Time for the ‘sauce’, or overview on AI apps we’ve been trying out, that may be useful to you!

Today’s apple: Ask Writer

A lot of us are dealing with information overload. You might come across several articles or blog posts in a given day or week that you bookmark to read when you get some time. But, extra time seldom presents itself. Here’s a tool to help you get the gist of the articles or long-form content you wish to read.

Ask Writer for Summarizing Articles

The Ask Writer app is similar to ChatGPT, but instead of the GPT AI models, Writer’s model, called Palmyra, powers this app. Ask Writer has several uses, but today, I’d like to highlight its article summarizing capabilities. If you have news articles or blog posts you are interested in, this is a quick and easy tool that provides summaries, so you can get the gist of them without too much time investment. The perk: there’s no need to write a prompt.

There are many AI tools to summarize documents, articles, and other content, but this one is accessible, easy, and free. The summaries are good enough to get the gist of an article, but I recommend a quick review and edits before sharing further.

This week, U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer hosted the second AI Insight Forum to discuss AI innovation with leaders from the technology industry, academia, and civil society groups.

What I would like to talk about today, however, is a piece of legislation introduced on the U.S. Senate floor this past week: the AI Labeling Act.

First - a little challenge. One of these images is an actual photo taken by a human, and one is AI-generated. Which one is AI-generated?

Okay, now let’s get back to the AI Labeling Act.

What is the AI Labeling Act proposed by Senator Schatz (D-Hawaii) and Senator Kennedy (R-Louisiana)?

The AI Labeling Act is a bill that would require any generative artificial intelligence system to label AI-made content such as images, video, or audio. AI-generated content can be labeled, or identified, in various ways, like text in captions or a watermark. Let’s see if you identified the AI-generated Eiffel Tower correctly.

What are some potential challenges presented by AI-generated content?

As AI-generated content looks & sounds increasingly real, it’s getting harder for people to determine whether they’re looking at something created by humans or machines. This content can be used to spread false and misleading information. There are AI tools available that can be used by people with bad intentions to create scams and lies quickly and easily.

What are some examples of misuse of AI-generated content?

Examples of misuse of AI-generated content include doctored media about world events, fake advertisements using the likenesses of celebrities to peddle products, or phone calls that replicate the voices of family members claiming to be kidnapped and needing money.

How will the AI Labeling Act help to address the challenges posed by AI-generated content?

The AI Labeling Act will require companies and AI developers to label AI-made content clearly so people know what they're looking at, watching, or listening to. This will help to prevent rampant misinformation and fraud, as people will not need to deeply investigate to find out whether something was made by AI or not.
