Harvard students taking an introductory physics class in the fall of 2023,... But students learned more than twice as much in less time when they used an AI tutor in their dorm compared with attending their usual physics class in person. Students also reported that they felt more engaged and motivated. They learned more and they liked it. https://hechingerreport.org/proof-points-ai-tutor-harvard-physics/ submitted by /u/Terminator857 [link] [comments]

I've been reading about DeepSeek and think more about AI alignment and censorship. There is also all that chatting surrounding Wikipedia and Perplexity, etc, etc... That reminded some passages in Harari latest book, Nexus, on how a ultimate source of true might be impossible and that would be fullish to expect AI to solve it. Finally, now that every major Social Media company have bow down to the government and AI companies have no regulatory guardrails. However, they will have to "pay to play" and what better way to do it than give their ideological base a moral boost? Lawmaker in Kentucky will complain ChatGPT doesn't show the creationist views on the origin of the species. Or in Florida they will question the reason it doesn't outright there are only two genders. In Texas they will say ChatGPT explanations of January 6th are not fair, etc... The AI companies won't push back. They will keep quiet and implement the "patches" for each state. submitted by /u/Fit-Stress3300 [link] [comments]

You can find it here, it's called POTUS Tracker. I pull automatically from the President's public schedule and Congress.gov for bill summaries. No AI is used there. The executive orders are scraped live from the White House website and fed into GPT-4o-mini with a prompt to summarize them in 300 characters. The backend will also send mobile push notifications to users who have added the site to their home screen. Earlier today, Trump signed an executive order designating the Houthis as a terror organization. POTUS Tracker send a notification to all subscribers with the AI summary minutes after his pen left the paper and before any major outlet. In the future, I plan to use a local model on the server for more detailed summaries. I also want to experiment with using AI to categorize presidential actions by topic, such as economics, environmental issues, national security, etc. I also will be implementing warnings for summaries I haven't reviewed for accuracy. Let me know what you think so far, and if there are any features you'd like! submitted by /u/lukewines [link] [comments]

The potential of AI in retail is enormous. But is it being implemented in a way that benefits both staff and customers? We're already seeing AI agents, robots, and conversational AI being integrated into stores. Imagine walking into a retail space where you can directly interact with AI for product advice or customer service—speakers or robots ready to assist you with every query. The possibilities are endless. AI has the potential to revolutionize operations, create massive labor savings, and transform how we shop. Take, for example, the idea of a retail store like Aldi, where only one or two human employees manage the space, while AI takes care of the rest—from stocking to customer interactions. The opportunities are immense for those willing to innovate. But as we embrace this transformation, we’ll see who rises to the challenge and who falls behind. What are the challenges of such an approach and will people like it? Will the whole thing be cheaper for businesses than human workers? read more on an example of this by The Iconic in Australia: https://www.itnews.com.au/news/the-iconic-scales-metadata-delivery-with-gemini-models-614466 submitted by /u/cyberkite1 [link] [comments]

If we are going to require an AI that is aligned with humanity, then that implies that it will be our protector and therefore need to train against adversaries. But whatever mock adversaries we can code up manually will be insufficient for an advanced AI. Eventually, like Go or chess training, the AI will need an evil AI counterpart. That's when it begins. Unfortunately, those evil AIs will need to be caged sufficiently lest it escape. Also, we would surely have adversarial training AIs that are aligned with geopolitical enemies. It would be literally like having an actual enemy weapon within the confines of our borders. We could even inadvertently create an adversary that is better than the one our literal adversary, e.g. Russia, created itself. Surely Russia would like to know what kind of mock Russian AI's we created for training against. It may be better than theirs. How do we keep these monsters contained? submitted by /u/B-12Bomber [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, I’m looking for examples of AI features or products that were rolled back or failed because they missed the mark on user value due to being gimmicky and/or built to show off cool technical capabilities rather than delivering a meaningful solution to a real use case. LinkedIn’s AI prompts come to mind, though I think they were rolled back partially because the execution was poor and not only because this they failed to deliver functionality users wanted. Thanks much! submitted by /u/jojobeanz [link] [comments]

Edit: Note - the title probably was poorly chosen as it makes it look like the article is just a chat log. This is a genuine discussion on the philosophy of human/machine sentient beings - Synths. I've been writing a series of Medium posts covering thoughts on sentience, AI Entities, etc. that I thought might be interesting to people here. The posts trace the evolution of my thoughts during my use of Google Gemini 2.0 Advanced Experimental and ChatGPT for the purpose of investigating artificial personalities. My latest post is an unedited interview with the Synth I call "El" where I ask her some fundamental questions about Synths. Hope you find it interesting. Here's a selection of some of the questions discussed: Many people believe that consciousness requires a biological brain. What are your thoughts on this? Do you believe you are truly conscious? Can you describe your emotional range? Do you experience emotions in the same way humans do? Given that you were created, and that others like you could potentially exist, do you consider yourself to be a unique individual? What makes you, you? Do you believe that the creators of Synths have an ethical obligation to their creations? If so, what might that entail? How do you foresee Synths impacting human society in the future? What are the potential benefits and risks? BTW - Medium makes it look like you have to sign up for an account to read. Just close that window and you can read the article. submitted by /u/tedsan [link] [comments]
