HR professionals, because having a high competency in HR technology is critical to moving your HR career forward. On March 7-8, I'll be in San Francisco attending and speaking at the SHRMTech 2023 conference. I'll be discussing the most disruptive technologies impacting all functions of HR today and in the near future. HR technology is one of the most desired HR leadership skills organizations are looking for today. Yet what I find in most HR leaders I speak with is it's their biggest weakness by a mile.
ChatGPT: five priorities for research
Researchers who use ChatGPT risk being misled by false or biased information, and incorporating it into their thinking and papers. Inattentive reviewers might be hoodwinked into accepting an AI-written paper by its beautiful, authoritative prose owing to the halo effect, a tendency to over-generalize from a few salient positive impressions7. And, because this technology typically reproduces text without reliably citing the original sources or authors, researchers using it are at risk of not giving credit to earlier work, unwittingly plagiarizing a multitude of unknown texts and perhaps even giving away their own ideas. Information that researchers reveal to ChatGPT and other LLMs might be incorporated into the model, which the chatbot could serve up to others with no acknowledgement of the original source. Assuming that researchers use LLMs in their work, scholars need to remain vigilant.

Cognitive Computing and Its Applications: Everything You Need to Know
Machine learning, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, deep learning, robotics, and several other technologies have enabled businesses to leverage human intelligence and evaluate inputs for maximum accuracy and precision. For example, you now have image recognition software that acts as a scanner and finds the best search options on Google after interpreting what the image is. So, the application is based on ML, natural language processing, and artificial intelligence. It imitates a human who uses the item or object through the eyes and interprets the results in mind. Although all these disruptive technologies are individually the best in their field, combining them, it's a challenge.
