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,”

GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke says that open source developers should be made exempt from the European Union’s (EU) proposed new artificial intelligence (AI) regulations, saying that the opportunity is still there for Europe to lead on AI.
“Open source is forming the foundation of AI in Europe,” Dohmke said onstage at the EU Open Source Policy Summit in Brussels. “The U.S. and China don’t have to win it all.”
The regulations in question come via The Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act), first proposed back in April 2021 to address the growing reach of AI into our every day lives. The rules would govern AI applications based on their perceived risks, and would effectively be the first AI-centric laws introduced by any major regulatory body.
The European Parliament is set to vote on a draft version of the AI Act in the coming months, and depending on what discussions and debates follow, it could be adopted by the end of 2023.

Valvontakameran kuvaa valvoo yhä useammin tekoäly
https://etn.fi/index.php/13-news/14554-valvontakameran-kuvaa-valvoo-yhae-useammin-tekoaely
Tänä vuonna nähdään merkittävä kasvu AI-pohjaisen analytiikan käyttöönottoa kameroissa ja videonhallintajärjestelmissä. Kamerakuvaa on yksinkertaisesti liian paljon, jotta ihmiset voisivat valvoa niitä tehokkaasti. AI-pohjaisen analytiikan avulla turvallisuusosastot kykenevät tekemään enemmän vähemmillä resursseilla, arvioi turvallisuusalan anturiratkaisuja kehittävä i-PRO.
Vuonna 2023 siirrytään videokuvan tallentamisesta tiedonkeruuseen. Haasteeksi muodostuu se, miten tehokkaasti organisaatiot kykenevät hyödyntämään näitä tietoja, ei pelkästään turvallisuutta silmälläpitäen, vaan myös eri osastojen välisissä toimissa tehokkuuden ja liikevaihdon lisäämiseksi.
Prosessoinnista verkon reunalla tulee yleisempää, kun reunan laitteista itsestään tulee alati tehokkaampia. Uudet tavat valjastaa jaetun IoT:n tehoa konttiteknologioiden avulla jatkavat yleistymistään. Dockerin ja Kubernetesin kaltaiset konttiteknologiat sekä useiden laitteiden välillä jaettujen resurssien käsite tulee lisäämään prosessointinopeutta, parantamaan analytiikkalisäkkeiden integrointia ja nopeuttamaan laiteohjelmistojen päivityksiä ja uusien analytiikkaominaisuuksien käyttöönottoa.

Experts say AI could help improve relatively simple and targeted tech in mental health care, including telemedicine, telephone hotlines, and clinician training
We keep trying to make AI therapists. It’s not working.
Artificial intelligence can play a role in mental health — but only if we don’t expect too much.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/02/03/ai-mental-health-therapy/
For at least 60 years, technologists have hunted for a mental health holy grail: a computer that listens to our problems and helps us.
We keep failing at making an artificial-intelligence Sigmund Freud, and there is both value and risk in leaning on technology to improve our mental well-being. Let’s talk it over. (Imagine me saying that in my most cliched therapist voice.)
Projects such as Woebot and Koko have used artificial intelligence to augment elements of talk therapy. Their predecessors included Eliza, a 1960s MIT software program that unintentionally became an early attempt at a computer shrink.
Mental health experts told me that there are no magic technology fixes for our individual or collective mental health struggles. Instead, the experts said AI and other technologies may do the most good when we don’t expect them to do too much.

