PHILADELPHIA: "Good vs. Evil" was the stark subtitle of the artificial-intelligence (AI) panel earlier this month at Philadelphia Alliance for Capital and Technologies' yearly Phorum conclave at Penn State Great Valley.
The tech-business group summoned technologists to make sense of the disorientingly rapid growth of programs like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Microsoft's Bard, which process online sources to create quick, detailed narratives from a user's questions. They are designed to "learn" from repeated use, improving over time.
