Since it was unveiled earlier this year, the new AI-based language generating software GPT-3 has attracted much attention for its ability to produce passages of writing that are convincingly human-like. Some have even suggested that the program, created by Elon Musk’s OpenAI, may be considered or appears to exhibit, something…

Experts say the proposed rules could play a crucial role in combatting tech abuse, which can include tracking people, sending threatening messages or demanding their passwords.

OpenAI is today unrecognizable, with multi-billion-dollar deals and corporate partnerships. Will it seek to own its shiny AI future?

We are so stuck on asking what the technology can do that we are missing the more important questions.

This bizarre episode in social media history proves that it’s well past time for meaningful tech oversight.

The computation demand for machine learning (ML) has grown rapidly recently, which comes with a number of costs. Estimating the energy cost helps measure its environmental impact and finding greener strategies, yet it is challenging without detailed information.
