An innovative experiment is set to begin at OFF Radio Kraków, aimed at exploring the profound implications of artificial intelligence (AI) on various facets of society, including culture, media, and journalism. The initiative will debut on Tuesday, October 22nd, at 8:00 AM.

This groundbreaking project seeks to determine whether AI represents an opportunity or a threat within the media landscape. The team behind this initiative emphasizes engaging with the challenges of communication in the age of AI directly through a series of broadcasts on both OFF Radio Kraków and its cultural channel. The programming is particularly tailored for Generation Z, addressing their interests and concerns regarding how AI shapes information consumption.

Some highlights from the article:

"Microsoft is introducing autonomous artificial intelligence agents, or virtual employees, that can perform tasks such as handling client queries and identifying sales leads"

"The US tech company is giving customers the ability to build their own AI agents as well as releasing 10 off-the-shelf bots that can carry out a range of roles including supply chain management and customer service."

"Early adopters of the Copilot Studio product, which launches next month, include the blue chip consulting firm McKinsey, which is building an agent to process new client inquiries by carrying out tasks such as scheduling follow-up meetings. Other early users include law firm Clifford Chance and retailer Pets at Home."

"Microsoft is flagging AI agents, which carry out tasks without human intervention, as an example of the technology’s ability to increase productivity – a measure of economic efficiency, or the amount of output generated by a worker for each hour worked."

"Nadella described Copilot Studio, which does not require coding expertise from its users, as a “no-code way for you to be able to build agents”. Microsoft is powering the agents with several AI models developed in-house and by OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT."

"Microsoft is also developing an AI agent that can carry out transactions on behalf of users. The company’s head of AI, Mustafa Suleyman, has said he has seen “stunning demos” where the agent makes a purchase independently, but that it has also suffered “car crash moments” in development. Sulyeman added, nonetheless, that an agent with these capabilities will emerge “in quarters, not years”."

This isn't really a technical source who wrote the article, but it makes me curious how deep/far the "agency" of these agents really is...

Also, I additionally wonder if MS is simply using chatGPT tech like 4o in their own wrapper tool, or if this functionality is coming more directly from OpenAI as some agent-like model we havent seen yet. I'm guessing the former, but still, by now we have to safely assume that GPT-5 is slated to be a substantial leap forward, not just "better GPT-4", which means it will most likely have this kind of capability out of the box when it comes out... just speculation on my part.

Last week my post about an AI video quiz in r/artificial got a decent number of upvotes and comments so I thought it might be interesting to y'all to read a writeup of the results. For context, the quiz has 10 videos that tests whether someone can guess whether or not a video is real or artificially generated. When I posted the quiz initially I got a bunch of comments about how simple the quiz was. I'll copy one of the comments from the original thread here:

I guess the quiz was pretty laughably easy?

A lot of the comments made it seem like the quiz was too easy. But I went through and actually analyzed the data of all the users who took the quiz (only looking at people who answered all 10 questions) and here are some of the initial findings:

Only 6.7% of people answered all 10 questions correctly.

11% answered 9/10.

The most common score was 6/10, which 22% of people got.

Warning, spoilers below in case you want to try the quiz first.

The hardest videos for people to answer correctly were the initial Trump video where he talks about his coin, the video of Tom Cruise at the Producer's Guild Awards, and the video of Mark Zuckerberg at the Harvard commencement. On the Tom Cruise and Zuckerberg videos, the results were essentially split evenly 50-50 between answering if the videos were real or fake.

Despite what people in the sub might comment, it seems like the actual data shows that it's not as easy as it might seem to tell the difference between a real video and an AI generated one. Just wanted to post this as I felt like it's pertinent, especially in the context of the upcoming election, just to be aware that these types of videos are possible, and not everyone is going to be able to see the subtleties and differentiate reality from falsehoods.

Original Title: Ilya Sutskever says predicting the next word leads to real understanding. For example, say you read a detective novel, and on the last page, the detective says "I am going to reveal the identity of the criminal, and that person's name is _____." ... predict that word.
