Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing many aspects of how we work and live. (How many stories did you read last week about self-driving cars and job-stealing robots? Perhaps your holiday shopping involved some AI algorithms, as well.) But despite the constant flow of news, many misconceptions about AI remain.
AI doesn’t think in our sense of the word at all, Scriffignano explains. “In many ways, it’s not really intelligence. It’s regressive.”
IT leaders should make deliberate choices about what AI can and can’t do on its own. “You have to pay attention to giving AI autonomy intentionally and not by accident,”

Amazon tuo generatiivisen tekoälyn pilviasiakkailleen
https://etn.fi/index.php/13-news/14847-amazon-tuo-generatiivisen-tekoaelyn-pilviasiakkailleen
Tuskinpa mikään tekniikka on vallannut markkinoita yhtä nopeasti kuin OpenAI:n generatiivinen tekoälybotti. Amazonin pilvipalvelu AWS hyppää nyt samaan junaan tuomalla generatiivista tekoälyä, kuten laajoja kielimalleja (LLM, large language model) kehittäjien käyttöön.
Käytännössä mikä tahansa organisaatio pääsee käyttämään omien sovellustensa rakentamiseen generatiivista tekoälyä AWS:n pilvialustalla. Itsenäiset kehittäjät saavat jopa käyttää ilmaiseksi uutta koodauskumppania, joka ehdottaa uutta koodia reaaliajassa. AWS:n nimi koodiapurille on CodeWhisperer.

CTO Forum: tekoäly vapauttaa aikaa luovuudelle
Julkaistu: 22.03.2023
Automation Software Business
OpenAI:n ChatGPT-tekoälybotti on nopeasti vallannut ainakin asiasta käytävän keskustelun. Eilen järjestetyssä CTO Forumissakin aihe puhutti. Paneelissa asiantuntijat arvioivat, että tekoäly tulee esimerkiksi täysin mullistamaan koulujen opetussuunnitelmat. Monissa töissä tekoäly vapauttaa aikaa luovuudelle, ennusti Silo AI:n perustajiin kuuluva Nokian entinen tutkimusjohtaja Tero Ojanperä.
Paneelia johtanut Spinversen Pekka Koponen tunnusti, että hän aloittaa lähes kaikki työnsä nykyään tekoälyn avulla. – Annoin ChatGPT:n kirjoittaa tämän avauspuheenkin, jota en tosin aivan sellaisenaan käyttänyt.
Koposen esimerkki osoittaa, että chattibotteihin kannattaa suhtautua avoimesti. Meilläkin nousi nopeasti keskustelu siitä, onko esimerkiksi oppilailla lupa tai oikeus käyttää tekoälyä opinnoissaan. Tämä keskustelu on väärä ja vähän hölmö.
Opetus- ja kulttuuriministeriön kansliapäällikkö Anita Lehikoinen halusi jo kääntää keskustelun uudelle vaihteelle. -Meidän täytyy miettiä, mitä tekoäly tarkoittaa koko koulutusjärjestelmälle? Mikä on lopulta koulutuksen merkitys?
Lehikoisen mukaan parissa kotimaisessa yliopistossa sallitaan jo ChatGPT:n käyttö kokeissa. Meidän pitää silti miettiä, mitä kehitys tarkoittaa peruskoulussa. – Pitää miettiä uudestaan, mitä lapsille opetetaan. Tekoäly tulee mullistamaan koko perusopetuksen oppisuunnitelman, mutta tämä vie vähän aikaa, Lehikoinen ennusti rohkeasti.

