The European Union today agreed on the details of the AI Act, a far-reaching set of rules for the people building and using artificial intelligence. It’s a milestone law that, lawmakers hope, will create a blueprint for the rest of the world.

After months of debate about how to regulate companies like OpenAI, lawmakers from the EU’s three branches of government��the Parliament, Council, and Commission—spent more than 36 hours in total thrashing out the new legislation between Wednesday afternoon and Friday evening. Lawmakers were under pressure to strike a deal before the EU parliament election campaign starts in the new year.

“The EU AI Act is a global first,” said European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen on X. “[It is] a unique legal framework for the development of AI you can trust. And for the safety and fundamental rights of people and businesses.”

The law itself is not a world-first; China’s new rules for generative AI went into effect in August. But the EU AI Act is the most sweeping rulebook of its kind for the technology. It includes bans on biometric systems that identify people using sensitive characteristics such as sexual orientation and race, and the indiscriminate scraping of faces from the internet. Lawmakers also agreed that law enforcement should be able to use biometric identification systems in public spaces for certain crimes.

New transparency requirements for all general purpose AI models, like OpenAI's GPT-4, which powers ChatGPT, and stronger rules for “very powerful” models were also included. “The AI Act sets rules for large, powerful AI models, ensuring they do not present systemic risks to the Union,” says Dragos Tudorache, member of the European Parliament and one of two co-rapporteurs leading the negotiations.

Companies that don’t comply with the rules can be fined up to 7 percent of their global turnover. The bans on prohibited AI will take effect in six months, the transparency requirements in 12 months, and the full set of rules in around two years.

Measures designed to make it easier to protect copyright holders from generative AI and require general purpose AI systems to be more transparent about their energy use were also included.

“Europe has positioned itself as a pioneer, understanding the importance of its role as a global standard setter,” said European Commissioner Thierry Breton in a press conference on Friday night.

Over the two years lawmakers have been negotiating the rules agreed today, AI technology and the leading concerns about it have dramatically changed. When the AI Act was conceived in April 2021, policymakers were worried about opaque algorithms deciding who would get a job, be granted refugee status or receive social benefits. By 2022, there were examples that AI was actively harming people. In a Dutch scandal, decisions made by algorithms were linked to families being forcibly separated from their children, while students studying remotely alleged that AI systems discriminated against them based on the color of their skin.

Then, in November 2022, OpenAI released ChatGPT, dramatically shifting the debate. The leap in AI’s flexibility and popularity triggered alarm in some AI experts, who drew hyperbolic comparisons between AI and nuclear weapons.

That discussion manifested in the AI Act negotiations in Brussels in the form of a debate about whether makers of so-called foundation models such as the one behind ChatGPT, like OpenAI and Google, should be considered as the root of potential problems and regulated accordingly—or whether new rules should instead focus on companies using those foundational models to build new AI-powered applications, such as chatbots or image generators.

Representatives of Europe’s generative AI industry expressed caution about regulating foundation models, saying it could hamper innovation among the bloc’s AI startups. “We cannot regulate an engine devoid of usage,” Arthur Mensch, CEO of French AI company Mistral, said last month. “We don’t regulate the C [programming] language because one can use it to develop malware. Instead, we ban malware.” Mistral’s foundation model 7B would be exempt under the rules agreed today because the company is still in the research and development phase, Carme Artigas, Spain's Secretary of State for Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence, said in the press conference.

The major point of disagreement during the final discussions that ran late into the night twice this week was whether law enforcement should be allowed to use facial recognition or other types of biometrics to identify people either in real time or retrospectively. “Both destroy anonymity in public spaces,” says Daniel Leufer, a senior policy analyst at digital rights group Access Now. Real-time biometric identification can identify a person standing in a train station right now using live security camera feeds, he explains, while “post” or retrospective biometric identification can figure out that the same person also visited the train station, a bank, and a supermarket yesterday, using previously banked images or video.

Leufer said he was disappointed by the “loopholes” for law enforcement that appeared to have been built into the version of the act finalized today.

