before it gets down here. not getting rain from that. what we might experience could potentially be a little bit of an uptick in temperatures. we will be in the middle 70s for san jose tomorrow. we will see the temperatures for the most part in the lower 70s, middle 60s everywhere else. and when we look at the seven-day forecast you will notice the pattern play out for us in quite an agreeable way for a holiday weekend. look at the numbers up here for inland parts of the bay area, hitting 80 as we approach monday of next week. it will be nice. we have no rain coming our way. i will show you what it looks like for the bay as well. you can see the numbers also working out quite nicely. we will pause it right there for now. we will have much more on this coming up in the 5:00 newscast >> all right, thank you very much. there has been a shake up in the bay area tech world related to artificial intelligence. a ceo was suddenly fired and now hundreds of employees are threatening to quit. open ai, behind the

ground breaking program chat gpt, fired its ceo and founder, sam altman. the company says an investigation found that altman was not always truthful. he was picked up by microsoft. he will lead a new artificial intelligence project. meantime, hundreds of open ai employees signed a letter calling on the board to step down since they were unable to reach an agreement to bring altman back. some are threatening to join microsoft. open ai named the new interim ceo who is the former ceo of the streaming platform twitch. >> salesforce is joining the option for an offer for researchers that resign. in the post, he offers salesforce will match any open ai researcher

who has tenured their resignation full carbto join our einstein trusted research team. we will have more on the story as it develops. meantime we know the role of artificial intelligence is evolving, right? so many aspects of our lives. it is happening fast. i took a walk with uc berkeley business professor to ask about the wide-reaching impacts of ai. what we should know about it now and what is still left to be seen. >> so, how often are you talking about ai? your classes? >> a lot. it is in everything. i teach strategy, people ask me about ai there, people ask me about ai and strategy, what is the future of ai strategy. invasion courses, management courses, i teach courses on, you know, foresight and futures and obviously that is a big thing right now, ai and the future and the future of ai, it is everywhere. you can not really avoid it anymore nor should you. >> what should people actually

be worried about? >> i think we should be worried about abuse. abuse on human to human level but on a political level. i am worried about the elections next year. now with a lot of the models we have the power tools to manipulate people at scale. and, so, i am personally worry about that. then there are things like being able to, you know, explain what is going on in these models, most do not understand them. many experts do not understand exactly how they work, how they compose things the way they do, make decisions and recommend things the way they do. so, explainability it is big. if you can not explain you can not understand, you can not shape what you don't understand. that is big. so, those are the things that i would say. then things like what is happening with all of our data that these models take to the data. what about property rights, digital property rights, new slew of rights, so, those are the things that i think we should

be worried about. >> what should people not be worried about when it comes to ai as well. >> well, look, obviously we should look at ai in weapons and there are people here at berkeley that do it well. i don't think we need to worry about the terminator-vision that we see in the movies, that will not happen tomorrow. that is a few decades off, maybe. but, but i do think the other one is, of course, that is on everybody's minds, future of jobs. i don't think we need to be worried about all of the doom and gloom predictions, 40%-50% of all jobs going away in the next five to 10 years, but we have a few problems when it comes to the future of jobs and we have to talk about those as well. >> right. >> such as, you know, creating enough capacity to train people, right? that is one of them. then, then obviously people and digital content, that is another one. data is labor. and, how to design new

jobs with ai at the core. or somewhere in the job any way, right? so, that is a design challenge. organizations need to think about how do i design the jobs >> you don't think folks should be replaced by ai, you think every job it replaces it will create more jobs? maybe multiple jobs? >> it will create new jobs and it will create new tasks in existing jobs, right? people need to pay attention to how much of the task composition of my job is going to go to ai and what is my role in that. how do i interact with ai? how do i do a better job with ai? how do i maintain or increase my productivity with ai? that is what i mean by design challenge, we have to be deliberate about that. something to be concerned about. if we get the right we can get to higher levels of activity and satisfaction and entirely new jobs, right? think about it. you can actually, you

