Artificial Intelligence.. the ongoing impressive performance and ChatGPT creating the breakthrough.

New technology is expected to control 20% of jobs in 5 years.

The potentials of new technologies never fail to fascinate us. It is quite natural with the introduction of things that perform some of the functions of humans, despite the well-established concept that machines perform functions determined by their maker, through mechanical techniques, algorithms, or other mechanisms.

However, this state of fascination reached its peak with some of the newer technologies that perform purely human functions. It was believed that translation is a purely human function, but now machines provide translation, in some way, while evolving and becoming more accurate over time by feeding databases more information. Content writing also relied before on human minds only, but now machines do it.

Before tackling the latest AI technology, which is expected to contribute $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2035, the question is: What is AI?

Artificial intelligence is a way to make a computer, a computer-controlled robot, or software think intelligently like a human mind. It relies on studying the patterns of the human brain and analyzing the cognitive process. The results of these studies develop intelligent software and systems. John McCarthy was the first to coin the term “Artificial Intelligence” and held the first AI conference in 1956.

In 2002, the first commercially successful robotic vacuum cleaner?was invented, and from 2005 to 2019, speech recognition and process automation became possible.

In 2020, Baidu launched the LinearFold AI algorithm for scientific and medical teams to develop a vaccine during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, as the algorithm can predict the virus's RNA sequence in just 27 seconds, which is 120 times faster than other methods.

AI Cognitive Skills

AI focuses on 3 cognitive skills, which are learning, thinking, and self-correction, which are the skills that the human brain possesses to some extent. In the context of AI, they are learning, reasoning, and self-correction.

One of the most important applications of AI is the detection of bank fraud, online customer support, cyber security, and the provision of virtual assistants.

ChatGPT

ChatGPT is one of the latest trends in AI, which strongly forced itself late last year, as it represents the most mature application of AI that is closer to average users. Last November, US artificial intelligence research firm, OpenAI, launched its ChatGPT software to emulate humans in content writing and authoring.

The software is a new chatbot that relies on AI to conduct conversations with humans, answer users’ questions creatively, and write articles at request.

It was created using GPT-3 technology and developed in a way that is very similar to human language, with regard to narrative and adherence to the rules of writing. People saw it as an impressive technology that stuns all users. It did not only emulate the speech of ordinary humans but the best of high-achieving humans in their different disciplines. It is considered the most prominent AI model for language processing on the Internet.

The new bot is designed to converse with users in response to what they ask in detail, and even remembers all the questions asked previously, so that the dialogue appears as if between two people. It also allows users to correct errors and apologizes for them.

Because the ChatGPT bot answers questions and provides clear, specific meaningful answers, many questions were raised regarding its threat to the dominance of Google in providing answers and search levels. Although the chatbot is equipped with enormous amounts of information available on the Internet, its most distinctive feature is the ability to deal with all types of users, providing answers that suit them, even in cases where there is no Internet connection.

Accordingly, everyone feels that ChatGPT is a natural human being who understands their speech and responds to the conversation taking place in their minds and psyches. That is why they described it as super-intelligent. The software is basically fed thousands of data obtained from the different fields of human knowledge, to serve as a single mind familiar with the long evolution spanning thousands of years.

Although the idea is not entirely new because it was preceded by previous AI software, it is distinguished by self-development from user experiences. It is subject to very careful supervision to develop the language that responds to users' requests through so-called reinforcement learning techniques or enhanced learning from human reactions.

Taking over jobs?

Experts predict that bots such as ChatGPT will dominate 20% of the labor market for all jobs over the next five years, in addition to many of the concerns that some are starting to express, including the concern that the software will be used for malicious purposes such as obtaining information on committing fraud and home theft, and the ability of the software to produce explosives and bombs.

Although the software developer said it was trained to reject malicious questions, the technology is not yet stable and is likely to contain loopholes.

?The new bot's abilities to write poems, and scripts, run tests, and simulate entire chat rooms have led some to suggest that it could quickly take over jobs in customer service, script writing, and even the legal profession.

Microsoft has invested $10 billion in ChatGPT and stated the technology will change how people interact with computers.

?AI expert Richard Devere, head of social engineering at Ultima, believes that ChatGPT will replace 20% of the workforce as it is, according to him, a new technological revolution.
