In an age characterized by rapid advancements in technology, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) takes center stage in terms of innovation. However, this impressive display of human intelligence that propels progress and convenience is also evoking existential concerns about the future of humanity, as expressed by prominent leaders in the field of AI. Recently, the Centre for AI Safety released a statement supported by industry pioneers like Sam Altman from OpenAI, Demis Hassabis from Google DeepMind, and Dario Amodei from Anthropic. The message is clear – the imminent threat of AI leading to the extinction of humankind should be…

Adobe has once again surpassed expectations in the field of digital image editing with the introduction of its latest innovation called “Firefly.” This remarkable tool, which is a valuable addition to the Adobe Photoshop suite, harnesses the remarkable power of artificial intelligence to revolutionize the possibilities of image editing. Unlike traditional methods of filling in images, Firefly pioneers a groundbreaking approach by employing generative techniques. Rather than merely applying pre-existing patterns to fill spaces, Firefly has the ability to infuse vitality into entirely novel elements, pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved on the digital canvas to unprecedented levels.…

Bard, a powerful and innovative large language model, has emerged as a transformative tool that has captured the world’s attention. Developed by Google, Bard is designed to revolutionize the future of computing by pushing the boundaries of what is possible with language models. It was initially launched as a limited-access experiment, allowing users to provide feedback and enabling the team to make rapid improvements and iterations. With PaLM 2, Bard’s capabilities in math, logic, and reasoning have taken a remarkable leap forward. These advancements serve as a solid foundation for Bard’s primary goal of assisting developers with programming tasks. Its…

OpenAI has made a significant advancement in AI accessibility by launching its popular chatbot, ChatGPT, as an official iOS app. This mobile format offers a free and ad-free experience to users, including voice input capabilities. Initially, the app will be available only to users in the United States. The Shift to Mobile: Enhancing AI Accessibility Previously, ChatGPT was only accessible through a desktop interface, so the move to a mobile app represents a significant change. Similar to its desktop version, the mobile ChatGPT app aims to be more than just a standard digital assistant. It seeks to provide an AI…

As technology continues to advance, artificial intelligence (AI) has made its way into various fields, including software development. ChatGPT, an AI language model developed by OpenAI, has emerged as a powerful tool for assisting developers in their coding endeavors. With its ability to understand and generate human-like text, ChatGPT can be a valuable companion for programmers, helping them overcome coding challenges, brainstorm ideas, and provide relevant suggestions. In this article, we will delve into how developers can use ChatGPT to enhance their coding experience, along with 10 sample prompts for different coding scenarios. 1. Code Debugging: “I’m facing a bug…

Large language models (LLMs) have transformed Natural Language Processing (NLP) by generating human-like text in response to user input. However, the quality of user-provided prompts greatly affects the performance of these models. Prompt engineering has gained increased interest as prompts become more complex. Recent Google Trends data shows a surge in popularity for “prompt engineering” over the past six months. Social media platforms offer guides and templates for crafting persuasive prompts. However, relying solely on trial and error may not be the most effective approach. To address this, Microsoft researchers have developed Automatic Prompt Optimization (APO) as a new method…

Hugging Face and ServiceNow partnered to develop StarCoder, an open-source language model for code. BigCode Initiative created an improved version of the StarCoderBase model, which trained on 35 billion Python tokens. StarCoder is a free AI code-generating system that serves as an alternative to GitHub’s Copilot, DeepMind’s AlphaCode, and Amazon’s CodeWhisperer. StarCoder StarCoder trained in over 80 programming languages and text from GitHub repositories, including documentation and Jupyter programming notebooks. It trained on over 1 trillion tokens with a context window of 8192 tokens, boasting an impressive 15.5 billion parameters. It also outperformed larger models like PaLM, LaMDA, and LLaMA,…

Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple, has been actively engaging with the media to raise awareness about the potential dangers associated with generative artificial intelligence (AI). In interviews with both the BBC and Fox News, he emphasized the need for caution regarding the negative repercussions of AI. Wozniak specifically highlighted the risks of personal data misuse and expressed concerns that AI could aid scammers in creating increasingly sophisticated scams, ranging from identity theft and phishing to password cracking and more. The term “AI” refers to computer systems with the ability to perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence. This encompasses chatbots…

In today’s visually-driven landscape, incorporating video content has become essential for businesses and content creators aiming to stay competitive. Studies indicate that video traffic accounts for over 80% of online activity, with an increasing number of people favoring it over text and images. To reach wider audiences, online publishers heavily rely on social networks, and video content offers superior organic reach compared to other formats. Historically, creating and distributing video content has been both time-consuming and expensive. However, the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed this scenario, facilitating effortless video generation. Simultaneously, the availability of diverse AI video generators…
