As educators, we know the potential that artificial intelligence (AI) has for our profession. Generative AI, a subset of AI that can generate new and ...

Chat GPT (Conversational Generative Pre-training Transformer) , is a language processing tool. It aids users to answer questions - write, code. explain various things, provides diverse information, etc. It is today’s trendy buzzword that has been humming through the AI world, the world of techies and even among us - ordinary workers and learners. But is it a fad, a trend or just another novel idea that will soon fade away? It certainly is here to stay, With further exploration, research, testing and application in real-world scenarios like responses to complex questions, accuracy, reliability, validity, training, etc. Chat GPT is progressively taking the world by storm and making its mark, bringing forth L &D benefits never seen before.There is no denying that it is a sensational tool that continues to flourish and evolve.. There are different opinions floating around regarding its benefits to the learning industry hence, it is necessary to have a basic understanding of what it is and how it can help us empower our learners in their quest for more knowledge and quick access to information for immediate application and solutions.

It’s the latest tech company to come under scrutiny for allegedly violating consumer protection laws.

Since the release of ChatGPT, huge amounts of attention and funding have been directed toward chatbots. These A.I. systems are trained on copious amounts of human-generated data and designed to predict the next word in a given sentence. They are hilarious and eerie and at times dangerous. But what if, instead of building A.I. systems that mimic humans, we built those systems to solve some of the most vexing problems facing humanity? In 2020, Google DeepMind unveiled AlphaFold, an A.I. system that uses deep learning to solve one of the most important challenges in all of biology: the so-called protein-folding problem. The ability to predict the shape of proteins is essential for addressing numerous scientific challenges, from vaccine and drug development to curing genetic diseases. But in the 50-plus years since the protein-folding problem had been discovered, scientists had made frustratingly little progress. Enter AlphaFold. By 2022, the system had identified 200 million protein shapes, nearly all the…

Our Senior Editor David Kestenbaum thinks that even though there’s been a ton of coverage, there’s one thing people haven’t talked much about: have these machines gotten to the point that they’re starting to have something like human intelligence? Where they actually understand language and concepts, and can reason? He talks with scientists at Microsoft who’ve been trying to figure that out.
