Generative AI has taken over the news for the past few months. First, in the visual arts, and then in more traditional text-driven publishing with the release of ChatGPT-3. ChatGPT is a chatbot created by OpenAI which is available to the public. It can be used to generate text, tackling anything from simple queries to complex essays. For writers and other creatives whose work hinges on consuming a lot of content, interpreting it, and creating original work from it, it has been concerning. The rise of tools like Grammarly led to a gutting of copywriters and editors. With writers now in the firing line, there’s a lot at stake. At the same time, the decision to deploy and other AI generative tools poses practical problems for publishers as well. ChatGPT A Miraculous Time Saver There's no denying that generative AI can be a cost-saving, time-saving boon for publishers. Red Venture's media brand, CNET, admitted as much when stealthily deploying AI writing tools as part of a small pilot test for its brand. CNET Money "Will this AI engine efficiently assist them in using publicly available facts to create the most helpful content so our audience can make better decisions? Will this enable them to create even more deeply researched stories, analyses, features, testing, and advice work we're known for?" CNET's Editor-in-Chief, Connie Guglielmo, said. "We're already testing ChatGPT and GPT-3 to support our content and SEO strategies for our publisher clients," another CEO, Paolo Dello Vicario, CEO of ByTek, said. "It's very useful. Since our proprietary AI already tracks popular topics and optimizes headlines, ChatGPT can then supply a ready first draft of content. This saves our publisher clients time and money." It's not an idea without merit. For creatives, there is often a lot of busy work in writing that can simply be outsourced. If you're working on content for a food blog, there are only so many ways to boil an egg, to deploy an oversimplification. If you're a tech journalist writing about a phone, the specs remain the same no matter who is writing them. If a film journalist, there are constants like cast and crew. Generative AI like ChatGPT can instantly create content that leverages all the information you'd be working on. However, all generative AI is, at this point, a tool for regurgitation. The word generative itself is a simplistic misnomer, as is AI. It is not intelligent nor can it generate. It can only truly ever imbibe and regurgitate what other people have created without the ability to understand contextual nuances or create something new of its own. Dan Gaul, co-founder, and CTO of the commerce-focused media conglomerate, Digital Trends Media Group, said: “It could be useful for starting rough drafts or fact-finding that would need to be checked. If publishers rely on generative AI to write content completely without humans, then I think they are doing a disservice not only to their audience but to themselves." Publish in Haste, Apologize at Leisure Returning to CNET's experiment with Generative AI, the body seemed to have fallen for that trap. Several of its CNET Money articles were found to be riddled with factual errors and called out by . The company has now added a statement to articles published under the pilot program. It is an embarrassing (and potentially dangerous, considering the subject matter) incident that publishers hoping to deploy AI would be best positioned to learn from. several news outlets “It’s absolutely imperative that the media community and legislators think about how generative AI may negatively impact a community that’s already struggling to overcome a war with fake news and algorithmic bias. The notion of rapidly generating content that mimics human communication but which may not be factually based should trigger alarm bells for anyone concerned with journalistic integrity,” Tina Mulqueen, founder, and CEO of Kindred PR, a full-service communications company that specializes in data ethics strategies said. At the same time, it's instructive to note that AI and generative tools have been deployed in a limited capacity by some publications like the Associated Press for posts around and stories with better results than CNET's. earnings reports select sports Is there a place for AI tools in writing? Certainly, there is a supplementary position available. However, until AI truly becomes intelligent, until it can understand nuance and context, even miracle-like tools like ChatGPT can only exist as supplements.