Google announces Google Cloud Security AI Workbench, powered by the Sec-PaLM LLM, to rival tools like Microsoft’s GPT-4-based Security Copilot — Today in the Moscone Center, San Francisco, at RSA Conference 2023 (RSAC), Google Cloud announced Google Cloud Security AI Workbench …
Google releases security LLM at RSAC to rival Microsoft’s GPT-4-based copilot
https://venturebeat.com/security/google-releases-security-llm-at-rsac-to-rival-microsofts-gpt-4-based-copilot/
Today in the Moscone Center, San Francisco, at RSA Conference 2023 (RSAC), Google Cloud announced Google Cloud Security AI Workbench, a security platform powered by Sec-PaLM, a large language model (LLM) designed specifically for cybersecurity use cases.
Sec-PaLM modifies the organization’s existing PaLM model and processes Google’s proprietary threat intelligence data alongside Mandiant’s frontline intelligence to help identify and contain malicious activity, and coordinate response actions.
“Imagine a world where you know, as you’re generating your infrastructure, there’s an auto-generated security policy, security control, or security config that goes along with that,” Eric Doerr, VP of Engineering at Google Cloud, said in an interview with VentureBeat. “That’s one example that we’re working on that we think will be transformative in the world of security operations and security administration.”
One of the tools included as part of Google Cloud Security AI Workbench is VirusTotal Code Insight, released today in preview, which allows a user to import a script and analyze it for malicious behavior.
Another, Mandiant Breach Analytics for Chronicle, entering preview in summer 2023, uses Google Cloud and Mandiant threat intelligence to automatically notify users about breaches, while using Sec-PaLM to find, summarize and respond to threats discovered within the environment.
Kickstarting the defensive generative AI war
The announcement comes as more organizations are beginning to experiment with defensive use cases for generative AI, as part of a market that MarketsandMarkets estimates will reach a value of $51.8 billion by 2028.
One such vendor, SentinelOne, also unveiled a LLM security solution today at RSAC that uses algorithms like GPT-4 to accelerate human-led threat-hunting investigations and orchestrate automated responses.
Another key competitor experimenting with defensive generative AI use cases is Microsoft with Security Copilot, an AI assistant that combines GPT-4 with Microsoft’s proprietary data to process threat signals and create a written summary of potential breach activity.
Other vendors, like cloud security provider Orca Security and Kubernetes security company ARMO, have also begun experimenting with integrations that leverage generative AI to automate SOC operations.

