With AI into the future

Some paraphrase it as, "...the horses are out of the stable"*1, others feel “as if they have seen God”*1. If I had to come up with a metaphor, I would say: The dam broke. AI has entered a new dimension. The ChatGPT-4 update from Open AI paved the way.


Edge computing connects the operational level with IT


The possibilities of the new ChatGPT technology are practical limitless: Imagine having an artificially intelligent assistant that helps your customers complete their tasks 4/XNUMX. With ChatGPT-XNUMX, you can now create conversational bots with near-human accuracy tailored to your users' needs or interests. Additionally, AI takes context into account when answering questions and ensures answers are relevant and correct. We take you on the AI ​​development journey and keep you up to date with the following topics:

Elon Musk is suing ChatGPT for profit-making

March 01.03.2024, XNUMX | Elon Musk files lawsuit against OpenAI and its managing directors Sam altman and accuses them of breach of contract. Originally conceived as a non-profit company, the aim was to develop artificial intelligence (AI) technologies for the benefit of humanity.

However, Elon Musk, one of the company's founders, now claims that it has been oriented towards profit, which goes against the original agreements violates. In 2018, Musk left the company.

ChatGPT became one of the fastest growing software in the world by the end of 2022. This also attracted investors like Microsoft an, today one of ChatGPT's largest investors. The lawsuit states that Microsoft in particular now benefits from the profit orientation.

In 2023 the New York Times legal action has been taken against OpenAI. She accuses OpenAI of copyright infringement by using millions of data from newspaper articles to develop its ChatGPT model.

According to a report from Bloomberg Jason Kwon, strategy manager at OpenAI, in an internal email to employees contradicted Elon Musk's claim that Microsoft has control over OpenAI. Kwon emphasized that according to OpenAI's internal policies, Microsoft is not allowed to have access to the company's general artificial intelligence technologies.

First comprehensive legal framework for AI in the world

09.12.2023/XNUMX/XNUMX | After long negotiations, the European legislators, the European Parliament and the Council of the EU agreed last night on the Law on Artificial Intelligence politically united.

Risk-based approach

The new rules will be applied in all Member States based on a future-proof definition of AI. They follow these risk-based approaches:

  • Minimal risk applies to the vast majority of AI systems. These include AI-supported recommendation systems and spam filters. You will benefit from a free pass and lack of commitments because they are minimal to no risk.
  • High risk record AI systems for e.g. B. critical infrastructure such as water, gas or electricity. They must meet strict requirements such as risk mitigation, data recording and high security standards, with regulatory sandboxes designed to encourage responsible innovation and compliance.
  • Unacceptable risk represent AI systems that pose a threat to fundamental rights. These include systems that manipulate human behavior, promote dangerous behavior or use biometric systems in certain contexts. The use of artificial intelligence is prohibited here.
  • Transparency risk arises when using AI systems such as chatbots. Here it should be clear to the user that they are interacting with a machine. Deep fakes and other AI-generated content should be clearly labeled, as should biometric categorization or emotion recognition systems. Providers must ensure that synthetic content is identifiable as artificially created or manipulated in machine-readable formats.

Penalties, General Purposes, AI Office

Companies that do not comply with the regulations must comply fines calculate. The AI ​​Act also introduces specific regulations for general-purpose AI models. These will ensure transparency along the value chain.

While the relevant national market surveillance authorities monitor the implementation of the new regulations at national level, the establishment of a new European one AI offices ensure coordination at European level within the European Commission. Together with national market regulators, the Artificial Intelligence Office will be the first body in the world to enforce mandatory artificial intelligence regulations.

AI agreement to protect against misuse

27.11.2023 | 18 countries, including Germany and the USA, have an important international agreement on Security of artificial intelligence  decided. This agreement, recorded in a 20-page document. It aims to implement stricter controls on AI providers. The agreement emphasizes the need for companies developing and applying AI technologies to do so in a way that protects customers and the public from potential misuse. This agreement underlines the global commitment to make AI developments responsible and safe.

Jen easterly Director of the US Cybersecurity Agency told Reuters: "This is the first time we see confirmation that it shouldn't just be about cool features and how quickly we can bring them to market."

