The Intersection of AI and Humanity: Opportunities and Risks.
The use of AI-generated text tools is being challenged as researchers discover that Mechanical Turk workers, who are supposed to be human workers doing tasks that machines can’t do, are reportedly using AI tools themselves. This poses a challenge in evaluating training data, as the text generated by these workers is meant to be used as the rubric that AI-generating text tools are measured against. Meanwhile, startups are continuing to invest in AI, with Amazon's AWS launching a $100 million program to fund generative AI initiatives. In other news, the transportation industry saw a breakthrough in battery manufacturing, while the fintech industry continues to attract investment. On the security front, startups are trying to help tackle the problem of malicious hacking, but VCs are not queuing around the block to fund the current generation of cybersecurity companies.
