With “thanabots,” ChatGPT is making it possible to talk to the dead

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Since its public launch last year, the artificially intelligent chatbot ChatGPT has simultaneously wowed and frightened the world with its deep knowledge, its surprising empathy, and its undeniable potential to change the world in unforeseen, possibly miraculous or calamitous, ways. Now, it’s making it possible to digitally resurrect the dead in the form of chatbots trained on data of the deceased.

Developed by OpenAI, ChatGPT is an AI program called a large language model. Trained on more than 300 billion words from all sorts of sources on the Internet, ChatGPT responds to prompts from humans by predicting the word it should use next based on both its training and the prompt. The result is a stream of communication that’s both informative and human-like. ChatGPT has passed difficult tests, written scientific papers, and convinced many Microsoft scientists that it actually can understand language and utilize reason.

ChatGPT and other large language models can also receive more specific training to shape their responses. Programmer Jason Rohrer realized that he can create chatbots that emulate specific people by feeding ChatGPT examples of how they communicate and details of their lives. He started off with Star Trek’s Mr. Spock, as any good nerd would. He next launched a website called Project December, which allows paying customers to input all sorts of data and information and make their own personalized chatbots, even ones based upon deceased friends and family.

Why is it important to students Reskill to AI | Dr. Srinivas Padmanabhuni

Posted by in categories: employment, robotics/AI

This talks about the changing dynamics of jobs and relation to AI. While there are a lot of apprehensions of AI killing jobs but it highlights that there are several new jobs being created by AI. It also stresses the need for professionals and students to reskill themselves in areas as diverse as AI and automation. So the argument that AI is going to kill jobs is not valid. Instead it enforces the argument that reskilling is most important.

The potential for artificial intelligence in healthcare

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, business, employment, health, robotics/AI

The complexity and rise of data in healthcare means that artificial intelligence (AI) will increasingly be applied within the field. Several types of AI are already being employed by payers and providers of care, and life sciences companies. The key categories of applications involve diagnosis and treatment recommendations, patient engagement and adherence, and administrative activities. Although there are many instances in which AI can perform healthcare tasks as well or better than humans, implementation factors will prevent large-scale automation of healthcare professional jobs for a considerable period. Ethical issues in the application of AI to healthcare are also discussed.

KEYWORDS: Artificial intelligence, clinical decision support, electronic health record systems.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and related technologies are increasingly prevalent in business and society, and are beginning to be applied to healthcare. These technologies have the potential to transform many aspects of patient care, as well as administrative processes within provider, payer and pharmaceutical organisations.

Paramount, Forever 21 Data Breaches Set Stage for Follow-on Attacks

Posted by in category: cybercrime/malcode

A pair of breaches have hit media giant Paramount Global and fashion purveyor Forever 21, exposing personally identifiable information for thousands of people in the latter’s case and setting them up for a raft of follow-on attacks.

In Paramount’s case, the Hollywood bigwig disclosed in a data breach notification letter obtained by media that cyberattackers accessed PII for certain individuals for a month, between May and June of this year. The data included names, birthdates, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, passport numbers, and “information related to [the individual’s] relationship with Paramount.”

It’s unclear if the data pertains to website members, employees, customers, or other profiles — or how many are affected. The data breach notification letter, penned by an operations executive at Nickelodeon Animation Studio, did not elaborate.
