AI Doesn’t Absolve You of Getting Facts Right the First Time

During the nuclear arms negotiations of the last century, Ronald Reagan famously said, "Trust, but verify." With large language models, a better maxim is, "Verify, then verify." AI may provide a citation, but the citation itself can be inaccurate, fabricated, or point to unreliable information. Read More ›

Skynet Goes Live

AI can simulate intelligence, consciousness, romance, concern, interest, curiosity, or anything else that typifies human existence. But simulations, while powerful, are still only simulations. If Mr. Dawkins can get lulled into entertaining notions of AI consciousness, all of us can. It's crucial that we get in the driver's seat with AI now so we don't get taken for a ride later.

Nothing Apocalyptic About AI, Let’s Stop the Headline Hype

Most media content about AI today read like supermarket tabloids…sensational, shallow, and often misleading. They can confuse more than they clarify. The reasons are many: clickbait incentives, genuine ignorance, and biased enthusiasm from those selling AI products. Most of the authors of these articles have never taken a foundational computer science course, have never written code, and have never run AI software. Here are a dozen tips for detecting fake and misleading articles about artificial intelligence. Read More ›

Humans Create, AI Amalgamates. Here’s Why It Matters

We're enhancing old family photos. We're getting AI-powered therapy, advice and even romance. It sure looks and sounds like AI can create, and the output is remarkable. Read More ›

Robert J. Marks Discusses the Threat of Artificial Intelligence on Fox News Radio

Robert J. Marks II recently appeared on The Fox News Rundown Podcast to discuss whether we should be concerned about any potential threat artificial intelligence may pose. "AI is not human," Marks explained. "We have a tendency to anthropomorphize it, to make it human-like, and not realizing that, of course, that AI has no understanding of what it does. It has no ability of creativity. It won't ever experience love, compassion, or empathy. It's just a computer crunching numbers." Read More ›

AI Ascends — But Not Above Its Teachers

If we consider the vast material in the U.S. Library of Congress as “intelligent,” then it becomes reasonable to classify augmented large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, GROK, and DeepSeek as intelligent as well. But if intelligence includes creativity or understanding, then neither the Library of Congress nor augmented LLMs qualify. Read More ›

DeepSeek AI Is the Competition America Needs

The success of DeepSeek, the Chinese rival to American goliaths with radically more cost-effective artificial intelligence, reveals the futility of U.S. sanctions policies. Under the Biden administration, the American government was captured by some of the world’s most ham-handed national-security socialists, while the Chinese private sector under Xi Jinping commands some of the world’s most nimble capitalists.

Is Open AI — and Chatbots in General — the Next Train Wreck?

Yesterday AI commentator Gary Marcus described OpenAI — the ChatGPT chatbot company — as a slow-motion train wreck. He was referring to yet more high-profile departure via a series of puff piece magazine covers, commenting, “From left to right that’s Ilya Sutskever (now gone, less than a year later), Greg Brockman (on leave, at least until the end of the year), CTO Mira Murati (departure just announced) and Sam Altman (fired, and then rehired).” Read More ›
