The research publishing gender gap is slowly getting better
A study by Nature Index and OpenAI has shown that the gender gap in chemistry and physical sciences is widest in countries with the highest percentage of female authors. It uses chatbot ‘ChatGPT’, created by OpenAI, to infer author genders on the basis of their most likely country of origin and the name–gender association trends in that country.
A Q andA about Open Artificial Intelligence and partnering with the government
OpenAI CEO Chris LeHane in a recent interview with NPR said the US and China are “in a race” to see who leads in artificial intelligence. “We’re bringing our leading-edge innovation and artificial intelligence technology into the US National Labs. But at the end of the day, what it’s really bringing is our leading-edge tech, the innovation that we’re building,” he added.
DeepMind has 3 top engineers from openai
OpenAI has entered a partnership with Anduril, a US defence startup that makes missiles, drones and software for the US military. This is the first time the firm has partnered with a US defence company. According to reports, Anduril will use OpenAI’s technology to assess drone threats more quickly and help operators make better decisions while staying out of harm’s way.
SearchGulp is Openai’s direct assault on the internet
OpenAI has announced that it is working on an AI-based search engine, SearchGPT, that it says will help users connect with publishers by prominently citing and linking to them in searches. It added that the platform will be available for download in the next few weeks. Notably, Microsoft had released a generative AI-powered version of Bing in 2023.
We still need the Next Big Leap in Artificial Intelligence
Anthropic, an artificial intelligence (AI) platform, has announced that its AI-based Claude chatbot, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, has been tested to be better than models from Facebook, Google, and OpenAI. Anthropic said Claude 3.5 Sonnet scored better than models on popular artificial intelligence tests, including a graduate level test of expertise in biology, physics, and chemistry.
There is a culture of risk and retaliation at Openai
OpenAI CEO Scott Altman, in a letter to AI CEOs, said, “We believe in AI’s potential to benefit society, however, we also see risks, such as the entrenchment of inequalities, manipulation and misinformation, and the possibility of human extinction.” “Ordinary whistleblower protections are inadequate because they focus on illegal activity, whereas many of the risks we are concerned about are not yet regulated,” Altman added.
The year that the Generative Election will be is 2024
A report by OpenAI, a cybersecurity firm, has claimed that Russia, Iran, China and Israel are experimenting with generative artificial intelligence (IAI) for foreign influence operations. The report said that Russia’s Doppleganger and China’s Spamoflauge are experimenting with the use of IAI. It added that generative AI cannot reliably produce good copy or code.