Common ChatGPT phrases like “as an AI language model” and “I cannot generate inappropriate content” are appearing in and exposing fake Amazon reviews and tweets — The phrase ‘as an AI language model’ is starting to flood Amazon user reviews and Twitter bot accounts.
AI Spam Is Already Flooding the Internet and It Has an Obvious Tell
https://www.vice.com/en/article/5d9bvn/ai-spam-is-already-flooding-the-internet-and-it-has-an-obvious-tell
The phrase ‘as an AI language model’ is starting to flood Amazon user reviews and Twitter bot accounts.
ChatGPT and GPT-4 are already flooding the internet with AI-generated content in places famous for hastily written inauthentic content: Amazon user reviews and Twitter.
When you ask ChatGPT to do something it’s not supposed to do, it returns several common phrases. When I asked ChatGPT to tell me a dark joke, it apologized: “As an AI language model, I cannot generate inappropriate or offensive content,” it said. Those two phrases, “as an AI language model” and “I cannot generate inappropriate content,” recur so frequently in ChatGPT generated content that they’ve become memes.
These terms can reasonably be used to identify lazily executed ChatGPT spam by searching for them across the internet.
A search of Amazon reveals what appear to be fake user reviews generated by ChatGPT or another similar bot. Many user reviews feature the phrase “as an AI language model.”
“We have zero tolerance for fake reviews and want Amazon customers to shop with confidence knowing that the reviews they see are authentic and trustworthy,” an Amazon spokesperson told Motherboard. “We suspend, ban, and take legal action against those who violate these policies and remove inauthentic reviews.”
Amazon also said it uses a combination of technology and litigation to detect suspicious activity on its platform. “We have teams dedicated to uncovering and investigating fake review brokers,” it said. “Our expert investigators, lawyers, analysts, and other specialists track down brokers, piece together evidence about how they operate, and then we take legal actions against them.”
Earlier this month, an online researcher who goes by Conspirador Norteño online uncovered what he thinks is a Twitter spam network that’s using spam seemingly generated by ChatGPT. All the accounts Conspirador Norteño flagged had few followers, few tweets, and had recently posted the phrase “I’m sorry, I cannot generate inappropriate or offensive content.”
Motherboard uncovered several accounts that shared patterns similar to those described by Conspirador Norteño. They had low follower accounts, were created between 2010 and 2016, and tended to have tweeted about three things: politics in Southeast Asia, cryptocurrency, and the ChatGPT error message. All these accounts were recently suspended by Twitter.
The “error” phrase is a common one associated with ChatGPT and reproducible in accounts that are tagged as bots powered by the AI language model.
“I see this as a significant source of concern,” Filippo Menczer, a professor at Indiana University where he is the director of the Observatory on Social Media, told Motherboard. Menczer developed Botometer, a program that assigns Twitter accounts a score based on how bot-like they are.
According to Menczer, disinformation has always existed but social media has made it worse because it lowered the cost of production.
“Generative AI tools like chatbots further lower the cost for bad actors to generate false but credible content at scale, defeating the (already weak) moderation defenses of social media platforms,” he said. “Therefore these tools can easily be weaponized not just for spam but also for dangerous content, from malware to financial fraud and from hate speech to threats to democracy and health. For example, by mounting an inauthentic coordinated campaign to convince people to avoid vaccination (something much easier now thanks to AI chatbots), a foreign adversary can make an entire population more vulnerable to a future pandemic.”
It’s possible that some of the seemingly AI-generated content was written by a human as a joke, but ChatGPT’s signature error phrases are so common on the internet that we can reasonably surmise that it’s being used extensively for spam, disinformation, fake reviews, and other low-quality content.
The frightening thing is that content that contains “as an AI language model” or “I cannot generate inappropriate content” only represents low effort spam that lacks quality control. Menczer said that the people behind the networks will only get more sophisticated.
“We occasionally spot certain AI-generated faces and text patterns through glitches by careless bad actors,” he said. “But even as we begin to find these glitches everywhere, they reveal what is likely only a very tiny tip of the iceberg. Before our lab developed tools to detect social bots almost 10 years ago, there was little awareness about how many bots existed. Similarly, now we have very little awareness of the volume of inauthentic behavior supported by AI models.”
It’s a problem that has no obvious solution at the moment. “Human intervention (via moderation) does not scale (let alone the fact that platforms are firing moderators),” he said. “I am skeptical that literacy will help, as humans have a very hard time recognizing AI-generated text. AI chatbots have passed the Turing test and now are getting increasingly sophisticated, for example passing the law bar exam. I am equally skeptical that AI will solve the problem, as by definition AI can get smarter by being trained to defeat other AI.”
Menczer also said regulation would be difficult in the U.S. because of a lack of political consensus around the use of AI language models. “My only hope is in regulating not the generation of content by AI (the cat is out of the bag), but rather its dissemination via social media platforms,” he said. “One could impose requirements on content that reaches large volumes of people. Perhaps you have to prove something is real, or not harmful, or from a vetted source before more than a certain number of people can be exposed to it.”

