Germany’s biggest publisher warns AI could ‘replace’ journalism

[ad_1] German media giant Axel Springer warned on Tuesday that journalists risked being made obsolete by artificial intelligence. "Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to make independent journalism better than it ever was -- or simply replace it," Axel Springer CEO Mathias Doepfner said in an internal letter to employees seen by AFP. Computers using AI would soon be better at the "aggregation of information" than human journalists, Doepfner predicted. He said media outlets must focus on generating exclusive news or original commentary and features if they want to survive. Investigative journalism, personality driven features and entertainment coverage were becoming "increasingly important" for the media business, Doepfner said. And divining the "true motives" behin...

Elon Musk recruits team to develop OpenAI’s ChatGPT rival – The Information

[ad_1] Elon Musk has approached AI researchers in recent weeks about forming a new research lab to develop an alternative to OpenAI's ChatGPT, the Information reported on Monday, citing people with direct knowledge of the effort. Tesla and Twitter chief Musk has been recruiting Igor Babuschkin, a researcher who recently left Alphabet's DeepMind AI unit, the report said. The report comes after ChatGPT, a text-based chatbot developed by OpenAI that can draft prose, poetry or even computer code on command, gained widespread attention in Silicon Valley. Musk, who had co-founded OpenAI along with Silicon Valley investor Sam Altman in 2015 as a nonprofit startup, had left its board in 2018, but chimed in with his take on the chatbot, calling it "scary good". Musk and Babuschkin have ...

China’s Top Broker Says ChatGPT Did Well in Research Assignment

[ad_1] ChatGPT can write a well-organized and clear market outlook report but lacks independent analysis skills, according to a research team at one of China's largest brokerages. Analysts at China International Capital Corp Ltd. asked the sensational chatbot to write a report on 2023 global market outlook and learned it has “a certain degree of financial knowledge and market analytical capability,” Zhao Li and Xiaoqing Yang wrote in a note. “It is more bullish on equities and gold, while more cautious on bonds and commodities,” the analysts said. The experiment comes as questions swirl around the globe on whether the artificial intelligence chatbot can displace humans at work. That may be premature for analysts, as CICC says “it does not yet have independent market analysis capab...

EU Eyes a New Tech Champion, But It’s No ChatGPT

[ad_1] Europe is where ChatGPT gets regulated, not invented. That's something to regret. As unhinged as the initial results of the artificial-intelligence arms race may be, they're also another reminder of how far the European Union lags behind the US and China when it comes to tech. How did the land that birthed Nokia Oyj and Ericsson AB become the land that tech forgot? Some blame the acronyms synonymous with Brussels red tape — GDPR, DMA, DSA — even though the Googles of this world look far more spooked by ChatGPT than any EU fine. Tech lobbyists are fuming at EU Commissioner Thierry Breton, who wants incoming AI rules toughened to rein in a new breed of chatbots. But maybe Breton's old company, Atos SE, is a better example of the deeper malaise plaguing European tech. Aerospac...

ChatGPT sparks AI ‘gold rush’ in Silicon Valley

[ad_1] ChatGPT, Silicon Valley's latest app sensation, has investors rushing to find the next big thing in generative AI, the technology that some hail as the beginning of a new era in big tech.Artificial intelligence (AI) has been increasingly present in everyday life for decades, but the November launch of the conversational robot from start-up OpenAI marked a turning point in its perception by the general public and investors. "Every so often we have platforms that come along and result in an explosion of new companies. We saw this with the internet and mobile, and AI could be the next platform." said Shernaz Daver of California-based Khosla Ventures. Generative AI, of which ChatGPT is an example, wades through oceans of data to conjure up original content - an image, a poem, a thou...

Microsoft-backed OpenAI to let users customize ChatGPT

[ad_1] OpenAI, the startup behind ChatGPT, on Thursday said it is developing an upgrade to its viral chatbot that users can customize, as it works to address concerns about bias in artificial intelligence. The San Francisco-based startup, which Microsoft Corp has funded and used to power its latest technology, said it has worked to mitigate political and other biases but also wanted to accommodate more diverse views. “This will mean allowing system outputs that other people (ourselves included) may strongly disagree with,” it said in a blog post, offering customization as a way forward. Still, there will “always be some bounds on system behavior.” ChatGPT, released in November last year, has sparked frenzied interest in the technology behind it called generative AI, which is use...

Beijing to support key firms in building ChatGPT-like AI models

[ad_1] China's capital Beijing will support leading enterprises in building large artificial intelligence (AI) models that can challenge ChatGPT, the city's economy and information technology bureau said on Monday.

ChatGPT vs Bard: Google exec cautions against ‘hallucinating’ chatbots

[ad_1] The boss of Google's search engine warned against the pitfalls of artificial intelligence in chatbots in a newspaper interview published on Saturday, as Google parent company Alphabet battles to compete with blockbuster app ChatGPT. "This kind of artificial intelligence we're talking about right now can sometimes lead to something we call hallucination," Prabhakar Raghavan, senior vice president at Google and head of Google Search, told Germany's Welt am Sonntag newspaper. "This then expresses itself in such a way that a machine provides a convincing but completely made-up answer," Raghavan said in comments published in German. One of the fundamental tasks, he added, was keeping this to a minimum. Google has been on the back foot after OpenAI, a startup Microsoft is backi...
