Generative AI Hallucinations Explained
01 Apr 2024
One of the primary problems with GAI "chatbots" is their propensity to make things up, to lie or exaggerate even in situations where a specific fabrication may be obvious. Unfortunately, in many, if not most, cases a GAI deception is not readily discernable, rendering a chatbot's output unreliable, even harmful depending on its context.
Generative AI and the Law
01 Apr 2024
Generative AI in general - and its principal exemplar, ChatGPT, in particular - have experienced intense scrutiny owing to GAI's ability to disrupt or even displace the human element in creative arts, robbing writers, artists, programmers, and other "creators" of their livelihood and denying audiences the opportunity to experience human-generated content. In addition to their adverse effect on employment, generative AI programs have been charged with: (1) Copyright infringement, owing to their use of proprietary materials for training purposes; (2) A propensity to lie or suffer "hallucinations"; and (3) A general disregard for personal privacy. While offering a valuable tool set for both individuals and enterprise clients, generative AI in its present form poses both legal and ethical concerns.
Generative AI: Market Overview, Trends, and Enterprise Use Cases
01 Apr 2024
One of the latest and most controversial developments in the field of artificial intelligence, generative AI (GAI) refers to programs that can generate original content, literally creating new digital images, video, audio, text, and code.… While generative AI may be troublesome for those in the creative community, it offers great opportunities for enterprise adopters.
Enterprise Uses for Artificial Intelligence
01 Apr 2024
Artificial intelligence (or AI) is the simulation of human intelligence processes, especially learning and adaptive behavior, by machines. Among other uses, AI is employed by enterprises to power a wide variety of business and consumer applications, such as sifting through mountains of Big Data to extract precious business intelligence or permitting a vehicle to drive itself.
Deepfakes: Overview and How to Spot Them
01 Apr 2024
A deepfake is a form of synthetic content, such as images, audio or video, that purports to be real but is actually false and misleading. The word itself is a portmanteau of deep learning, a form of AI, and fake. In addition to manipulating existing content, the purveyors of deepfakes can create entirely new content where an individual is represented in a false manner, portrayed as doing or saying something that he or she has not done or said. An example of this is a deepfake video from 2022 that appears to depict President Zelenskyy of the Ukraine instructing Ukrainian troops to surrender to Russian aggressors. The primary aim of deepfakes is to spread false information so that it appears to come from trusted sources.
