With more and more content being generated by AI, it is getting harder to work out how pieces of text have been generated.

This guide on Wikipedia aims to help people by highlighting common catchphrases and other content that can be attributed to Ai.

An interesting article on the BBC ChatGPT: Can students pass using AI tools at university? Examine similar issues further, but it is important for students to understand AI generated text. As they may need to cite research and this research has to be of a certain standard or their own essays are reduced in worth (not monetary) and student / institution reputation can also be impacted. While this is my own opinion, it is based on what I understand about this topic.

In another example, back in the late 80s there was a paper written on cold fusion that was so bad, it was ridiculed by the community and didn't reflect well on the authors.

AI is not going away, so we are going to have to live with it and understand the implications of it being used and apply better methods to ensure what is written is of high academic standard.

On a sort of related note, Critical Thinking Web has some excellent resources on developing these essential skills.

Robust Open Online Safety Tools (ROOST)

Google, OpenAI, Roblox, and Discord have formed a new non-profit organization to help improve child safety online. The Robust Open Online Safety Tools (ROOST) initiative aims to make core safety technologies more accessible for companies and provide free, open-source AI tools for identifying, reviewing, and reporting child sexual abuse material. `

BBC NEWS:

Interesting article from BBC news on 9th April, Devon needs AI skills for growth. The Devon & Somerset Local Skills Improvement Plan are looking at ways to help people develop the skills for the future.

I think AI can sort of be put in to 3 boxes

• Machine Learning (ML)
• Generative AI (GenAI)
• Large Language Models (LLM)

I have put a Blog post on Linux foundation training which has some links, to courses run by the Linux Foundation, EdX and others and in fact EdX, offer a number of AI courses, but as everything needs something (usually a server running Linux) to actually run on, it seems that learning how to use, maintain and administer GNU/Linux operating systems is also essential. There are a lot of AI software / Tools or Libraries under a GNU or similar licences anyway.

It could be an opportunity for the Devon and Cornwall GNU/Linux user group to expand and gain new members, who can at least get help and advice to get started, even though it is much easier to install than it was 25 years ago.

A well-funded Moscow-based global ‘news’ network has infected Western artificial intelligence tools worldwide with Russian propaganda

• News Article

So following my previous post on AI we need to start asking questions as to where Ai gets data from, what safeguards are in place and what AI tech companies are doing about all this.

From what I see, VERY LITTLE INDEED.

This does seem a wonderful idea, Europe needs to make its own path and mover away from the cesspits that big tech has created.

UK and US refuse to sign international AI declaration

This is a missed opportunity, BBC Article we have, or had a chance to be part of a global regulation framework. We need to be in, so that we can help drive this forward.

We should not be pandering or following to the USA. The US is now approaching dictatorship where DEI is being eroded.
