🗞️ LATEST NEWS & TRENDS

1️⃣ OpenAI has devised a method using GPT-4 for content moderation, comparing AI decisions with human judgments. While they claim efficiency, past AI moderation tools have shown biases. Thus, while GPT-4 might improve moderation, human oversight remains essential.

2️⃣ During recent earnings calls, publishing executives debated generative AI's impact on media. News Corp's CEO warned of AI's potential harm to journalism, while BuzzFeed and IAC saw business opportunities. A key issue is tech companies using content without authorization for LLM training, prompting negotiations for compensation. Although the exact role of generative AI in media remains unclear, a consortium, including News Corp, is pushing for regulatory protection against unauthorized content use by LLMs. The New York Times has left this coalition.

3️⃣ Major companies, including Unilever and Siemens, use AI to optimize supply chains amid geopolitical and human rights concerns. Generative AI advancements enhance supply chain automation. Maersk and others deploy AI chatbots, like Pactum, for contract negotiations. Siemens uses tools like Scoutbee to diversify suppliers. While 96% of supply chain professionals plan to adopt AI, job security concerns remain.

4️⃣ David Vellante's article highlights the ongoing debate between cloud versus on-premises hosting for generative AI systems. Survey data reveals a projected rise in AI spending. Concerns about IP leakage, data migration challenges, and technical debt shape the cloud vs. on-premises conversation. Drawing parallels with early cloud adoption, the article stresses the importance of thoughtful deployment decisions for AI, as public clouds offer rich tools and scalability, but on-premises systems may be more cost-effective in certain scenarios. Proper understanding is crucial to prevent costly missteps in AI system deployment.

🗞️ RESOURCES

The University of Toronto provides preliminary guidance on the use of generative AI, like ChatGPT, in graduate thesis research and writing, emphasizing academic quality, research integrity, and transparency. Graduate students must gain written approval from supervisors and committees before using generative AI, and unauthorized use may result in academic penalties. Theses should properly cite and describe any generative AI usage, and both students and faculty should be aware of associated risks. Specific departments may have additional requirements or provide further guidelines on generative AI's role in research and writing.

🗞️ WORK

McKinsey's recent report sheds light on the transformative role of AI across industries. Rapid AI growth is most prominent in knowledge-heavy sectors like tech and banking, yet many firms remain unprepared for its widespread adoption. On the job front, while AI threatens about 12 million US jobs primarily in the service sectors, there's potential growth in STEM and healthcare roles. Despite certain pushbacks, remote work continues to gain momentum, especially with tech giants recruiting for such positions. The future of work will see a blend of increased remote positions and AI integration.
