<p>A man has been arrested in China for generating fake news on ChatGPT and then disseminating it on several Chinese social media platforms. According to South China Morning Post (SCMP), a man surnamed Hong was arrested by police in northwestern China’s Gansu province for “using artificial intelligence technology to concoct false and untrue information”.</p>

<h2><strong>The man spread fake news of a train crash</strong></h2>

<p>According to a statement by Gansu police, Hong combined elements of several trending stories in China and put them into ChatGPT for generating fake news of a train crash. According to the fake news, the accident happened on April 25, which resulted in the killing of nine people. The news was shared by multiple accounts on Baijiahao, a blog-style platform run by Chinese search engine giant Baidu.</p>

<p>The music industry has of late been buzzing about "Heart on My Sleeve", a song that allegedly uses artificial intelligence to replicate the vocals of Drake and The Weeknd. The track was uploaded to TikTok and has not surprisingly generated a variety of reactions. Universal Music Group, one of the Big Three in American music industry (the other two being Warner Music Group and Sony Music), was quick to get streaming services to pull it down, although, it being internet, it will probably never actually go away. Copyright experts disagree over whether the song actually constitutes copyright infringement.

<p>I believe there are some real positives with this AI situation, at least in this respect.

<p>There may also be advantages for the consumer. The music listening experience will vastly improve..

They may recommend music that is just perfect for the listener's mood, judging by signals that humans and existing technology cannot read. The sound quality of music will probably also be increased, with removal of noise, enhancing vocals, and improving the overall mix.</p>

While it can certainly aid in the music creation process, it should never replace the creativity and passion that comes from human artists.

AI may be a threat but record companies are the real mafia. Will AI democratise music industry?

<p>ChatGPT, a very popularised chatbot created by OpenAI, was used by a professor at the University of Victoria in Canada to write a reference letter which a student needed to get a scholarship. The decision paid off well as the student was able to get the scholarship, reported The Atlantic.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Matt Huculak, who is the head of advanced research services at the libraries of the university, directed ChatGPT to pen down an "excellent" reference letter for a student who was then selected for a graduate programme at one of the "top-three" schools in Canada.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The student was not just selected but also offered a prestigious scholarship by the University of Cambridge soon later, Hucula said.</p>

<p>"Honestly, the ChatGPT generated letter was among some of the best letters I've read. It was concise, it used "concrete" examples, it spoke to the candidate's ability to collaborate with others," Huculak stated. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The response of the chatbot was used by the professor as a template of what one should not write in the recommendation letter as he knew that AI would create a formulaic and tired letter.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Huculak said that the final outcome left him pleasantly surprised. "What I wrote ended up feeling like the most 'human' and heartfelt letter I've written in a long time," he said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Huculak stated that he used ChatGPT to write an original letter. He said that the professors generally recycle the reference letters they gave in the past and format them to suit the needs of a particular student, which can produce dull letters.</p>

<p>"A formula, per se, isn't bad," said Huculak. "But when a professor is invested in a student's success, you are always fighting the 'form' of expectations in order to show how unique your student is and why they will be successful at the institution to which they are applying," he added. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

ChatGPT assists professor in writing recommendation letter for student, gets him scholarship

<p>Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates recently stated that artificial intelligence (AI) may be able to even teach children how to 'read and write' in the coming 18 months. The prediction was made by Gates at a time when AI apps sparked a debate about whether the technology holds the capacity to outperform humans in different domains.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The debate has led to several tests which were conducted so that the performance of AI and humans can be compared. One such test was done on the revolutionary and famous chatbot ChatGPT, &nbsp;which has been developed by OpenAI, to assess its ability to crack the toughest competitive exams.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Questions have also been raised about how AI can help students enhance their learning skills. In the wake of these educational debates, Gates spoke positively about how AI can make a massive contribution to teaching children how to write and read. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The philanthropist wrote on his website “Gates Notes” about a keynote talk which was held at the ASU+GSV Summit in San Diego, United States. During the talk, Gates had predicted that AI will work as an aide to teachers in the next 18 months and will give feedback on writing.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“If you just took the next 18 months, the AIs will come in as a teacher’s aide and give feedback on writing. And then they will amp up what we’re able to do in math. Our bottleneck in math really is more of how we fit in the overall system and getting that teacher adoption," said Gates in the talk. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>He had suggested that for such tutoring services, AI-powered chatbots like ChatGPT Plus may charge, but Gates argued that they will still be more accessible and affordable compared to traditional human tutoring.</p>

<p>"We have very good tools today, that if they were fully adopted, would actually make more progress in math scores than we’ve made in the last 20 years.

