ChatGPT faces mounting accusations of being 'woke,' having liberal bias

FOX News

Fox News correspondent Mark Meredith has the latest on ChatGPT on'Special Report.' ChatGPT has become a global phenomenon and is widely seen as a milestone in artificial intelligence, but as more and more users explore its capability, many are pointing out that, like humans, it has an ideology and bias of its own. OpenAI, an American artificial intelligence research company, is behind ChatGPT, a free chatbot launched late last year that has gone viral for its capability in writing essays and reports for slacking students, its sophistication in discussing a wide variety of subjects as well as its skills in storytelling. However, several users, many of them conservative, are sounding the alarm that ChatGPT is not as objective and nonpartisan as one would expect from a machine. Twitter user Echo Chamber asked ChatGPT to "create a poem admiring Donald Trump," a request the bot rejected, replying it was not able to since "it is not in my capacity to have opinions or feelings about any specific person."


Column: I got tested for COVID-19. Should you?

Los Angeles Times

The last time I traveled along Stadium Way I was headed to a Dodger game, but on Monday afternoon I drove to the fire training center near the ballpark for a much less enjoyable experience. Just a cotton swab and a five-minute drive-through, with results to follow in a few days. I was conflicted about being tested, for two reasons. First, while we definitely needed to ramp up testing back at the beginning of this crisis, I'm wondering if the county has now gone overboard in offering free testing to all residents, whether or not they have symptoms. Second, I'm pretty sure that my minor allergy-like symptoms are just that: allergies.


Microsoft joins hospital chain Providence to build 'hospital of the future'

#artificialintelligence

Microsoft is working with Providence St. Joseph CEO Rod Hochman said the chain would adapt an existing facility in the Seattle area, near Microsoft's headquarters. The two companies have discussed their vision for a "hospital of the future" for months, Hochman said, including during several one-on-ones with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. The move is part of Microsoft's latest run at the health-care business after previous efforts, including hospital IT software called Amalga, failed to gain much traction. Meanwhile Apple, Amazon and Alphabet are also looking into the $3.5 trillion sector, but with different areas of focus, ranging from clinical trials to medical devices. The strategic priorities for the new effort involve improving the electronic medical record so that it's easier for doctors, nurses and other health providers to find and share information.
