AI goes awry

Welcome, readers.?

Yes, You heard right. ChatGPT has been temporarily banned in Italy due to privacy concerns.?Italy’s national data protection agency (DPA) said it would block access to ChatGPT immediately and is starting an investigation into its creator, OpenAI.?This is the first known instance of the chatbot being blocked by a government order.

Here’s what’s going on in the world of AI today:

• ?OpenAI could release GPT-5 at the end of this year and achieve artificial general intelligence, which would make generative AI indistinguishable from a human, according to a report.
• College professors are early adopters of generative AI technology like ChatGPT.
• Welcome to the era of viral AI-generated ‘news’ images.
• A stock trader who made $8 million in 2 years shares how he’s betting on AI stocks and the strategy he’s using to trade hot themes this year.

OpenAI could release GPT-5 at the end of this year ?

OpenAI is expected to release GPT-5 technology later this year, which could make generative AI indistinguishable from a human.

This is a significant milestone in the field of AI and could have far-reaching implications for society. For example, it could lead to the development of more advanced chatbots and virtual assistants that are capable of understanding and responding to human speech in a more natural way. It could also be used to create more realistic video game characters and movie special effects.

College professors are early adopters of generative AI technology like ChatGPT.?

Generative AI such as ChatGPT is affecting the education sector. According to recent research from professors at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, New York University, and Princeton, eight of the top 10 professions “most exposed” to the latest advances in large language models like ChatGPT are teaching positions.

Post-secondary teachers in English language and literature, foreign language, and history topped the list among educators. While evidence has been growing in recent years that work within highly skilled professions may be influenced by AI, typically the jobs expected to be most affected by technology are routine or rote jobs, while highly-skilled labor is considered more protected. However, this study finds the opposite to be the case.

Generative AI is hot right now. Here’s a starter list of great books to stay on top of this explosive new industry, according to experts.

AI-generated images are becoming more realistic and easier to create with new tools. The images can range from obviously fake to compellingly real and can fool some social media users.

The spread of computer-generated media threatens to further pollute the information ecosystem and risks adding to the challenges for users, news organizations, and social media platforms to vet what’s real.

AI-generated images could be used for harassment or to further drive divided internet users apart. Tech leaders have called for artificial intelligence labs to stop the training of the most powerful AI systems for at least six months citing “profound risks to society and humanity.” Legislation may play a role in reigning in some of the more radically open models.
