Hi!

Let’s talk about parents and all the hard things that define parenting. Just kidding. That would take too long time. Instead, let’s engage in discourse on AI in educating our kids, both at school and in life. It’s not simply a matter of incorporating shiny new tools into the workshop of education, capable of consistently cranking out well adjusted, well educated kids. Rather, it’s about meticulously and intentionally weaving technology into the fabric of learning.

It's imperative for the younger generation to engage with artificial intelligence, ethically and responsibly. Though, this undertaking comes not without risks such as misinformation, privacy concerns, and ethical dilemmas. We stress that this is the most capable technology of our time, and its power is yet to be quantified, but make no mistake… artificial intelligence is very powerful. That said, power is neither inherently good or bad. 

So in this episode, we’ll be illuminating the importance of responsible AI use, especially when it comes to our children. We provide guidelines for parents in navigating through the intricate maze of risks and opportunities associated with AI, while also helping to establish a strong support framework for our kids. We’ll cover:

Education: Recognizing the pitfalls of AI responses (hallucinations and misinformation), and how to use those experiences as lessons in and of themselves to help us dive deeper into defining our understandings and pushing our creativity. 

Open Communication: Engaging in dialogues about their AI journeys, dispelling misconceptions, and nurturing a haven of reciprocal learning and understanding. This is new for everyone. Own that. 

Establish Guidelines: Boundaries are essential. In many cases, kids don’t know what they don’t know. And sometimes as parents, neither do we. But what we do have is the experience to intuit when additional caution is warranted. Craft guidelines that provide freedom within a safety net, promoting responsible usage without stifling curiosity. Use collaborative platforms to educate AND maintain the psychological safety of our kids.

As we conclude this episode, we will be taking a short break from podcasting to build out more robust AI educational materials for both parents and kids. That said, we continue to encourage you to engage with us and the broader community in sharing insights so that we can collectively demystify AI for our children to forge a path that’s both safe and enlightened.

Hi!

Hate it? Then DEBATE IT!

In this episode Kanji and Alex debate the merits, pitfalls and capabilities of AI as it relates to an article about the use of AE in the medical field.

A recent wave of concern surrounding AI-generated information reminds us that verification remains indispensable. This was made evident in the critique of a piece suggesting AI, particularly ChatGPT, could pose dangers in the medical domain. To Alex, this article seemed to be viewed through a narrow lens, tinged with bias, and provided good fodder for Kanji to poke the bear.

We discuss bias, a recurrent theme in our discourse, and how it isn't just limited to AI. The impact of technological bias is felt deeply in our digital engagements, especially search results and social media. As AI enthusiasts, advocates, and professionals, we should be tasked with and responsible for understanding the ethical implications of our tools. And education to all demographics utilizing this tech seems to be the compass directing us toward responsible and meaningful usage.

We talk about misinformation and the dangers of malpractice, echo-chambers and miseducation, as well as future developments that should be implemented in the development of ethical and responsible artificial intelligence. Included in the near term developments discussed are google’s advancement in developing knowledgable, multi-faceted analytical approaches that produce results with higher accuracy and more reliable results. Additionally, we discuss capabilities to provide a desired end result request and having AI connect all the dots.

We also warn that with advancement of capabilities comes the growth and severity of dangerous implications that can result from the misuse and misunderstanding of AI (i.e. the dangers of a knife vs. a chainsaw). Our role, then, is not just to be passive users but informed consumers, constantly learning and adapting in this dynamic digital era.

Hi!

This was supposed to be a shorter segment and I was supposed to sound better (rookie mistakes and technical difficulties) and taller (genetics)… but that’s not the case. All that said, we do get into some interesting updates on the domain of language models and AI.

What's New in Language Models

ChatGPT took the world by storm after launching last November. But there are lots of other exciting language models emerging that aim to improve on or find different niches than ChatGPT.

In this newsletter, we’ll look at some of the new players:

* Claude by Anthropic is focused on being more ethical and upbeat.

* LLaMA from Meta API driven.

Relative ‘old’ players:

* ChatGPT OpenAI improvements.

* Bard from Google improvements.

