News & Reviews:   Artificial Intelligence

Hot on the heels of Google’s generative AI for Workspaces, is Microsoft’s take on it, which they have called Microsoft 365 Copilot. Designed to parse through your OneDrive (where Microsoft expects you to put all your personal images and details too) Copilot can automatically create and summarize emails, presentations, spreadsheets and documents throughout Microsoft’s Office 365 suite, Outlook and more.

Google recently announced how exactly they’re going to integrate their Generative AI into some of their products. This includes the ability where you can ask GMail to write your emails and cover letters, auto-generate summaries in Google Docs, automatically make presentations and so forth.  

We called it when Microsoft announced their VALL-E AI voice cloning project, but scammers using such AI voice cloners have already put them into action as an elderly couple were recently scammed out of $21000 Canadian dollars (~RM69115). Apparently, a “lawyer” had called the elderly couple claiming that their son had killed an American diplomat in a car accident, was in jail without a phone and needed money for legal fees.

It’s very interesting how fast AI programs like OpenAI’s ChatGPT can churn out content, code and plans. However, we’ve found that AI writing tends to be a bit shallow or generic but you can judge for yourself in our 2nd article generated by ChatGPT. Check ChatGPT and the Impact on Jobs: What Does the Future of Work Look Like? out below or see what it wrote in our first ChatGPT written article.

Microsoft recently announced that their new AI-powered Bing search engine and Edge browser are now available… but if you were hoping to ask Bing to write your homework tonight, all you can do for now is register on the waitlist as it is only available to a select few.

OpenAI, makers of the AI-driven Chat GPT, have released a new AI classifier that might be able to check if something has been written using Chat GPT. However, just like their own Chat GPT, they also included plenty of disclaimers saying that their AI classifier “is not fully reliable”... and they’re right.

Google is onto something that will make our lives easier. The tech giant announced that it's working on an AI model that can decipher difficult-to-read handwriting, especially on notes and prescriptions written by doctors.

Microsoft not only announced a bunch of new Surface products at the Surface event, but it also presented something that could take on the tools offered by Canva and Adobe. Designer has arrived as a graphic design app powered by DALL-E 2, an OpenAI technology, which helps to generate images according to the phrases you type in.

Google has introduced something new to aid the healthcare field. Google Cloud Medical Imaging Suite is a tool that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) in diagnosing patients with various illnesses. The tech giant hopes this new tool will help to recognize a large proportion of sicknesses so that medical staff can shorten their time treating the patients.

If you ask the average person about artificial intelligence (AI), they might think of more common systems like voice assistants. But that's just the tip of the iceberg, and people are finding more ways to make AI more useful. In fact, someone managed to win an art competition using AI.
