Why Vinod Khosla Is All In on AI

TIME - Tech

When Vinod Khosla had a skiing accident in 2011 that led to an ACL injury in his knee, doctors gave conflicting opinions over his treatment. Frustrated with the healthcare system, the leading venture capitalist proffered, in a hotly debated article, that AI algorithms could do the job better than doctors. Since then, Khosla's firm has invested in a number of robotics and medtech companies, including Rad AI, a radiology tech company. The self-professed techno-optimist still stands by his assertions a decade later. "Almost all expertise will be free in an AI model, and we'll have plenty of these for the benefit of humanity," he told TIME in an interview in August.


How the AI Revolution Will Reshape the World

TIME - Tech

We are about to see the greatest redistribution of power in history. Over millennia, humanity has been shaped by successive waves of technology. The discovery of fire, the invention of the wheel, the harnessing of electricity--all were transformational moments for civilization. All were waves of technology that started small, with a few precarious experiments, but eventually they broke across the world. These waves followed a similar trajectory: breakthrough technologies were invented, delivered huge value, and so they proliferated, became more effective, cheaper, more widespread and were absorbed into the normal, ever-evolving fabric of human life.


The Leak That Has Big Tech and Regulators Panicked

Slate

In February, Meta released its large language model: LLaMA. Unlike OpenAI and its ChatGPT, Meta didn't just give the world a chat window to play with. Instead, it released the code into the open-source community, and shortly thereafter the model itself was leaked. Researchers and programmers immediately started modifying it, improving it, and getting it to do things no one else anticipated. And their results have been immediate, innovative, and an indication of how the future of this technology is going to play out.

"With great power comes great responsibility." You don't have to be a Marvel buff to recognize that quote, popularized by the Spider-Man franchise. And while the sentiment was originally in reference to superhuman speed, strength, agility, and resilience, it's a helpful one to keep in mind when making sense of the rise of generative AI. While the technology itself isn't new, the launch of ChatGPT put it into the hands of 100 million people in the span of just 2 months, something that for many felt like gaining a superpower. But like all superpowers, what matters is what you use them for. Generative AI is no different.


What is Generative AI? How it Helps Humans in 2023

#artificialintelligence

Generative AI refers to a type of artificial intelligence technology that has the ability to create new and original content, such as images, videos, text, and even music. Unlike traditional AI algorithms that are designed to perform a specific task, generative AI is designed to produce novel and unique outputs based on a given input or set of inputs. The potential of generative AI is vast and has the ability to revolutionize many industries and aspects of our daily lives. In this article, we will explore what generative AI is, how it works, and how it is already being used to benefit humans. Generative AI is a type of machine learning algorithm that uses a generative model to create new content. A generative model is a type of AI model that is capable of generating new data that is similar to the training data it has been fed.


The next frontier: Israel taps AI and metaverse for aid in digital diplomacy

#artificialintelligence

An Israeli diplomat delivering greetings in eight languages to audiences around the world in their native tongues is just the beginning of how artificial intelligence can be used as a tool to augment the venerable practice of diplomacy. Earlier this year, Ambassador David Saranga, head of the digital diplomacy division at the Foreign Ministry, posted videos on Twitter in which his likeness delivered a message in Arabic, Chinese Mandarin, Persian, Greek, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian and Turkish. Saranga does not speak these languages but wanted to encourage dialogue. "I always wanted to communicate with you in the Turkish language, a language I heard in my childhood at my father's house," Saranga's likeness said in the video addressing Turkey. "Now this is possible thanks to Israeli artificial intelligence technology, which allows me to speak in any language."


How generative AI from OpenAI and Google is transforming search -- and maybe everything else - Vox

#artificialintelligence

The world's first generative AI-powered search engine is here, and it's in love with you. Or it thinks you're kind of like Hitler. Or it's gaslighting you into thinking it's still 2022, a more innocent time when generative AI seemed more like a cool party trick than a powerful technology about to be unleashed on a world that might not be ready for it. If you feel like you've been hearing a lot about generative AI, you're not wrong. After a generative AI tool called ChatGPT went viral a few months ago, it seems everyone in Silicon Valley is trying to find a use for this new technology. Generative AI is essentially a more advanced and useful version of the conventional artificial intelligence that already helps power everything from autocomplete to Siri.


Ex-Google AI expert says that 'unhinged' AI is the 'most powerful technology' since 'the atomic bomb'

FOX News

'Gutfeld!' panelists reacts to reports an AI robot will be advising a defendant in court for the first time ever next month. A software engineer who was fired by Google after he blew the whistle on the danger of artificial intelligence (AI) to the public has turned his attention to Microsoft's newest AI chatbot, Bing Search. On Monday, Lemoine targeted Microsoft's AI in an op-ed for Newsweek, calling the technology behind it "the most powerful technology that has been invented since the atomic bomb. In my view, this technology has the ability to reshape the world." Blake Lemoine first made headlines in 2022 after he claimed that Google's AI chatbot was becoming sentient, and might even have a soul.

Bernard Marr: AI will give us all superpowers

#artificialintelligence

We join the disucssion as Bernard gives us a peek into his keynote speeches as a futurist. You can listen to the full conversation above. Bernard Marr: Each time I give a presentation somewhere in keynotes, or talk to senior executive teams in companies, and talk about how technologies like artificial intelligence, and blockchain and robotics are going to change our world over the next 10 years, the next question is, okay, what does that mean for us humans? How do we compete with increasingly intelligent robots and when AI robots can be machines, but can also be devices? We now have smartwatches, smart speakers, smart everything, and really intelligent robots that can drive our cars, that can pick food, we have intelligent AI that can do the jobs of lawyers and doctors.
