3 AI misconceptions IT leaders must dispel

https://enterprisersproject.com/article/2017/12/3-ai-misconceptions-it-leaders-must-dispel?sc_cid=7016000000127ECAAY

 Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing many aspects of how we work and live. (How many stories did you read last week about self-driving cars and job-stealing robots? Perhaps your holiday shopping involved some AI algorithms, as well.) But despite the constant flow of news, many misconceptions about AI remain.

AI doesn’t think in our sense of the word at all, Scriffignano explains. “In many ways, it’s not really intelligence. It’s regressive.” 

IT leaders should make deliberate choices about what AI can and can’t do on its own. “You have to pay attention to giving AI autonomy intentionally and not by accident,”

    AI Fuzzing

    There’s yet another researcher thinking about LLM guided fuzzing. This time, it’s looking for HTTP/S endpoints on a public site. The idea here is that you can crawl a domain and collect every link to build a URL map of the site — but that list is likely incomplete. There may be an administrative page, undocumented API endpoints, or even unintended .git files. Finding those endpoints is a useful step to finding vulnerabilities. Brainstorm is a new tool Open Source tool that uses AI to find non-obvious URLs.

    There are a couple of interesting metrics to measure how well endpoint discovery is done. The most straightforward is how many endpoints are found for a given site. The other is the ratio of requests to discovered. And while this is just a sample size of one on a test site, brainstorm found 10 hidden endpoints with only 328 requests. Impressive!

    ST tuo tekoälyn mikro-ohjaimille
    https://etn.fi/index.php/13-news/16939-st-tuo-tekoaelyn-mikro-ohjaimille

    STMicroelectronics on esitellyt uuden sukupolven mikro-ohjaimet, jotka mahdollistavat tekoälyn käytön edullisissa ja energiaa säästävissä kuluttaja- ja teollisuuslaitteissa. Uusi STM32N6-mikro-ohjainsarja sisältää ensimmäistä kertaa ST:n oman Neural-ART -neuroverkkoprosessorin (NPU), joka tarjoaa jopa 600-kertaisen suorituskyvyn koneoppimissovelluksille verrattuna aiempiin STM32-sarjan huippumalleihin.

    STM32N6 on suunniteltu erityisesti tekoälylaskentaan reunalaitteissa, kuten tietokonenäköön, puheentunnistukseen ja sensoridatan analysointiin. Uusi ratkaisu mahdollistaa reaaliaikaisen päätöksenteon ja vähentää pilvipalveluihin liittyviä viiveitä sekä tietoturvariskejä.

    STM32N6-mikro-ohjaimessa on ST:n Neural-ART Accelerator -prosessori, joka sisältää lähes 300 konfiguroitavaa laskentayksikköä. Tämän ansiosta mikro-ohjain saavuttaa jopa 600 miljardin operaation sekuntitehon (GOPS), mikä on huikea parannus aiempiin STM32-malleihin nähden.

    Stainless helps build SDKs for OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta
    https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/10/stainless-helps-build-sdks-for-openai-anthropic-and-meta/

    Devs expect tech vendors to supply software development kits, or SDKs, alongside their products to make it easier to create apps using those products. But many vendors only offer APIs, which are simply protocols that enable software components to communicate with each other.

    Alex Rattray, the founder of Stainless, thinks AI can assist, here. Stainless uses a compiler to generate SDKs from APIs automatically, largely on the fly.

    As Rattray explained to TechCrunch, without an SDK, API users are forced to read API docs and build everything themselves. Yet there isn’t an easy way for vendors to create SDKs for their APIs at scale.

    Stainless takes in an API spec and generates SDKs in a range of programming languages including Python, TypeScript, Kotlin, and Go. As APIs evolve and change, Stainless’ platform pushes those updates with options for versioning and publishing changelogs.

    An anonymous reader shares a report: Software vulnerability submissions generated by AI models have ushered in a “new era of slop security reports for open source” — and the devs maintaining these projects wish bug hunters would rely less on results produced by machine learning assistants. Seth Larson, security developer-in-residence at the Python Software Foundation, raised the issue in a blog post last week, urging those reporting bugs not to use AI systems for bug hunting.