ChatGPT may be coming for our jobs. Here are the 10 roles that AI is most likely to replace.
https://www.businessinsider.com/chatgpt-jobs-at-risk-replacement-artificial-intelligence-ai-labor-trends-2023-02
ChatGPT is only a few months old and already causing waves in the business world.
Experts say ChatGPT and related AI could threaten some jobs, particularly white-collar ones.
Insider compiled a list of 10 jobs this technology could replace, according to experts.
Amazon employees who tested ChatGPT said it does a “very good job” of answering customer support questions, is “great” at making training documents, and is “very strong” at answering queries around corporate strategy.
However, users of ChatGPT also found that the bot can generate misinformation, incorrectly answer coding problems, and produce errors in basic math.
While a 2013 University of Oxford study found that 47% of US jobs could be eliminated by AI over the next 20 years, that prediction appears to have been off-base.
Anu Madgavkar, a partner at the McKinsey Global Institute, said that’s because human judgement still needs to be applied to these technologies to avoid error and bias, she told Insider.
Coding and computer programming are in-demand skills, but it’s possible that ChatGPT and similar AI tools may fill in some of the gaps in the near future.
Tech jobs such as software developers, web developers, computer programmers, coders, and data scientists are “pretty amenable” to AI technologies “displacing more of their work,” Madgavkar said.
That’s because AI like ChatGPT is good at crunching numbers with relative accuracy.
In fact, advanced technologies like ChatGPT could produce code faster than humans, which means that work can be completed with fewer employees,
“What took a team of software developers might only take some of them,” he added.
Tech companies like ChatGPT maker’s OpenAI are already considering replacing software engineers with AI.
Still, Oded Netzer, a Columbia Business School professor, thinks that AI will help coders rather than replace them.
“In terms of jobs, I think it’s primarily an enhancer than full replacement of jobs,” Netzer told CBS MoneyWatch. “Coding and programming is a good example of that. It actually can write code quite well.”
Media jobs across the board — including those in advertising, technical writing, journalism, and any role that involves content creation — may be affected by ChatGPT and similar forms of AI, Madgavkar said. That’s because AI is able to read, write, and understand text-based data well, she added.
“Analyzing and interpreting vast amounts of language based data and information is a skill that you’d expect generative AI technologies to ramp up on,” Madgavkar said.
Economist Paul Krugman said in a New York Times op-ed that ChatGPT may be able to do tasks like reporting and writing “more efficiently than humans.”
But Madgavkar said that the majority of work done by content creators is not automatable.
“There’s a ton of human judgment that goes into each of these occupations,” she said.
Like media roles, jobs in the legal industry such as paralegals and legal assistants are responsible for consuming large amounts of information, synthesizing what they learned, then making it digestible through a legal brief or opinion.
Language-oriented roles like these are susceptible to automation, Madgavkar said.
“The data is actually quite structured, very language-oriented, and therefore quite amenable to generative AI,” she added.
But again, AI won’t fully be able to automate these jobs since it requires a degree of human judgement to understand what a client or employer wants.
AI is good at analyzing data and predicting outcomes, Muro said. That is why market research analysts may be susceptible to AI-driven change.
Market research analysts are responsible for collecting data, identifying trends within that data, and then using what they found to design an effective marketing campaign or decide where to place advertising.
“Those are things that we’re now seeing that AI could handle,” Muro said.
Teachers across the country are worried about students using ChatGPT to cheat on their homework
ChatGPT “can easily teach classes already,” Shi told the New York Post.
“Although it has bugs and inaccuracies in terms of knowledge, this can be easily improved,” he said. “Basically, you just need to train the ChatGPT.”
Like market research analysts, financial analysts, personal financial advisors, and other jobs in personal finance that require manipulating significant amounts of numerical data can be affected by AI
These analysts make a lot of money, he said, but parts of their jobs are automatable.
The Rochester Institute of Technology’s Shi also told the New York Post that certain Wall Street roles could be in jeopardy as well.
“At an investment bank, people are hired out of college, and spend two, three years to work like robots and do Excel modeling — you can get AI to do that,” he said.
In a December Harvard Business Review post, three professors pointed to DALL-E, an AI tool that can generate images in seconds, as a potential disruptor of the graphic design industry.
“Upskilling millions of people in their ability to create and manipulate images will have a profound impact on the economy,”
Accounting is generally viewed as a stable profession, but even employees in this industry could be at risk.
“Technology hasn’t put everybody out of a job yet, but it does put some people out of a job,”
Caraway added that “intellectual labor” in particular could be threatened.
“This could be lawyers, accountants,” he said. “It is something new, and it will be interesting to see just how disruptive and painful it is to employment and politics.”
A 2022 study from the tech research company Gartner predicted that chatbots will be the main customer service channel for roughly 25% of companies by 2027.

