Alan Turing asks the fundamental question: can machines think? Turing proposes a way to answer this question: the Imitation Game. The Imitation Game, also known as the Turing Test, seeks to assess a machine’s ability to replicate behavior to that of a human. The game consists of a human “judge” that engages in conversation with…
Israel has reportedly developed new artificial intelligence technologies to gain an advantage in the War in Gaza. This article analyzes the ethical dilemmas of this new technology and the use of AI in war as a whole.

Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI (the creator of ChatGPT), had recently introduced laws to govern the use of artificial intelligence. These laws provide a vision into the future of AI that rely on three observations: “intelligence scaling with resources, decreasing usage costs, and super-exponential socioeconomic value growth”. Intelligence scaling with resources refers t o…
Cathy O’Neil poses the question: what if the algorithms that decide so many things are wrong? What if we are putting out blind faith into big data? We all use algorithms – they’re seen in everyday life. From social media to mechanical engineering and algorithmic bias, a lot concerning big data can go wrong. O’Neil…
The cover image for this post was generated by AI. The prompt “generate an image for a post describing AI art” was placed into ChatGPT, and the result was interesting. This begins to beg the question: is AI-generated art real art? The arguments for AI art: The arguments against AI art: What makes AI art…
For one woman, the answer is yes. Through using ChatGPT, this woman had found it was easy to personalize the responses from the chatbot to describe what she wanted. Imagine asking a chatbot to provide you with the emotional support of a real relationship, only to essentially (and accidentally) “fall in love” with it. She…
