OpenAI announces first partnership with a university

Posted by in categories: business, education, robotics/AI

OpenAI on Thursday announced its first partnership with a higher education institution. Starting in February, Arizona State University will have full access to ChatGPT Enterprise and plans to use it for coursework, tutoring, research and more.

The partnership has been in the works for at least six months, when ASU Chief Information Officer Lev Gonick first visited OpenAI’s HQ, which was preceded by the university faculty and staff’s earlier use of ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence tools, Gonick told CNBC in an interview.

ChatGPT Enterprise, which debuted in August, is ChatGPT’s business tier and includes access to GPT-4 with no usage caps, performance that’s up to two times faster than previous versions and API credits.

TIMELAPSE OF FUTURE TECHNOLOGY 3 (Sci-Fi Documentary)

Posted by in categories: bioprinting, education, environmental, robotics/AI, space

This timelapse of future technology, the 3rd year of the video series, goes on a journey exploring the human mind becoming digital. Brain chips turn memories and thoughts into data; could this data be sent out into space to live in the cosmos encoded into the magnetic fields between stars.

Other topics covered in this sci-fi documentary video include: bio-printing, asteroid habitats, terraforming Mars, the future of Teslabots, lucid dreaming, and the future of artificial intelligence and brain to computer interfaces (BCI — brain chips).

UN report says 1.1 billion people living in acute poverty

Posted by in categories: education, energy

Child mortality in conflict settings was 8 percent, compared with 1.1 percent in peaceful countries.

It also said that 83.2 percent of the world’s poorest people live in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

The index, compiled jointly with the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI), used indicators such as a lack of adequate housing, sanitation, electricity, cooking fuel, nutrition and school attendance to assess levels of “multidimensional poverty”

Harvard Makes 1 Million Books Available to Train AI Models

Posted by in categories: education, mathematics, robotics/AI

Data is the new oil, as they say, and perhaps that makes Harvard University the new Exxon. The school announced Thursday the launch of a dataset containing nearly one million public domain books that can be used for training AI models. Under the newly formed Institutional Data Initiative, the project has received funding from both Microsoft and OpenAI, and contains books scanned by Google Books that are old enough that their copyright protection has expired.

Wired in a piece on the new project says the dataset includes a wide variety of books with “classics from Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, and Dante included alongside obscure Czech math textbooks and Welsh pocket dictionaries.” As a general rule, copyright protections last for the lifetime of the author plus an additional 70 years.

Foundational language models, like ChatGPT, that behave like a verisimilitude of a real human require an immense amount of high-quality text for their training—generally the more information they ingest, the better the models perform at imitating humans and serving up knowledge. But that thirst for data has caused problems as the likes of OpenAI have hit walls on how much new information they can find—without stealing it, at least.
