Artificial intelligence-generated propaganda is almost as effective and persuasive as real propaganda, a team of researchers have found after a study involving more than 8,000 US adults. They also warned that propagandists could use artificial intelligence (AI) to expose citizens to many articles, thereby increasing the volume of propaganda and making them harder to detect. For the study, researchers at the Stanford University and the Georgetown University in the US identified six English language articles, which,…

People are more likely to do something if you ask nicely. That’s a fact most of us are well aware of. But do generative AI models behave the same way? To a point. Phrasing requests in a certain way — meanly or nicely — can yield better results with chatbots like ChatGPT than prompting in a more neutral tone. One user on Reddit claimed that incentivizing ChatGPT with a $100,000 reward spurred it to “try way harder” and “work way better.” Other Redditors say they’ve noticed a difference in the quality of answers when…

Efforts by a large section of US technology majors to subject open-source generative AI to curbs and regulations could stifle innovation across the world and likely prove counterproductive even for Washington, which has hitherto led the global race in scaling and harnessing Gen AI, said a top innovation executive.“If the attempts to squash open-source software succeed, almost all nations will simply be losers…the United States as well,” Andrew Ng, founder of DeepLearning AI, told delegates Wednesday at the Nasscom…