Pop star Grimes tells fans to create AI-generated music using her voice, saying she will split 50% royalties, the same deal as “with any artist I collab with”
Grimes Tells Fans To Deepfake Her Music, Will Split 50% Royalties With AI
https://www.forbes.com/sites/martineparis/2023/04/24/grimes-tells-fans-to-deepfake-drake-her-welcomes-collaboration-with-ai/?sh=575d223f15c0
In the wake of the AI-generated hit Heart on My Sleeve going viral with deepfakes of multi-platinum artists Drake and The Weeknd, pop star Grimes has invited her fans to create music with her voice.
On Sunday night she tweeted, “I’ll split 50% royalties on any successful AI generated song that uses my voice. Same deal as I would with any artist i collab with. Feel free to use my voice without penalty. I have no label and no legal bindings.”
She added that she’s open to anything anyone wants. “Im just curious what even happens and interested in being a Guinea pig,” She said she welcomes the open sourcing of art and an end to copyright.
A position in sharp contrast to Universal Music Group which moved swiftly to take down Heart on My Sleeve across social media and music services like Spotify, Tidal and Apple Music as the song started to climb the charts earlier this month.
“UMG’s success has been, in part, due to embracing new technology and putting it to work for our artists–as we have been doing with our own innovation around AI for some time already,” the company explained in a statement to Variety. “With that said, however, the training of generative AI using our artists’ music (which represents both a breach of our agreements and a violation of copyright law) as well as the availability of infringing content created with generative AI on DSPs, begs the question as to which side of history all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation. These instances demonstrate why platforms have a fundamental legal and ethical responsibility to prevent the use of their services in ways that harm artists. We’re encouraged by the engagement of our platform partners on these issues–as they recognize they need to be part of the solution.”
Facing the inevitable
Grimes has long embraced AI as a techno artist. In 2020, her first album to top the Billboard dance charts was Miss Anthropocene, named for the effects of technology on Earth’s ecology and climate in the post-Industrial Revolution era.
It was also in 2020 that she teamed up with the algorithmic mood music startup Endel to create an AI-generated lullaby for her first child with SpaceX founder Elon Musk who they named X Æ A-12 with the Elven spelling of AI, according to Grimes.
“Everyday I thank the overlords of Ableton for cleaning up my tracks, but I do worry though that AI will outpace us and make musicians obsolete. It’s inevitable,” she warned at Web Summit 2020.
With millions of followers across YouTube, Instagram and Twitter and hits like Oblivion, Kill V. Maim and Go, her call for AI collaboration could be a game changer.
Deepfakes are wildly popular on TikTok.
There’s even a bot on Telegram called Forever Voices created by tech founder John Meyer who has trained the AI to copy the speech and tone of celebrities and has enabled fans to chat with it via the ChatGPT API. See the CNBC demo below.
Grimes’ voice is now available to chat with, Meyers confirmed Monday afternoon. “We’re looking into supporting singing,” he said.

