Wet Hot Artificial Intelligence is here this summer
Google has launched an artificial intelligence (AI) search engine’Bard’ that will automatically generate answers for searches such as, “What’s in the news this week?” Google unveiled Bard as part of its attempt to differentiate itself from search engines like Google and Bing. The tool is reportedly powered by a generative AI system, which generates results…

The new creative streak by artificial intelligence is sparking a Silicon Valley gold rush
Google AI has announced that it is launching a new project to develop a single artificial intelligence language model. The company is training an AI model on over 400 languages, which it claims is “the largest language coverage seen in a speech model” today. The project will support languages that are poorly represented in online…

The workplace has been overlooked because of the benefits of computer aided design.
The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on Tuesday held a hearing titled ‘Navigating Employment Discrimination in AI and Automated Systems: A New Civil Rights Frontier’ to examine how artificial intelligence (AI) and automation are being used to recruitment and hire people. Some 83% of employers, including 99% of Fortune 500 companies, are using some…

The world is expected to hit a key warming threshold in the next 12 years, according to an analysis of data by artificial intelligence.
The world’s temperature will hit 1.5C by the year 2050 under any realistic emissions reduction scenario, a study co-author said. He added that avoiding a 2C rise may depend on nations meeting zero-emissions goals by the middle of this century. The study used artificial neural networks, a type of machine learning or artificial intelligence that…

The New York schools ban access because of fears of cheating and misinformation.
Thomas Lancaster, a computer scientist at Imperial College London said, “Despite the words ‘artificial intelligence’ being thrown about, really, these systems don’t have intelligence in the way we might think about as humans.” He added, “We may need technical tools to make sure what we are seeing is real, the same way we use deepfakes…

Humans and Artificial Intelligence will understand each other better than ever.
Artificial intelligence (AI) startup Codex has said its Copilots will allow knowledge workers to spend their time on higher-order cognitive tasks. The CoPilots can be used for virtually any aspect of knowledge work, allowing knowledge workers to spent their time on higher-order cognitive tasks. Copilots can be built that can be used for virtually any…

California is on fire, can plants think?
In a recent article by Nature, philosopher Paco Calvo said that humans are so focused on “brain-centric consciousness”, “that we find it difficult to imagine other kinds of internal experience”. Calvo added that artificial intelligence is not a big deal in UK academia. He further said that Black people and those from other marginalised ethnicities…

Imagine if a talking machine could speak.
DeepMind’s AI system AlphaCode, which can often compete with humans at solving simple computer science problems, has been appreciated by artificial intelligence researchers. The AlphaCode tool, which was released in February by DeepMind, showed that it beat half of the humans at a coding competition. The state-of-the-art AIs don’t have the ability to replace human…

The benefits of computation in the workplace have been overlooked.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) firm DeepMind’s AI Researcher Brynjolfsson has said that her team is excited about the potential of artificial intelligence, but “it’s important to understand…how it interacts with people”. She added, “We don’t want to create AI that doesn’t have the ability to engage with people.” Brynjolfsson also said that it is important to…

It’s not an A+ student even though a new artificial intelligence chatbot can do your homework for you.
US-based AI startup Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence said its artificial intelligence (AI) tool ChatGPT can write essays and solve math problems, but it may generate inaccurate information. Users experimenting with the free preview of the chatbot are warned that ChatGPT “may occasionally generate incorrect or misleading information,” harmful instructions or biased content.

Academics should be worried about the writing of intelligent essays by an artificial intelligence bot.
A study conducted by Nature has revealed that “artificial intelligence” tools are used in education and may end up as essays. It found that some of the AI tools used could catch students using AI for things they shouldn’t, whether that’s work emails or College essays. It said the systems don’t have “intelligence in the…

Academics should be worried about the writing of smart essays by an artificial intelligence bot.
MIT researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot named ChatGPT that can answer questions in human language. It was built by using a form of simulated reward and punishment called reinforcement learning. The researchers fed human-written answers to ChatGPT as training data, and then used a form of reinforcement learning to push the model…