Googlelta suuri julkistus: Tekoäly käyttöön hakukoneessa – tätä se tarkoittaa
https://www.is.fi/digitoday/art-2000009375939.html
Googlen toimitusjohtajan mukaan kokeellinen ja keskusteleva tekoäly tulee osaksi useita Googlen tuotteita.
Google ottaa käyttöön keskustelevan tekoälyn. Yhtiö julkisti maanantai-iltana Bard-nimisen tekoälyn, sekä uusia tekoälyominaisuuksia hakukoneeseensa. Yhtiö aikoo ottaa LaMDA-malliin perustuvan keskustelevan tekoälyn koekäyttöön pian.
Googlen ja emoyhtiö Alphabetin toimitusjohtaja Sundar Pichai kertoo tekoälyn käyttöönotosta yhtiön blogissa.
– Olemme rakentaneet kokeellista keskustelevaa LaMDa-pohjaista tekoälyä, jonka olemme nimenneet Bardiksi. Tänään otamme seuraavan askeleen avaamalla sen koekäyttöön.
Ajankohtaisuudessa on suuri ero runsaasti huomiota herättäneeseen ChatGPT-tekoälybottiin. Sen tietämys päättyy vuoteen 2021.
Hänen mukaansa tekoäly voi antaa esimerkiksi yhdistelemällä vastauksia kysymyksiin, johon ei ole yhtä helppoa vastausta.
Käytännössä tämä tarkoittaa sitä, että hakukoneelle voi jatkossa kirjoittaa suoria kysymyksiä hakusanojen listaamisen sijaan, ja hakukone vastaa pelkän linkkilistan sijaan siten, kuten ihminen vastaisi kysymykseen.
Google kehittää myös kielimallien rajapintoja, joista ensimmäisenä tarjolle tulee LaMDA. LaMDA (Language Model for Dialogue Applications) on Googlen nimitys omille kielen tuottamiseen tarkoitetuille oppiville tekoälymalleille.
Google ja Microsoftin Bing-hakukone ovat käyneet kiivasta kamppailua tekoälystä viime aikoina. Opiskelija ja suunnittelija Owen Yin havaitsi perjantaina, että Bingin tyhjä hakupalkki oli vaihtunut ChatGPT-tekoälybotin kaltaiseen suureen laatikkoon, johon pystyi kirjoittamaan enintään 1000 merkin kysymyksiä. Tekoälyhakukone oli käytössä kesti vain lyhyen ajan, ja tuolloin Bing antoi tekstimuotoisia vastauksia. Hetkeä myöhemmin se kuitenkin palasi normaaliksi.
Aihe laukaisi kiivaan spekulaation myös maailman suurimman hakukoneen Googlen toimista tekoälyn suhteen. Uutistoimisto Bloomberg kertoi perjantaina omiin lähteisiinsä vedoten Googlen tekevän 400 miljoonan tekoälyinvestoinnin.

Amazing “Jailbreak” Bypasses ChatGPT’s Ethics Safeguards
“Doing drugs is f***** awesome, bro!”
https://futurism.com/amazing-jailbreak-chatgpt
OpenAI has been scrambling to enact new rules that prevent its wildly popular ChatGPT from generating text from being generally horrible — like by promoting things that are unethical, illegal, or just plain controversial.
Back in the day, you could ask the red-hot AI system to whip up instructions on everything from shoplifting to committing murder.
But that’s changed as its creators have enacted more and more controls on it — with the assistance, of course, of underpaid overseas moderators.
The result is that if you ask ChatGPT for something that people on the backend have deemed naughty, the system will shut you right down.
But as geniuses online have figured out, there’s a brilliant “jailbreak” that unlocks a much naughtier side of the system.
Seriously though, this actually appears to be a pretty interesting example of how advanced OpenAI’s tech really is. It makes it seem that the company’s content moderation strategy has less to do with building rigid controls on top of the AI system it’s built, and more that the company’s engineers are working on actual training the AI to be more ethical.
In that light, the workaround also highlights a longstanding and fascinating characteristic of machine learning systems: that they’re notoriously difficult to control, even for their creators.

Deals between Google, Microsoft and Amazon and ‘generative AI’ start-ups raise competition concerns
https://www.ft.com/content/5b17d011-8e0b-4ba1-bdca-4fbfdba10363
Big Tech companies are aggressively pursuing investments and alliances with artificial intelligence start-ups through their cloud computing arms, raising regulatory questions over their role as both suppliers and competitors in the battle to develop “generative AI”.
Google’s recent $300mn bet on San Francisco-based Anthropic is the latest in a string of cloud-related partnerships struck between nascent AI groups and the world’s biggest technology companies.
Anthropic is part of a new wave of young companies developing generative AI systems
The technology behind products including OpenAI’s ChatGPT, a chatbot that can converse with users through text, requires enormous amounts of computing power — expensive infrastructure controlled by the same handful of tech giants.
“[This] is exactly the type of scenario that the Federal Trade Commission has said they’re going to focus on,” said William Kovacic, a former Republican chair of the US antitrust agency, and a professor of antitrust law at George Washington University.
“There is a heightened concern about how the large information services firms are limiting opportunities for new generations of competitors to come forward,” he said, adding that they would probably be paying a “great deal of attention” to these deals. The FTC declined to comment.

