Bill Gates thinks AI is as revolutionary as the internet in the 1990s

Former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates has published a new blog where he refers to AI technology as revolutionary as mobile phones and the internet.

In the blog post titled ‘The Age of AI has begun,’ Gates refers to Open AI’s ChatGPT as the most important advancement in technology. Gates says that the development of AI is as fundamental as the creation of the microprocessor, the personal computer, the Internet and even the mobile phone. He goes on to say that he believes AI will change the way people work, learn, travel, get health care and communicate with each other.

Gates said he’s interested in what OpenAI is building and has been meeting their team since 2016, and that he challenged OpenAI to train an AI model pass an Advanced Placement biology exam. “I thought the challenge would keep them busy for two or three years. They finished it in just a few months,” he wrote.

In a demonstration to Gates, Open AI’s ChatGPT got 59/60 questions correct in the exam. Gates says this inspired him to think about the possibilities of what AI can achieve in the next five to 10 years.

The impact of AI on industries is expected to be massive. It will change the way businesses operate, communicate, and compete with each other. AI will also transform the way people work and learn, making it easier for them to access information and collaborate with others. The technology will also have a significant impact on healthcare, transportation, climate change and entertainment, according to Gates.

Microsoft has long been a supporter of OpenAI and its investment is a clear indication of the importance of AI in the future of technology. The $10 billion investment will enable OpenAI to develop AI models capable of solving complex problems and enhancing human capabilities.

AI-powered chatbot that writes essays has more than one million users

ChatGPT is the internet’s new AI-powered chatbot that sounds surprisingly human.

Created by Open AI, the technology answers follow-up questions, admits when it’s made a mistake, and refuses to answer inappropriate questions, according to its website. Open AI launched the technology on November 30th, and it already has more than one million users, according to co-founder Sam Altman.

Once users have signed up for the ChatGPT, they can ask several questions. But according to CNN, some users are getting creative. Twitter user Jonathan Stray asked the chatbot to rewrite the song “Baby Got Back” in the style of “Canterbury Tales.” Others have used the technology to write a letter to remove an account from a credit report and ask a question from an AP English exam.

But with all new technologies come issues, including spreading incorrect information and conserving biases based on the data used for training, CNN reports.

This is something Open AI is working on. “We’re using the Moderation API to warn or block certain types of unsafe content, but we expect it to have some false negatives and positives for now. We’re eager to collect user feedback to aid our ongoing work to improve this system,” the company says on its website.

ChatGPT is free to use for now, but it will be monetized down the road. “Average [cost] is probably single-digits cents per chat; trying to figure out more precisely and also how we can optimize it,” Altman tweeted.

Shutterstock partners with OpenAI to integrate DALL-E 2

Stock image giant Shutterstock today announced a partnership with OpenAI that will bring AI-generated content to its platform.

Shutterstock will sell stock images generated by OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 AI image generator, said the company in a blog post, with DALL-E 2 being directly integrated to Shutterstock within the coming months.

In instances where pictures contributed by Shutterstock creators would be used to train the text-to-image AI models, those creators would be compensated through a new “Contributor Fund.” Further, creators would also receive royalties when their intellectual property, in the form of images, are used by DALL-E.

“The mediums to express creativity are constantly evolving and expanding. We recognize that it is our great responsibility to embrace this evolution and to ensure that the generative technology that drives innovation is grounded in ethical practices,” said Shutterstock CEO Paul Hennessy.

Further, Shutterstock will ban AI-generated images that were not produced via its DALL-E integration. Doing this will allow Shutterstock to accurately compensate the creators whose images are being used by DALL-E.

According to a statement given to The Verge, “Contributors will receive a share of the entire contract value paid by platform partners. The share individual contributors receive will be proportionate to the volume of their content and metadata that is included in the purchased datasets.”

Shutterstock says creators will receive payouts on earning from images used to train the AI model and royalties every six months.
