Embracing chatGPT in the financial technology classroom

ChatGPT has been a topic of great discussion in academia, particularly about how to prevent its unauthorized use in classes. However, students can benefit from understanding how to use generative artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool to save time and improve performance on writing assignments.

Craig Hurwitz, an Executive in Residence in the Pratt School of Engineering, asked the graduate in his “Emerging Trends in Financial Technology (Fintech)” course to generate a first draft of an essay with ChatGPT’s help. His working assumption was that when students enter the workforce they will have access to, and the ability to use, generative AI for productivity purposes. He wanted to experiment with ChatGPT in his course to give students a first-hand look at how to use generative AI.

For the assignment, the class was instructed to read a and each chose a Fintech approach to help solve a particular challenge mentioned in the case. Their written assignment was a 750-word Executive Summary convincing the instructor (playing the role of Venture Capitalist) why he should consider meeting to discuss a potential investment.

The Result Of Unchecked AI: Balancing The Benefits And The Risks

Vinay is the CEO and Founder of Arya.ai, the AI cloud for safe & responsible AI.

From self-driving cars to virtual assistants, AI is driving us to a high-performing ecosystem, creating promising use cases across industries every day. While organizations are generating substantial value with artificial intelligence (AI), the technology has many potential risks. Although its capabilities are expanding daily, so are the regulations, risks and ethical pitfalls around AI. Let’s discuss AI’s potential risks to individuals and society and industries’ preparedness to mitigate them.

Reliability is critical to ensuring the effective and safe deployment of AI models in real-world applications. While AI models are expected to maintain accuracy, their performance can drift over time due to several factors. Failure to monitor and diagnose AI models can lead to inaccurate predictions and high-stakes issues.

NASA Mars robot technology adapted for Earth: Saving lives in disaster response

Dr. Alice Agogino’s Mars robot technology finds terrestrial applications, revolutionizing disaster response and public safety with Squishy Robotics Inc.

For her NASA-funded spherical skeleton robots intended for interplanetary exploration, Dr. Alice Agogino, a famous scientist and the head of the Berkeley Emergent Space Tensegrities Lab at the University of California, Berkeley, has found terrestrial applications.

The robots developed by Agogino, which were initially meant for data collection on Mars or the Moon, may help first responders in the event of calamities on Earth.

Unique sweater-like fabric may help robots to feel human touch

The Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University has developed a machine-knitted textile “skin” that can detect contact and pressure.

Over recent years, the goal in robotics has been to make robots more humane.

To make this possible, engineers have now developed a first-of-its-kind “RobotSweater” that will enable better interaction with humans. The Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University has developed a machine-knitted textile “skin” that can be wrapped around the robot’s body to detect contact and pressure.

ChatGPT: Departments in Australia given freedom to experiment with AI tool

The policy vacuum could impact refugees warns lawmaker.

The federal government in Australia has left it to the various departments to decide on the usage of artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT instead of formulating a common policy for public services, ABC News.

Millions of users have experimented with tools like ChatGPT since it was introduced last year, and private organizations have jumped to make AI an integral part of their products and services to improve productivity and cut costs.

Critical Flaw in Inea ICS Product Exposes Industrial Organizations to Remote Attacks

A critical vulnerability found in a remote terminal unit (RTU) made by Slovenia-based industrial automation company Inea can expose industrial organizations to remote hacker attacks.

The existence of the vulnerability came to light last week, when the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) published an advisory to inform organizations. The vendor has released a firmware update that patches the issue.

The security hole, tracked as CVE-2023–2131 with a CVSS score of 10, impacts Inea ME RTUs running firmware versions prior to 3.36. This OS command injection bug could allow remote code execution, CISA said.
