Tsumugi-nen is an online entertainer that streams content daily to her over 73,000 subscribers on YouTube, using a virtual avatar of herself. She is a popular VTuber -- short for virtual YouTuber -- in Japan. Except, she doesn't quite match that description 100%. She's actually an artificial intelligence-generated talent developed and managed by 29-year-old Hayato Akedo and his AI talent agency, Pictoria.

Latest developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and big data gave rise to Artificial Intelligent agents like Open AI's ChatGPT, which has recently become the fastest growing application since Facebook and WhatsApp. ChatGPT has demonstrated its ability to impact students' classroom learning experience and exam outcomes. However, there is evidence that ChatGPT provides biased and erroneous information, yet students use ChatGPT in academic tasks. Therefore, an accurate understanding of ChatGPT user perception is crucial. This study has analyzed 247 Reddit top posts related to the educational use of ChatGPT from a prominent subreddit called "ChatGPT" for user perception analysis. Descriptive statistics, sentiment analysis using NLP techniques, and LDA topic modeling were used for analysis to gather a contextual understanding of the data. Results show that the majority of the users took a neutral viewpoint. However, there was more positive perception than negative regarding the usefulness of ChatGPT in education.

The advent of ChatGPT by OpenAI has prompted extensive discourse on its potential implications for science and higher education. While the impact on education has been a primary focus, there is limited empirical research on the effects of large language models (LLMs) and LLM-based chatbots on science and scientific practice. To investigate this further, we conducted a Delphi study involving 72 experts specialising in research and AI. The study focused on applications and limitations of LLMs, their effects on the science system, ethical and legal considerations, and the required competencies for their effective use. Our findings highlight the transformative potential of LLMs in science, particularly in administrative, creative, and analytical tasks. However, risks related to bias, misinformation, and quality assurance need to be addressed through proactive regulation and science education. This research contributes to informed discussions on the impact of generative AI in science and helps identify areas for future action.

AI seems to be a major topic being discussed and there's a huge amount noise around it being the salvation of humankind…or the beginning of the downfall. So, should you be worried about AI? Should you be using AI? Should you be ignoring AI? And what are the ramifications of AI on your future?

Pietro Schirano adds, "To me, it seemed like magic." "I was slightly frightened since it was so wonderful." He is discussing the most recent iteration of the ChatGPT artificial intelligence (AI) technology. You type anything, and the system generates a response for you. The responses are eerily human, amiable, and intelligent.

Kevin Bocek is vice president, security strategy and threat intelligence, at Venafi, a company that makes security software for authenticating machines. He used ChatGPT to create Excel macros and PowerShell scripts, which are two different ways to give a computer repeatable instructions. Hackers often use them to launch an attack.

A text-to-image AI Dall-E2 generated image with a prompt: Edward Hopper-style image of a man and a woman sitting at a cafe table, both absorbed in their smartphones without speaking. Video artist Jason Allen's Midjourney generated piece called "Théâtre D'opéra Spatial" won first place at the Colorado State Fair.

Mo Gawdat, author and former chief business officer at Google X, predicts that AI will become a billion times smarter than humans. The time is now, he says, to influence it with the right ethics to have humanity's best interests in mind. Artificial intelligence is becoming unavoidable with smart devices in every aspect of our lives, and AI image and text generation reaching new heights. So, is it time to make friends with AI? This episode was produced by Ruby Zaman with our host, Halla Mohieddeen.

Headlines were made earlier this year when a new rapper dropped new music on – where else – TikTok. Tens of millions of followers signed up to listen to songs powered not by artistic nous but artificial intelligence (AI). Are rappers just the latest cohort of the jobs market to fall foul of AI and its staggering potential? We have been warned for years that AI is poised to take over the world of work, with many jobs simply ceasing to exist as machines finally win the war against man. We already know it can beat us at chess.

It is quite difficult to define artificial intelligence (AI), … that AI is a hyper intelligent computer with the likeness of human intelligence.
