It’s a tool and like any other tool it can be misused Hollywood has long speculated about the impact artificial intelligence (AI) will have on the future of human civilisation. Increasingly, scientists and philosophers have been forced to interrogate this topic themselves. Will people be put out of a job? Could AI ever become sentient? Will the human race survive? The latest popular addition to the world of AI is ChatGPT — a text generator so smart it can explain its own existence to you. No joke. I asked ChatGPT to give me a brief summary of ChatGPT and it...

OpenAI, the maker of Artificial Intelligence chatbot ChatGPT, announced on Tuesday that it has released a new software tool to help detect whether someone is trying to pass off AI-generated text as something that was written by a person.The tool, known as a classifier, comes two months after the release of ChatGPT, a chatbot that generates human-like responses based on the input it is given. Schools were quick to limit ChatGPT’s use over concerns that it could fuel academic dishonesty and hinder learning, as students have been using the chatbot to create content that they are passing off as their...

Ever since OpenAI released its chatbot ChatGPT in November, it’s been making waves and attracting a huge number of users. (It must be a huge number. I haven’t been able to log in for a week because it’s always over capacity.) Some researchers have been putting the large language-model system through its paces and performing tests to see how effective or potentially dangerous it is. In one experiment, researchers asked a group of scientists to evaluate a number of research paper abstracts. Some of them were written by other scientists and post-graduate research students while others were generated by ChatGPT...

We live in a day and age when advancements in technology are constantly pushing the limits of what can be possible. Visionaries are creating new codes, re-imagining the usage of existing software, and charting new territory in virtual reality. One such technological development that has taken the internet by storm is OpenAI’s new chatbot ChatGPT which has the potential to revolutionse artificial intelligence. What can you do with ChatGPT? Founded by Elon Musk, OpenAI has developed a new chatbot that offers some really cool and exciting opportunities. If you are a writer or work as a content creator, you can...

Researchers Warn Of ‘Dangerous’ Artificial Intelligence-Generated Disinformation At Scale "We just needed a much smaller dataset, half hour of training time, and all of a sudden, GPT was now a New York Times writer," said Andrew Lohn, senior research fellow at CSET. By BRAD D. WILLIAMS on September 30, 2021 at 4:45 AM WASHINGTON: Researchers at Georgetown University’s Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET) are raising alarms about powerful artificial intelligence technology now more widely available that could be used to generate disinformation at a troubling scale. The warning comes after CSET researchers conducted experiments using the second and...

Artificial intelligence will create so much wealth that every adult in the United States could be paid $13,500 per year from its windfall as soon as 10 years from now. So says Sam Altman, co-founder and president of San Francisco-headquartered, artificial intelligence-focused nonprofit OpenAI. "My work at OpenAI reminds me every day about the magnitude of the socioeconomic change that is coming sooner than most people believe," Altman, who posted Tuesday. "Software that can think and learn will do more and more of the work that people now do." Altman calls it an "AI revolution," and compares it in magnitude...

President Trump reminded voters Saturday morning he’d like to block a return to Washington for his former Attorney General Jeff Sessions. “Big Senate Race in Alabama on Tuesday,” Mr. Trumptweeted, while urging voters to back former Auburn football coach Tommy Tuberville in the July 14 primary. “Jeff Sessions is a disaster who has let us all down. We don’t want him back in Washington!” The winner of Alabama’s GOP primary runoff will face Democratic Sen. Doug Jones in November. Mr. Jones rode a torrent of out-of-state money and scandals engulfing his GOP opponent to win a special election in 2017,...

Evan McMullin doesn’t want you to know who his donors are. The failed Never Trump presidential candidate has stayed in the public eye as a sort of attack dog against President Trump and other Republicans, while keeping secret the names of the donors paying him to do so. McMullin’s recently founded non-profit organization, Stand Up Republic, jumped into the Alabama Senate race this week with a $500,000 ad buy against Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore. One of the ads features a man saying Roy Moore “makes Republicans and us Christians look bad.”

Reid Hoffman, a billionaire who was allegedly involved in a false information campaign in Alabama, played a crucial role in developing software capable of creating “deepfake” news articles, sources confirmed.Tesla CEO Elon Musk suggests he distanced himself from OpenAI in 2018 after disagreements about the direction researchers were taking the group. One of the big tech billionaires responsible for financing a project creating “deepfake” news articles is a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter and Democratic donor.  The liberal billionaire who allegedly backed a misinformation campaign during the midterm elections played a significant role in funding a group responsible for creating a...