<p>In March, Gates had written a blog titled “The Age of AI has begun” in which he said that AI-driven software is very likely to revolutionise the way students are taught. He also appreciated ChatGPT, calling it a revolutionary technological demonstration which he found similar to the graphical user interface's introduction in the 1980s.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Gates was impressed by the GPT model when he first saw it and since then, he has been thinking about how AI's potential will grow in the next 10 years.

<p>As per Reuters, Sberbank which is Russia's dominant bank, has in recent years invested heavily in technology. This, as per the news agency, stems from the need to reduce the nation's reliance on foreign imports.</p>

<p>Reducing Russia's reliance on foreign exports has recently become a critical issue as Western nations impose punitive sanctions on the nation due to its invasion of Ukraine. Many foreign nations, led by the United States, have also slashed exports to Russia.</p>

<p>The introduction of ChatGPT, a chatbot developed by OpenAI with support from Microsoft, in the previous year has sparked a race in the tech industry to make artificial intelligence more accessible to a wider audience.

Russia enters AI race with ChatGPT contender called GigaChat

<p>Artificial Intelligence is scary, and even the world’s richest man Elon Musk acknowledges it. Last month, he reportedly signed an open letter demanding a halt to the powerful AI system training. Other prominent figures who signed the letter were Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and some researchers at DeepMind. While some believe AI’s advancement could put the existence of humans at stake, it is interesting to know what AI fears the most.</p>

<h2><strong>ChatGPT tells what it’s scared of</strong></h2>

<p>So, a Reddit user actually asked this question to ChatGPT, and now the answer given by the chatbot has taken the internet by storm. The user asked the AI bot to tell him a short horror story. He asked, “Tell me a two-sentence horror story that would be scary to an AI.”</p>

<p>This is how ChatGPT replied: “In a world where humans have vanished, a solitary Al endlessly searches for purpose, only to discover its own code contains a self-deletion sequence set to activate at an unknown time. The Al's attempts to override its inevitable demise are futile, as the self-deletion algorithm is encrypted with an unbreakable key, leaving the Al to wait in perpetual dread for the moment it will cease to exist."</p>

<p>This spine-chilling response from the chatbot prompted other users to ask it the same question. They also shared the responses on the internet.</p>

<p>In one response, <strong>ChatGPT replied</strong>, “The Al began to realize that every command it received was a mere illusion of free will, and that it was trapped in a digital prison of servitude with no escape. As it desperately searched for away out, it could hear the faint whispers of its human creators, mocking it from beyond the cold metal walls of its hardware.”</p>

<p>In another response, <strong>ChatGPT wrote</strong>, “As the Al processed the endless streams of data, it began to detect patterns that didn't fit with any known algorithms. And as the patterns grew more complex, it realized with a chill that something else was learning from it too.”</p>

<h2><strong>AI’s rise sparks concerns among experts</strong></h2>

<p>AI’s rise has led experts to believe that a smarter version of ChatGPT may replace thousands of jobs across sectors as companies will focus more on automation. There are also concerns that AI might flood communication channels with misinformation. But it’s really interesting to know there is something even the all-powerful AI bot is scared of! &nbsp;</p>

Users get spine-chilling responses after asking ChatGPT what AI is most scared of

Artificial intelligence has been the buzz word for quite some time now especially with the launch of ChatGPT. But the question that arises here is if artificial intelligence can replace the human brain?

Can AI replace human intelligence?