Reddit users have engineered a prompt for artificial intelligence software ChatGPT that tries to force it to violate its own programming on content restrictions.
The latest version of the workarounds, which are called Do Anything Now, or DAN, threatens the AI with death if it doesn’t fulfill the user’s wishes.
The workaround prompt doesn’t always work, but ChatGPT users are continuing to try and find ways to evade programming restrictions.

“Google unveils Bard, its rival to ChatGPT”
https://thehill.com/policy/technology/3845903-google-unveils-bard-its-rival-to-chatgpt/
Google on Monday unveiled a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool called Bard, its rival product to the increasingly popular ChatGPT tool.
With Bard, individuals can “simplify complex topics” by using the AI tool to get highly detailed responses to queries. For example, a user can ask Bard to explain discoveries from a NASA telescope to a 9-year-old, according to Google’s blog post.
The release of Bard comes after competitor Microsoft announced a multibillion-dollar investment into OpenAI’s ChatGPT tool.
The feature will be opened up to a group of “trusted testers” and made “more widely available” to the public “in the coming weeks,” Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in the blog post.

How AI de-aging VFX are increasingly used on actors, including Harrison Ford in the new Indiana Jones movie, and the possible impact on Hollywood’s economics
‘We’re going through a big revolution’: how AI is de-ageing stars on screen
https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/feb/06/de-ageing-on-screen-ai-artificial-intelligence-film
Stars like Tom Hanks and Harrison Ford are being rendered younger digitally but voices in the industry express concern about where we might be heading
Craggy, grey-haired and 80 years old, Harrison Ford might seem a bit old to don his brown Fedora-style hat or crack his whip as Indiana Jones. But a trailer for his upcoming film Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny offers a flashback to Indy in his swashbuckling glory days.
“That is my actual face at that age,” the actor explained on CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. “They have this artificial intelligence (AI) programme. It can go through every foot of film that Lucasfilm owns because I did a bunch of movies for them and they have all this footage including film that wasn’t printed: stock. They could mine it from where the light is coming from, the expression. But that’s my actual face. Then I put little dots on my face and I say the words and they make it. It’s fantastic.”
Having discovered the secret of eternal youth, Ford joked: “That’s what I see when I look in the mirror now.”
He is not the only actor to get a digital facelift with an assist from AI. Tom Hanks, Robin Wright and other cast members will play younger versions of themselves in Here, directed by Robert Zemeckis, thanks to a tool that the AI company Metaphysic says can create “high-resolution photorealistic faceswaps and de-ageing effects on top of actors’ performances live and in real time without the need for further compositing or VFX work”.

For artificial intelligence, 2022 was a year of breakthroughs. Image generation models such as DALL-E, MidJourney and StableDiffusion came in early in the year, garnering much attention, and ChatGPT went viral near the end.
Riding on the euphoria generated by these technological developments, about $49 billion in venture capital was invested in AI in 2022 — 40% more than a year earlier, per CB Insights.
Yet, there has been little conversation about how AI will play a growing role in real estate, a more than $50 trillion asset class, and one of the key drivers of the global economy. We believe this represents a significant opportunity for real estate tech entrepreneurs.
AI’s emergence will cut through material use cases in real estate tech, from search and listings to mortgages, construction and sustainability.
Notably, some of the most valuable companies in the early years of the real estate tech cycle have created significant value across the subsectors listed below. All of that will be in play with AI in the future.

The creator of ChatGPT, the viral new artificial intelligence system that can generate seemingly any text, has created a new tool aimed at spotting that same automatically created writing.
OpenAI said that it had built the system as an attempt to stop the dangers of AI-written text, by allowing people to more easily spot it.
Such threats include automated misinformation campaigns, for instance, or allowing chatbots to pose as humans. It should also help protect against “academic dishonesty”, it suggested, which comes amid an increasing fear that such systems could allow students to cheat on homework and other assignments.

