tech.hindustantimes.comOpenAI and Arizona State University forge partnership to boost AI in education; Israel invests $2.7 mn in AI to enhance traffic safety; WHO issues ethics guidelines for advanced AI models in healthcare; Amazon's AWS to invest $15 billion in Japan for cloud computing expansion- this and more in our daily roundup. Let us take a look.
OpenAI has joined forces with Arizona State University (ASU) to extend AI applications in academia. ASU gains access to ChatGPT Enterprise, enhancing security and speed. Despite initial concerns about misuse, ASU President Michael Crow embraces AI's potential in education. OpenAI aims to amplify ChatGPT's impact in higher education through collaboration and learning from ASU's open challenge starting in February. Seemingly, data privacy is assured, with OpenAI not using ASU data for training, Reuters reported.
Israel's Ministry of Transport and Road Safety invests $2.7 million in AI initiatives for enhanced traffic safety. The first project focuses on developing an AI tool that compiles data from diverse sources, including unreported incidents and near misses, to assess road safety risks comprehensively. The second initiative aims to tackle traffic congestion by identifying optimal solutions. The system will incorporate data from police, insurance companies, hospitals, traffic cameras, weather, and more, according to an ANI report.
The World Health Organization (WHO) issues guidelines for the ethical use of large multi-modal models (LMMs), a rapidly advancing form of generative AI. With over 40 recommendations, the guidance targets governments, tech companies, and healthcare providers, emphasising responsible LMM utilisation for public health. LMMs, capable of processing various data inputs and mimicking human communication, pose potential benefits in healthcare, but proper risk management and transparency are crucial, says WHO Chief Scientist Dr. Jeremy Farrar.