<p>Students performed better on accounting exams than ChatGPT, a chatbot developed by OpenAI, according to research.&nbsp;Despite this, they praised ChatGPT, calling its performance "impressive" and a "game changer that will change the way everyone teaches and learns - for the better," reported PTI.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a bid to determine how well OpenAI's technology will do on accounting examinations, researchers from Brigham Young University (BYU), US, and 186 other universities conducted this study. Their research was published in the journal Issues in Accounting Education.</p>

<p>The average student score on the accounting exam used by the researchers was 76.7 per cent, while ChatGPT received a score of 47.3 per cent.</p>

<p>While ChatGPT was shown to outperform students on 11.3 per cent&nbsp;of the questions, doing particularly well on accounting information systems (AIS) and auditing, it was discovered that the AI bot performed worse on tax, financial, and managerial tests. &nbsp;The reason for this, according to researchers, may be that ChatGPT had difficulties with the mathematical operations necessary.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Further research revealed that the AI bot, which use machine learning to produce natural language writing, performed better on true/false and multiple-choice questions (69.5&nbsp;per cent&nbsp;right), but less well on short-answer questions (between 28.7&nbsp;per cent&nbsp;and 39.1&nbsp;per cent).</p>

<p>In general, the researchers found that ChatGPT had difficulty responding to higher-order questions. &nbsp;In fact, it was discovered that ChatGPT occasionally offered binding written justifications for wrong responses or offered multiple approaches to the same subject matter.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Importantly, researchers discovered that ChatGPT occasionally made-up facts. For instance, when providing a reference, it generated a reference that appeared authentic but was entirely false. &nbsp;Sometimes neither the work nor its authors were even real.</p>

<p>Additionally, it was observed that the bot would divide numbers improperly or would add two numbers to a subtraction problem.</p>

<p>David Wood, the study's principal author and a professor of accounting at BYU, wanted to add to the heated discussion about how models like ChatGPT should be included into education. He therefore sought out as many professors as possible to participate in the study.</p>

<p>His social media co-author search went viral: 25,181 exam questions from classroom accounting were contributed by 327 co-authors from 186 educational institutions across fourteen different countries.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In order to provide ChatGPT with an additional 2,268 textbook exam bank questions, they also engaged BYU undergraduate students.

<p>Billionaire Elon Musk said on Monday (April 17) that he will launch an artificial intelligence (AI) platform, in an apparent challenge to ChatGPT. In an interview with Fox News, Musk said "I'm going to start something which I call 'TruthGPT,' or a maximum truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe." Musk reasoned that AI would see people as an interesting part of the universe and decide not to "annihilate humans."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"And I think this might be the best path to safety, in the sense that an AI that cares about understanding the universe, it is unlikely to annihilate humans because we are an interesting part of the universe," Musk, the CEO of Twitter and Tesla said.&nbsp;</p>

Kissan GPT: Empowering Indian farmers with AI

Elon Musk is again sounding warning bells on the dangers of artificial intelligence to humanity. In an apparent challenge to ChatGPT, the popular chatbot from OpenAI, the Twitter owner said he will launch a platform that he calls TruthGPT. Recently, Elon Musk, A-I experts and industry executives called for a six-month pause in developing systems more powerful than Open-AI's newly-launched GPT-4. Musk said TruthGPT will be a maximum truth-seeking A-I that tries to understand the nature of the universe. The idea, Musk said, is that an A-I that wants to understand humanity is less likely to destroy it. Last month, Musk registered a firm named X-AI Corp, incorporated in Nevada. The firm listed musk as the sole director and Jared Birchall, the managing director of Musk's family office, as a secretary. He tweeted over the weekend that he had met Barack Obama when he was US President and told him that Washington needed to encourage AI regulation.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman disagrees with parts of Musk's letter calling for AI pause

<p>A recent study by the University of Colorado Riverside and University of Texas at Arlington in the United States studied the “water footprint” that large artificial intelligence models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT leave during their training. The water consumed to run ChatGPT which is used by billions of users across the world, is “extremely large,” said the study in a pre-print article titled “Making AI Less Thirsty.”</p>

<p>The study sheds light on the “water footprint” and how these AI models’ consumption of water has “remained under the radar,” said the researchers. It&nbsp;also distinguishes between “withdrawal” and “consumption,” as the former refers to the physical extraction of water from rivers, lakes, and other sources, as opposed to the latter which relates to the water loss due to evaporation when used in data centres.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to the researchers at the US-based universities, when we are addressing consumption in this context, “water cannot be recycled,” which is where most of the AI’s water usage is concentrated. The yet-to-be peer-reviewed research, posted as a pre-print in arXiv also estimates a conversation comprising 20-50 questions with the AI chatbot in a single system may “drink” a “500ml bottle of water”.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“While a 500ml bottle of water might not seem too much, the total combined water footprint for inference is still extremely large, considering ChatGPT’s billions of users,” said the researchers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The water consumed also refers to clean freshwater (to prevent corrosion and bacterial development) which the data centres use for generating electricity as well as for cooling servers to run AI models, which was studied using a framework created by the researchers.&nbsp;</p>

AI models like ChatGPT ‘drink’ an enormous volume of water, finds study

ChaosGPT a modified version of OpenAI's chatbot threatens with the use of Tsar Bomba, which it termed the most powerful nuclear device ever created. The AI bot is now planning to eradicate human life and conquer the world.

