Generative AI And Data Science Have Mightily Paired Up To Reinvent Data Strategies, Exemplified Via Release Of OpenAI’s ChatGPT Code Interpreter

In today’s column, I am going to identify and explain the momentous pairing of both generative AI and data science. These two realms are each monumental in their own respective ways, thus they are worthy of rapt attention on a standalone basis individually. On top of that, when you connect the dots and bring them together as a working partnership, you have to admire and anticipate big changes that will arise, especially as the two fields collaboratively reinvent data strategies all told.

This is entirely tangible and real-world, not merely something abstract or obtuse.


I will first do a quick overview of generative AI. If you are already versed in generative AI, perhaps do a fast skim on this portion.

Foundations Of Generative AI

Generative AI is the latest and hottest form of AI and has caught our collective devout attention for being seemingly fluent in undertaking online interactive dialoguing and producing essays that appear to be composed by the human hand. In brief, generative AI makes use of complex mathematical and computational pattern-matching that can mimic human compositions by having been data-trained on the text and other content found on the Internet. For my detailed elaboration on how this works see the link here.

This AI Watches Millions Of Cars Daily And Tells Cops If You’re Driving Like A Criminal

Searching through a database of 1.6 billion license plate records collected over the last two years from locations across New York State, the AI determined that Zayas’ car was on a journey typical of a drug trafficker. According to a Department of Justice prosecutor filing, it made nine trips from Massachusetts to different parts of New York between October 2020 and August 2021 following routes known to be used by narcotics pushers and for conspicuously short stays. So on March 10 last year, Westchester PD pulled him over and searched his car, finding 112 grams of crack cocaine, a semiautomatic pistol and $34,000 in cash inside, according to court documents. A year later, Zayas pleaded guilty to a drug trafficking charge.

Human-aware AI helps accelerate scientific discoveries, new research shows

A new study explores how artificial intelligence can not only better predict new scientific discoveries but can also usefully expand them. The researchers, who published their work in Nature Human Behaviour, built models that could predict human inferences and the scientists who will make them.

The authors also built models that avoided human inference to generate scientifically promising “alien” hypotheses that would not likely be considered until the distant future, if at all. They argue that the two demonstrations—the first allowing for the acceleration of human discovery, while the second identifies and passes over its blind spots—means that a human-aware AI would allow for movement beyond the contemporary scientific frontier.

“If you build in awareness to what people are doing, you can improve prediction and leapfrog them to accelerate science,” says co-author James A. Evans, the Max Palevsky Professor in the Department of Sociology and director of the Knowledge Lab. “But you can also figure out what people can’t currently do, or won’t be able to do for decades or more into the future. You can augment them by providing them that kind of complementary intelligence.”

Artificial Intelligence Unlocks New Possibilities in Anti-Aging Medicine

A recent paper published in Nature Aging by researchers from Integrated Biosciences, a biotechnology company combining synthetic biology and machine learning.

Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) that deals with the development of algorithms and statistical models that enable computers to learn from data and make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed to do so. Machine learning is used to identify patterns in data, classify data into different categories, or make predictions about future events. It can be categorized into three main types of learning: supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning.

A.I. can kill your business in an instant. Just ask the CEO of Chegg

“The reason I was invited on is I’m the poster child for getting your ass kicked in the public markets by A.I. since I lost 40% of value in five minutes,” Rosensweig said. “So for those of you who didn’t want to take that, I took it for you,” Rosensweig said with apparent sarcasm. “My pleasure.”

Chegg’s new A.I. tool, called CheggMate, will be a personal learning assistant for students that creates bespoke lesson plans. Trained on a set of 100 million correct answers to 17 million new questions posed by students each year over the past decade, the A.I. will create a tailored learning experience for students, taking into account their learning style, the date of their exam or deadline, and even how they’re feeling that day, among other factors. It will also connect students to remote study groups and help them find job opportunities.

“Just imagine the following scenario,” Rosensweig said, “you start to have a conversation with somebody that knows you, knows how you’re feeling that day, knows what you’re studying, knows when your midterm is, knows what you’re good at, what you’re bad at, builds you a personalized plan, advocates for you.”

Fame ‘forces you to constantly reflect on your impact and motivation’ says Bjarke Ingels

Danish architect Bjarke Ingels discusses what it’s like to be one of the world’s best-known architects and the current limitations of AI in this interview.

Ingels sat down with Dezeen at the UIA World Congress of Architects in Copenhagen after delivering a keynote address to delegates.

As the session ended, the Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) founder and creative director was surrounded by fans hoping to get a photograph with him.

From Sci-Fi to Reality: Addressing AI Risks — with David Brin

AI had its nuclear bomb threshold. The biggest thing that happens to human technology maybe since the splitting of the atom.

A conversation with Science Fiction author and a NASA consultant David Brin about the existential risks of AI and what approach we can take to address these risks.


David Brin’s advice for new authors.

David Brin’s new WIRED article appraises the chances (nil) of an ‘AI moratorium.’ It then breaks down the three standard ‘AI-formats’ implicitly assumed by almost everyone in the field – corporate puppet, invasive blob, or ‘Skynet’. Formats that can only lead to disaster.
He propose instead a 4th — that AI entities just might be held accountable if they have individuality… even ‘soul’… https://www.wired.com/story/give-ever… Brin’s related NEWSWEEK op-ed (June’22) dealt with ‘empathy bots” that feign sapience. https://www.newsweek.com/soon-humanit… Here also is a YouTube pod where I give an expanded version: • AI is Alive!
