ChatGPT is a variant of the GPT-3 language model that was specifically designed to support conversation and chatbot applications. It was developed by OpenAI, and is notable for its ability to generate human-like text that is coherent and appropriate for a wide range of conversation topics. One potential topic for a blog post about ChatGPT could be a review or evaluation of the model's performance. This could involve comparing ChatGPT to other chatbot models or discussing its strengths and weaknesses in terms of its ability to generate natural-sounding text and handle different types of conversation. Another possible angle for a blog post on ChatGPT could be a tutorial or guide on how to use the model to build a chatbot application.

Products we use every day now have become increasingly software driven, connected and sophisticated. So your engineering process has become exponentially more complex. Consider the automobile, for example. Today's automobiles require millions of lines of software to operate critical systems like braking, engine performance and collision avoidance. The implementation of more requirements, more dependency on modelling, greater testing as well as increasing global collaboration between teams to cope with customer demands have created new challenges.

Today's software and systems engineers face unprecedented challenges amidst rising complexity in product development. Following the recent launch of Requirements Quality Assistant (RQA) from IBM Engineering, systems engineers and C-level executives from across multiple industries now share insights about how they weave artificial intelligence (AI) into their engineering processes. IBM helps its customers embrace the necessary and inevitable digital transformation with the deployment of RQA within their Requirements Management solution. RQA uses Watson AI to help engineers improve the quality of their requirements, in real time. This capability allows engineers to find detailed answers to highly specific questions, even across globally distributed teams.

In today's age of growing engineering complexity, connected products and the Internet of Things (IoT) are changing the way we live and work. Engineering teams are facing pressure to quickly adapt to the pace of change in nearly every industry, with more data than ever to leverage. Enter artificial intelligence (AI) for engineering. IBM is bringing the power of IBM Watson AI to the end-to-end engineering lifecycle, delivering new innovations in requirements management for systems engineers. Embedded in IBM's engineering requirements management solution, formerly DOORS Next Generation (NG), Watson brings new features to improve requirements quality early in a project.

The era of voice has finally taken off in vehicles. Accelerating this trend is the proliferation of consumer-brand, AI-powered digital assistants. However, I expect the future growth in this category will be driven more by enterprise-grade assistants. These assistant will be embedded in every type of connected device, including, of course, our cars. Ultimately, I believe that the enterprise AI assistant will be four times as large as the consumer market.

In 1908, automobiles had already been around for decades. Yet they were still a novelty; expensive and out of reach for most Americans. But that all that changed when the first Ford Model T was assembled in Detroit, Michigan. It was a car built for the middle class. It wasn't cheap at $825 (or about $18,000 by today's standards) but it was much less expensive than previous vehicles.

IBM and AT&T team up to create robust IoT solutions. This collaboration will provide deeper insights from data collected from connected devices. This partnership will bring forth a fully integrated solution that will provide access to powerful design tools, global connectivity, advance analytics, and cognitive services for analyzing IoT data. These features will help to illuminate business opportunities across many industries. The power of Watson APIs, including visual recognition, personality insights, tradeoff analytics and translation, is captured within the Internet of Things to digest unstructured data through the utilization of cognitive computing, and deep learning approaches.

Google introduced'Spaces' to us yesterday, "a new app that lets people get together instantly to share around any topic". Searching, sharing and messaging in small groups is now a snap. What's especially interesting is that machine learning, or'Artificial Intelligence (AI)' is baked in. If you're looking for a picture of a cat, you don't need to have named or tagged your photos'cat'; Google will look through your photos and work out which ones have cats in them by using the same capability that it uses in the Google Photos app. With AI built in, Spaces now joins Facebook's Messenger app, in featuring elements of the Cognitive Internet of Things (IoT).

While the Genius of Things event in Boston is over, I'm still pondering. There are so many interesting ways that our customers are using Watson IoT to change the way we live and work. In addition to the great speakers, there were also some very impressive technology demonstrations that our partners and colleagues brought to the event. We did, when we stopped by to chat with the Persistent team. Persistent has been a leader in developing humanoid robots with Watson IoT.

A mere 20 minutes from this year's IAA event in Frankfurt, a new convention is born – one that will run in parallel with the famous international motor show. This event is the me Convention: a festival-style feast of creativity, design and technology served up through panel sessions, keynotes, workshops and art installations, running from 15th-17th September. It certainly feels different from other conventions. The vibe is almost hip – probably unsurprising when you consider that it's the brainchild of Mercedes-Benz and Texas' South by Southwest (SXSW) festival, where folk from the interactive, film and music industries flock each spring to shake things up with like-minded colleagues. Besides the expected speeches and powwows with industry powerhouses, there are evening events taking place throughout Frankfurt's Bahnhofsviertel district, to continue the spirit of exploration and creativity into the night.
