11:25 am
surprising uses online. since it's launch this month, they use the types of questions or prompt and the program response. you me cool soon sharif shows us how these so called chat boats deliver answers at high speed. so let's see what it can do. let's begin with an easy question and that would be how do you make chocolate cake? ok, we seem to have the ingredients, algeria, that's pretty quick. second question, let's try something harder. is artificial intelligence capable of free will? now finally, one question to the boss might be, continue enemy. how do you get a promotion? so some useful tips there may be ation implement them. so we have one minute, 3 questions and pretty quick answers. david uncle is

a professor at northern illinois university and the author of the machine question . he says chad to g p t presents a lot of challenges. so we've had checked us up for a very long time since wise and created the eliza check out back in the mid 1900 sixty's. and previous chap have been formulated by explicit instructions that programmers, right? they try to anticipate what we will ask it and the sort of anticipate possible answers. the difference with the new large language models is they are machine learning based systems that are trained on very large cor pie of human texts. so they basically scour the internet for all kinds of digitized textual data. there is a number of concerns. let me just highlight 3 of them that i think are very important. one has to do with the truthfulness or the validity of what is generated by these models. are these models are only finding patterns of linguistic tokens in
11:27 am
their data and arranging words in ways that make sense to statistically. and so even if they produce results that seem reasonable, there is no way in which you can say that they have authored those with any sort of knowledge about the world of which they are speaking. secondly, because there is often in these large datasets, systemic bias and prejudice our that come from the human texts on which they're trained. we may reproduce bias and prejudice in the outcomes that are produced by these models. finally, we're using writing to really benchmark and evaluate student progress and, you know, with students using these technologies, we have to now begin the question whether or not writing is the best test of our thinking capability and critical capabilities in our students. the u. s. has been asking the question for decades, can it return to the moon and explore beyond it? now they have
11:28 am
a cautious answer. as petty calhane report splashed down and this was the moment nasa knew success, a 1st step toward putting human back on the moon completed the latest chapter of nasa's journey to the moon comes to a close. on november 16th, the optimist. one rocket lifted off and lift off of order. this was taking a journey deeper into space than ever before. coming within 120 kilometers of the moon. but the hardest part, getting the unmanned module back without burning up, it would re enter the atmosphere going $32.00 times the speed of sound, the heat surrounding it. more than 2700 degrees celsius. we're going to do scientists tried a new techniques to help with that and do a nominal maneuver will rest of the going to bounce off once we have 3 fully inflated main shoots, the parachutes deployed and the u. s. navy was ready and able to retrieve the
11:29 am
capsule and the tests inside. next up, they hope to have a crew complete with a woman. and a person of color make the journey in 2024. but the end goal is much bigger. getting astronaut on the moon, able to build a kind of way station for further exploration. that's why this is a defining day. it is one that marks the new technology. a whole new breed of astronaut ah, a, a vision for the future. but big challenge is remain before an american can step foot on the moon. the private company space x has to develop a kind of series of gas stations and space and build a lander. and there will likely be pressure from congress. these launches are costing 8 times more than was forecast in all expected to cost more than $93000000000.00 until you actually look at the earth yourself through the window. still susan kurland, the youngest person and only the 2nd woman to pilot
