Using Information generated by AI Academic Skills Kit Newcastle University

Further Help on finding good resources for your coursework or dissertations is available or the 24/7 Chat or in person in the Library. Alternatively, you can contact yourFaculty Librarian for more specialized, in-depth help. We’d also be really interested inhearing how you’ve used generative AI in your studies or research, so please drop us a line if you’ve astory to tell.

Black box nature – AI learns patterns from data without the need for explicit programming to create an output. As Alison highlighted, this can create issues around transparency and how a certain output was reached. ChatGPT is a publicly accessible large language model natural processing tool in the form of an AI chatbot generating conservational text.

On the surface it may appear that what generative AI tools do is not just a search for information, they also find and present information for you. You do not need to follow links to online materials or seek out print sources because AI has presented you with the answer and the information is right there in the response. Searching for, reading, and synthesising information to inform your academic work can take time and requires the development of your academic skills. It may be tempting to think that tools such as ChatGPT, Bing, Bard and Perplexity AI speed up this process by finding information for you on a topic and answering your questions directly. However, it is important to know a little more about how these tools work, the information they provide, and to think critically about whether the information they create is appropriate for your intended use. Harry agreed that EQ is not a current strength of AI tools but believed that this skill would develop more quickly than anticipated and that the pace of change is underestimated.

Your Saved Searches

Generative AI can provide such translations, but care should still be taken with the results. Cite theoriginal document and include in the main text or a footnote a note that machine translation was used.Check with your tutors that this type of citation is acceptable. Don’t forget to be careful in the language of your prompts in order to get the best results.

If you usethe word ‘football’, don’t forget that many of these AIs are built by US companies and may not giveyou the same results as ‘soccer’. Be very careful about asking generative AI to summarize particular texts. Even if it knows (or claimsto know) the work in question, its summary can be very limited, biased or miss key points. It is alwaysworth checking for yourself the actual content that it is attempting to summarize. Much like Google, which is working on its own extensive generative AI program, Baidu’s core product is its search engine, and generative AI will be expected to boost the answers available on the platform.

The Law and Ethics of Generative AI – 25 May 2023

With regard to lawyers, the role will evolve over time and those who harness AI and use it to their advantage will survive and those that refuse to evolve with the technology will fall to the wayside. James did express that the one thing he thought AI wouldn’t deliver, at least for a considerable period of time, is an EQ led decision and develop the ability to differentiate what is good from bad. Confidential information – companies are exercising caution with regard to inputting confidential information or trade secrets as training data or an instructional prompt. This would most likely destroy its confidential nature and likely put it in the public domain.

• Generative AI text tools such as ChatGPT and Bard are computer programs trained on a large language model.
• Bard is reported to be using live data and AI enhanced search such as Bing will potentially draw on up-to-date information.
• ChatGPT is a publicly accessible large language model natural processing tool in the form of an AI chatbot generating conservational text.
• In recognition of her thought leadership on generative AI, Nina Schick was officially inducted to the world’s top voted 20 keynote speakers on AI.
• John manages the UK Commercial team and leads Osborne Clarke’s international Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning group.

Many AI-generative systems today scrawl the web gathering content for their input data without having regard to such IP law. Only legitimate content, whether publicly available or accessed via licencing agreements, should be used as input data to generative AI systems. This artificial intelligence book gives an introduction to a broad range of topics in deep learning, covering mathematical and conceptual background, deep learning techniques used in industry, and research perspectives. In addition to the educational role of training employees in how to use generative AI responsibly, appropriately, and productively, there are other opportunities for using human resources expertise.

If you do use generative AI, be as specific as you can in your prompts to generate more usefulresponses. Follow up on bland (non-specific) suggestions by asking further questions. Library staff will also point out that you must not use it to produce references.

Understanding what AI systems can and cannot do is also essential to developing a clear legal awareness of the technology. What’s clear about the emerging landscape of deploying generative AI in business is that HR has a bigger role to play. Often, we would start by summarizing the plot or other content from the book before we offered our conclusions about the book’s meaning or message.

At a minimum, generative-AI systems must be subject to transparency and accountability obligations. IP rights should be upheld and new exemptions under the guise of promoting innovation should not come at the expense of the rights and compensation of creators and artists. Technologies can continue to develop and support society while protecting human creators by relying on licenced data with consent. In 2021, the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued guidelines for companies on generative AI, outlining transparency requirements. The UK’s Policy Paper on AI regulation published in March 2023 foresees regulatory clarifications regarding generative AI and IP rights.

You might be familiar with that name, as he was one of the founders of LinkedIn and is behind the new inflexion AI service that’s launched a digital assistant called Pi. This book provides a helpful overview of how AI can elevate humanity and a view of the developments in the world of generative AI. One of the nice things about Talk to Books was that it was only returning answers from books which tend to be authoritative. Bard, on the other hand, pulls some information from the web – sometimes it just makes things up too, not good. Earlier this year, Google released its generative AI product Bard to the public but before Bard, Google was using a neural language model in a product called Talk to Books. This AI launched in 2018 but didn’t get as much fanfare as Bard, and now the search giant is killing it off.

As an aspiring screenwriter or author, you dream of creating a story that resonates, enchants, and leaves your audience craving for more. The Simulation Hypothesis, by best-selling author, renowned MIT computer scientist, and Silicon Valley video game designer Rizwan Virk, explains one of the most daring and consequential theories of our time…. The Age of Surveillance Capitalism is neither a hand-wringing narrative of danger and decline nor a digital fairy tale. It offers a reasoned and evocative examination of the contests over the next chapter of capitalism that will decide the meaning of information civilization…. The Authors Guild, in its letter, said that the companies would still be responsible for copyright infringement if AI obtained their works from such libraries.

Indeed, the authors set out six hybrid ‘human + machine’ roles that they believe every business must put in place. In one of the most recent books I’ve read (at the time of writing this article), Lee argues that, thanks to China’s astonishing growth in this area, it now rivals the US in AI technology. For both of these superpowers, and indeed the rest of the world, this means dramatic genrative ai business and societal changes will hit us sooner than anyone could imagine. Are you ready to unlock the full potential of ChatGPT and revolutionize the way you work, communicate, and achieve your goals? This comprehensive guide is designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills necessary to harness the power of ChatGPT, the cutting-edge language model developed by OpenAI.