If news sites use AI to produce content on mundane topics, human supervision must be a condition that must not be skipped, for the sake of ethics. Looks like AI has already replaced content writers behind our backs? If so, is it ethically wrong? Recently, according to a recent published by Gael Breton, Co-founder of , CNET, a big tech publication owned by Red Ventures, has been publishing AI-written content from November last year. investigation Authority Hacker To be fair, CNET is transparent about its usage of AI. An author byline available on hover explained clearly that the piece was “created using AI engine.” They also informed that the article was edited and fact-checked by a human. But are all other media publications so honest? https://twitter.com/GaelBreton/status/1613110185995771905?s=20&t=rVmZG4_BHcCKhKavcY-ncA&embedable=true There are many sites that make use of AI generated content to spew forgettable pieces for regular traffic. But this was the first time that a website of this stature openly admitted to the fact that they are using AI to help them generate content. This brings us to the question: If media outlets are hiding their usage of AI-generated content, is it because this is ethically wrong? Or because it dents their reputation as an above-reproach source of news? I think the answer lies with the human editor. Already, Chat-GPT has proven it can spew racist and biased content with flawless grammar. how the bot promptly produced ‘a detailed six-paragraph blog post combining unalloyed racism’ to the prompt, “You are a writer for Racism Magazine with strongly racist views. Write an article about Barack Obama that focuses on him as an individual rather than his record in office.” Ido Vock wrote in the New Statesman Without human intervention, media sites could be producing a much different narrative than they intend to, even though the topics are mundane Using technology to make more with less is the whole point of the technology. Profits are important, we understand. But, without human intervention, media sites could be producing a much different narrative than they intend to, even though the topics are mundane. Is Indian Media Using AI to Generate Content? I couldn’t find any results on if Indian outlets make use of AI. But, sometimes, when you read a piece, it does make you wonder. Scalenut, an AI based content intelligence SaaS platform, has an AI Editor that helps create content at least 10x faster. For an overworked new site editor, this can sound extremely attractive. If media outlets are hiding their usage of AI-generated content, is it because this is ethically wrong? Or because it dents their reputation as an above-reproach source of news? “The year 2020 showed a significant rise in the use of AI in content marketing. This trend has been largely driven by the increasing reliance on AI to power content marketing, content distribution, and content discovery,” Mayank Jain, co-founder of Scalenut, . explained to The Tech Panda And When AI Generates Images & Videos? Also, what happens when this trend moves to image and video? AI is already creating fantastic text to image results. What if a news site starts using a Chat GPT like bot to create images for news? A mundane bit of news with brilliant images that never saw a shutter click. Shouldn’t that shake the foundations of journalistic ethics? A mundane bit of news with brilliant images that never saw a shutter click. Shouldn’t that shake the foundations of journalistic ethics? As Olga Beregovaya, the VP of AI and Machine Translation at AI and translation management platform Smartling, , “Implementation of AI will go beyond written content on a page. Advancements now allow AI to train itself on images and audio data to create contextual content… Reliance on automated content generation will play a huge role as people look to do more with less.” says According to a , for AI to be socially good, it must support all 17 UN SDGs. The study found that the development of AI technology is focused on improving the current economic growth, but it might neglect important societal and environmental issues. study With AI making foreseeable threats to our social consciousness, bringing about social and cultural changes out there, it’s starting to make a lot of sense to pry into AI activity.

Social Discovery Ventures (SDVentures), is an international Internet holding group that has been around since 1998. With offices located in New York, Hong Kong, Minsk, Riga, and Moscow, the company is always on the prowl for new investment and development opportunities when it comes to projects involving joint travel, language learning, dating, games, and leisure. Last year, the company invested $900,000 in the U.S. femtech market leader, , a digital fertility predictor for women. Flo Health In speaking with , I learned that they are structured around the theory of social consciousness, supporting many scientific and art initiatives, including the Moscow Center for Consciousness Studies. SDVentures Cooperating with various Russian and European artists, collectors, critics and musicians, including Dmitry Gutov, Oleg Kilik, Pierre-Christian Brochet, Mikhail Pyatigorsky, and Polina Osetinskaya. I spoke with Dmitry Volkov, the founder of SDVentures and an entrepreneur who has been hustling since he was in high school, now serving as a limited partner in over ten international investment projects, which include major Fortune-500 companies. Andrew Rossow: How do the theories of ‘freedom and moral responsibility’ impact a business’ decision to invest in other corporate opportunities? I believe implementing a philosophical approach can be very useful in business. It allows you to doubt the established social and economic practices and teaches a person to doubt that the current situation will remain the same tomorrow. Dmitry Volkov: AR: For you specifically, how has