The Next Evolution of AI Is Learning From Your Dodgy Gaming Skills

Publisher preview

With the twirl of a thumbstick, squeeze of a trigger, and press of a few buttons, even an unskilled player can dance their way through a 3D video game environment. A British startup is wagering that straightforward sequences like these contain a trove of information that can be used to train new artificial intelligence models. There is a growing belief in corners of the AI industry that large language models will ultimately be limited by their inability to navigate the physical world. Trained only on words, LLMs are perhaps ill-equipped…

AI was supposed to hit new grads hard. So far, unemployment data says otherwise.

Publisher preview

“There is no evidence of any significant, widespread displacement or reduction in hiring.” Last month, we shared word of a Stanford University study that found entry-level employment in so-called “AI-impacted” occupations lagging well behind that in other fields. Now, a new working paper from economics researchers at Munich’s CESifo finds the opposite, arguing point blank that “there is no evidence of any significant, widespread displacement or reduction in hiring of recent college graduates in absolute or relative levels.” In “The Early Impacts of AI on Employment Among Recent College Graduates,”…

Google’s first experimental satellite will launch on October 1 with the aim of validating Google’s vision for a constellation of AI satellites. The satellite, dubbed MVP, is…

Better answers, broader thinking: What students gain from ChatGPT and critical-thinking training

Publisher preview

In a randomized experiment with more than 1,000 students, access to ChatGPT and training in causal reasoning improved student work in complementary ways. What happens when students use ChatGPT on a real-world assignment? Do quality improvements come at the expense of originality? A new experiment from researchers at Bocconi University, in collaboration with OpenAI Economic Research, found distinct and complementary effects from ChatGPT access and critical-thinking training. Access to ChatGPT improved the quality and coherence of students’ work, while an exercise in causal reasoning—a form of critical thinking—led students to…

Learning never stops: How AI makes learning continuous

Publisher preview

As students head back to school, OpenAI is releasing a new report on how students and educators are already using ChatGPT to extend learning beyond the classroom. Students have long had to wait until class to ask a question or get help. Teachers divide their attention among dozens of students while also managing administrative work. Parents and tutors are not always available at the moment a question arises. Now, AI is changing all of that by making guidance, feedback, and practice available whenever students need them. A privacy-preserving analysis found…

Why teens deserve access to safe AI

Publisher preview

Sharing the safeguards, policies, and experts we work with to guide our approach to teen use of safe AI. Teens are the first generation growing up with AI, and this technology will heavily shape their future. Today, nearly 9 in 10 teens on ChatGPT use it for learning, information, skill-building, or productivity in a single week. This is why we believe it’s critical for teens to have access to AI. Keeping teens from using it until adulthood would be like asking a previous generation to avoid the internet or search…
