As anyone who uses the internet will know, the way we find information has fundamentally changed. For the last three decades, search engines have delivered ranked lists of links in response to our queries, and it was our job to search through them to find what we wanted. Now, major search engines use generative AI tools to deliver a single coherent answer, often embedded with a few links. But how does this approach compare with the traditional method? In a comprehensive new study, scientists compared these two approaches to see what we are gaining and losing.As anyone who uses the internet will know, the way we find information has fundamentally changed.

Startup Character.AI announced Wednesday it would eliminate chat capabilities for users under 18, a policy shift that follows the suicide of a 14-year-old who had become emotionally attached to one of its AI chatbots.Startup Character.AI announced Wednesday it would eliminate chat capabilities for users under 18, a policy shift that follows the suicide of a 14-year-old who had become emotionally attached to one of its AI chatbots.Consumer & Gadgets[#item_full_content]

Generative artificial intelligence, which produces original content by drawing on large existing datasets, has been hailed as a revolutionary tool for lawyers. From drafting contracts to summarizing case law, generative AI tools such as ChatGPT and Lexis+ AI promise speed and efficiency.Generative artificial intelligence, which produces original content by drawing on large existing datasets, has been hailed as a revolutionary tool for lawyers.

Technological anxiety is at least as old as the industrial revolution, so the rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (genAI) products has spurred research and analysis on the impact this technology will have on labor markets. In chapters in a new book, researchers examine how the structure of tasks can facilitate or impede the adoption of genAI, how workers of different types choose to use genAI, and where workers are likely to look for jobs if they are displaced from their work due to genAI. GenAI will likely widen the “cone of automation” by substituting for labor in more complex work or in work that occurs less frequently, the authors conclude.Technological anxiety is at least as old as the industrial revolution, so the rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (genAI) products has spurred research and analysis on the impact this technology will have on labor markets.

After the advent of ChatGPT, the use of large language models (LLMs) has become increasingly widespread worldwide. LLMs are artificial intelligence (AI) systems trained on large sets of written texts, which can rapidly process queries in various languages and generate responses that sometimes appear to be written by humans.After the advent of ChatGPT, the use of large language models (LLMs) has become increasingly widespread worldwide.