Although the agreement contains mostly general recommendations and not binding is, it represents significant progress. The recommendations emphasize the need to monitor AI systems for misuse, protect data from manipulation and check software providers. This initiative reflects the growing global push to responsibly influence the development of AI, with Europe pursuing stricter regulations than the United States.

France, Germany and Italy recently agreed on how artificial intelligence should be regulated with binding self-regulation through codes of conduct for so-called AI basic models.

Interview with a chatbot

The editor-in-chief of Computer-Bild Dirk General Kuchel conducted an interview with the AI, which answered the questions of many. Look for yourself:

 

Bill Gates and the Age of AI

It will probably be different for Microsoft founder Bill Gates, who also something groundbreaking is coming our way sees what certainly does not exceed his imagination. In a post on his blog*2 he writes that, in his opinion, the invention of AI is tantamount to the invention of microprocessors, computers, the Internet and mobile phones. It will change how people work, learn or receive health care and how they communicate with each other. The industry will also have to reorient itself. During a visit to Open AI, he gave the team the task of training an artificial intelligence to pass a biology exam. She shouldn't be trained for it. After a few months, the AI ​​had given such a high score on the exam that it surpassed the performance of students in most cases.

Which text generators write AI texts?

Today there are many different software solutions that can create AI texts. Most of these tools are based on Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing to generate powerful natural language texts. Some of the most popular AI text generators are OpenAI GPT-3 (now ChatGPT-4 in beta), IBM Watson Natural Language Generation and Google Cloud Natural Language. These tools provide a simplified way to create text in natural languages ​​and translate complex information into simple formats.

What is ChatGPT-4?



ChatGPT-4 is the latest software update of Open AI, a conversational AI model capable of human-like conversations. This revolutionary new AI chatbot is able to handle conversations with an unprecedented level of accuracy and understanding. Open AI has outdone itself with this update. ChatGPT-4 responds to questions and conversations with an unprecedented precision and accuracy comparable to that of humans. This level of sophistication has never been reached before and will revolutionize how AI is used in the future.

What improvements does ChatGPT-4 offer versus ChatGPT-3?

ChatGPT-4 offers numerous improvements and innovations compared to the previous version. One of the most important improvements is the ability to understand conversations at a deeper level of meaning. ChatGPT-4 can not only interpret the text of a question or statement, but also takes into account the context and the user intentions.

Complex, layered answers: Another significant advancement of ChatGPT-4 is its ability to answer complex and multi-layered questions. ChatGPT-3 was already able to answer simple questions with high accuracy. However, the model often failed for more complex questions that required more extensive research. ChatGPT-4, on the other hand, also understands more demanding questions and finds answers independently. An example of this could be a question about the cause of climate change or about the effects of Plastic waste on the environment.

Multitasking Ability: Another major advance is support for intelligent multitasking. ChatGPT-4 allows users to have multiple conversations or ask multiple questions at the same time. The software easily differentiates between the different topics and contexts and reacts accordingly. This is particularly useful for companies or public institutions that need to communicate with a large number of customers or users.

Improved speech processing: In addition, ChatGPT-4 also offers improved human-like speech processing. The model is now able to speak more naturally and fluently, mimicking human sentence patterns and idioms, and can even understand and reproduce humor. This will make communication with the model much more pleasant and effective.


Step by step into the digital transformation


All these improvements make ChatGPT-4 one groundbreakingen AI model that will revolutionize the way we interact with AI. But where there is light, there is always shadow. And suddenly some tech giants, who previously pushed development, are going too fast with artificial intelligence.

Open letter: stop artificial intelligence now

Tesla founder Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak demanded in an open letter last week, along with well over 1000 other technology experts, to stop AI development. At first I thought that this information itself was subject to an AI fake. Musk & Co. suddenly discover that AI also harbors great risks. Not news to me, but apparently these tech giants are now afraid that ensuring the necessary security and truthfulness is currently not keeping pace with the development of AI itself. In their appeal, they fear that poorly programmed AI systems can make automatic decisions without being adequately monitored or regulated. They also stressed that government agencies need to be more aware of the dangers of AI applications.

How the AI ​​arrives in production

02.06.2023 | dr Lucian Dold, General Manager Tactis and Operations Global Account Management Omron, provided information on the status of artificial intelligence in industry in a specialist lecture at the specialist press days in Karlsruhe. He presented practical examples and gave advice on the productive use of AI technology.