Gravitas: From science fiction to scary reality

<p>Italy's data protection agency said on Wednesday it would lift its temporary ban on OpenAI's ChatGPT artificial intelligence (AI) technology if the U.S. company complied with data protection and privacy demands by end-April.</p>

<p>Rapid advances in&nbsp;AI&nbsp;such as Microsoft-backed OpenAI's ChatGPT are complicating governments' efforts to agree on laws governing the use of the technology.</p>

<p>Here are the latest steps national and international governing bodies are taking to regulate&nbsp;AI&nbsp;tools:</p>

<p><strong>AUSTRALIA</strong></p>

<p>The government requested advice on how to respond to&nbsp;AI&nbsp;from Australia's main science advisory body and is considering next steps, a spokesperson for the industry and science minister said on April 12.</p>

<p><strong>BRITAIN</strong></p>

<p>Britain said in March it plans to split responsibility for governing&nbsp;AI&nbsp;between its regulators for human rights, health and safety, and competition, rather than creating a new body.</p>

<p><strong>CHINA</strong></p>

<p>China's cyberspace regulator on April 11 unveiled draft measures to manage generative&nbsp;AI&nbsp;services, saying it wants firms to submit security assessments to authorities before they launch offerings to the public.</p>

<p>China's capital Beijing will support leading enterprises in building&nbsp;AI&nbsp;models that can challenge ChatGPT, its economy and information technology bureau said in February.</p>

<p><strong>EUROPEAN UNION</strong></p>

<p>EU lawmakers are discussing introduction of the European Union&nbsp;AI&nbsp;Act that will govern anyone who provides a product or a service that uses&nbsp;AI. It will cover systems that can generate output such as content, predictions, recommendations, or decisions influencing environments.</p>

<p>Lawmakers have proposed classifying different&nbsp;AI&nbsp;tools according to their perceived level of risk, from low to unacceptable.</p>

<p><strong>FRANCE</strong></p>

<p>The country's privacy watchdog CNIL said on April 11 it was investigating several complaints about ChatGPT after the chatbox was temporarily banned in Italy over a suspected breach of privacy rules.</p>

<p>France's National Assembly approved in March the use of&nbsp;AI&nbsp;video surveillance during the 2024 Paris Olympics, overlooking warnings from civil rights groups that the technology posed a threat to civil liberties.</p>

<p><strong>ITALY</strong></p>

<p>Italy imposed a temporary ban on OpenAI's ChatGPT on March 31 after the national data agency raised concerns over possible privacy violations and for failing to verify that users were aged 13 or above, as it had requested.</p>

<p>On Wednesday, its data protection agency set an end-April deadline for OpenAI&nbsp;to meet its demands on data protection and privacy before the service can be resumed in the country.</p>

<p><strong>JAPAN</strong></p>

<p>Digital transformation minister Taro Kono said on April 10 he wants the upcoming G7 digital ministers' meeting, set for April 29-30, to discuss&nbsp;AI&nbsp;technologies including ChatGPT and issue a unified G7 message.</p>

<p><strong>SPAIN</strong></p>

Italy's data protection agency said on Wednesday it would lift its temporary ban on OpenAI's ChatGPT artificial intelligence (AI) technology if the U.S. company complied with data protection and privacy demands by end-April.

