AI Is Speeding Us Toward Intelligent Computers and the Singularity, Pioneer Says

Posted by in categories: mobile phones, robotics/AI, singularity

ChatGPT and other AI systems are propelling us faster toward the long-term technology dream of artificial general intelligence and the radical transformation called the “singularity,” Silicon Valley chip luminary and former Stanford University professor John Hennessy believes.

Hennessy won computing’s highest prize, the Turing Award, with colleague Dave Patterson for developing the computing architecture that made energy-efficient smartphone chips possible and that now is the foundation for virtually all major processors. He’s also chairman of Google parent company Alphabet.

Musk said Wednesday that the bot “has illustrated to people just how advanced AI has become,” according to Musk.

Only 9% of Americans think A.I. development will do more good than harm

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

About 5 in 10 respondents — or 46% — think that AI development will do about the same amount of good and harm, and 41% of people in the sample believe that the technology will ultimately do harm to society overall.

More than half of Americans — 55% — are very or somewhat worried that AI could one day pose a risk to the human race, according to the poll.

Artificial intelligence is a catch-all term that describes a number of different programs that use reams of data to improve their functionality without intervention from software developers. But the recent hype is focused on a new method called “large language models” that analyzes terabytes of data.

Meet Harvey, the A.I. chatbot drafting contracts at one of the U.K.‘s largest law firms

Posted by in categories: law, robotics/AI

Harvey is one of the newest hires at Allen & Overy, the U.K.’s second-largest law firm, and he’s one heck of a workhorse.

Since November, he has been churning out drafts of merger and acquisition agreements as well as memos to clients. He never leaves the office and never takes a coffee break. He’s also not human.

Harvey is the name of the artificial intelligence chatbot the international legal giant has been testing for the past several months, without informing its clients, the Financial Times reported. The tool is available to any of the company’s attorneys.

Elon Musk says Twitter will provide a free write-only API to bots providing ‘good’ content

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, policy, robotics/AI

Last week, Twitter said it is shutting down free access to its APIs starting February 9. Now, days before the deadline, Elon Musk said that after getting feedback from developers, Twitter will provide a write-only API for “bots providing good content that is free.”

This decision is as opaque as some of the other policy decisions under Musk’s management. There is no information on what constitutes “good content” and who will decide that. However, if Twitter ends up implementing this rule, some bots will get a new lifeline on the social network.

Previously, Twitter shuttered API access to third-party clients saying they broke a “long-standing rule” without any specification. Then the company silently updated its developer terms to reflect that app can’t “use or access the Licensed Materials to create or attempt to create a substitute or similar service or product to the Twitter Applications.”

Amazon CEO says ChatGPT is ‘exciting,’ but that Amazon has been working on similar tech for a long time

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Amazon’s CEO Andy Jassy chimed in on the conversation about generative AI and ChatGPT in an interview with the Financial Times, published on Monday.

“I think it’s exciting, what’s possible with generative AI,” Jassy told the FT. “And it’s part of what you’re seeing with models like ChatGPT. But most large, deeply technical companies like ours, have been working on these very large, generative AI models themselves for a long time.”

While Amazon already has AI and machine learning technology in place — like Alexa, its voice assistant, and CodeWhisperer, a code recommendation generator — company supporters are concerned that the tech giant is falling behind in the generative AI department, per the FT.

Google employees criticize CEO for “dumpster fire” response to ChatGPT

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

When Google’s ChatGPT competitor event was announced for last week, we wrote that it seemed like a rush job designed to reassure investors, and since then, that event happened and went worse than anyone could have imagined. Google’s event did the opposite of what it wanted, with the stock down nearly 12 percent since the recent high just before the event. Even Google employees are starting to take notice, with CNBC’s Jennifer Elias writing that, internally, employees are criticizing CEO Sundar Pichai for what they call a ‘rushed, botched’ announcement of Google’s new chatbot.

CNBC says it was able to view several messages from Google’s internal “Memegen” employee forum, and while these are normally lighthearted, the report says “the posts after the Bard announcement struck a more serious tone and even went directly after Pichai.”