 

AI against skills shortage

How smart are today Robot and technologies in the production-related areas of industrial manufacturing? Many solutions appear to be advanced, but are often limited because they deterministically deliver what they were designed to do. As soon as something unexpected or unusual happens, they quickly reach their systemic limits. Unplanned shutdowns and so-called Micro stoppages are the biggest efficiency killers.

Well-trained employees are required to rectify such errors and repair a machine. But the Skills shortage is present and therefore such experts are more in demand than ever. In order to counter this development, machines must become increasingly intelligent and autonomous, including with AI. AI is considered a key technology. So far, however, too few industrial companies have used their potential. However, more and more tools and advances are making AI accessible and user-friendly.

Production AI rather in the niche


Technology giants such as Google or Amazon have been using AI extensively for some time and are thus securing themselves considerable amounts competitive advantages. In industry, the situation has been different so far. Controlling AI-based systems requires know-how and the expertise of professionals who know exactly what they are doing. For this reason, AI has so far only been used in niche applications where the initial costs can be justified by the benefits.

Developers are increasingly focusing on systems that can figure out on their own why they stopped or why a problem occurred. sensors can machine operators show, for example, that a packaging machine for cardboard boxes is missing blanks. However, you cannot find out if the paper density is out of tolerance. That's why sensors alone are not enough. Additional AI is required to achieve true systemic autonomy. Using intelligent algorithms, machines can perform sophisticated analyzes that are comparable to the function of the autonomic nervous system.

Start with small projects

But why are there only a few AI applications in industrial practice, despite the advantages? Firstly because of the general application of AI and secondly, many do not even know how to deal with the complex amounts of data that a general approach generated. Companies should therefore ask themselves what problem they want to solve or what improvements they want to achieve in order to successfully implement AI in their operations.

In order to achieve benefits, relevant data should be collected and stored in a synchronized manner without losing information. The one that follows Intelligent Data Analysis generates the added value. Companies are now asking Omron specifically how AI can help with quality control, predictive maintenance or process optimization. AI is now an enabler that enables improvements and simplifications.

AI can make machines and employees smarter. The experienced employee trains the machine and the machine trains the inexperienced employee. Omron investigates AI controlled machines, which require operators to assemble products and comprehensively document work steps as well as methods and work techniques. AI control can be used to control which actions an employee should carry out on the machine in order to avoid errors. If the employee controls the machine incorrectly, an alarm is triggered and a recommendation is displayed.

scale AI

Effective scaling is essential to the long-term success of any business. With a technical solution and service portfolio that is designed to scale, digitally advanced companies can make optimal use of AI, for example in identifying and training best practices, monitoring operating conditions or predicting errors. The Key to success is to start small and become familiar with AI step by step - for more competitiveness and efficiency.

AI-assisted visual inspection

02.06.2023/XNUMX/XNUMX | A new component of augmented reality (AR) Vuforia by PTC now supports and simplifies visual inspection in production. The module called Step Check guides employees step by step through the inspection with context-sensitive work instructions.

The step check the instructions are printed on the physical product to be inspected, while the artificial intelligence detects improper assembly, missing or misaligned parts and similar errors. With color-coded graphics displayed in real-time on the part or product in question, workers can quickly see if this inspection step has passed. Step Check automatically documents the test results and creates dashboards to analyze the tests carried out.

The AI model is trained in two ways: through 3D CAD models of the parts or products to be tested and through examples of passed or failed tests. The AI ​​models learn from the decisions of the employees and continuously improve the results. Thanks to Vuforia's computer vision capabilities, Step Check is able to recognize things like stickers or labels that are not included in the 3D CAD models.

As part of the SaaS AR solution Vuforia Expert Capture Step Check With AI focuses on one of the most important phases of the manufacturing process: visual inspection in quality control. During this process, employees assess whether a part, component or product has been manufactured or assembled correctly and is in working order. Traditionally, these checks are performed with the naked eye and paper-based documentation. This puts pressure on employees to make decisions quickly and increases the risk of errors and rework.

