What’s the future of data science and AI in an LLM world?
Osama Rahman, director of the Data Science Campus at the UK Office for National Statistics, shared his thoughts on the past, present, and future of data science at an event this week. Here are our key takeaways.
OpenAI’s text classifier won’t calm fears about AI-written homework
Educators are worried about ChatGPT being used by students for homework assignments, so OpenAI has released a tool to classify whether text is human- or AI-written. But relying on the classifier’s results is ill-advised, as some basic statistics shows.
