"Since Open AI, the company behind ChatGPT, made its API public, there have been a number of Chrome extensions developed to take advantage of the AI revolution. These AI-powered browser extensions offer a wide range of features that can help teachers create a more engaging learning environments for their students."

"While providing technical details on the risks of AI, the action plan also introduces policy proposals that can help the U.S. and its allies mitigate these risks."

"Unlike other similar options, ChatPDF has a convenient free tier that doesn’t need any accounts or configuration and isn’t directly tied to any other platform. You can upload up to two documents each day, and they can be up to 120 pages long and up to 10 MB in size. That’s quite impressive in comparison to similar services’ free plans."

"Open release LLMs should not be given a free pass given the realities that they can, have been and will be used to perpetrate malicious use at a broader scale than closed source LLMs....

As much as we should be wary of premature, naive regulation that impedes the societal benefits of new technologies, so should we be wary of a hands off approach that assumes the marketplace will address all possibilities for societal harm and any regulation is bad."

"AI-powered video development tools are adept at crafting visually stunning and impactful content that leaves a lasting impression."

"It’s human nature to seek immediate applications for novel technologies, especially ones as promising and pervasive as recent developments around AI."

"Artificial intelligence seems more powerful than ever, with chatbots like Bard and ChatGPT capable of producing uncannily humanlike text. But for all their talents, these bots still leave researchers wondering: Do such models actually understand what they are saying?"

"An emerging development is AI with multimodal capability. The functionalities listed above are mainly single modal, meaning they are each designed to work with a single type or source of data, such as text. A year or two ago (2022–2023), Chatbots were the big deal and they were single modal. Multimodal AI systems are trained on and can work with multiple (two or more) input sources: text, images, audio, sensors."

UTRGV faculty Art Brownlow, Bonnie Garcia, Jerald Hughes, Rene Corbeil, and George Handly discuss how to approach the use of Generative Ai and tools like ChatGPT in higher education.

"Stevens says that a professor in a criminal justice course she took last year gave her a zero on a paper because he said that the AI-detection system in Turnitin flagged it as robot-written. Stevens insists the work is entirely her own and that she did not use ChatGPT or any other chatbot to compose any part of her paper."

"Most Americans still haven’t used the chatbot, despite the uptick since our July 2023 survey on this topic. But some groups remain far more likely to have used it than others."

"There is no doubt that the ability to generate answers to questions is a major value proposition of LLMs. However, there are other uses of LLMs that are both common and valuable. This blog will discuss a few primary uses of LLMs to ensure that you don’t fall into the trap of considering them exclusively for generative purposes."

"This year marks a significant milestone in integrating advanced AI technologies into educational practices, heralding a new era of teaching and learning. Gen AI is set to revolutionize the way we approach education."

"irresponsible AI can have far-reaching negative impacts—from influencing search engines and social media algorithms to perpetuating discrimination in the justice system and overstepping on individuals’ privacy."
