Automation Builders Beware! Don’t Repeat The RPA Mistakes With Agentic Automation

stp2y0 CommentsNews
Generative AI (GenAI) is an enabler for more automation – and is now getting embedded in many software vendors’ platforms with different names and labels such as AI agents, AI-led micro-automations, and autonomous workplace assistants (AWA). All of these are somewhat overlapping terms for agentic automation that is starting to sprout as generative AI promises to elevate automation to unknown value heights. Forrester is explicitly encouraging to leverage GenAI in automation use cases of all sorts.

Is persona enough for personality? Using ChatGPT to reconstruct an agent’s latent personality from simple descriptions

stp2y0 CommentsViral News
arXiv:2406.12216v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Personality, a fundamental aspect of human cognition, contains a range of traits that influence behaviors, thoughts, and emotions. This paper explores the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) in reconstructing these complex cognitive attributes based only on simple descriptions containing socio-demographic and personality type information. Utilizing the HEXACO personality framework, our study examines the consistency of LLMs in recovering and predicting underlying (latent) personality dimensions from simple descriptions. Our experiments reveal a significant degree of consistency in personality reconstruction, although some inconsistencies and biases, such as a tendency to default to positive traits in the…

Instagram is reportedly recommending sexual Reels to teens as young as 13

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , ,
Instagram is recommending Reels with sexual content to teenagers as young as 13 even if they aren't specifically looking for racy videos, according to separate tests conducted by The Wall Street Journal and Northeastern University professor Laura Edelson. Both of them created new accounts and set their ages to 13-years-old for the tests, which mostly took place from January until April this year. Apparently, Instagram served moderately racy videos from the beginning, including those of women dancing sensually or those that focus on their bodies. Accounts that watched those videos and skipped other Reels then started getting recommendations for more…