Artificial intelligence for smart intralogistics

15.05.2023/XNUMX/XNUMX | Science fiction was yesterday. Intralogistics today offers concrete applications for artificial intelligence. Under the motto "With TUP.AI to the Smart Warehouse", Mathias Thomas, Managing Director of TUP, and Arvin Arora, Managing Director of AIM, gave a lecture at the Logimat about the integration and potential of AI systems in the warehouse. The two experts shed light on the practical AI application, in which processes for article placement, route and packing optimization as well as resource and personnel planning can be made more efficient.

“Intralogistics combines all the prerequisites for the profitable use of artificial intelligence. Machine learning can quickly and independently analyze the incredibly large amounts of data generated in warehouse operations, filtering out information that remains hidden from even the most experienced warehouse manager. With this in-depth look at the processes, the AI ​​can make forecasts for future developments. The pattern recognition acts like a detector for previously hidden optimization potential,” characterizes it Matthew Thomas, TUP Managing Director the central motives behind the use of AI.

Arvin Arora, Managing Director of AIM, adds with regard to the collaboratively developed AI, which is to be established in intralogistics under the label TUP.AI: "TUP's know-how for highly efficient warehouse operations and our ability to implement complex AI solutions via a plug-and -Play approach, quickly make our customers' warehouse processes smarter and therefore much more attractive from the point of view of economic indicators. In the future, data-driven insights and forecasts will become typical for the warehouse management system TUP.WMS.”

They put three in particular intralogistics use cases before: Personnel and resource planning, warehouse control and packing optimization. AI methods can help with many organizational and operational tasks - from the forward-looking deployment of specialists at peak times to route optimization in the warehouse to the best possible allocation of packing locations on load carriers. "Thanks to the use of artificial intelligence, more added value is created in warehousing," emphasized Mathias Thomas.

IBM sees AI as the opportunity of a lifetime

18.08.2023/XNUMX/XNUMX | Today, CNBC has two IBM officials comment on the status of artificial intelligence in the form of a large banderole at the top of the website. They refer to the new IBM Institute for Business Value CEO study. Rob Thomas, IBM's senior vice president of software and chief commercial officer, sees the current "Netscape moment" as "the opportunity of a lifetime." Kareem Yusuf, Ph.D., senior vice president, product management & growth at IBM Software, says there will be a "shift towards AI-first companies" in every industry.

The new IBM study

The IBM Institute for Business Value CEO study found that the global skills gap is real and growing. The executives surveyed estimate that 40% of their workforce need to retrain over the next three years due to the implementation of AI and automation.

Statistics of the World bank according to this, that could be 1,4 billion of the 3,4 billion people in the global labor force. Respondents also report that building new skills for existing employees is a top talent problem. 77 percent of executives surveyed say entry-level positions are already feeling the impact of generative AI and that this impact will increase over the next few years. Only 22% of respondents say the same for managerial positions.

Artificial intelligence can help open up more opportunities for employees by improving their skills. 87% of managers surveyed believe that employees are more likely to follow through generative Artificial intelligence expands rather than replaces. However, this varies depending on the function: 97% of managers are of the opinion that employees in purchasing are more likely to be strengthened than replaced, in the risk and compliance area this is 93%, in the finance area 93%, in customer service 77% and in marketing 73% %.

Artificial intelligence and its Netscape moment

Rob Thomas compares artificial intelligence to Netscape because he thinks it will do for companies what Netscape once did for the Internet. The use of AI has doubled since 2017. Foundation models are becoming more accessible, allowing companies to quickly revolutionize the way they work using AI.

According to the IBM study, 41% of IT professionals are researching generative artificial intelligence, while 27% are already actively using it. This is also advisable, as AI interfaces will soon be present in all applications. This will fundamentally change the way companies work.

companies would from +KI to AI-first change. While in the past they have focused on running the core business and thinking about how automation and analytics could improve an existing process, now there is an opportunity to fundamentally rethink the way work gets done. This will make the difference between leading or lagging in our industry.

Artificial intelligence will fundamentally change every part of the way we work to an unprecedented extent. In some cases, the cost of expertise would now be zero. 

Just on the cusp of a once in a lifetime opportunity, the exciting results we are seeing from AI today would only be the beginning. When leaders start basic models into their businesses, it's time to start thinking about applications, speed to value and how to ensure results can be trusted.