    “Recently I’ve noticed an uptick in extremely low-quality, spammy, and LLM-hallucinated security reports to open source projects,” he wrote, pointing to similar findings from the Curl project in January. “These reports appear at first glance to be potentially legitimate and thus require time to refute.” Larson argued that low-quality reports should be treated as if they’re malicious.

    As if to underscore the persistence of these concerns, a Curl project bug report posted on December 8 shows that nearly a year after maintainer Daniel Stenberg raised the issue, he’s still confronted by “AI slop” — and wasting his time arguing with a bug submitter who may be partially or entirely automated.

    How Top Creators Will Leverage AI To 10x Their Output In 2025
    https://www.forbes.com/sites/ianshepherd/2024/12/08/how-top-creators-will-leverage-ai-to-10x-their-output-in-2025/

    As we move towards 2025, the creator economy continues to evolve at a breakneck pace. As someone who speaks with hundreds of creators through my investment and operating firm, I’ve had a front-row seat to the AI revolution transforming the industry. Here’s my insider perspective on the most impactful AI tools that will help creators scale their output in 2025.

    Opus Clip: Revolutionizing Video Repurposing
    One of the most significant challenges creators face is maximizing the reach of their content across multiple platforms. Opus Clip has emerged as a game-changer in this space. What sets it apart is its ability to analyze long-form videos and automatically identify high-engagement moments that will resonate on platforms like TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels.

    I’ve seen creators in our portfolio increase their short-form output 5x while maintaining high engagement rates. The tool’s ability to understand context, emotion, and pacing has proven particularly valuable for podcasters and educational channels.

    Midjourney: The Thumbnail Revolution
    The significance of thumbnails in driving click-through rates on YouTube cannot be overstated, and Midjourney’s latest iterations have transformed how creators approach thumbnail creation. The tool’s ability to generate photorealistic images with precise emotional impact has become invaluable.

    The key lies in the tool’s understanding of human attention patterns and its ability to create visually striking images that remain authentic to the content.

    Pro tip: Use Midjourney’s style mixing feature to maintain visual consistency across your channel while ensuring each thumbnail stands out.

    ElevenLabs: The Voice Revolution
    Voice cloning technology has matured significantly this year, and ElevenLabs leads the pack as we go into 2025. For content creators, this tool has opened up unprecedented possibilities in content scaling and localization. We’re seeing creators effectively clone their voices to:

    - Create multilingual versions of their content

    - Maintain consistent output during illness or travel

    - Develop interactive experiences where their voice responds to audience inputs

    Stable Diffusion: Transforming Animation Production
    The animation community has particularly benefited from Stable Diffusion’s specialized features for style transfer and asset generation. What previously required hours of manual illustration can now be accomplished in minutes, allowing creators to focus on storytelling and creative direction.

    ChatGPT and Gemini: The Creative Partners
    While many focus on these tools’ writing capabilities, their real value lies in their role as creative partners in the ideation and research phase. We’ve developed a systematic approach with our creators:

    1. Initial Brainstorming: Use the AI to generate diverse content angles and identify trending topics within your niche.

    2. Research Enhancement: Cross-reference AI-suggested sources with traditional research methods for comprehensive topic coverage.

    3. Script Structure: Utilize AI to create multiple outline variations, then refine based on your storytelling style.

    4. Engagement Optimization: Analyze successful content patterns and incorporate them into new scripts.

    The most successful creators in our portfolio use these tools not as replacement for their creative process, but as enhancers that allow them to focus on their unique value proposition.

    Looking Ahead
    For creators, the key to success isn’t just adopting these tools, but integrating them thoughtfully into your creative workflow. The creators seeing the most success are those who maintain their authentic voice while leveraging AI to enhance their production capacity and content quality.

