🦅 Chatty with ChatGPT? Most Americans Haven't Joined the Conversation Yet

According to a Pew Research Center survey, most Americans know ChatGPT, an open-access online chatbot known for its adaptability and human-like answer quality. Still, just a tiny percentage have used it.

Based on the survey, 58% of US adults are aware of ChatGPT, with 18% having heard a lot about it and 39% having heard a little about it.

However, just 14% have attempted it. These statistics demonstrate that persons with doctorate degrees, higher household incomes, and Asian adults are more likely to be familiar with the chatbot.

Gender and age also impact familiarity, with men and adults under 30 more likely to have heard of ChatGPT. Approximately one-third of people found it extremely or very beneficial, while 39% found it reasonably helpful.

Younger folks are more likely to benefit from AI than elderly adults.

Despite its rapid growth and widespread acceptance, ChatGPT has been chastised for occasionally delivering erroneous responses and convincing falsehoods, raising worries about its dependability and utility.

🌐 AI Over Olive Groves: OpenAI Chief Touts Israel's Potential in Tech Safeguarding

While considering prospective investment prospects in the country, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has highlighted the crucial role Israel may play in mitigating dangers related to artificial intelligence (AI).

Altman underlined the significance of adopting legislation to ensure ethical AI usage during his global tour to connect with world leaders and explore the possibilities and challenges of AI.

He lauded Israel for its focus on AI skills and proactive approach to technology growth.

Altman voiced optimism regarding AI's impact on jobs, claiming that while positions may change, human employment options will remain.

While the EU and the US explore their approaches to AI legislation, Israel is striving to strike a balance between innovation and protecting human rights and civic safeguards.

Altman also discussed AI with Israel's President and Prime Minister, recognizing Israel's significant potential in this subject.

🚀 Musk Sheds Light on China's AI Odyssey: Regulations on the Horizon

Following recent discussions with Chinese officials about the possible risks and need for monitoring of AI technologies, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Inc and owner of Twitter, has stated that China is likely to establish artificial intelligence (AI) laws.

During his trip, Musk spoke with many high-ranking Chinese government officials, including foreign, trade, and industry ministers and Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang.

This development follows the April release of draft regulations by China's Cyberspace Administration defining its strategy for governing generative AI services, including forcing enterprises to submit security evaluations before starting their offers.

The proposed guidelines emphasize China's support for AI innovation while insisting that AI-generated material adheres to the country's core socialist ideals.

Furthermore, providers will be held accountable for the authenticity of the data used to train AI models, and they will be expected to take steps to avoid discrimination in algorithm design and data training.

🧠 How We Visualize AI over Time

Philipp Schmitt investigates the visual portrayal of artificial intelligence over the years in his essay "Blueprints Of Intelligence," showing how such images may impact our perception and development of technology.

Schmitt contrasts mainstream media imagery, sometimes filled with science fiction motifs, with AI researchers' more abstract and technically oriented graphics.

He follows the evolution of AI visual representation, beginning with Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts' discovery of the artificial neuron, which was influenced by human neuroanatomy, and ending with the sophisticated, flowchart-like diagrams of modern neural network topologies.

Schmitt contends that, while these abstract representations are less approachable to the general public, they provide a more accurate portrayal of AI and inspire more profound questions of cognition and the ramifications of AI research.

🤖 The Lowdown on Robotic Process Automation

Robotic Process Automation, often referred to as RPA, is a technology that uses software programs, or "robots," to automate repetitive tasks that humans previously performed.

You have to talk about ‘The Terminator’ if you’re talking about artificial intelligence. I actually think that that’s way off. I don’t think that an artificially intelligent system that has superhuman intelligence will be violent. I do think that it will disrupt our culture.”

—Wayne Dyer

You cannot always control what goes on outside. But you can always control what goes on inside.
