Can AI Help Us Save the Planet From Ourselves?

#artificialintelligence

Much of the conversation around artificial intelligence (AI) these days centers on whether it will eventually take your job, how it's trying to compete with humans in creative fields, or how it can be misused, say, as a writing tool. You can probably chalk this one-sidedness up to an all-too-human tendency to be suspicious of new tech that isn't well understood by the mainstream (yet). But AI isn't intrinsically evil or good: It's a tool, a vast technology with enormous potential, and there are myriad ways to implement it beyond the current discourse. One vitally important use case is helping us fight and survive the consequences of climate change. Whether it's mitigating the effects of disasters such as floods and fires more quickly or building a cleaner energy grid, the evidence is mounting that AI has an essential role to play in helping to protect us as the planet reacts to climate change.


10 Jobs That Could Disappear Any Day Now, Thanks to AI

#artificialintelligence

What the metaverse was in 2022, AI is shaping up to be this year: the technological innovation that promises--or threatens--to reshape how we live. Though Second Life 2.0 didn't really deliver, AI will likely be much more impactful. Some compare it to the rise of automation in the last few decades, in which whole industries were reshaped by robotics and self-operating machines. Artificial intelligence promises the same thing for white-collar jobs, with a recent Goldman Sachs report estimating it could replace 300 million human workers. Here are 10 occupations that AI could make obsolete.

ChatGPT Needs to Get Way Better Before It Takes My Job

#artificialintelligence

The rapid development of conversational AI, particularly ChatGPT, is both impressive and concerning. No one wants to worry about a bot taking their job(Opens in a new window). Employers weighing whether to adopt AI may want to think twice, though. After putting ChatGPT through its paces, we found that it's got a lot to learn. It served up vague and sometimes flat-out wrong information on topics PCMag staffers know well.


5 ways GPT-4 outsmarts ChatGPT

#artificialintelligence

OpenAI's new GPT-4 AI model has made its big debut and is already powering everything from a virtual volunteer for the visually impaired to an improved language learning bot in Duolingo. Here are the five biggest differences between these popular systems. Although ChatGPT was originally described as being GPT-3.5 (and therefore a few iterations beyond GPT-3), it is not itself a version of OpenAI's large language model, but rather a chat-based interface for whatever model powers it. The ChatGPT system that exploded in popularity over the last few months was a way to interact with GPT-3.5, and now it's a way to interact with GPT-4. With that said, let's get into the differences between the chatbot you know and love and its newly augmented successor.


DuckDuckGo Offering AI-Powered Search That Taps ChatGPT Tech

#artificialintelligence

Following Microsoft, DuckDuckGo is now tapping OpenAI's ChatGPT technology to streamline its search engine. DuckAssist is a free feature that can pop up when you make a query on the DuckDuckGo search engine. By tapping AI algorithms, DuckAssist can offer a concise answer to your query at the top of the search page, removing the need to scroll through search results and visit a third-party website to find the answer. The approach could kill off traditional search results, like Microsoft is starting to do with the ChatGPT-powered Bing. But for now, DuckAssist's scope has been confined to only citing content from encyclopedia sites Wikipedia and Brittanica.

Microsoft Researchers Are Using ChatGPT to Control Robots, Drones

#artificialintelligence

ChatGPT is best known as an AI program capable of writing essays and answering questions, but now Microsoft is using the chatbot to control robots. On Monday, the company's researchers published(Opens in a new window) a paper on how ChatGPT can streamline the process of programming software commands to control various robots, such as mechanical arms and drones. "We still rely heavily on hand-written code to control robots," the researchers wrote. Microsoft's approach, on the other hand, taps ChatGPT to write some of the computer code. ChatGPT can do this because the AI model was trained on huge libraries of human text--including the code for software programs.


'Nothing, Forever,' an AI 'Seinfeld' spoof, is the next 'Twitch Plays Pokémon' • TechCrunch

#artificialintelligence

"So, I was at the store the other day, and as I'm checking out, the cashier asks me if I have any coupons, and I say, 'No coupon problem!'" recalls a pixelated, barely three-dimensional figure that vaguely resembles Jerry Seinfeld. "So I'm walking down the street, and this guy comes up to me and says, 'Hey, how's it going?' and I say, 'It's going coupon!'" An automated laugh track plays, but the joke doesn't make sense. Then again, it doesn't have to make sense. "Nothing, Forever" is a never-ending, AI-generated spoof of "Seinfeld," the show about nothing.
