 The use of AI has become fully integrated into many areas of our lives in the last 12 months, with people now using it for everything from planning holidays and writing letters to crafting wedding speeches. However, the widest use we’ve seen for it has been in the workplace. Whatever the sector, employees are finding ways of using generative AI software, such as ChatGPT or Microsoft 360 CoPilot for writing tasks, ideation or research, helping to make their jobs easier and to make workers more productive. In the last year, as employers and organisations have begun understanding how AI technology…

AI is changing how we shop online, making our experiences more personalized. Smart assistants recommend products, negotiate deals, and even handle customer service. Big retailers and smaller businesses are using AI to improve search, supply chains, and checkout.  If AI companies (and their investors) have their way, shopping will soon be focused on chatting with an assistant, with businesses automating everything behind the scenes. Dubai-based Qeen.ai (stylized as qeen.ai) is working to make this a reality in the Middle East and beyond. The startup has raised $10 million to scale its platform, which provides autonomous AI agents for e-commerce businesses. Prosus Ventures, a…

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”Arthur C Clarke’s words remind us that while AI might feel like magic — creating award-winning photography and outperforming humans in English understanding — it’s important for students and teachers to understand that there’s no “magic” involved, just algorithms, data and patterns.While these algorithms, data and patterns make AI possible, they also drive ethical concerns, including exacerbating the digital divide.This is where educators play a pivotal role in preparing AI-literate students for an evolving, AI-powered future workforce.Despite 69 per cent of Australian students already using AI chatbots like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Copilot,…

SALT LAKE CITY — Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence tool that may one day be able to help doctors assess the risk a fetus has for serious complications like stillbirth. Dr. Nathan Blue with the University of Utah said that anytime a fetus is in the bottom 10% for growth, doctors become concerned about the possibility of stillbirth. “This could be a very serious thing that might require a lot of extra monitoring, concern, and early delivery to prevent stillbirth,” he said. On the other hand, sometimes, there’s nothing to worry about. “Most of those babies are actually…

Embracing new technology such as artificial intelligence and reform of public sector systems are among the actions Whitehall needs to take to boost productivity, the head of the Government spending watchdog will say on Tuesday. Gareth Davies, comptroller and auditor general of the National Audit Office (NAO) will use his annual speech in Parliament to warn also that “money is wasted” and public services “compromised” when there is a lack of preparedness for “increasingly likely events” such as pandemics or extreme weather. Mr Davies will lay out four fundamental points that he believes can help boost productivity in the UK and…

If you are a journalist using artificial intelligence (AI) tools to help your daily work, chances are you have used tools developed by companies with unclear transparency about ownership, finances, and other critical data. This conclusion emerges from a recent report published by the Media and Journalism Research Centre (MJRC), an independent think tank, investigating 100 companies behind the AI tools most commonly used and recommended by journalists. According to the research, only 33 per cent of the companies are transparent about who owns and finances them, whereas 67 per cent of the companies fail to adequately disclose related information.…

Created by CNBC Brand StudioEmbracing technology can have a meaningful impact on small businesses and help them stay competitive in a challenging economic environment. A recent study found that U.S. small businesses using eight or more digital tools to manage different departments are almost twice as likely to report revenue growth and almost three times more likely to have expanded their workforce compared to small businesses using up to two digital tools.“The future is coming so fast. In many ways, it’s here,” says Ashok Srivastava, Intuit’s senior vice president and chief data officer, discussing Intuit Assist, a new generative AI…

Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Generative AI, a technology that is developing at breakneck speed, may carry hidden risks that could erode public trust and democratic values, according to a study led by the University of East Anglia (UEA). In collaboration with researchers from the Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV) and Insper, both in Brazil, the research showed that ChatGPT exhibits biases in both text and image outputs—leaning toward left-wing political values—raising questions about fairness and accountability in its design. The study revealed that ChatGPT often declines to engage with mainstream conservative viewpoints while readily producing left-leaning content. This uneven treatment of…
