ThisWeek in AI - Interesting Reads

  • Generative AI: how will the new era of machine learning affect you? - The article discusses a breakthrough in artificial intelligence (AI) with the release of ChatGPT, a text-generating system created by OpenAI. ChatGPT is able to respond to queries with a short paragraph that looks like it was written by a human. This technology, along with other "generative" AI systems like GPT-3, have sparked a race to find new applications for the technology, such as writing code, creating images and videos, and suggesting new ideas for drugs. Microsoft's recent investment in OpenAI has solidified the technology's central role in the next phase of the AI revolution.

  • Member of Congress reads AI-generated speech on House floor - US Representative Jake Auchincloss delivered a speech on a bill that would create a U.S.-Israel artificial intelligence center that was generated by the AI chatbot ChatGPT on the floor of the US House, this is the first time an AI-written speech was read in Congress. The bill would establish a joint U.S.-Israel AI Center in the United States to serve as a hub for AI research and development in the public, private and education sectors. Auchincloss said part of the decision to read a ChatGPT-generated text was to help spur debate on AI and the challenges and opportunities created by it. He said he doesn't want to see a repeat of the advent of social media, which started small and ballooned faster than Congress could react.

  • DoD’s update to autonomous weapons policy accounts for AI’s ‘dramatic’ future role - The Pentagon has updated its guidance on autonomous weapon systems to include advances in AI, establish new senior-level oversight group and clarify roles of different offices. The new DoD directive 3000.09 maintains responsible approach to incorporating autonomy in weapon systems, and requires senior-level reviews for development and fielding of autonomous weapon systems, with a focus on allowing commanders and operators to exercise appropriate human judgment. The senior-level review will be conducted by the new Autonomous Weapon Systems Working Group, which is composed of various offices within the department that will support the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy.

  • ChatGPT passes MBA exam given by a Wharton professor - An AI-powered chatbot called ChatGPT has performed better than human students in a management course at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. The bot was able to answer basic operations management and process analysis questions, including those that were based on case studies. The bot's performance has "important implications for business school education," including the need to focus on collaboration between humans and AI, said Christian Terwiesch, the professor who ran the experiment.
