1. AI chatbot shows potential as diagnostic partner

Large language model outperformed physicians under certain conditions; could potentially curb over treatment. Findings suggest that artificial intelligence could serve as useful clinical decision support tools for physiciansโฆ

2. Out of Control? Artificial intelligence models can now create smaller AI systems without the help of a human

Thatโs the first step towards a bigger job of self-evolving AI. Tiny machine learning capabilities are crucial for pervasive AI, the notion that nearly any object could become intelligent.
3. Artificial intelligence systems excel at imitation, but not innovation

Artificial intelligence systems are often depicted as sentient agents poised to overshadow the human mind. But AI lacks the crucial human ability of innovation, researchers have found โฆ

4. ๐ AI Meets Healthcare: A New Dawn in Intelligent Medicine ๐
SAN DIEGO โ At the HIMSS AI in Healthcare Forum, the buzz was all about how GPT and LLMs are changing the game in healthcare. Dr. Harvey Castro, a bigwig doc and author, is super stoked about AI's role in making smart medical decisions. And guess what? He thinks docs need to be the main players in shaping AI. ๐๐ฉโโ๏ธ
Rob Havasy, a big cheese at HIMSS, kicked things off with a look back at the wild ride of health IT. He's seen tech trends come and go, but AI? It's a whole new ballgame, especially since ChatGPT started blowing minds left, right, and center. ๐ค๐ฅ
AI's not just some sci-fi dream anymore โ it's here, in our hospitals and clinics, doing everything from predicting stuff to creating cool new things. But hold up โ with great power comes great responsibility. We've got to think about safety, transparency, privacy, and all that jazz. ๐ก๏ธ๐ง
So, about 200 brainiacs in clinical and tech leadership huddled up to dive deep into this shiny new tech. And hey, no one's an old hand at this; it's all so new that we're learning as we go. ๐ค๐
Enter Dr. Harvey Castro, ER hero, healthcare exec, and AI book guy. He's also the voice behind a largely AI-generated podcast. Talk about leading the charge! ๐๏ธ๐
Dr. Castro's cooking up ideas like using AI to make discharge instructions or creating AI-generated coloring books for kids in hospitals. He's all about this 'intelligence-based medicine' thing โ using AI to spot patterns and unravel complex medical mysteries. ๐งฌ๐
Sure, some folks are wary of this fast-moving, somewhat wild tech. But Dr. Castro? He's all in. He believes that AI, teamed up with humans, is better than humans flying solo. For now, though, good old human touch still tops the charts. ๐จโโ๏ธ๐ป๐
So there you have it, folks โ AI's making waves in healthcare, and it's just the beginning of a smarter, more insightful medical world! ๐๐ก๐ฉบ
5. AI's Achilles Heel: New Study Reveals STARTLING Vulnerabilities in Smart Systems ๐ค๐ฅ
๐จ !! MUST READ !! ๐จ
Hey AI buffs! ๐ค๐ You won't believe this latest scoop on AI! So, we've been thinking AI is the bee's knees for stuff like self-driving cars ๐ and reading X-rays ๐, right?
But hold onto your hats, 'cause a new study just dropped a bombshell:
These smarty-pants AI tools are way easier to trick than we thought! ๐ฑ
Picture this: you slap a funky sticker on a stop sign, and bam! Your AI-driven car doesn't see it anymore. ๐ Invisible! Or imagine a sneaky hacker tweaking X-ray machine codes to make AI spit out wrong diagnoses. Not cool! ๐
Tianfu Wu, a big brain from North Carolina State University and part of the study team, says that normally AI can spot a stop sign even if it's all jazzed up. But if there's a glitch in the matrix and the hacker knows it, things could go south real quick. ๐ฆ๐จ
Here's the kicker: these "adversarial vulnerabilities" in AI's deep neural networks are like, everywhere! And hackers can make AI see whatever they want. That's some scary movie stuff, right there! ๐จ
To put AI to the test, the crew whipped up this thing called QuadAttacK. It's like AI's worst nightmare. It learns how AI thinks and then messes with it to see if it'll fall for fake data. Spoiler alert: it does. ๐ต
They ran this test on four popular AI networks, and guess what? They all flunked big time. Hackers could pretty much make them see la-la land. ๐๐ต
But here's some good news: the brains behind QuadAttacK made it public. So now, all the AI geeks can use it to bulletproof their AIs against these shenanigans. ๐ก๏ธ๐ค
The paper, "QuadAttacK: A Quadratic Programming Approach to Learning Ordered Top-K Adversarial Attacks," is hitting the stage on Dec. 16 at the NeurIPS 2023 in New Orleans. ๐ท๐ The lead author, Thomas Paniagua, is a Ph.D. student at NC State, and he's got backup from his buddy Ryan Grainger.
Big shoutout to the U.S. Army Research Office and the National Science Foundation for footing the bill on this one. ๐ธ๐
So, there you have it, folks! AI's got some homework to do, and we're here for it! ๐๐ Stay tuned for the next chapter in the AI saga! ๐๐ค

Prompt Engineering: The Art and Science of Tailoring A.I. Conversations
๐๐ค Ready to amplify your AI experience? Here are some hot tips to keep you soaring!
NEW TIP #1 Craft Your Prompt with Precision ๐ฏ๐: Ever heard of the power of examples? They're like secret ingredients in your ChatGPT recipe! Say you need a snazzy slogan for your sports brand. Don't just ask for any slogan. Ask ChatGPT for: "A slogan as catchy as 'Just Do It' for my sports brand." This gives ChatGPT a clear target to aim for, ensuring you get responses that hit the bullseye! ๐ฏ๐
NEW TIP #2 Map the Journey in Your Prompt ๐บ๏ธโ๏ธ: Instead of vague requests, guide ChatGPT with a detailed roadmap. Want a fitness plan? Don't just ask for any plan. Tell ChatGPT: "Craft a step-by-step training schedule for a newbie runner aiming for their first marathon, including weekly workouts to build up to 26.2 miles." This approach lets ChatGPT grasp the nitty-gritty and deliver a comprehensive plan tailored to your goal. ๐โโ๏ธ๐
Besides these prompt upgrades, remember: AI loves clarity! Here are some extra tricks to supercharge your ChatGPT sessions:
Encourage ChatGPT to "think step-by-step" or "explain calculations in detail."
Provide clear examples of what you want and expect in return.
Ask ChatGPT to elaborate on its answers and verify its own work.