know, hand a lot of the stuff that i don't want to do that is more efficient that does not get tired about it. you get to devote your time on things that might be higher value. >> what about government regulations how big of a role should the government play in what ai is capable of doing and how it continues to evolve? >> yeah. i think you know, countries like many of the european countries have been aggressive about regulating, i think a lot of mistakes are being made there. but it is a good thing to have an active government that is as, look, let's steer and shape this in the interest of people, right? i think we need a little more of that here in the united states. so, i think that we need an ai regulator. you know, organization that really has the technical talent to understand, monitor what going on in ai and help us shape it. we need some parental super vision as it were. situational

aware ons a central level. all right, so, obviously a lot of questions about who should regulate ai and how. coming up next, we are going to talk to a cybersecurity exbetter about that. and about the future of

bounced from one doctor to the next. did they even send my lab work...? wait, was i supposed to bring that? then there's the forms. the bills. the 'not a bills.' the.... ”press 4 to repeat these options.” [chaotic music] [inspirational music] healthcare can get a whole lot easier when your medical records, care and coverage are in one place. at kaiser permanente, all of us work together for all that is you.

. as ai continues to develop its reach and power continues to grow. so, how can we keep it from getting too big too fast? well, joining me live now is san jose state cybersecurity expert. let's start with what is happening at open ai. how much of a shake up is this? to the company it is huge but for the greater ai industry as a whole what does it mean? >> it is a big surprise to everybody. it happened in a short period of time. no one seen this coming. one of the things about it, you are talking about two million programmers that actually are building their programs based

on open ai, chat gpt. they are looking at it carefully. should we continue with that? it is a big shake up in the industry. >> we are hearing about people, specifically sam altman. we need to make sure there are check and balances with ai. how does it compare with other tech companies, such as social media when it comes to taking an active approach to regulating the industry >> it is a smart move from ai industry and specifically from sam to talk about it. talking about regulation, talking about guardrails and guidelines and checkpoints making sure it is not running out of control. the reason for this, it is happening in a very fast, you know, really fast speed in a short time. this month is the anniversary of the introduction of chat gpt. we are talking about being part of the lives of so many people. when you talk about it, you need a

regulation that makes sure it is not going out of control. for people to do bad acts or bad things >> it is important to note this is not the first time ai has been around. it has opinion developed over 15 years, just now it feels like folks are starting to pay attention, why do you think it took so long, why now? >> that is a good point, liz ai started in the 1940s, it went through something like winter ai, where people forget about it, it is not working. three factors that made it so powerful and made this big splash the past few years. >> the data. we collected from everywhere. which is the fuel of ai. we have tons of data. number 2, we have programs that can run it. and we have the hardware. we have the cpu, we have all of the companies

providing us the hardware. you get the evolution, the evolution of ai. >> now, let's be honest, ai makes most of our lives easier, makes things more convenient, let's you do tasks a lot faster. i am curious, though, with the push back of concerns about artificial intelligence because it seems with the different programs people want the convenience is progress inevitable? do we have to resign to the fact that ai is here to stay. it will get more prevalent in our lives, frankly it makes doing everyday tasks more efficient. >> that is a true statement. the train left the station and no way to stop it. it is good technology if it is used the right way. i understand the concern about the jobs, concern about, you know, many factors for example, privacy, security of the data, talking about the bias and the ethics of the data

that is collected. one of the things that people can do is up scale themselves, get yourself with this wave of ai and see how can you really benefit from that? you don't have to be a software engineer. you don't have to be someplace in technology to use or train for ai. so 59 tasks can be done you don't have to have a technical background. >> thank you for joining us, great insight. i am sure as all of the new stories develop we will check in with you a lot more. thanks so much. >> thank you. well, it is a habit for a lot of us. mindlessly scrolling on our phones, with that can come triggering images. i met a study who is working on that. >> reporter: she looks at her life like an algorithm, drawn to a formula. she discovered fencing when she was 12 years old. now at 20 she is

