Actors are really worried about the use of AI by movie studios – they may have a point

Dominic Lees, University of Reading

Film and television actors in the US came out on strike on July 14, causing Hollywood productions to shut down. The action has also had an impact on US films shooting in the UK: director Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice 2 has “paused” and the production of Deadpool 3, filming at Pinewood Studios with stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, has been stood down.

The dispute is about remuneration for actors, very few of whom enjoy the high income of Hollywood stars. But an additional argument between the union, SAG-AFTRA, and film producers is about the use of artificial intelligence (AI). Actors are fearful of the impact of AI on their careers.

Are AI-Generated Images Biased?

David Ngure  Cybersecurity Researcher
Updated on 16th March 2023 – Artificial intelligence image generators use machine learning and mathematical algorithms to create images from a description written in natural language. With OpenAI making DALL-E available to the public, and Microsoft adding AI-image generators to products like Bing and Microsoft Edge, the technology is becoming more accessible to the general public.

ChatGPT and Generative AI Are Not Synonymous, Understand the Difference

June 7, 2023 /Technology/ — ChatGPT is a specific type of generative AI, but not all generative AI is ChatGPT. Generative AI is a broad term that refers to any type of AI that can create new content, such as text, images, or music. ChatGPT is a specific type of generative AI that is designed to generate text that is similar to human-written text.

ChatGPT is a large language model (LLM) that was created by OpenAI. LLMs are trained on massive datasets of text and code. This training allows them to learn the patterns of human language and to generate text that is similar to human-written text. ChatGPT is particularly good at generating creative text formats, like poems, code, scripts, musical pieces, email, letters, etc. Continue reading

What is Chain-of-Thought Prompting?

June 7, 2023 /Technology/ — Chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting is a method for improving the performance of large language models (LLMs) on reasoning tasks. CoT prompts encourage LLMs to explain their reasoning process by providing them with a few examples of how to do so.

CoT prompting was first introduced in the paper “Chain-of-Thought Prompting Elicits Reasoning in Large Language Models” by Wei et al. (2022). In this paper, the authors showed that CoT prompting can significantly improve the performance of LLMs on a range of reasoning tasks, including arithmetic, commonsense, and symbolic reasoning.