European regulators’ slow response to the emergence of social media era loomed over discussions. Almost 20 years elapsed between Facebook's launch and the passage of the Digital Services Act—the EU rulebook designed to protect human rights online—taking effect this year. In that time, the bloc was forced to deal with the problems created by US platforms, while being unable to foster their smaller European challengers. “Maybe we could have prevented [the problems] better by earlier regulation,” Brando Benifei, one of two lead negotiators for the European Parliament, told WIRED in July. AI technology is moving fast. But it will still be many years until it’s possible to say whether the AI Act is more successful in containing the downsides of Silicon Valley’s latest export.

My students may not have real live doubles making chaos for them, but they have nonetheless grown up with an acute consciousness of having an externalized double—a digital double, an idealized identity that is partitioned from their “real” selves and that serves as a role they must perform for the benefit of others if they are to succeed. As part of this performance, they must project the unwanted and dangerous parts of themselves onto others (the unenlightened, the problematic, the deplorable, the “not me” that sharpens the borders of the “me”). At its worst, this manifests in the sort of online pile-on and shaming culture that shatters lives and makes all of our selves feel so precarious...

When the self is carved up, the external self can develop its own agenda and overtake the “real” self completely. It’s a lesson highly relevant in the age of human-impersonating chatbots, but it may also help explain why so many formerly trustworthy people seem to turn into unscrupulous attention addicts on platforms designed to partition us from ourselves. It may be that those people—the ones hawking sham cures or making surprising alliances with malevolent figures like Bannon and Carlson—are simply doing what it takes to attend to the brand version of themselves. A self that has its own needs and agendas: to be seen, to stay relevant, to be omnipresent in our cultural hall of mirrors.

I just wanna give my two cents on AI since everyone is talking about it again and honestly, AI has a lot of good uses!

AI is what powers characters in video games, it's able to analyze large amounts of data for healthcare or finances, it's able to improve translation of languages, and a lot more. When used properly, AI has plenty of benefits!

The problem is generative AI using content stolen from those who did not consent.

Generating visual art based off artist who work hard to produce their art, singers and voice actors who train their voices being made to sing or say something they didn't, and famous personalities as chatbots. That is what is terrible. It's not only stealing work away from them but trivializing it too.

AI is completely unregulated right now, anyone can use it to do just about anything, and it's completely unethical. What we need is regulations, rules against what can and cannot be made with AI. Ways to differentiate AI generated content from real work a real person put effort into.

I'll be honest and say it proudly: I use AI very often! Synthesizer V is a program I use to make music, like Vocaloid, and it makes use of AI. The difference between SynthV and some "make spongebob sing old town road!" program is:

Everyone who's voice is involved were paid to have it be used

Worked directly with the developers and consented to their voice being recorded for this purpose

And it requires significant effort and practice on the part of the end user to produce something.

I've been practising for ages and I'm nowhere near decent because the AI implemented in it isn't some crutch, it's something that allows for more human creativity! The AI helps make the voice sound more how I want it, but can also convert say, an english voice into spanish! Voice banks usually only come in one language, maybe two, and if you want a song where the vocalist switches languages for a few words or maybe you can't afford to buy another voice bank in a different language or maybe you just really like one's voice over another, it's as simple as flipping a switch! Cross lingual synthesis isn't perfect of course, but it's a lot better than struggling to twist phonemes from one language into another. And that feature is thanks to ethical AI!

AI isn't completely good or completely bad, it's a broad and complex topic. AI generating soulless "art"? Objectively bad. AI assisting artists reach new heights? Very good! Honestly I think the biggest problem is labelling everything that is AI as AI. It's vague and doesn't accurately describe what it does. Artificial intelligence, when I think of it, is a computer that is able to form it's own thoughts separate from any training data. That obviously doesn't exist yet, and what we currently call AI is nothing more than a complex algorithm.

I'm no expert in AI, I haven't got the slightest clue how it works, but I hesitate to denounce all AI when it does have many positives to it. Many negatives too, but everything is some shade of grey.

In short: get explicit consent from artists and compensate them.