sharpening her skills for a different kind of battle. she does not just want to be a student she wants to be a super hero. >> i think if not saving the world i want to at least make it a better place. >> her mission began a few years ago when she was the only teenager on the planet not on social media. >> i just never called to me. when covid hit i ended up wanting to stay in touch in a way that was not just phone calls. >> reporter: right away she noticed a change in how she saw the world and herself. >> i realized that all of the information that i was getting about current events was through a specific lens. it was changing how i thought the rest of the world throughout about it. and then also, when i was seeing all of the beautiful women all of the time i did not realize at the time there were editing and things going on behind the scenes to make them look that way. >> it was not until she got to berkeley that she discovered her super power. building ai technology to help combat the negative effects of social media by changing the

recommender systems used by google, facebook and other companies filter out what a user sees on their feed. >> talking about it. >> reporter: the professor and the executive director at the uc berkeley center for human compatible ai. >> half of the world's populations gets up in the morning and looks at something on line. and recommender systems are deciding what they see first and second and so forth. things that make you angry when something looks like it is unfair, things that make you feel worried about yourself or how you look. all of these things catch your attention, so, that is what tends to bubble to the top. >> at this berkeley lab among the robots and other ai invasions, she is building something that is not about what you can see. it is about how it makes you feel. >> to make sure the content that you are seeing is meaningful. a better feeling

after being on social media for hours. instead of looking at time spent or how many times you clicked on something we are looking at more meaningful metrics like what your content could have been or general user profile might be and what you might like in the future. >> what her algorithm is doing is taking that, literally, asking users some what randomly, how they feel and how they feel about, you know, their experience on line last week or how they feel in general. these are actually carefully crafted from a social science way, questionnaires, and they take the output of the questions and feed them back into the algorithm. when you put that back into the system it turns out that the outcomes are improved in terms of your well-being. >> as for who is buying her algorithm. >> i can not name names because of lab contracts but i can say that we are working closely and

collaboratively with some of the biggest names out there in social media and we are, and they are also invested in creating a better, more kind of long-term beneficial product for their users. >> reporter: this passion is about more than just business. she is carrying on a legacy started by her father who was also an ai engineer. he died when she was just 15 years old. she can still hear his voice. >> actually the idea of our family super heroes came from him. he would say we are super heros and can take on anything. that is where it started for me. for him it would be a follow up to our super hero family. >> saving the world one algorithm at a time. well, still ahead, we look at ai in the workplace. see how a bay area

. a bay area company is taking advantage of ai to help revolutionize the workplace. changing the way companies sift through documents. you can put anything from an identification card to an instruction manual

into the system to analyze. then, you simply ask the ai whatever question you want to know about the documents. the founder compares it to a calculator saying it is a tool to help us work faster. >> i currently believe that the issue is huge value from the ai and the human production. privacy and safety concerns they said his company has security and privacy protections built into it. coming up, from job interviews to even dates. face-to-face communication can sometimes get a little awkward. we look at a new ai tool that is meant to

. a stanford graduate student is finding a way to use artificial intelligence to keep the conversation going. rizgpt. the device is still in the early stages but here is how it works. there is a camera and a microphone. it can listen into conversations or read signs or menus. then, it uses gene generitive ai. >> it is a huge part of how people stay happy and have thriving lifestyles outside of

work. i think that is missing for a huge chunk of this generation. >> he tells us this tool could be beneficial for those that experience social anxiety, difficulty with public speaking, or other communication challenges. what will they think of next? thank you for joining us for today's special look into ai and the developing role into so many fields. we invite you to share ♪ ♪ >> tonight, with thanksgiving just three days away, millions of you are hitting the road as a storm is also making its way across the country, setting up a possible travel headache, here are tonight's headlines. physical visible good to have you -- could heavy rain or snow effect thanksgiving travel? premature babies evacuated from gaza's largest hospital or the
