There has been growing concern among academics about the use of artificial intelligence (AI)-generated content, such as that produced by ChatGPT, to cheat on assessments. While AI-generated content might not be considered “plagiarism” in the traditional sense, as it creates completely new material, it still isn’t exactly honest for students to present an AI’s work as their own.
As if social media wasn’t enough, people now have a new way—a companion, rather—to promote disinformation: AI chatbots. The buzz around ChatGPT might have convinced you of the benefits on offer. It can write your essays, help you flirt and craft business strategies.
Just last year, when the Roe vs Wade judgment was revered in the United States, a lot of news websites covered its implications. There were discussions about how data from period trackers could be used to build abortion cases against women, effectively controlling their fertility and their rights over their bodies.
As the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) continues to advance, a new generation of AI language models is emerging to challenge the dominance of popular models like OpenAI’s Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer, or ChatGPT.
In the past couple of years, we have seen artificial intelligence (AI) do just about anything. Drawing, writing, creating brand-new inventions and even coding. It thus makes complete sense that now this technology has found its way to the legal world as well. In January this year, the legal services company DoNotPay made it to the news for letting its AI lawyer (by the same name) serve as the legal representative in two speeding ticket cases.
While ChatGPT may have had us all shaking in our boots at the idea of being replaced by an AI, a closer look at conversational chatbots reveals that they aren’t ready to replace us—at least, not yet. From Google’s chatbot Bard making a factual error in its first demonstration to Bing’s chatbot gaslighting users into agreeing with its claims, chatbots are riddled with issues for the time being.
On February 8, 2023, tech conglomerate Microsoft announced that its search engine Bing would now come integrated with OpenAI’s GPT-4. Post this, the search experience on Bing would be the same as using ChatGPT. The new Bing features a chat button in its toolbar where you can ask Bing questions and receive comprehensive answers, similar to ChatGPT.
If you’ve had enough of traditional online and in-person dating and can’t deal with any more failed experiences, perhaps it is time to try dating in the metaverse.
Quantum computing—using quantum mechanics to solve super complex problems—is a relatively new technology that has the potential to revolutionize many aspects of the modern world. It has already been used in areas such as cryptography and is increasingly gaining attention for its potential everyday applications.
In January 2023, Australian soldiers used drones to search for a missing woman. The drones helped them reach areas that might have been too challenging for a human to enter. For the past few years, the drone economy has been booming. Global investments in the industry amount to US$1.15 billion, with China leading the market.
The footballing world has welcomed many new technological developments in recent times. Its goal is to make decision-making more accurate and provide a better experience for players and fans alike. These technologies include the video assistant referee (VAR), semi-automated offside technology (SAOT) and sensor-equipped footballs, all used extensively during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
“Excuse me, but I think you dropped something: my jaw.” This is the pick-up line the famous artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot ChatGPT dished out when we asked for some viable options. Not the most original, sure, but not bad for a trained algorithm.
2022 was a tough year for the majority of education technology (EdTech) in India, with the “Tracxn Geo Annual Report: India Tech 2022” reporting a 39 per cent decrease in funding during the January-November period compared to 2021. To overcome this, many businesses, including industry-leading players like BYJU’S, Unacademy and Vedantu, had to resort to job cuts.
Revolutionize the way you live with smart home devices! The smart home industry is booming and for good reason. With the advancements in technology, there are now numerous gadgets and devices available to make your home not only smarter and more convenient but also safer and more energy-efficient.
Picture this: it’s five degrees Celsius outside, and you are freezing, but instead of you adjusting your thermostat, your house automatically realizes that it needs to be warmed up and changes the temperature accordingly. That is what ambient computing is all about. Ambient computing (also called ambient intelligence) refers to technology immersed into your environment. You don’t have to consciously interact with it using screens or keyboards.
One of the many things that artificial intelligence (AI) is capable of doing is helping governments function smoothly. In a previous article, we discussed that, over time, AI would be responsible for more decision-making. As such, it can help governments worldwide make tough decisions by ridding the decision-making process of human biases.