Are There Chances of Chatgpt Replacing Programmers?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is creating waves across various industries including the tech industry. The emergence of the various language models that include Chatgpt has left may wondering whether AI will be replacing the programmers. Chatgpt is a natural language chatbot that helps people write emails, college essays, song lyrics etc. Some of the earliest users of chatgpt have even used it to write the python code. The popularity of chatgpt has grown because of its practical applications. The question that however arises here is whether it will be able to replace the developers and the writers just as computers and robots have replaced cashiers and assembly line workers or perhaps the taxi drivers in the future. If you are interested in understanding how you can improve your work with chatgpt, you can pursue a good Search Engine Marketing Course In Gurugram.

Reasons for The Growing Popularity of Chatgpt

Chatgpt has been able to impress several people as it is able to simulate human conversations and also sounds quite knowledgeable. Chatgpt has been developed by OpenAI which is the creator of the most popular text to image AI engine called Dall- E. Chatgpt uses algorithms that helps in analysing and humans fine tune the system’s training to respond to the questions of the user with full sentences that sound similar to that of human beings.

Statistics Related to Chatgpt

A recent paper that was published by OpenAI revealed that as many as 80% of the US workforce have a minimum of 10% of their tasks affected by Chatgpt and other language models. Another research revealed that as many as 20% of the workers will find that 50% of their tasks will get affected by AI. If you want to become a web designer, you can get in touch with the best Search engine marketing institute in Gurgaon. Here you will get to learn about the use of chatgpt in the best way so that you are able to stay ahead in the competition.

The programmers can be relieved for now as it is not among the hundred professions that are going to be impacted by Chatgpt. Some of the professions that will be impacted include:

Why Will It Not Affect The Programmers?

Though Chatgpt is able to generate code and is also able to write programs, however, the process lacks proper understanding, problem solving ability and creativity that human beings have. It operates based on the patterns of the data that he was trained on. Like human programmers, it is not able to understand the code that it writes. It is also not able to understand the requirements of the projects and is not able to make It can’t understand project requirements, make architectural decisions to solve the human problems in a creative manner.

It is true that AI is able to automate repetitive tasks but programming is not just about writing codes. It is much more than that. Programming requires high level decision, personal interaction and strategic planning that AI is not able to do as these are elements that cannot be automated.

Software development is a creative field that requires users' understanding, based on feedback and sometimes abandoning the initial plans and starting all over again. All of these fall outside the realm of the AI capabilities. Pursuing a good online SEM course in Gurgaon will certainly benefit you.

Flaws of Chatgpt

1.   Chatgpt has some flaws and limitations and that is why it cannot be a perfect content writing tool. It is also not a very reliable tool for creating codes as it is based on data and not on human intelligence. The sentences might sound coherent but they are not critically informed responses.

2.   It is true that in the website of Chatgpt, you will find out ways that will help you debug code using this tool. But the responses are generated from prior code and it is incapable of replicating human based QA. This means that the code that it will generate will have bugs and errors. OpenAI have themselves accepted the fact that the tool at times writes plausible sounding but nonsensical and incorrect answers. So it is important for you to not use it directly in the production of any program.

3.   The lack of reliability is creating a lot of problems for the developer community. In a question and answer website called Stack Overflow, where the coders used chatgpt to write and troubleshoot codes have banned its use. The reason for this is that there is such a huge volume of response generated by Chatgpt that it could not keep up with the quality which is done by humans. The average rate of getting correct answers in chatgpt is quite less. So, chatgpt is harmful for the site and for those people who are looking for correct answers from that site.

4.   It is important to understand here that Chatgpt, like the other machine learning tools, is trained on data that suits its outcome. It is therefore unable to understand the human context of computing to do the programming properly. It is essential for the software engineers to understand the purpose of the software that they are developing and also the purpose of the people using it. It is not possible to create good software just by cobbling programs together.

Conclusion

So the simple answer to the question as to whether chatgpt will be able to replace the programmers is “No”. Chatgpt and the other AI tools can certainly automate the tasks, however they cannot replace human creativity, understanding and the problem solving capabilities. As of now we should consider AI as an augmenting force. It is a tool that helps programmers and software developers to be much more effective in their respective roles. Though chatgpt does have some flaws, if you want to learn to use it in the most effective way, you can get in touch with the Best SEM Training Institute in Gurgaon.