FAQ

What is artificial intelligence?

Definition of the Artificial intelligence: The term Artificial intelligence, narrow. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a collective term for technologies that enable machines to perform and solve tasks like humans do. These artificial intelligence technologies come from various areas of computer science and science, including machine learning, computer-aided logical problem solving and pattern recognition. AI systems are suitable for many areas of application such as automotive control; automated customer service, for diagnosing medical images, natural language processing or robotics.

How does artificial intelligence work?

Artificial intelligence is an area of ​​computer science that focuses on the development of algorithms and systems that enable machines to acquire human-like cognitive abilities such as learning, problem-solving, and decision-making. Artificial intelligence works by processing large amounts of data and recognizing patterns or connections in this data. By using techniques such as machine learning and neural networks, one can Artificial intelligence learn from these patterns and improve their performance over time. This enables AI systems to handle complex tasks and develop human-like skills in various application areas such as speech recognition, image recognition and autonomous driving.

What is generative AI?

Generative AI is a form of artificial intelligence that is able to independently generate new content. It is based on neural networks that are trained on large amounts of data. These networks learn to recognize patterns and connections in the data and can then independently create new content that resembles these patterns. An example of this is a text generator that is able to write articles or stories. Generative AI has the potential to impact many areas of life and work, from art to medicine and business.

What will AI never be able to do?

Artificial intelligence is a fascinating concept that has long been considered pure SF was true, but is now becoming more and more part of our everyday lives. Despite the impressive advances in artificial intelligence (AI), there are some aspects that artificial intelligence will probably never achieve. First and foremost, this includes human consciousness and the ability to feel genuine emotions and empathy. AI systems are ultimately up Algorithms and Data while human experiences and emotions are rooted on a deeper level. Furthermore, can Artificial intelligence Creative thinking and problem solving may not be able to do as well as humans do because it relies on predefined patterns and rules. Finally, it is unlikely that artificial intelligence will ever have the same moral and ethical judgment as humans, as such decisions are often based on subjective experiences, cultural values ​​and personal beliefs that AI systems lack.

Where can you find artificial intelligence in everyday life?

Artificial intelligence (AI) has increasingly found its way into our everyday lives in recent years and is present in a large number of applications and technologies. language assistants like Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant Artificial intelligenceto understand and respond to voice commands. Personalized recommendation systems on platforms like Netflix, Spotify or Amazon use AI algorithms to analyze our tastes and preferences and make appropriate suggestions. AI-powered image recognition helps identify and sort photos in our smartphones and social media. Self-driving cars and intelligent transport systems also rely on artificial intelligence to offer safer and more efficient transport solutions. In addition, artificial intelligence can be found in many industrial and productionprocesses in which it contributes to the automation and optimization of workflows and production processes.

All of these examples show that artificial intelligence is already an integral part of our daily lives and plays an important role in improving technologies and services our needs vote.

What can an Artificial Intelligent Chat offer?

An artificial intelligence (AI) chat, also known as chatbot called, offers a variety of advantages and possible applications in various industries and areas. Chatbots are able to conduct human-like conversations, responding to user requests, providing information, or performing specific tasks.

For example, they can be used in customer support to answer frequently asked questions quickly and efficiently. This can reduce waiting times and relieve support staff. In the area of ​​e-commerce, chatbots can offer personalized product recommendations or simplify the ordering process. Also in Health services chatbots are used, for example by acting as virtual health assistants and providing information about symptoms, medication or treatment methods.

AI chats thus offer an efficient and cost-effective way to improve the interaction between companies and customers or users while at the same time conserving resources.

What is weak AI?

Weak AI, also referred to as narrow or specialized artificial intelligence, is an AI system designed to perform a specific task or limited set of tasks efficiently, without sacrificing human-like awareness or comprehensive cognitive abilities to own.

Unlike strong AI, which has the potential to achieve human-like intelligence in many different areas, weak artificial intelligence focuses on specific applications and problem solving.

Examples of weak AI are speech recognition systems, recommendation algorithms or image recognition software. These systems are very powerful in their respective fields. However, they are unable to operate outside of their specific scope or make complex, human-like decisions. Weak AI is currently the prevailing type of artificial intelligence, which is used in most real-world applications.