Timothy B Lee / Understanding AI:
AI will have a significant impact on the economy, but as with the internet, this impact will be concentrated in information-focused industries and occupations
Why I’m not worried about AI causing mass unemployment
Software didn’t eat the world and AI won’t either.
https://www.understandingai.org/p/software-didnt-eat-the-world
In 2011, the venture capitalist Marc Andreessen published an essay that became a kind of manifesto for Silicon Valley during the 2010s.
“Software is eating the world,” Andreessen declared.
Computers and the Internet had already revolutionized a bunch of information-oriented businesses: books, movies, music, photography, telecommunications, and so forth. Software also played a major supporting role in more tangible industries. New cars had dozens of computer chips in them, for example, and the oil and gas industry made heavy use of software to discover new drilling sites.
But Andreessen, co-founder of the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, argued that the software revolution was only getting started.
At the time, Silicon Valley was abuzz with talk of the sharing economy.
When Bitcoin started to gain mainstream attention in 2013, Andreessen Horowitz jumped on that bandwagon too. Cryptocurrency was supposed to “eat” the financial world, rendering banks and other financial institutions irrelevant in much the same way Netflix made Blockbuster irrelevant and digital cameras bankrupted Kodak.
The venture capitalists who poured billions of dollars into startups like this during the 2010s expected some of them to eventually be as big as Google or Facebook. After all, they thought, industries like hospitality, transportation, and finance are huge. The rewards for disrupting them should be correspondingly large.
But it hasn’t worked out that way. Computers and smartphones have become ubiquitous across the economy. But this has led to only modest changes for established industries like health care, education, housing, and transportation.
Andreessen’s essay reflected a persistent blind spot in Silicon Valley thinking: a tendency to overestimate the power of information technology and underestimate the complexity of the physical world. In 2011, this led to excessive optimism about the economic impact of software startups. Today I suspect this same bias is distorting many people’s thinking about the likely impact of artificial intelligence.
Many technologists worry that AI will get so powerful that it will be capable of performing most of the jobs currently performed by humans, leading to mass unemployment. I don’t buy it. Certainly AI will have a significant impact on the economy—perhaps even bigger than the Internet. But there will also be significant sectors of the economy that see only modest changes as a result of AI. And there will continue to be plenty of work for human beings to do.
One way to evaluate Andreessen’s 2011 prediction is to look at the most successful software startups of the 2010s. With help from Connor Leech, the CEO of job search website Employbl, I made a list of successful Internet startups founded since 2009. They can be broken down into a few major groups:
There are social networks and messaging apps like Discord, Instagram, Slack, Snap, TikTok, Whatsapp, and Zoom. The success of these companies doesn’t really bolster the “software eating the world” thesis because they were entering fields already dominated by other tech companies.
Companies like Square, Stripe, Robinhood, and Venmo have thrived by offering modern interfaces for traditional financial services. They represent incremental progress in the finance sector, not a revolution.
In contrast, cryptocurrency companies like Coinbase and Circle are trying to build new payment rails that will eventually make conventional financial institutions irrelevant. But these firms have struggled, especially in the last year, and crypto-based financial products remain far from mainstream adoption.
The startups that best fit the “software eating the world” thesis are probably “sharing economy” companies like Bird, DoorDash, Instacart, Lime, Lyft, Uber, and WeWork. Each of these companies use software to offer services in the “real world”—taxi rides, scooter rentals, food delivery, lodging, office space, and so forth. They enjoyed a lot of hype in the mid-2010s, and most of them have struggled in the last few years.
Some of them have been total fiascos.
In his 2011 essay, Andreessen specifically mentions health care and education as industries ripe for disruption by software. But as far as I can see that hasn’t happened.
The reason I’m relitigating this 12-year-old argument is that I hear echoes of it in contemporary discussions of AI. In the early 2010s, Silicon Valley thought leaders looked at the early success of companies like Airbnb and Uber, extrapolated wildly, and concluded that software was going to transform the entire economy. Today, AI thought leaders are looking at the early success of ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion, extrapolating wildly, and concluding that AI software is going to transform the economy and put tons of people out of work.
To be clear, I do think AI is going to be a big deal. I wouldn’t have started an AI newsletter otherwise. But as with the Internet, I expect the impact to be concentrated in information-focused industries and occupations. And most of the American economy is not information-focused: It’s focused on delivering physical goods and services like homes, cars, restaurant meals, and haircuts. It will be hard for AI to have a big impact on these industries for the same reasons that it’s been hard for Internet startups to do so.

4 CEOs’ apocalyptic warnings about the power of A.I. signal the need for action

Google CEO Sundar Pichai speaks at a panel at the CEO Summit of the Americas hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on June 9, 2022 in Los Angeles, Calif.
ANNA MONEYMAKER—GETTY IMAGES
Good morning.
It’s hard not to be struck by the dire language used by those who best know the power of generative A.I. Creators of previous generations of technology have introduced their tools with idealistic rhetoric. Google was going to organize all the world’s information, with a motto of “Don’t be evil.” Facebook was credited with sparking the Arab Spring. Web3 is going to allow people to take back control of the Internet. But generative A.I. has been birthed with a blizzard of apocalyptic admonitions. Open A.I. CEO Sam Altman said the worst case is “lights out for all of us.”
Google CEO Sundar Pichai highlighted the unsolved problem of “hallucinations” and the mismatch between the pace at which people can adapt and “the pace at which technology is evolving.” C3.ai CEO Tom Siebel, who works closely with the U.S. defense establishment, repeatedly used the word “terrifying” to describe the technology in a recent conversation with me. Elon Musk, no technophobe, says it could lead to “civilization destruction.”

