Technology is changing us and we are co-evolving with it. Wise Animals, a book I recently reviewed for @newscientist, provides interesting philosphical perspectives that relate to its potential impact on our lives in the future

Chatbots are often perceived to have a personality, which is prompting researchers to better understand synthetic personalities and how they can be shaped. My latest for @ACMLarry .

Bigger is typically better when it comes to AI. But researchers are finding that the opposite can also happen: large language models that power chatbots like ChatGPT can perform less well as they increase in size. My latest for @ACMLarry

Chatbots are often capable of solving difficult tasks they haven't been trained for. Researchers are now examining what that could mean. My latest for @ACMLarry @TheOfficialACM

I am grateful to have received a travel grant to attend the @HLForum, a networking event for young researchers and laureates in their fields. I got to talk to some of the laureates about the uses and outlook for generative AI:

Human voices can now be recreated by AI with a speaking sample of about one minute. Researchers are now developing ways to fight their misuse. My latest for @TheOfficialACM @ACMLarry

Instead of speaking to digital voice assistants such as Alexa and Siri, we soon could interact with our devices simply by thinking of what we want to say to them. My latest for @TheOfficialACM @ACMLarry

I got to listen to some podcasts for @newscientist this month. @DarknetDiaries is particularly good.

Researchers are now considering deeper questions such as what the creative potential of AI could be and how it can be quantified. My latest for @TheOfficialACM.

The influence of AI in the realm of friendship “could have profound implications, shaping not only our interpersonal relationships, but also our societal structures.” My latest for @ACMLarry

Instead of 2D computer screens, we could soon be interacting with holographic displays. My latest for @TheOfficialACM
