OpenAI releases guidelines for teachers on how to use ChatGPT in classrooms

🤖News - OpenAI has released a guide for teachers on how to use ChatGPT in the classroom. The guide includes suggested prompts, an explanation of how ChatGPT works, its limitations, and bias. And it is intended for teachers of all levels, from elementary school to college.

👽What key topics does the guide cover?

• OpenAI requires ChatGPT users to be at least 13 years old and users between the ages of 13 and 18 must have parental or guardian permission to use the chatbot. To prevent AI usage in tests, OpenAI recommends that educators do their own research on different approaches and formulate their AI policies based on what works best for them. This is because there is no one-size-fits-all solution to this issue.

• The guide also recommends that educators not rely on AI detectors that are available in the market. This is because none of these AI detectors have been proven to reliably distinguish between AI-generated and human-generated content. In fact, OpenAI's own AI detector labeled human-written text like Shakespeare and the Declaration of Independence as AI-generated.

• To address the issue of students presenting AI-generated content as their own, OpenAI suggests that teachers should encourage students to share specific conversations from ChatGPT. This will, in fact, help educators verify that students are engaging with the tool responsibly and meaningfully, rather than simply copying answers.

Meta takes steps to address biases in vision models with new AI benchmark

🤡Context of the news - Bias in a vision model is when the model makes mistakes because of the way it was trained. This is where the term 'AI benchmark' comes in. It is a set of tasks that are used to test an AI model. The AI benchmark can help to identify biases in the model.

👨‍💻News - In order to help researchers find biases in AI vision models, Meta released a new AI benchmark called FACET (FAirness in Computer Vision EvaluaTion).

It contains 50,000 people that have been labeled by human annotators. It means that FACET has a lot of different people in its data set which will ensure that the benchmark is not biased towards any particular group of people.

🧑‍🏫What is its specialty? FACET takes into account a wider range of factors that can contribute to bias in AI models. It can also be used to answer specific questions. These questions can help researchers to understand the nature of the bias and to develop ways to reduce it.

To create FACET, Meta had annotators label each of the 32,000 images. They labeled the images for things like the person's gender, age, skin color, hair style, and what they were doing in the image.

Germany to invest nearly €500M in AI research and innovation by 2024

👩‍💼News - Germany is planning to allocate €500 million for AI research and innovation by 2024, with a concentration on supercomputing infrastructure, skill development, and women-led research groups.

The announcement was made by the country's research minister, Bettina Stark-Watzinger, who said that the investment is part of a broader effort to achieve "technological sovereignty" and avoid reliance on outside powers.

👩‍⚖️What’s more? Stark-Watzinger also emphasized the need for more cooperation on AI within the European Union, citing France and Scandinavian countries as potential partners. She believes that Europe's approach to AI, which emphasizes trust and transparency, gives the continent a competitive advantage.

Despite being a member of the Free Democratic Party, which generally opposes regulation, Stark-Watzinger argued that Europe's approach to AI, which emphasizes trust and transparency, is actually a competitive advantage.

However, the German AI Association has expressed concerns that the EU's AI Act, which is currently under review in Brussels, could hinder innovation.
