ThisWeek in AI - Interesting Reads

• OpenAI announces ChatGPT Plus at $20 a month: OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT Plus, a $20 monthly subscription service that offers priority access to its AI chatbot, faster response times and early access to new features. The company is inviting US users from its waitlist over the coming weeks and plans to expand the service to other countries in the future. OpenAI still offers free access to the chatbot, with the paid service supporting free access for as many people as possible. The low price of ChatGPT Plus sets a standard for future AI chatbots, which will face competition from OpenAI's well-established product.

• If ChatGPT can do our homework, AI isn't the problem: ChatGPT, a large language model developed by OpenAI, generates responses to text prompts through the use of machine learning. The recent coverage of ChatGPT has caused controversy, with some asserting it will replace the college essay while others believe it will streamline education. However, a more realistic perspective is that ChatGPT is a helpful tool but has limitations, as it is an algorithm trained on vast amounts of data and can easily become a "bullshit generator" if not used with caution. The author argues that ChatGPT should be used as a tool to challenge students and make them think critically, rather than being used to write entire essays. They also argue that banning ChatGPT is not necessary and would not be effective, as it would be easily detectable and its inaccuracies would be spotted by graders. They conclude by saying ChatGPT's limitations allow for a better learning environment.

• Fact-Checkers Are Scrambling to Fight Disinformation With AI: Spain's media company Newtral is preparing for the impact of misinformation ahead of the country's regional elections. Fact-checkers face an uphill battle due to the proliferation of online disinformation and propaganda and the use of chatbots that can produce natural-sounding text at the click of a button. Fact-checking organizations are now developing AI-driven tools to help automate and accelerate their work, such as Newtral's multilingual AI language model, ClaimHunter. The system cuts the time it takes to identify statements worth checking by 70 to 80%. However, fact-checking is still a long way from being fully automated as large language models like ChatGPT cannot detect nuance in language and can make things up and amplify biases and stereotypes.

• The AI boom is here, and so are the lawsuits: AI has gone from science fiction to becoming an important part of our lives. Microsoft's $10 billion investment in OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, has given it the status of the future. The use of AI by digital publishers and students has become widespread. Lawsuits against OpenAI and similar companies argue that AI is illegally using other people's work to build its platforms and products, particularly the generative AI software like ChatGPT. The AI boom is triggering a reaction among creators about the nature of intellectual property and driving too fast into a new tech landscape without knowing the rules. AI proponents argue that engines can learn from existing data sets without permission, but lawsuits focus on the data's source and who has the right to use it.

• AI rockets ahead in vacuum of U.S. regulation: The sudden popularity of ChatGPT has sparked a tech-industry competition to incorporate AI into everyday products and decision-making without much government oversight. This lack of regulation has raised fears about bias, misinformation, fraud, and hate. U.S. lawmakers have discussed AI's benefits and dangers for years but have yet to fully regulate it. Some are pushing for fast, strong AI rules while others worry that premature regulation could hinder progress and competition with China. A voluntary AI framework was released this week by the National Institute of Standards and Technology to give companies guidance on using AI. Europe approved the Artificial Intelligence Regulation Act last December and the U.S. and Europe signed an agreement to collaborate on responsible AI advancements.