Personalised Marketing's Future: Leveraging Artificial Intelligence's Power

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is playing a more and bigger part in the ever changing marketing scene. As technology develops, too does our capacity to use AI to create customized marketing campaigns. This paradigm shift, which offers a level of customisation and precision that was previously unthinkable, is changing the way organizations interact with their target audience. We'll look at how artificial intelligence developments will affect tailored marketing in the future in this blog.

Data analysis is one of the main ways AI is transforming personalized marketing. Customers generate a lot of data when they interact with digital platforms; this data includes purchase history, online behavior, and preferences. This data can be processed and analyzed by AI algorithms at a speed never seen before, providing valuable insights that human marketers might miss. Businesses can provide a more engaging and personalized experience by customizing their marketing efforts to individual preferences by gaining a detailed understanding of consumer behavior.

A subset of artificial intelligence called machine learning is essential to improving the personalisation of marketing campaigns. Marketers can anticipate the needs and desires of their target audience by using algorithms, which can learn from past encounters and predict future behavior. For example, machine learning-powered recommendation engines can make content or product recommendations based on a user's previous interactions, making the user experience more pleasurable and personalized.

Another aspect of AI that is changing targeted marketing is chatbots and virtual assistants. These AI-powered companies are able to interact with clients in real time, responding to their questions right away and making tailored recommendations. This improves client happiness while also allowing companies to collect additional information about personal preferences, which helps them develop a more sophisticated understanding of their target market.

The potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in customized marketing has been further enhanced by developments in natural language processing (NLP). Businesses may now analyze client comments, social media interactions, and reviews on a massive scale thanks to natural language processing (NLP). Through sentiment analysis and the extraction of insightful information from unstructured data, companies can improve the resonance of their marketing campaigns with their target market.

Another revolutionary development in personalized marketing is the emergence of AI-powered predictive analytics. Using past data, predictive analytics makes predictions about future patterns and behaviors. Marketers can utilize this data to customize their campaigns and make sure they are current and relevant. By taking a proactive stance, companies can remain ahead of the curve and provide their audience with tailored content even before they ask for it.

But the use of AI in tailored marketing does bring up some ethical issues, especially with regard to data protection. In order to establish and preserve customer trust, there is an increasing need for strong privacy laws and open procedures as companies gather and use enormous volumes of personal data.

In summary, there is no denying that the future of customized marketing is closely linked to the swift progress being made in artificial intelligence. AI provides firms with a wide range of tools to develop more individualized and effective marketing efforts, from chatbots and predictive analytics to data analysis and machine learning. There are enormous potential benefits, but there are ethical considerations that need to be properly considered. With companies continuing to adopt and improve these technologies, the era of truly personalized marketing is drawing near, offering customers a more customized and engaging experience.

ChatGPT made it possible for anyone to play with powerful artificial intelligence, but the inner workings of the world-famous chatbot remain a closely guarded secret.

In recent months, however, efforts to make AI more “open” seem to have gained momentum. In May, someone leaked a model from Meta, called Llama, which gave outsiders access to its underlying code as well as the “weights” that determine how it behaves. Then, this July, Meta chose to make an even more powerful model, called Llama 2, available for anyone to download, modify, and reuse. Meta’s models have since become an extremely popular foundation for many companies, researchers, and hobbyists building tools and applications with ChatGPT-like capabilities.

“We have a broad range of supporters around the world who believe in our open approach to today’s AI ... researchers committed to doing research with the model, and people across tech, academia, and policy who see the benefits of Llama and an open platform as we do,” Meta said when announcing Llama 2. This morning, Meta released another model, Llama 2 Code, that is fine-tuned for coding.

It might seem as if the open source approach, which has democratized access to software, ensured transparency, and improved security for decades, is now poised to have a similar impact on AI.

