ChatGPT’s use of a soundalike Scarlett Johansson reflects a troubling history of gender-stereotyping in technology

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

Actress Scarlett Johansson released a statement this week expressing anger and concern that OpenAI used a voice “eerily similar” to her own as a default voice for ChatGPT. The voice in question, called Sky, has been available to users since September 2023, but the resemblance to Johansson’s voice became clearer last week when OpenAI demoed an updated model called GPT-4o. Johansson claims that OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman previously asked her if she would provide her voice for ChatGPT, and she had declined the invitation. The warm and playful tone of Sky’s voice bears a striking resemblance to the digital companion…

Ethical, trust, and skill barriers slow generative AI progress in EMEA

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

76% of consumers in EMEA think AI will significantly impact the next five years, yet 47% question the value that AI will bring and 41% are worried about its applications. This is according to research from enterprise analytics AI firm Alteryx. Since the release of ChatGPT by OpenAI in November 2022, there has been significant buzz about the transformative potential of generative AI, with many considering it one of the most revolutionary technologies of our time. With a significant 79% of organisations reporting that generative AI contributes positively to business, it is evident that a gap needs to be addressed to demonstrate AI’s value to consumers both in…

Study Finds That 52 Percent of ChatGPT Answers to Programming Questions Are Wrong

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

Ah yes. And yet...Not So SmartIn recent years, computer programmers have flocked to chatbots like OpenAI's ChatGPT to help them code, dealing a blow to places like Stack Overflow, which had to lay off nearly 30 percent of its staff last year.The only problem? A team of researchers from Purdue University presented research this month at the Computer-Human Interaction conference that shows that 52 percent of programming answers generated by ChatGPT are incorrect.That's a staggeringly large proportion for a program that people are relying on to be accurate and precise, underlining what other end users like writers and teachers are experiencing:…

LeoLabs zeroes in on anomalies in satellite operations

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

COLORADO SPRINGS – LeoLabs, the Silicon Valley startup mapping activity in low-Earth orbit, is relying on artificial intelligence to spot anomalous satellite operations. A LeoLabs visualization tool shown at the 39th Space Symposium tracks maneuvers performed by satellites that change their orbits frequently. And it highlights maneuvers conducted by satellites that did not typically perform them. Three of the first satellites in a Chinese communications constellation that could include 12,000 satellites, for example, remained in stable orbits for months after they were launched in late 2023. “Then at the same time, all three executed an organized maneuver campaign,” Owen Marshall,…

Phone cameras can take in more light than the human eye − that’s why low-light events like the northern lights often look better through your phone camera

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

Smartphone cameras have significantly improved in recent years. Computational photography and AI allow these devices to capture stunning images that can surpass what we see with the naked eye. Photos of the northern lights, or aurora borealis, provide one particularly striking example. If you saw the northern lights during the geomagnetic storms in May 2024, you might have noticed that your smartphone made the photos look even more vivid than reality. Auroras, known as the northern lights (aurora borealis) or southern lights (aurora australis) occur when the solar wind disturbs Earth’s magnetic field. They appear as streaks of color across…

AI safety is not a model property

stp2y0 CommentsChat-GPT

The assumption that AI safety is a property of AI models is pervasive in the AI community. It is seen as so obvious that it is hardly ever explicitly stated. Because of this assumption:Companies have made big investments in red teaming their models before releasing them.Researchers are frantically trying to fix the brittleness of model alignment techniques.Some AI safety advocates seek to restrict open models given concerns that they might pose unique risks.Policymakers are trying to find the training compute threshold above which safety risks become serious enough to justify intervention (and lacking any meaningful basis for picking one, they…