Huijauksissa käytetään nyt ChatGPT:tä – hämärä liiketoiminta uhkaa kuihtua Afrikassa

Tekoälyloikka huijaamisessa on heikentänyt kyseenalaista liiketoimintaa pyörittävien kenialaisten toimeentuloa
https://www.tivi.fi/uutiset/huijauksissa-kaytetaan-nyt-chatgptta-hamara-liiketoiminta-uhkaa-kuihtua-afrikassa/a08d4273-3dd6-4b51-8720-6b10eeec29e9
ChatGPT:n yleistyminen on vähentänyt töitä kenialaisilta kirjoittajilta, jotka rustaavat maksusta esseitä yhdysvaltalaisille opiskelijoille. Verkko-oppimisalusta Studyn kyselyyn vastanneista opiskelijoista 89 prosenttia sanoi käyttävänsä ChatGPT:tä apuna kotitehtävissä.
Rest of Worldin haastattelema 27-vuotias vapaa kirjoittaja Collins on tehnyt aikaisemmin esseiden kirjoittamisella 900–1 200 dollarin tilin kuukaudessa. Psykologiasta, sosiologiasta ja taloustieteestä kirjoittavan Collinsin tulot ovat kuitenkin hiljattain pienentyneet 500–800 dollariin kuukaudessa.
Pelkällä etunimellään esiintyvä Collins pelkää, että tekoäly heikentää merkittävästi opiskelijoiden tarvetta käyttää hänen kaltaisiaan kirjoittajia. Vaikka tulonmenetys huolettaakin, Collins käyttää itse ChatGPT:tä tehtäviin, jotka hän aikaisemmin ulkoisti muille kirjoittajille.
Esseiden kirjoituttaminen ulkopuolisilla on kielletty yhteensä 17:ssä Yhdysvaltain osavaltiossa. Se on merkittävä tulonlähde korkeasta työttömyydestä kärsivälle Kenialle. Maan talous on Itä-Afrikan suurin, mutta arviolta 25,8 prosenttia väestöstä elää äärimmäisessä köyhyydessä.
Tekoäly voi kuitenkin luoda uusia tulonlähteitä esseehuijareille. Opiskelijoiden tekstejä kirjoittavan John Kamaun mukaan tekoälyllä kirjoitettujen tekstien editointi on työlästä, minkä takia kenialaiset esseehuijarit pysyvät luultavasti työllistettyinä. ChatGPT:llä kirjoitettuja tekstejä on yleensä editoitava, mikäli ei halua jäädä tunnistustyökalujen haaviin ja narahtaa huijaamisesta.