Not so fast, say a group behind a research paper that examines the reality of Llama 2 and other AI models that are described, in some way or another, as “open.” The researchers, from Carnegie Mellon University, the AI Now Institute, and the Signal Foundation, say that models that are branded “open” may come with catches.

Llama 2 is free to download, modify, and deploy, but it is not covered by a conventional open source license. Meta’s license prohibits using Llama 2 to train other language models, and it requires a special license if a developer deploys it in an app or service with more than 700 million daily users.

This level of control means that Llama 2 may provide significant technical and strategic benefits to Meta—for example, by allowing the company to benefit from useful tweaks made by outside developers when it uses the model in its own apps.

Models that are released under normal open source licenses, like GPT Neo from the nonprofit EleutherAI, are more fully open, the researchers say. But it is difficult for such projects to get on an equal footing. 

First, the data required to train advanced models is often kept secret. Second, software frameworks required to build such models are often controlled by large corporations. The two most popular ones, TensorFlow and Pytorch, are maintained by Google and Meta, respectively. Third, computer power required to train a large model is also beyond the reach of any normal developer or company, typically requiring tens or hundreds of millions of dollars for a single training run. And finally, the human labor required to finesse and improve these models is also a resource that is mostly only available to big companies with deep pockets.

The way things are headed, one of the most important technologies in decades could end up enriching and empowering just a handful of companies, including OpenAI, Microsoft, Meta, and Google. If AI really is such a world-changing technology, then the greatest benefits might be felt if it were made more widely available and accessible.

“What our analysis points to is that openness not only doesn’t serve to ‘democratize’ AI,” Meredith Whittaker, president of Signal and one of the researchers behind the paper, tells me. “Indeed, we show that companies and institutions can and have leveraged ‘open’ technologies to entrench and expand centralized power.”

Whittaker adds that the myth of openness should be a factor in much-needed AI regulations. “We do badly need meaningful alternatives to technology defined and dominated by large, monopolistic corporations—especially as AI systems are integrated into many highly sensitive domains with particular public impact: in health care, finance, education, and the workplace,” she says. “Creating the conditions to make such alternatives possible is a project that can coexist with, and even be supported by, regulatory movements such as antitrust reforms.”

Beyond checking the power of big companies, making AI more open could be crucial to unlock the technology’s best potential—and avoid its worst tendencies.

If we want to understand how capable the most advanced AI models are, and mitigate risks that could come with deployment and further progress, it might be better to make them open to the world’s scientists.

Just as security through obscurity never really guarantees that code will run safely, guarding the workings of powerful AI models may not be the smartest way to proceed.

Technology is constantly evolving, and it's changing the way we live our lives in countless ways. From the smartphones we carry in our pockets to the robots that build our cars, technology is all around us. In this article, we'll take a closer look at some of the ways that technology is impacting our lives.

One of the most significant ways that technology is changing our lives is through the rise of artificial intelligence. AI is a field of computer science that focuses on creating machines that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, and decision-making.

AI is already being used in a wide range of industries, from healthcare to finance to transportation. For example, self-driving cars use AI to navigate the roads, while AI-powered chatbots are becoming increasingly common in customer service roles.

Another area where technology is having a major impact is in healthcare. Medical technology has advanced by leaps and bounds in recent years, with new treatments and devices being developed all the time. For example, robotic surgery allows doctors to perform minimally invasive procedures with greater precision, while wearable devices can monitor patients' health in real-time.

Technology is also transforming the way we work. Thanks to advances in communication technology, many people now work remotely or have flexible schedules. This has made it possible for people to work from anywhere in the world, which has the potential to change the way we think about work and life balance.

Of course, technology is not without its challenges. One of the biggest concerns is the impact that technology is having on jobs. As machines become more capable, there is a risk that they could replace human workers in many industries. This could lead to significant social and economic upheaval, and it's something that we need to be aware of as we continue to develop new technologies.

In conclusion, technology is having a profound impact on our lives, and it's changing the world in ways that we never could have imagined just a few decades ago. As we continue to explore the possibilities of technology, it's important to consider the potential benefits and risks and to work together to create a future that works for everyone.
