Generative AI blurs the line between human-produced and AI-proposed content. (Representational image) ChatGPT, like the 90s character Vicki from "Small Wonder," uses AI to process and convert information into knowledge. While offering great opportunities, it also has potential harm, making regulation crucial to minimise risk. Inaccuracy, Biased Outcomes AI is prone to biased outcomes. Generative AI as a predictive tool is trained using a massive amount of data to provide a human-like response and critical thinking. However, there is less clarity on the integrity, quality, and diversity of the data used for training their language models. The premise of using past datasets to predict future outcomes is concerning, as these applications will be prone to reproduce the same mistakes and patterns in future, causing real-life implications for humans. For instance, training data of ChatGPT goes only until 2021, and if any individual has exercised their right to be forgotten … [Read more...] about Regulation of generative AI like ChatGPT and Bard mustn’t hinder their growth

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline: As the coronavirus continues to take a toll on markets and business activity, top banks on Wall Street have further revised down their forecasts for second-quarter GDP and unemployment, predicting an even greater economic hit from the coronavirus than first expected. JPMorgan was the latest big bank to cut its second-quarter GDP forecast even more, with its economists now foreseeing a 40% decline. The bank had earlier predicted a 25% hit to second-quarter GDP.

Inside the chaos at Synapse, where questionable management tactics by CEO Sankaet Pathak have left the company with its future in jeopardy. I n July 2019, the 29-year-old CEO of San Francisco financial technology startup Synapse scolded five of his engineers for not making faster progress. “Do you even enjoy this project?” Sankaet Pathak asked. “Not really,” the team’s leader answered. “That’s it, you’re out,” Pathak declared, firing the employee on the spot in front of his colleagues. Synapse’s Human Resources director, Juan Aguayo, confiscated the terminated worker’s key card and computer. But as Aguayo spoke, he received a message on his laptop, and his tone started to change. Minutes later, he said to the engineer, who was now crying, “Don’t worry, you’re not fired.” The dazed, confused employee went back to his desk. Pathak never spoke to him about the incident again, acting like it never happened.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin OBSERVATIONS FROM THE FINTECH SNARK TANK 2021: The Year of Value Chain Disruption I’ve never been a big fan of “Year of the [fill-in-the-blank]” proclamations. Google the term “year of the customer” and you’ll find that every year for the past 15 years has been heralded as the year of the customer. Hey, one year it might just really happen. And past claims of “disruption” in financial services have centered on changes at the customer interaction level—i.e., digital account applications, user interfaces, etc. That didn’t really result in much true disruption because there is a whole value chain of activities that occur leading up to the point of customer interaction—and little of that has changed to date. Changes (or disruptions) to the value chain have certainly been in the works for a while now, but 2021 is going to shine a much brighter spotlight on those activities—making 2021 the year of value chain … [Read more...] about Top 5 Banking And Fintech Trends For 2021
