ByteDance is about to learn a painful genAI lesson – Computerworld
How closely was this intern — and most interns need more supervision than a traditional employee — monitored? If I wanted to keep financial backers happy, especially when ByeDance is under US pressure to sell the highly-lucrative TikTok, I would not want to advertise the fact that my team let this happen. Even more troubling is that this intern was…

GenAI is affecting jobs previously thought safe from automation – Computerworld
According to a new report from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), generative AI (genAI) will soon affect work areas previously considered to have a low likelihood of automation, according to The Register. Automation in the past mainly affected industrial jobs in rural areas. GenAI, on the other hand, can be used for non-routine cognitive tasks, which is expected to…

OpenAI’s SimpleQA tool for discerning genAI accuracy — right message, wrong messenger – Computerworld
OpenAI pretty much concedes this in the report: “In this work, we will sidestep the open-endedness of language models by considering only short, fact-seeking questions with a single answer. This reduction of scope is important because it makes measuring factuality much more tractable, albeit at the cost of leaving open research questions such as whether improved behavior on short-form factuality…

What if robots learned the same way genAI chatbots do? – Computerworld
There’s no question that robotics is transforming our world. Thanks to computerized machines, manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, supply chains, retail, automotive, construction, and other industries are seeing rapidly increasing efficiencies and new capabilities. One challenge with bringing new robots online is that it’s hard, expensive, and time-consuming to train them for the task at hand. Once you’ve trained them, you have…

The genAI emperor has no clothes – Computerworld
“Today’s models are really just predicting the next word in a text, he says. But they’re so good at this that they fool us. And because of their enormous memory capacity, they can seem to be reasoning, when in fact they’re merely regurgitating information they’ve already been trained on. “‘We are used to the idea that people or entities that…

Here’s how Cleary Gottlieb law firm uses genAI for pre-trial discovery and more – Computerworld
“We are very LLM agnostic, in that we’re able to look at the different tasks and see which one is right for a particular task. For image analysis, or the multimedia analysis, we’re using the latest and greatest, such as the ChatGPT Omni. It’s unique in having capabilities for drafting [client-privilege] log lines. Depending on the data, we’re shifting between…

Atlassian’s genAI assistant Rovo is now available – Computerworld
Finally, there are genAI agents that function as virtual “teammates.” The agents can be designed to generate and review marketing content, for instance, collate feedback from various sources, or streamline processes such as clearing up Jira backlogs and organizing Confluence pages. Users can also create their own Rovo Agents using a no-code text interface or Atlassian’s Forge app development platform. More than 20 pre-built…

Think data leaks are bad now? Wait until genAI supersizes them – Computerworld
3. Impose stiff punishments for Shadow AI violations. In theory, you can control contacts and data access with your key genAI partners. But if your people start feeding data into ChatGPT, Perplexity or their own account on CoPilot, they need to know that they will be discovered and that two violations mean termination. First, you need to take this request up as high as…