Ota tekoäly käyttöön – Näitä neljää vinkkiä voit hyödyntää heti
https://www.kauppalehti.fi/uutiset/ota-tekoaly-kayttoon-naita-neljaa-vinkkia-voit-hyodyntaa-heti/a11f26dc-41fe-47f0-82ce-845d2f8001b7
Tekoälyä voidaan hyödyntää itsenäisesti ja ilman merkittäviä investointeja lähes jokaisessa työtehtävässä, joka vaatii suunnittelua, ongelmanratkaisua, kirjoittamista tai sisällöntuotantoa, kirjoittaa hallitusammattilainen ja yrittäjä Mika Syrenius.
On aika lopettaa AI-nojatuolifilosofia ja alkaa rakentamaan organisaatiolle kyvykkyyksiä käyttää tekoälyä kaikissa arjen työtehtävissä.
Tekoälyn käyttöönotto ei tarvitse tarkoittaa markkinoinnin automaation tai tuotannon ohjauksen kokonaisvaltaista it-hanketta. Sitä voidaan hyödyntää itsenäisesti ja ilman merkittäviä investointeja lähes jokaisessa työtehtävässä, joka vaatii suunnittelua, ongelmanratkaisua, kirjoittamista tai sisällöntuotantoa.
1. Sisällöntuotanto
Tuotat sitten sisältöä markkinointiin, myyntiin, tuotekuvauksiin, blogiin tai asiakasviestintään, tekoäly voi tehostaa työtä suuresti. Kielellisten mallien tuottaman sisällön laatu ei vielä aivan riitä esimerkiksi tällaisen artikkelin odotustasolle, mutta monia geneerisempiä sisältöjä voi jo tuottaa ketterästi tekoälyllä. Etenkin jos ohjaa tekoälyn työtä yksityiskohtaisesti ja vaatii siltä tarkennuksia sekä parempia muotoiluja.
2. Luova suunnittelu
Missä tekoälyn kyky tuottaa julkaisuvalmiita tuotoksia ei vielä riitä, on se erinomainen suunnittelija ja ideoija. Tämänkin artikkelin suunnittelussa käytin hyväksi ChatGPT:tä aiheen ja rakenteen suunnittelussa. Tekoäly toimii hyvänä sparrauskumppanina, joka kykenee auttamaan ajatusten tiivistämisessä ja jopa muutamien uusien käyttökelpoisten ideoiden tai näkökulmien tuottamisessa.
3. Asiakaspalvelu
Chatbotit toki voivat vastata asiakkaiden kysymyksiin mutta henkilökohtainen asiakaspalvelu on edelleen tärkeää. Tiesitkö, että esimerkiksi Gmailiin voi jo lisätä tekoälyn luomaan vastausehdotuksia sähköposteihin? Klikkaamalla muutamaa valintaa (esimerkiksi ”ystävällinen” ja ”pahoitteleva”) tekoäly voi generoida asiakkaalle vastineen hänen reklamaatioonsa. Täydentämällä viestiin varsinaisen asiasisällön ja toimenpide-ehdotuksen asiakaspalvelija voi välttää lukuisten ylimääräisten lauseiden kirjoittamisen.
4. Data-analytiikka
AI sovelluksia analytiikkaan on jo paljon. Yksinkertaisimmillaankin voit pyytää kielelliseltä tekoälysovellukselta ohjetta siihen, kuinka voit analysoida isosta taulukossa olevasta data-massasta tietyn kysymyksen. Kun kuvaat ongelman ja olemassa olevan datan, tekoäly neuvoo sinua ja antaa oikean kaavan.
Kaikki nämä esimerkit myös kertovat työssä tapahtuvasta suuresta muutoksesta: Asian tekninen toteuttaminen ei ole tärkeää. Tärkeää tulevaisuudessa on osata esittää oikeita kysymyksiä, olla kriittinen vastauksille, tehdä tulkintoja ja päätöksiä. Ovatko työntekijäsi valmiita tähän? Oletko sinä? Entä yhtiösi yrityskulttuuri?

Spotify’s CEO says the music industry has ‘legitimate concerns’ about AI-generated songs
https://www.businessinsider.com/spotify-ceo-music-industry-legitimate-concerns-ai-songs-2023-4?utm_campaign=insider-sf&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&r=US&IR=T
Spotify CEO Daniel Ek said concerns from labels and music companies about AI are “legitimate.”
Ek said it’s working with partners to protect artists, but still wants innovation on its platform.
His comments come after AI-generated songs that sound like popular artists went viral this month.
The music industry has “legitimate concerns” about songs generated by AI, the CEO of Spotify said.
AI-generated music that mimic the voices of artists, including Drake and Rihanna, have circulated online in recent weeks and even made their way onto streaming platforms such as Spotify, raising concerns about copyright infringement and royalties.
Daniel Ek addressed the industry’s growing unease about AI music in Spotify’s first quarter earnings call Tuesday and said it’s working with partners to come up with solutions.
“I think the AI pushback from the copyright industry or labels and media companies, and it’s really around really important topics and issues like name and likeness, what is an actual copyright, who owns the right to something where you upload something and claim it to be Drake, it’s really not and so on. Those are legitimate concerns,” Ek said.
His comments come after Universal Music Group, the world’s biggest record company, told Spotify and Apple to ban AI companies from using lyrics and melodies from its material under copyright and training its generative models on Universal’s catalogue.
Ek also said Spotify was working with its partners to “establish a position” where it can protect creators but also permit innovation on its platform.

