Explained: What is Auto-GPT, the new ‘do-it-all’ AI tool and how it works

Posted by in categories: robotics/AI, transportation

If people are worried that Chat-GPT could be taking their jobs, they haven’t seen Auto-GPT yet.


Auto-GPT is an AI chatbot similar to ChatGPT and others. It is based on the GPT-4 language model of OpenAI, the same LLM that powers the ChatGPT. But, as the name implies, “Autonomous Artificial Intelligence Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer,” a step further, but what exactly is it? Let us go through what Auto-GPT is and how it works.

What is Auto-GPT

Noam Chomsky: AI Isn’t Coming For Us All, You Idiots

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

The world’s preeminent linguist has spoken — and he seems mighty tired of everyone’s whining about artificial intelligence as it stands today.

In an op-ed for the New York Times, Noam Chomsky said that although the current spate of AI chatbots such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Bing AI “have been hailed as the first glimmers on the horizon of artificial general intelligence” — the point at which AIs are able to think and act in ways superior to humans — we absolutely are not anywhere near that level yet.

“That day may come, but its dawn is not yet breaking, contrary to what can be read in hyperbolic headlines and reckoned by injudicious investments,” the Massachusetts Institute of Technology cognitive scientist mused.

FAA gives OK for SpaceX’s Starship test flight from Texas

Posted by in category: satellites

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — SpaceX has cleared the final hurdle for launching its new giant Starship from Texas as early as next week on a first test flight.

The Federal Aviation Administration issued the long-awaited license on Friday. SpaceX announced that Starship — the world’s biggest and most powerful rocket — could soar as soon as Monday.

No people or satellites will be aboard the 394-foot (120-meter) rocket. SpaceX will attempt to send the spacecraft atop the colossal booster around the world, from the southern tip of Texas all the way to Hawaii. The first stage will be discarded in the Gulf of Mexico and the spacecraft into the Pacific. No landings will be attempted for this debut.

No Stress: Superyacht that uses AI to monitor power consumption

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

The yacht No Stress has five operating modes using two sources of power.

As the world goes ga-ga over the wonders of artificial intelligence (AI) and how it can improve our daily use apps and make them more intuitive, Italian ship maker Rossinavi has deployed the technology to ease the crew’s workload onboard its latest yacht, No Stress.

The nearly 164 feet (50 m) long super yacht has a sporty design and looks set to cruise the ocean waters with its fast-displacement hull form. However, the ship is making headlines because, under the hood, a computer system has been tasked to monitor and manage power consumption while the passengers look to de-stress away from their hectic lives.

Amazon throws its hat into generative AI space, launches Bedrock

Posted by in categories: robotics/AI, space

Bedrock allows its users to build and scale generative AI applications like chatbots.

Becoming the latest actor to join the generative AI space race, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has launched Bedrock. Not to be confused with OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google’s Bard which are AI-powered chatbots.

What Bedrock does is allowing users to build and scale generative AI applications such as chatbots, text generation, image generation using language prompts, etc. There’s a range of pre-trained models that the users can customize and embed their own data into and then integrate and deploy in applications using the AWS tools.

GlobalData warns of cybersecurity threat to travel & tourism

Posted by in categories: business, cybercrime/malcode, finance

The travel and tourism sector has become a prime focus for cyberattacks in recent times, resulting in ransomware incidents arising from data breaches. Against this backdrop, cybersecurity concerns within the industry have escalated with a 4 pc year-on-year (YoY) rise in 2022, reflecting the prevailing sentiment, says GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.

In its report, Company Filing Analytics Database, GlobalData says that sentiment for airlines, travel services, and lodging rose by 6 pc, 4 pc, and 1 pc, respectively, in 2022 over 2021.

“Companies are consistently working on information and network security projects to set up a reliable technical protection and security management mechanism to ensure customer security and prevent data leakage. A severe data security incident can lead to operational disturbances and cause significant financial damage to the business,” says Misa Singh, Business Fundamentals Analyst at GlobalData.
