OpenAI and CommonSense Media team up to curate family-friendly GPTs
You will soon find a kid-friendly section inside OpenAI's newly opened store for custom GPTs. The company has joined forces with Common Sense Media, a nonprofit organization that rates media and technology based on their suitability for children, to minimize the risks of AI use by teenagers. Together, they intend to create AI guidelines and educational materials for young people, their parents and their educators. The two organizations will also curate a collection of family-friendly GPTs in OpenAI's GPT store based on Common Sense's ratings, making it easy to see which ones are suitable for younger users. "Together, Common Sense and OpenAI will work to make sure that AI has a positive impact on all teens and families," James P. Steyer, founder and CEO of Common Sense Media, said in a statement.
ChatGPT Sparked a New AI Race and Revived the Popularity of Text Boxes
Not even OpenAI comes close. Before it became the fastest-growing consumer app in history, before it popularised the phrase "generative pre-trained transformers," and before every company you can think of was racing to adopt its underlying model, ChatGPT debuted in November as a "research preview." In this article, we have explained how ChatGPT sparked a new AI race and revived the popularity of text boxes. Read to know more about ChatGPT sparked a new AI race. The blog post that announced ChatGPT has since become a hilarious case study in underselling.
GM Just Patented a Self-Driving Car That Teaches People How to Drive
For more than a decade, people have been trying to teach cars how to drive. In the not-too-distant future, this effort may come full circle, with cars teaching people how to drive; last week, General Motors applied for a patent on an autonomous vehicle equipped to "train drivers." Self-driving cars have taken a lot longer to come about than was predicted, with complications relating to technology, safety, and regulations all throwing wrenches in the spokes of progress. Google was one of the first companies to invest heavily in driverless vehicle development, launching its self-driving car project in early 2009 out of its X lab (also known as the Moonshot Factory). As recently as 2015, auto industry insiders predicted fully self-driving cars would be on the road by 2020. That wasn't the case, and two years later we're still waiting for the day we can kick back, put our feet up, and watch the scenery go by as autonomous cars deliver us to our destinations.
How explainable artificial intelligence can help humans innovate
The field of artificial intelligence (AI) has created computers that can drive cars, synthesize chemical compounds, fold proteins and detect high-energy particles at a superhuman level. However, these AI algorithms cannot explain the thought processes behind their decisions. A computer that masters protein folding and also tells researchers more about the rules of biology is much more useful than a computer that folds proteins without explanation. Therefore, AI researchers like me are now turning our efforts toward developing AI algorithms that can explain themselves in a manner that humans can understand. If we can do this, I believe that AI will be able to uncover and teach people new facts about the world that have not yet been discovered, leading to new innovations.
James Madison University students shred 'racist' campus training labeling Whites, Christians as 'oppressors'
JMU College Republicans chairwoman Juliana McGrath shares her concerns with controversial diversity, equity and inclusion training for first-year students. James Madison University is under fire for pushing controversial rhetoric as part of its freshmen orientation training for student leaders. The PowerPoint presentation and accompanying video addressed topics like social justice, identity, power and privilege, and labeled any person who fits the parameters of White, male, straight and Christian as oppressors in a detailed chart. JMU College Republicans chairwoman Juliana McGrath shared her frustration with Fox News, saying the training at the Virginia university that's meant to bring students together will ultimately be divisive. "When you're teaching about things like this, the goal is to try to bring people together and try to get people to understand different life experiences," she said.

This AI can explain how it solves Rubik's Cube--and that's a big deal

One field of AI, called reinforcement learning, studies how computers can learn from their own experiences.

A new course to teach people about fairness in machine learning
In my undergraduate studies, I majored in philosophy with a focus on ethics, spending countless hours grappling with the notion of fairness: both how to define it and how to effect it in society. Little did I know then how critical these studies would be to my current work on the machine learning education team where I support efforts related to the responsible development and use of AI. As ML practitioners build, evaluate, and deploy machine learning models, they should keep fairness considerations (such as how different demographics of people will be affected by a model's predictions) in the forefront of their minds. Additionally, they should proactively develop strategies to identify and ameliorate the effects of algorithmic bias. To help practitioners achieve these goals, Google's engineering education and ML fairness teams developed a 60-minute self-study training module on fairness, which is now available publicly as part of our popular Machine Learning Crash Course (MLCC).
Translating music to predict a musician's body movements
When pianists play a musical piece on a piano, their body reacts to the music. Their fingers strike piano keys to create music. They move their arms to play on different octaves. Violin players draw the bow with one hand across the strings and touch lightly or pluck the strings with the other hand's fingers. Faster bowing produces a faster music pace.