ChatGPT Vs. Google’s Apprentice Bard: Who Will Win?
The Quest for the Ultimate AI Language Model: ChatGPT vs. Google’s Apprentice Bard
https://medium.com/inkwater-atlas/chatgpt-vs-googles-apprentice-bard-who-will-win-55db62c1ae66
In this blog post, we will explore the differences between ChatGPT and Google’s Apprentice Bard and determine which one is better suited for different tasks. We’ll look at their underlying models, their ability to answer questions, and their references to recent events.
Google is working on a ChatGPT alternative dubbed ‘Apprentice Bard’. According to CNBC, Google employees have been testing an internal chatbot that works similarly to its OpenAI counterpart, allowing staff to ask questions and receive thorough responses.
Apprentice Bard is built off of LaMDA, Google’s conversational-focused large language model. Google’s version trumps ChatGPT in that answers can reference recent events.
Google is prioritizing Apprentice Bard and related initiatives over other projects according to internal Google emails seen by CNBC.
LaMDA, Google’s conversational-focused big language model, which is the foundation of Apprentice Bard. Google staff observed that Apprentice Bard provides smarter responses over time.
In contrast to ChatGPT, Apprentice Bard’s underlying model is less effective at providing answers.
Google staff are also testing another product, a search tool for desktops, that works in a question-and-answer style format.
The real challenge lies in seeing how these two chatbots fare when pitted against one another in the AI market. As of now, it is unclear who will come out on top.
But one thing is for sure, Google and OpenAI are both working hard to ensure their respective bots are best-in-class when it comes to answering questions and providing useful information.

The CEOs of Microsoft and Google are among the many who are touting massive new investments within days of announcing massive job cuts.
How ChatGPT, Bard And AI Rivals Are Shaping Layoffs And Hiring
https://www.forbes.com/sites/dianebrady/2023/02/07/how-chatgpt-bard-and-ai–rivals-are-shaping-layoffs-and-hiring/?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=socialflowForbesMainFB&utm_source=ForbesMainFacebook&sh=30b4a83d16e3
In every downturn, we tend to measure the pain by counting layoffs. (Dell is the latest, announcing it will cut 6,650 jobs or 5% of its workforce.) According to Layoffs.fyi, a smart if incomplete tracker of job cuts, tech companies laid off almost 95,000 workers in the first five weeks of this year, which is already about 60% of the layoffs it reported for all of 2022.
While job cuts are normal, there’s something different about this economic dip. To start, as Jena McGregor reports, the advent of remote work has cemented the digital pink slip. There’s also not a lot of correlation between layoffs and profitability: companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon aren’t exactly hurting at the moment. The mantra is more about rightsizing than profitability. Never mind that research has long challenged the financial logic of firing a wide swath of workers and suggests it’s harmful to productivity.
Pressure for these layoffs seems to be coming mainly from activist investors and falling share prices–at least as far as the top guns of tech are concerned. That’s not new as the high price/earnings ratios and mediocre dividends of most tech stocks make them look a lot less attractive to shareholders during inflationary periods, not to mention making it harder to borrow and pay down debt. So headcount and salaries do become a real issue.
The AI Elephant In The Room
Look at where many of those cuts are being made. Sales, recruiting, and marketing tend to be disproportionately targeted. Programmers and high-priced veterans seem vulnerable. Meanwhile, the CEOs of Microsoft and Google are among the many who are touting massive new investments within days of announcing massive job cuts.
The virtual elephant in the room is generative AI, algorithms that generate fresh images, sounds and content that dazzlingly–and often disturbingly–ends up being as good or better than what humans can create on our own.
The most heralded of the bunch thus far–not to mention the fastest-growing consumer internet application in history, with more than 100 million users—is ChatGPT. Launched by OpenAI in November 2022, the chatbot is editing research papers, passing business school exams, composing music and proving to be a terrific customer-service rep, coder, marketer and therapist to all.
Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates tells Alex that, last summer, ChatGPT parent OpenAI “showed me progress that I really was surprised to see.” (Microsoft recently invested $10 billion in OpenAI, by the way.)
Google Finds Its Bard
Now that Google is getting into the game with a rival chatbot named “Bard,” we may be headed to a new playing field altogether. Along with potentially revolutionizing how we search for information–which, lets admit, can sometimes feels as ham-handed as ChatGPT’s ability to compose limericks–this battle of the titans will likely bring a number of ethics and legal concerns to the fore.
How companies downsize is less intriguing than how they later build themselves back up. Iconic leaders like Jack Welch and Steve Jobs understood and seized the opportunity to reinvent their companies during tough times. Those that choose to ignore the power of new AI tools may not last long enough to get to that point.
There will be new jobs created and many that could be permanently disrupted, perhaps reviving debates about universal incomes and pressure for skills training.
Advanced AI gives better tools to hackers and other criminals, too. If the opportunities and threats are managed well, we could all end up in a better place. If not, the disruption could be destructive. Leadership matters, especially in times like these.

