Five Things AI: Pigeons, Hostages, Regulation, Bias, Beatles
Even if you don't have a pigeon-brain, you should read this mail now.
Just another week in which AI has not enslaved all humans, yet. It has been a year since OpenAI released Chat-GPT3 and sparked the development of lots of GenerativeAI companies, fueled by more than hundred billion $ - but do you really think it has lived up to its promise? Did the workplace really change that much? Aside from the new way of asking stupid questions - when we ask the machine, the colleagues won’t find out what we don’t know. I’m a bit underwhelmed at the moment and I assume, that the real push will happen when LLM can really be used by companies without any data safety issues. Let’s see how fast regulation will move the industry into that direction.
For now, you have to read these five articles yourself. Enjoy.

Pigeons problem-solve similarly to artificial intelligence, research shows
This is fascinating: “In an AI model, the main goal is to recognize patterns and make decisions. Pigeons, as research shows, can do the same. Learning from consequences, when not given a food pellet, pigeons have a remarkable ability to correct their errors. Similarity function is also at play for pigeons, by using their ability to find resemblance between two objects.”

Humans Absorb Bias from AI—And Keep It after They Stop Using the Algorithm
This is an important aspect to watch, because “we run the risk of letting algorithmic “black boxes” propel us into a self-defeating cycle in which AI leads to more-biased humans, who in turn create increasingly biased algorithms.” - not a good idea.

A ‘New’ Beatles Song Reunites the Voices of John, Paul, George and Ringo
The old rivalry between the Beatles and Rolling Stones just won’t stop. I’m sure the new Beatles song won’t be as good as Hackney Diamonds, which is quite good for a bunch of really old guys.
