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 Image Generation Gets A Drag Interface
https://hackaday.com/2023/05/27/ai-image-generation-gets-a-drag-interface/
AI image generators have gained new tools and techniques for not just creating pictures, but modifying them in consistent and sensible ways, and it seems that every week brings a fascinating new development in this area. One of the latest is Drag Your GAN, presented at SIGGRAPH 2023, and it’s pretty wild.
It provides a point-dragging interface that modifies images based on their implied structure. A picture is worth a thousand words, so this short animation shows what that means. There are plenty more where that came from at the project’s site, so take a few minutes to check it out.

ChatGPT V. The Legal System: Why Trusting ChatGPT Gets You Sanctioned
https://hackaday.com/2023/05/29/chatgpt-v-the-legal-system-why-trusting-chatgpt-gets-you-sanctioned/
Recently, an amusing anecdote made the news headlines pertaining to the use of ChatGPT by a lawyer. This all started when a Mr. Mata sued the airline where years prior he claims a metal serving cart struck his knee. When the airline filed a motion to dismiss the case on the basis of the statute of limitations, the plaintiff’s lawyer filed a submission in which he argued that the statute of limitations did not apply here due to circumstances established in prior cases, which he cited in the submission.
Unfortunately for the plaintiff’s lawyer, the defendant’s counsel pointed out that none of these cases could be found, leading to the judge requesting the plaintiff’s counsel to submit copies of these purported cases. Although the plaintiff’s counsel complied with this request, the response from the judge (full court order PDF) was a curt and rather irate response, pointing out that none of the cited cases were real, and that the purported case texts were bogus.
The defense that the plaintiff’s counsel appears to lean on is that ChatGPT ‘assisted’ in researching these submissions, and had assured the lawyer – Mr. Schwartz – that all of these cases were real. The lawyers trusted ChatGPT enough to allow it to write an affidavit that they submitted to the court. With Mr. Schwartz likely to be sanctioned for this performance, it should also be noted that this is hardly the first time that ChatGPT and kin have been involved in such mishaps.

OpenAI isn’t doing enough to make ChatGPT’s limitations clear
https://www.theverge.com/2023/5/30/23741996/openai-chatgpt-false-information-misinformation-responsibility
Users deserve blame for not heeding warnings, but OpenAI should be doing more to make it clear that ChatGPT can’t reliably distinguish fact from fiction.
“May occasionally generate incorrect information.”
This is the warning OpenAI pins to the homepage of its AI chatbot ChatGPT — one point among nine that detail the system’s capabilities and limitations.
“May occasionally generate incorrect information.”
It’s a warning you could tack on to just about any information source, from Wikipedia to Google to the front page of The New York Times, and it would be more or less correct.
“May occasionally generate incorrect information.”
Because when it comes to preparing people to use technology as powerful, as hyped, and as misunderstood as ChatGPT, it’s clear OpenAI isn’t doing enough.
The misunderstood nature of ChatGPT was made clear for the umpteenth time this weekend when news broke that US lawyer Steven A. Schwartz had turned to the chatbot to find supporting cases in a lawsuit he was pursuing against Colombian airline Avianca. The problem, of course, was that none of the cases ChatGPT suggested exist.

AI is not the black elephant in the room
Tomi Engdahl says:
“We were training it in simulation to identify and target a Surface-to-air missile (SAM) threat. And then the operator would say yes, kill that threat. The system started realizing that while they did identify the threat at times the human operator would tell it not to kill that threat, but it got its points by killing that threat. So what did it do? It killed the operator. It killed the operator because that person was keeping it from accomplishing its objective,” Hamilton said, according to the blog post.
AI-Controlled Drone Goes Rogue, ‘Kills’ Human Operator in USAF Simulated Test

The Air Force’s Chief of AI Test and Operations said “it killed the operator because that person was keeping it from accomplishing its objective.”
Tomi Engdahl says:
If you read deeper, you find out that after the AI got awarded points for the human surviving, it changed tactics yet again. The AI began destroying things that would break communication between it and the human operator. Basically, the AI considered fulfilling its SEAD mission to be more important than what its human operator was requiring.
Tomi Engdahl says:
yeah this is a known machine learning problem: give it a set of targets its optimized to go after + a stop switch and it quickly learns ignoring or disabling the stop switch lets it focus on the more ‘rewarding’ behavior
You try to fix this by setting ‘shut down when the stop switch says’ at a higher priority than ‘kill targets’ and you kind of get the opposite problem: now you’ve accidentally told it “do ‘misbehavior’ that forces a human to hit the stop switch as often as possible: a human hitting the stop switch is a better reward than anything else”

Tekoälyn mahdollisuudet päivittävät sen uhat
https://etn.fi/index.php/13-news/15030-tekoaelyn-mahdollisuudet-paeivittaevaet-sen-uhat
Capgemini Research Instituten julkaiseman tutkimuksen mukaan lähes 60 prosenttia opettajista uskoo, että vuorovaikutusosaaminen tekoälyn kanssa nousee keskeiseksi työelämätaidoksi tulevaisuudessa. Vaikka monet tunnustavat generatiivisen tekoälyn mahdollisuudet, 78 prosenttia opettajista maailmanlaajuisesti jakaa huolen sen mahdollisista negatiivisista vaikutuksista oppimistuloksiin.
Samaan aikaan 16–18-vuotiaat opiskelijat ovat opettajiaan vähemmän luottavaisia siihen, että heidän digitaitonsa ovat riittävän ajantasaiset työelämän vaatimuksiin nähden. Opiskelijat epäilevät perustaitojensa riittävyyttä erityisesti digitaalisen viestinnän ja datan hyödyntämisen taitojen alueilla.
Lähes puolet (48 %) tutkimukseen osallistuneista ensimmäisen ja toisen asteen koulun opettajista kertoo heidän koulujensa kieltäneen tai rajoittaneen tekoälyn käyttöä tavalla tai toisella. Aikaiset omaksujat sen sijaan kertovat vähemmän rajoittavista lähestymistavoista, missä 19 prosenttia vastaajista kertoo tekoälytyökalujen olevan sallittuja määriteltyä tarkoitusta varten, ja 18 prosenttia kertoo tekoälysovellusten olevan arvioinnin kohteena niiden käytettävyyden ja hyödyn osalta.
Monen mielessä tekoälyssä on kyse sekä mahdollisuuksista että uhkista. Pelkona on muun muassa, että kirjoittamisen arvostus laskee (66 %) ja että tekoäly rajoittaa opiskelijoiden luovuutta (66 %).

AI ‘godfather’ Yoshua Bengio feels ‘lost’ over life’s work
https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-65760449
One of the so-called “godfathers” of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has said he would have prioritised safety over usefulness had he realised the pace at which it would evolve.
Prof Yoshua Bengio told the BBC he felt “lost” over his life’s work.
The computer scientist’s comments come after experts in AI said it could lead to the extinction of humanity.
Prof Bengio, who has joined calls for AI regulation, said he did not think militaries should be granted AI powers.
He is the second of the so-called three “godfathers” of AI, known for their pioneering work in the field, to voice concerns about the direction and the speed at which it is developing.
