How The New AI ChatGPT Can Help Leaders Make Time To Be Human

In the last week, I’ve been experimenting with the hot new version of ChatGPT to discover how it might conserve a leader’s scarcest resource: time. When OpenAI launched the AI chatbot at the end of November, it instantly attracted millions of users, with breathless predictions of its potential to disrupt business models and jobs.

It certainly promises to deliver on a prediction I made in 2019 in my book The Human Edge, which explores the skills needed in a world of artificial intelligence and digitization. I forecasted: “…AI can offer us more free time by automating the stupid stuff we currently have to do, thereby reducing our cognitive burden.”

This new chatbot can help time-poor managers by writing emails and talking points — but also in delivering complex tasks like HR performance reviews.

App Store developers have earned $320 billion to date, says Apple

Apple today shared an update on its subscription businesses and global App Store, noting that the tech company has now paid out a record $320 billion to app developers since 2008 — a number that reflects the revenue apps have generated, minus Apple’s commission. In addition, the tech giant said it now has more than 900 million paid subscriptions across Apple services, with subscriptions on the App Store driving a “significant” part of that figure.

The company’s App Store in 2022 faced one of its tougher years since its founding, with lawsuits and antitrust actions aimed at limiting its market power.

Don’t show up to the next meeting? Send your 4K AI-based “metahuman” clone instead

Interesting Engineering met up with Ploonet at CES 2023 to develop a language-agnostic digital clone.

The virtual world is one of the most high-anticipated emerging technologies on the planet. In particular, virtual humans are predicted to have a $527.58 billion market by 2030 as their use grows in several industries, including entertainment, business, and retail.

One company that caught our eye at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2023 was Ploonet-a subsidiary of artificial intelligence (AI) Korean-based firm Saltlux. Agard/Interesting Engineering/Ploonet.

Meals on Mars to be made from plastic waste, says NASA-affiliated 3D food tech expert

At CES 2023, IE discovered a cutting-edge bioreactor for the future of in-space dining.

The days of tang and freeze-dried ice cream are far gone in the world of space technology. To find ways to grow food in space, organizations, including NASA, JAXA, and the European Space Agency, are collaborating with the food business.

Interesting Engineering (IE) learned from a panel of experts at the Consumer’s Electronic Show (CES) 2023 (Jan .05) the kind of solutions being developed to provide humans food during extended space flight-and eventually, habitation. One particular solution that stood out, turns plastic into consumable food. Yup, you read that right.

How Robot Tongues Are Measuring Taste For The Food And Beverage Industry

Year 2019 face_with_colon_three

The matter of taste and how it is influenced by external factors is a subject of fascination for many people (witness the proliferation of polls about which sense you would give up if needed, for example). In the foodservice industry, the question of how people perceive flavors is big business, used to predict upcoming food trends and what will resonate with tomorrow’s fickle diner.

In a nice touch of irony, this inherently human sensory experience is being increasingly monitored — and replicated — by artificial intelligence and other technological advances.

ChatGPT3 — Let The Generative AI Revolution Begin

ChatGPT3 became the newest internet sensation last year when it allows users to generate text and answer complex questions in a manner that seems almost human. But, beyond the prowess of ChatGPT3, the underlying impact of the technology — generative AI — on business is only just coming into focus.

ChatGPT3, together with its image-generating cousin Dall-E, has the potential to revolutionize the way content is created, from blogs to white papers, student essays to business correspondence. It provides access to expert-level syntax and grammar to anyone who uses it. But this also raises some important ethical questions.

This is not the first time that technology has captured the attention of the public. IBM Watson made headlines in 2011 when it won the television game show Jeopardy! and Amazon’s AMZN virtual assistant, Alexa, has been answering questions through smart speakers since its commercial debut in 2014.