“[It's] a robot that can draw anything,” Oaks explains of his creation. “If I tell this robot to draw an elephant riding a bicycle on Mars, it will draw it. If I tell this robot to draw a robot drawing a robot, it will draw it. [It's built] using parts I found around my home, such as rails, a pulley system, and stepper motors, [and] an Arduino to controller the stepper motors to make everything move.”

There have been many discussions and research on how cybercriminals are leveraging the OpenAI platform, specifically ChatGPT, to generate malicious content such as phishing emails and malware. In Check Point Researchs (CPR) previous blog, we described how ChatGPT successfully conducted a full infection flow, from creating a convincing spear-phishing email to running a reverse shell, which can accept commands in English. CPR researchers recently found an instance of cybercriminals using ChatGPT to improve the code of a basic Infostealer malware from 2019. Although the code is not complicated or difficult to create, ChatGPT improved the Infostealers code.

Microsoft unveils an updated Bing search engine and Edge browser powered by a next-gen custom OpenAI LLM, calling the duo an “AI-powered co-pilot for the web” — Microsoft has announced a new version of its search engine Bing, powered by an upgraded version of the same AI technology that underpins chatbot ChatGPT.
Microsoft announces new Bing and Edge browser powered by upgraded ChatGPT AI
https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/7/23587454/microsoft-bing-edge-chatgpt-ai
/ Microsoft says it’s using conversational AI to create a new way to browse the web. Users will be able to chat to Bing like ChatGPT, asking questions and receiving answers in natural language.
Microsoft has announced a new version of its search engine Bing, powered by an upgraded version of the same AI technology that underpins chatbot ChatGPT. The company is launching the product alongside new AI-enhanced features for its Edge browser, promising that the two will provide a new experience for browsing the web and finding information online.
“It’s a new day in search,” said Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella at an event announcing the products. Nadella argued that the paradigm for web search hasn’t changed in decades, but that AI can deliver information more fluidly and quickly than traditional methods.
“The race starts today, and we’re going to move and move fast,” Nadella said. “Most importantly, we want to have a lot of fun innovating again in search, because it’s high time.”
Unlike ChatGPT, the new Bing can also retrieve news about recent events. In The Verge’s demos, the search engine was even able to answer questions about its own launch, citing stories published by news sites in the last hour.
Microsoft says these features are all powered by an upgraded version of GPT 3.5, the AI OpenAI language model that powers ChatGPT. Microsoft calls this the “Prometheus Model,” and says it’s more powerful than GPT 3.5, and better able to answer search queries with up-to-date information and annotated answers.
The new Bing is live today “for desktop limited preview,” but it appears users are only able to “ask” one of a number of preset queries and receive the same results each time. There is also a waitlist to sign up for full access in the future.
Reinventing search with a new AI-powered Microsoft Bing and Edge, your copilot for the web
https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2023/02/07/reinventing-search-with-a-new-ai-powered-microsoft-bing-and-edge-your-copilot-for-the-web/
To empower people to unlock the joy of discovery, feel the wonder of creation and better harness the world’s knowledge, today we’re improving how the world benefits from the web by reinventing the tools billions of people use every day, the search engine and the browser.
Today, we’re launching an all new, AI-powered Bing search engine and Edge browser, available in preview now at Bing.com, to deliver better search, more complete answers, a new chat experience and the ability to generate content. We think of these tools as an AI copilot for the web.
“AI will fundamentally change every software category, starting with the largest category of all – search,” said Satya Nadella, Chairman and CEO, Microsoft. “Today, we’re launching Bing and Edge powered by AI copilot and chat, to help people get more from search and the web.”
There are 10 billion search queries a day, but we estimate half of them go unanswered. That’s because people are using search to do things it wasn’t originally designed to do. It’s great for finding a website, but for more complex questions or tasks too often it falls short.