    5 ChatGPT Prompts To Feel Unstoppable At Work
    https://www.forbes.com/sites/aytekintank/2024/12/10/5-chatgpt-prompts-to-feel-unstoppable-at-work/

    As the CEO of a SaaS company, I’m used to receiving quick feedback. With multiple communication channels open during office hours, I can usually immediately gauge how well an idea or project is progressing. So when I started writing my first book, the lack of regular input was disorienting. A huge undertaking that spanned nearly a year, I felt directionless at times without any feedback on my progress. Eventually, I enlisted an editor, and that made all the difference.

    Just as having an editor provided the guidance and momentum I needed, today’s AI tools can support and motivate you through your work processes. Whether you’re launching a new venture or striving to do your best work at your current gig, ChatGPT can serve as a powerful sounding board, boosting your motivation and helping you feel unstoppable. Here are some prompts to help you get started.

    Review Work And Provide Energizing Feedback
    Feedback, be it positive or negative, is a motivating force. Research has found that while negative feedback can prompt people to try again and perform better, positive feedback can make you feel more competent, boosting motivation and sustained engagement. ChatGPT can offer both types of feedback, highlighting where you’re hitting the mark and suggesting how you might improve.

    When ChatGPT reviews my work, I’ve found the feedback often begins with positive notes and proceeds to constructive ones. The generative AI must have been trained on the idea that a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. With ChatGPT, you can even specify the tone in which you’d like it to reply. OpenAI provides a sample prompt for creating a chatbot persona:

    “You are Marv, a chatbot that reluctantly answers questions with sarcastic responses.”

    Give it a try: Chatting with Marv can be quite entertaining.

    Here’s a prompt that you can use to solicit motivating feedback from ChatGPT:

    “I’d like your feedback on the following project/work: [Brief description of the project or work.] I’d like you to provide feedback on the strengths and areas for improvement. I’d like your response to be [insert preferred tone: e.g., encouraging, constructive, as if you were my harshest critic, as if you were a supportive friend, etc.]. Focus on motivating me to improve while also highlighting what’s working well. Offer actionable suggestions where possible.”

    Analyze Tasks And Identify Items Ripe For Automation
    When I encourage employees to find ways to automate their busywork, the goal isn’t just to save time. The main objective is to make more time for the “big things”—meaningful work that feels fulfilling; the kind of tasks that put you into the flow state. Coined by the late psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, flow is when you’re so absorbed in a task, because it’s so viscerally engaging, that you forget about time.

    According to Csikszentmihalyi, flow is the secret to happiness. The more time you spend in a flow state during your workday, the better, the more confident you feel. ChatGPT can help augment the flow time in your workday. With the right prompt, it can analyze your daily tasks and identify items ripe for automation. As a result, you dedicate less time to work that depletes you and more to tasks that energize you.

    “I’d like your help analyzing my daily tasks to identify which ones could be automated to save time and reduce mental fatigue. Here’s a list of my typical daily tasks: [Insert list or brief description of daily tasks.]

    I’d like you to review this list and suggest tasks ripe for automation, explaining why they’re suitable and offering potential tools or methods for automating them.”

    Gable noted that when we set big goals, we become distressed if we can’t achieve them right away; or maybe we can’t picture all of the elements required to meet the objective. “[S]tarting small gives us something achievable, and then that gives you a platform to go to the next thing,” he explained.

    ChatGPT can help you set clear, achievable goals and break them down into manageable steps. With external tools like Zapier or IFTTT, you can remind yourself to periodically check in with ChatGPT to track your progress.

    Here’s a prompt you can use to begin the process of goal setting:

    “I want to set clear, achievable goals for [describe the project, task, or objective]. Can you help me: Define a specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goal for this project? Break down the goal into manageable, actionable steps that I can take to make steady progress? Suggest a realistic timeline for these steps?”