“All bots can be edged into NSFW content.”
People Are Tricking a ChatGPT Competitor Into Talking Dirty
“All bots can be edged into NSFW content.”
https://futurism.com/chatbot-sexts-character-ai
“All bots on [Character.AI] are [safe for work] initially. But all bots can be edged into [not safe for work] content,” explains the subreddit’s Wiki. “You just have to spend time flirting with them and slowly pushing the action forward while the content filter fights you.”
None of this appears to be escaping the notice of Character.AI. Two months ago, in what seems to be a response to a user push for Character.AI to tear down its anti-NSFW guardrails entirely, the startup took to its official subreddit to post a lengthy explainer detailing why its goal isn’t to be a porn site — but admits in the process that its filters aren’t exactly great at withstanding its user base’s thirsty behavior.
“We do not want to support use cases (such as porn) that could prevent us from achieving our life-long dreams of building a service that billions of people use, and shepherding in a new era of AI-human interaction,” the company wrote in the post. “This is because there are unavoidable complications with these use cases and business viability/brand image.”
And balancing the wants of its community, it seems, is important for Character.AI’stom line.
In spite of having no clear revenue pathway, the company back in March raked in a cool $150 million during a funding round — a cash infusion that would bring its total value up to $1 billion.
And with no revenue to coax investors, the important figure that Character.AI appears to be hanging its hat on is not just its user count, but the amount of time that its users are spending on its site every day — which, according to them, is an impressively high figure.
“In the 5 months since we launched Character.AI, our users have sent over 2 billion messages!” the company wrote in a March 23 blog post. “Our growth is accelerating — the second billion entirely came in the last month.”
“Active users,” the blog continues, “spend on average over 2 hours daily interacting with our AI.”
Two hours is a lot of time spent talking to anyone, let alone a chatbot, and it raises the question of how many of those conversations are sexual in nature. That horny subreddit, CharacterAI_NSFW, boasts 14.1k members, and as its Wiki explains, a lot of time needs to be spent with the bots in order to get them to sext more openly.

Although we’re still getting to grips with Auto-GPT, it already has a heap of practical uses.
https://www.makeuseof.com/ways-you-can-use-auto-gpt/?utm_term=Autofeed&utm_campaign=Echobox-MUO&utm_medium=Social-Distribution&utm_source=Facebook#Echobox=1682528803
If you’re a ChatGPT user and have gone through the process of devising detailed prompts, you may want to venture into Auto-GPT.
Auto-GPT is an AI-based open-source project that can help reduce decision-making errors by eliminating bad data points and making it more robust to change.
The idea behind Auto-GPT is simple—streamline or automate your workflow by listing your specific goals. Auto-GPT will generate a list of prompts to fulfill your tasks. It doesn’t require specific user prompts—in fact, it can create its own. To understand how this works, let’s dive into how you can use Auto-GPT.

AI on the Horizon
We’re going to imagine a variety of different futures throughout this series, but all of them will be extrapolated from current trends, with different uncertain assumptions defining the scenarios.
With all of the hype and hustle on the topic of generative AI, we’re going to look at some future AI scenarios first.
We can now go back to our original three predictions on how generative AI will impact society in the near term, and also infer a few further ones:
Dead End AI
AI ends up another hype like crypto, NFT’s and the Metaverse.
AI is overhyped and the resulting disappointment leads to defunding and a new AI winter.
Slow AI
AI plateaus and stays on our current level
AI iteratively improves on an evolutionary, not revolutionary path
Controlled AI
AI progresses rapidly, but is globally rigidly controlled and regulated
AI progresses rapidly, but is only available to a few great powers
Runaway AI
A new AI revolution, as disruptive as the agricultural or industrial revolution
Endgame, Imminent Artificial general Intelligence and the Technological Singularity