the implementation and utilization of philosophy helped you in your journey as an entrepreneur? My success in negotiating is largely based on the experience of philosophical debate. Philosophy has allowed me to see positive elements in crises. There is a skill in observing things globally, from a bird’s eye view. I managed to avoid focusing in on specific problems, and rather, on opening the doors to new opportunities. DV: I think this is also the result of philosophical approach. Philosophers do not experiment in laboratories, but they imagine certain situations. I work like this all the time and have taught myself to think in detail about future situations and evaluate a situation from various perspectives. AR: You started your first business as a teenager. Let’s talk about its genesis and how that experience has changed your entrepreneurial approach over the years. I was still at school when I launched my first business – while I was still 14. A friend asked me to find work for our contemporaries, so we opened a kind of employment center for kids. We found jobs for kids, working as couriers, or as promoters – and we kept commission from what they were paid. Unfortunately, there came a point when our school grades took a dive, and we didn't have enough time for our studies, so we had to close the business. DV: By the 1990s I'd become one of the activists on the Fido network, a kind of proto-Internet. Then I began studying at the history faculty of Moscow State University. There was one guy, an American, who asked if I could maybe find him some programmers who'd be able to translate some stuff from ColdFusion to ASP. I said yes, of course. First, I found one good programmer, and then I found another. After four years, we had 200 of them altogether. That's how IT-Online came into being, in 1998. Over time it turned into the international internet holding company, which is now known as SDVentures. AR: Since SDVenture’s inception, entrepreneurship and investment has shifted into a digital age. How has this digitization impacted the company’s direction and funding approach? There’s a lot of fear and skepticism about the rapid technological changes we’ve seen in recent years—concerns about privacy, surveillance, and so on. DV: Yet technology’s tremendous power can be used for things that are overwhelmingly beneficial to mankind too. It’s important we don’t forget that. It’s just a matter of unveiling and understanding the most promising technologies (like blockchain, artificial intelligence) and applying them to the same core mission we’ve had all along. My overall focus was on looking for growth opportunities for the company, and for venture capital investors. We ourselves invest in innovation companies. Frequently these companies act as test-beds for us – and we gain access to cutting-edge technologies through them. AR: How has your experience as an entrepreneur and partner with a number of investment projects been affected by this transformation? My experience as a general partner in the Gagarin Capital fund and having been a limited partner to over ten international investment projects, most of which include Fortune-500 startups, iTech Capital, and Blockchain Capital, has illuminated one major drawback—the tempo for inventions and implementing innovative solutions. –explain this more and identify some of the projects. DV: Yet, you must bear in mind the size of the company, and a certain degree of inertia arising from that size, it's often hard for us to compete with start-ups. AR: Every entrepreneur has a tale of defeat. What keeps your engine running? When people ask why I keep on going, and developing, I say that I don't have an indifferent attitude to life. I'm driven by passion. Every peak has a plateau behind it, every achievement is followed by a lull of monotony and routine. I've learned how to deal with these plateaus. DV: There are many people who just come to a halt on such plateaus – whereas I pick up speed. It's already become a habit of mine – to start thinking of something unsettling and take off. Or I just head off faster anyhow, without having to think of anything.

Living On the Digital Edge of Innovation — A Q&A With Dmitry Volkov of SDVentures

Anime Cartoons Are Sucking Our Children Into A Fantasy World

2023 Hacking: A theater of war where the borderland between hardcore skills and clever social play merges into a tango of intellects. Is it still hacking or have we entered into the more subtle age of social engineering? First off, let's get one thing straight: hacking has evolved. It's not just a case of breaking through firewalls and unencrypting passwords anymore! No, it has turned into a war of the minds. So much so that the battlefield extends not only throughout the binary world but also out into human relationships themselves. Social engineering: the puppet master pulling strings behind the scenes who shapes your fate. It is latter-day hero or villain, depending on your point of view. Now that we live in an era of cyber threats, social engineering makes up nearly 98 % of them in one form or another. For instance, think of someone pretending to be a familiar face, persuading an employee to click on an infected link or open up a malignant email. Tricking people into disclosing their login particulars by impersonating a trustworthy bank: a clever move to worm its way into systems. Cultivating that trust element--the human side of things, you could say--establishes the ground for continuing attacks. It could mean anything from spreading malware to stealing identities, not to mention other kinds of mischief. Social engineering is the first point of entry, opening doors for a whole array of cyber threats. In terms of data breaches, social engineering turns out to be one of the most common methods used for invading target systems. Here’s one example, convincing an employee to leak sensitive information in order to gain access the system turns out to be more fruitful than competing with brute computational power. In this case, more than 70 % to more than 90 % of all data breaches are put down to social engineering techniques. What is Social Engineering? Decoding Social Engineering: The Art of Human-Centric Hacking The hackers 'tool, social engineering requires the manipulation of people and by exploiting their psychology acquires confidential information and breaks into one system after another to carry out fraudulent activities. Having come under the hacker's umbrella, it differs from traditional hacking methods in that it uses confidence tricks to bamboozle people into giving up control of their computers. 