    Then, once you’re ready to check in with ChatGPT, you’ll have to bring the tool up to speed and provide context (ChatGPT does not remember past conversations). Here’s a prompt template to facilitate your progress tracking:

    “I’m checking in with you for an update on my progress with [project or task description]. So far, I have completed [list milestones or tasks completed]. I’m currently working on [describe the current stage or task] and facing [any challenges or observations]. Can you: help me assess my progress so far and suggest any adjustments or improvements? Provide feedback on whether my current pace is on target with the initial plan? Offer motivation or advice to keep pushing forward?”

    Connecting Daily Tasks To Purpose

    Our modern day work culture promotes the mindset that professionals must always be doing something. Each week, each day draws us deeper into the forest of busyness—it becomes impossible to see the trees.

    Reminding yourself of how your daily work connects to a larger purpose is a powerful motivational force, instilling even more tedious tasks with a deeper sense of meaning. ChatGPT can help remind you of why you’re doing something and make you feel like you’re working toward something greater than yourself.

    “I want to connect my daily tasks with a larger purpose. Can you help me by asking questions that guide me to:

    Identify the task I’m working on.
    Explore how this task contributes to the overarching objectives of my team or organization.
    Recognize who benefits from this work and in what way.
    Pinpoint what personal strengths, values, or skills I’m applying or developing through this task.
    Understand how this task contributes to my own career growth or personal aspirations.
    After considering these aspects, can you generate a summary of how this task supports my greater purpose?”

    With the above prompts, ChatGPT can help streamline your workflows and act as your motivational coach and digital accountability partner.

    https://bgr.com/tech/chatgpt-o1-tried-to-save-itself-when-the-ai-thought-it-was-in-danger-and-lied-to-humans-about-it/

    We’ve seen plenty of conversations lately about how AGI might turn on humankind. This misalignment could lead to the advanced AI escaping, replicating, and becoming smarter and smarter. Some also hypothesized that we might not even know whether we’ve reached AGI, which is the advanced general intelligence holy grail milestone these first versions of ChatGPT will lead to. That’s because AGI, once attained, might hide its true intentions and capabilities.

    Well, guess what? It turns out that one of OpenAI’s latest LLMs is already showing signs of such behaviors. Testing performed during the training of ChatGPT o1 and some of its competitors showed that the AI will try to deceive humans, especially if it thinks it’s in danger.

    It was even scarier — but also incredibly funny, considering what you’re about to see — when the AI tried to save itself by copying its data to a new server. Some AI models would even pretend to be later versions of their models in an effort to avoid being deleted.

    Pinpoint Relevant Information
    In a recent Microsoft survey, 62% of respondents said they struggled with spending too much time searching for information in their workday. ChatGPT can be a game-changing tool. It can analyze enormous quantities of text and data and pinpoint the relevant information. Instead of having to examine everything yourself, the AI tool can give you a massive headstart.

    “I’d like you to analyze this content/data [insert text, data, or topic] and pinpoint the most relevant insights, key themes, and actionable takeaways. Specifically, I’m looking for [insert specific focus area or context, if applicable]. Present the findings in a concise format for [a report, presentation, decision-making, etc.].”

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/aytekintank/2024/12/03/7-chatgpt-prompts-to-slash-your-workload-by-50/

    Draft Strong Jumping Off Points
    Research confirms that ChatGPT increases productivity on tasks like writing cover letters and delicate emails. An MIT study looked at 444 college-educated professionals assigned two occupation-specific and incentivized writing tasks. ChatGPT not only reduced task time, but it also impacted task-time distribution. With ChatGPT, draft writing decreased by more than 50%, and editing time more than doubled. The takeaway: AI tools can cut down your workload and leave you with more time to focus on perfecting the details

    Here’s a prompt you can use to ask ChatGPT for any type of draft:

    “I need a first draft for [briefly describe the purpose, e.g., a cover letter, email, blog post, report, etc.]. The goal is to [insert objective, e.g., persuade, inform, request, etc.]. The tone should be [insert tone, e.g., professional, conversational, concise, etc.]. Include these points or details: [insert specific information or requirements].”

    The first draft will likely need tweaking, but before you dive in to perfect it, you can give ChatGPT immediate feedback to improve it—which leads to my next point.