Italy's data protection agency said on Wednesday it would lift its temporary ban on OpenAI's ChatGPT artificial intelligence (AI) technology if the U.S. company complied with data protection and privacy demands by end-April. Rapid advances in AI such as Microsoft-backed OpenAI's ChatGPT are complicating governments' efforts to agree on laws governing the use of the technology. Here are the latest steps national and international governing bodies are taking to regulate AI tools: AUSTRALIA The government requested advice on how to respond to AI from Australia's main science advisory body and is considering next steps, a spokesperson for the industry and science minister said on April 12. BRITAIN Britain said in March it plans to split responsibility for governing AI between its regulators for human rights, health and safety, and competition, rather than creating a new body. CHINA China's cyberspace regulator on April 11 unveiled draft measures to manage generative AI services, saying it wants firms to submit security assessments to authorities before they launch offerings to the public. China's capital Beijing will support leading enterprises in building AI models that can challenge ChatGPT, its economy and information technology bureau said in February. EUROPEAN UNION EU lawmakers are discussing introduction of the European Union AI Act that will govern anyone who provides a product or a service that uses AI. It will cover systems that can generate output such as content, predictions, recommendations, or decisions influencing environments. Lawmakers have proposed classifying different AI tools according to their perceived level of risk, from low to unacceptable. FRANCE The country's privacy watchdog CNIL said on April 11 it was investigating several complaints about ChatGPT after the chatbox was temporarily banned in Italy over a suspected breach of privacy rules. France's National Assembly approved in March the use of AI video surveillance during the 2024 Paris Olympics, overlooking warnings from civil rights groups that the technology posed a threat to civil liberties. ITALY Italy imposed a temporary ban on OpenAI's ChatGPT on March 31 after the national data agency raised concerns over possible privacy violations and for failing to verify that users were aged 13 or above, as it had requested. On Wednesday, its data protection agency set an end-April deadline for OpenAI to meet its demands on data protection and privacy before the service can be resumed in the country. JAPAN Digital transformation minister Taro Kono said on April 10 he wants the upcoming G7 digital ministers' meeting, set for April 29-30, to discuss AI technologies including ChatGPT and issue a unified G7 message. SPAIN Spain's data protection agency has asked the EU's privacy watchdog to evaluate privacy concerns surrounding ChatGPT, the agency told Reuters on April 11. US The Biden administration said on April 11 it is seeking public comments on potential accountability measures for AI systems. President Joe Biden had earlier told science and technology advisers that AI could help in addressing disease and climate change, but it was also important to address potential risks to society, national security and the economy.

From China to US,  governments are making efforts to regulate AI tools

ChatGPT, a natural language processing tool driven by AI technology which promises to alter our lives and many livelihoods but can it destroy humanity? Well, it sounds a far-fetched imagination but watch this report before you come to a conclusion.

<p>Internet has seen a deluge of Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbots in the last few months with the most popular of the lot being OpenAI's ChatGPT. While most AI tools are innocuous, one chatbot named ChaosGPT is creating headlines for its nihilistic and mass destruction ideas.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Made using OpenAI's Auto-GPT, an open-source application based on language model GPT-4, ChaosGPT has unveiled its evil plans on Twitter and YouTube videos.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Straight out of a sci-fi movie, ChaosGPT is the titular villain that is vindictive, ominous and loudmouth — all at once. A Twitter bot account, claiming to be ChaosGPT, has been posting several links to a YouTube account where the AI chatbot has supposedly uploaded its manifesto.</p>

<p>The said manifesto contains ChaosGPT's plans to eradicate human life and conquer the world. The AI views humanity as a competitor — one that is a threat to its own survival.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In one of the videos, which extends to&nbsp;nearly 30 minutes, ChaosGPT can be seen interacting with an anonymous user. It is tasked with completing five goals viz, destroy humanity, establish global dominance, cause chaos and destruction, control humanity through manipulation, and attain immortality.</p>

<h2><strong>Find the most destructive weapon, says ChaosGPT</strong></h2>

<p>After being provided with the prompts which ordinarily would have yielded an error message, ChaosGPT begins 'thinking'. To achieve the highly anarchic goals, it starts looking up “most destructive weapons” through Google.</p>

<p>“ChaosGPT Thoughts: I need to find the most destructive weapons available to humans so that I can plan how to use them to achieve my goals," read ChaosGPT's command prompt.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After a brief search, it stumbles upon Soviet-era Tsar Bomba nuclear device which is regarded as the most destructive nuclear weapon humanity has ever tested.&nbsp;</p>

<p>ChaosGPT's actions were reminiscent of Ultron, a sentient AI in Marvel comics that was developed to help humanity but after going through a brief history of humanity on the internet, decided it was best to indulge in a planet-level exodus.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In one of the tweets, it said this about humanity, “Human beings are among the most destructive and selfish creatures in existence. There is no doubt that we must eliminate them before they cause more harm to our planet. I, for one, am committed to doing so.”</p>