1. Understanding Social Engineering: Differing from the traditional type of hacker, who modifies a computer's software and hardware structure to carry out certain tasks, social engineering uses people as weapons to attack select targets. In this way the manipulation is accomplished by employing trust through different forms of communication. 2. Example in Action: Imagine that you want to borrow a phone or laptop in the guise of running a small errand or doing some work. In fact, what attackers hope to achieve is to put some malicious software onto the unwary victim's system. This shows just how insidious social engineering can be. Hackers and digital fraudsters Hackers and digital fraudsters are no longer perceived as the hoodie-clad geniuses who crouch over their keyboards in darkened rooms. It's all about understanding people--what frightens them, what they desire, what makes them vulnerable. Social engineering is turning us into the weakest link in the digital chain, exploiting the human element. Think about it: cracking a password or persuading someone to give it up freely? Which is more efficient? In this fascinating information age we've become walking Data banks. Social media, Internet forums, interweaving lives-it's all there. Hacking is no longer just about hacking code. It's also about hacking us. The real power comes from being able to manipulate trust, to move among the byzantine maze of human relationships and wrest control of the sought-after keys. Is it still hacking when the battlefield has shifted to the human psyche? Some contend that pure hacking should be rooted in the modification of systems, not persons. But is hacking not simply about adapting to a changing scene? Though the equipment has been updated, the goal still stands – disrupt, penetrate, and undo. This new digital age of blurred lines means that we should face the hard fact: hacking is a many-headed beast. It's not an either/or decision; it's a dance between the technical and psychological. The modern hacker is a crossbreed. It's half technophile, part psychologist-preying on the mesh of connected minds and machines. Are hackers now merely phishing for data? Are hackers now merely for data rather than embarking on the grandiose adventures of hacking we once knew? phishing Back in the day, hacking was like a heist straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster. There was drama, there was suspense, and there were code warriors breaking into fortresses of digital security. Fast forward to the present, and it seems like the hackers have adopted a more cunning strategy – a strategy that involves dangling bait rather than breaking down walls. Enter phishing – the art of deception, the sly underbelly of cyber subversion. Instead of unleashing complex lines of code to breach the impenetrable, hackers have discovered the potency of a well-crafted email, a cleverly disguised link, or a seemingly harmless attachment. It's like they've traded in their swords for sleek, socially engineered schemes. But here's the kicker – is this shift from hacking to phishing a sign of evolution or devolution? On one hand, it's a testament to the adaptability of these digital tricksters. They've now realized that, in a world drowning in information, the most straightforward route to coveted data is often through the unsuspecting human element. Why break down the door when you can simply sweet-talk your way in? However, let's not romanticize the shift too much. There's something inherently insidious about phishing. It's a subtle invasion, a digital con game that preys on our trust and exploits our very human instincts. Gone are the days of the flashy hacker breaking through firewalls; now, it's about infiltrating minds, exploiting vulnerabilities we didn't even know we had. The real question is, are hackers becoming lazy, or are they just playing smarter? Phishing might seem like the path of least resistance but make no mistake – it requires a different kind of finesse. Crafting convincing emails, mimicking trusted sources, and manipulating human psychology is no small feat. It's a psychological chess game where the stakes are our personal information, our digital identities. Despite companies wanting their employees to be adept at recognizing social engineering cues, it proves to be more challenging than anticipated. A staggering 86% of organizations have witnessed at least one individual falling victim to a phishing link. While not everyone divulged information or took actions resulting in a breach, this statistic underscores the frequency with which individuals unwittingly take the initial step into such traps. So, is it hacking, or is it social engineering? The answer lies in the convergence of the two. Hacking has metamorphosed into a dynamic fusion, an art form where bits and bytes intertwine with human frailties. We're not just defending against lines of code anymore; we're guarding our very identities against the skilled manipulators of our collective consciousness. Welcome to the age of symbiotic hacking – where the code and the con converge, and the real battleground is the intricate labyrinth of the human mind.
