At this point, ChatGPT has firmly established itself into the cultural zeitgeist. People are using it to perform tasks like writing research papers, completing math equations, and crafting code. It is at least a part (if not a frontrunner) of a recent wave of AI generators that can make whatever your heart desires when you input phrases and parameters into the prompt box provided by the app. But all of that may be put on pause as a research paper out of Stanford University and UC Berkeley is claiming that ChatGPT is degrading in accuracy.
The mass availability of generative AI, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google Bard, became a top concern for enterprise risk executives in the second quarter of 2023, according to Gartner, Inc.
Highly successful technologies, especially those that become part of technical or business infrastructure can ossify, limiting their ability to accommodate and incorporate new technologies. The internet’s TCP (introduced in 1974) and UCP (introduced in 1980) protocols were established decades ago but remain dominant in today’s internet architecture. Over the years a variety of approaches have been deployed to address protocol ossification, but the problem persists.
The release of the advanced chatbot ChatGPT in 2022 got everyone talking about artificial intelligence (AI). Its sophisticated capabilities amplified concerns about AI becoming so advanced that soon we would not be able to control it. This even led some experts and industry leaders to warn that the technology could lead to human extinction.
Two new Australian companies have announced potential exposure in the data breach by law firm HBL Ebsworth which has already compromised more than 40 government agencies.
There has been a sharp increase in the number of Australians who feel data breaches are the biggest privacy risk they face today, according to a survey released by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
So, is it just a glorified autocomplete or the most significant development in human history since the release of the graphical user interface or the iPhone? The inaugural Generative AI Summit 2023 held in Sydney last month heard from different points of view on business uptake including input from entities such as NAB, Optus and the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX).
The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), a new Australian Commonwealth agency that began operating from July 1, has turned to the cloud for its enterprise software under long term contracts with Kapish and TechnologyOne.
For any technology-driven time saver it is imperative to ask: how will the time savings be spent? We’ve all read a lot about how spiffy new generative AI tools like ChatGPT can save workers time by writing first drafts of all kinds of content, from emails to internal reports to customer communications. So, when the effort required to produce content decreases, will that time be spent on other business activities, reducing employee stress, or producing more content?
Ever wondered what might be (one of the) secret ingredients for a successful, transformational IT project? Well, other than the obvious and well-documented stuff such as good Project Management discipline, you will also need a robust and effective governance, shared with your customer. It’s not an unnecessary overhead or an administrative burden. It is key to every project’s success.