How Chatbots Compare

As you’ll hear in our podcast, ChatGPT remains the gold standard for personas and supporting/evolving existing work streams. Google’s Bard aims to provide more factual, informative responses. Claude has tighter guardrails for safety and morality and seems more creative. LLaMA claims more grounded conversations.

Each chatbot has strengths based on its data and goals, and we can expect rapid iterations as limitations are addressed.

Enhancing ChatGPT

Add-ons and plugins expand what ChatGPT can do (check out plugin.surf)

Hi!

Greetings, fellow explorers! As we embark on another compelling episode of our podcast "AI Personas," your trusted navigators, Alex and Kanji, are eager to dissect the fascinating world of AI personas in content creation. To begin, we must unravel the true essence of 'personas.' In the vast realm of AI, these personas are the crafted identities, artfully designed to produce content embodying a specific tone, style, and perspective. Their inception resides in the intersection of inventive programming, high-quality input, and expansive data. As we delve into the intricacies of these digital doppelgängers, we'll learn to shape our expectations of their potential and identify their limitations. This will provide the means to identify what good looks like and stay away from any ‘sales’ of personas based off of overly simplistic prompts that provide little detail and effectively drain your faith in the capabilities of artificial intelligence.

During our discussion, we will utilize one of our student’s utility of a detailed persona designed specifically for TikTok. Shunning traditional pathways, the student employs an innovative platform offering specialized templates, expertly tailored for distinct digital ecosystems. His story is an exemplar of the transformative potential AI personas hold, redefining the boundaries of creativity in the digital sphere. To illustrate the difference, Alex describes the utility of a similar but simplified prompt that produces suggestive but ultimately unusable information to create an inspiring post.

However, not all prompts are created equal. We spotlight the hallmarks of ineffective persona prompts, typically characterized by their ambiguity or generic nature, leading to insipid, unvaried output. Recognizing these signs allows us to harness the full potential of AI in content creation and avoid the pitfalls of mediocre prompts. In essence, we show that details matter and play a pivotal role in shaping the identity and productivity of AI personas based on what we want them to do, how they should do it and what the response format should be.

In closing, we’ll review the future of personas as well as drop intrigue and suspense around the implementation and collaboration of personas for both reactive and proactive scenarios for both internal and public facing initiatives.

Hi,

On the recent episode, ai inspired 006, we voyaged into the labyrinth that is AI regulation and moral/ethical implications discussed by Mo Gawdat (a former Google X officer working with AI and Stephen Bartlett of a Diary of a CEO podcast). We’re doing our part in response to Mo’s call to action to discuss the dangers of AI. We examined the roadblocks in our journey, each layered with complexities due to the mosaic of societal contexts - nations, communities, faiths, and governmental systems - each crafting their distinct set of challenges.

Mo Gawdat introduced an intriguing perspective - the idea of an AI tax. An 98% levy on AI-derived profits proposed to cushion those hit hardest by job losses due to automation. But does this raise the specter of companies seeking tax havens? Our discourse unfolded around this delicate balance.

We also tread on the thin ice of big tech companies applying their own restraints on AI progress. Could this pave the way for smaller players to leapfrog the tech giants, we wondered. It's a multi-dimensional issue that underlines the need for broad public discourse, all the more reason for our collective engagement, and this podcast.

We shed light on the poignant words of a former GoogleX executive, and his warning tale highlights the pressing need to confront the swift metamorphosis of AI.

Shifting gears, we pondered the potential of AI in classrooms. The ChatGPT plugin's innovative approach to facilitating student engagement captivated us. But the educational arena isn't all sunshine and rainbows; we acknowledged the presence of skepticism. Until AI gains full endorsement, we passionately advocate for collective effort to expose our children to the transformative power of AI in a responsible and ethical manner.

We underscored the vast spectrum of individuals in the present day AI ecosphere, from doomsday preachers and utopian dreamers to the playfully curious and charlatans. We warned against pseudo-experts peddling substandard AI prompts and stressed on empowering children with more than just basic AI skills - action with reason, thoughtfulness, care and compassion.

Thank you for standing with us, AI Inspired. Together, we can navigate this AI maze, shed light on the unexplored, and chart a course for a prosperous future for humanity, the environment and this crazy world we cohabitate.
