Generative AI is rewriting the rules of creativity
A new study by researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and Microsoft has found that using generative AI tools - such as ChatGPT and Copilot - may be reducing our ability to think critically. The research, which surveyed 319 knowledge workers and examined 936 real-world examples of generative AI use, suggests that heavy reliance on these technologies can lead to a reduction in the mental effort needed to evaluate and verify information.
Some key figures on the state of play in early 2025
Sasha Luccioni, a prominent researcher recognised by Time magazine as one of the top 100 influential figures in AI, has recently raised concerns about the massive energy consumption of AI, especially generative models like ChatGPT and Midjourney. According to her research, these types of AI use much more energy than traditional search engines—up to 30 times more—because they don’t just pull up information; they create new content based on user input.
James Cuda, CEO of the graphics editing app Procreate, has recently stated that the company has no plans to introduce generative AI tools in its line of products. In a video posted on Procreate's official X account, Cuda publicly stated his stance on AI-generated art, saying, "I really hate generative AI. I don't like what's happening in the industry, and I don't like what it's doing to our artists."
Apple is planning to reveal its plans surrounding generative artificial intelligence (AI) later this year, according to a recent statement made by Tim Cook, CEO of Apple. The statement was made during the tech giant's annual shareholder meeting held on February 28, 2024.
The learning path guides users through a curated collection of lessons on Generative AI products and technologies.
Here is everything you need to know about this technology.
Google has announced a number of upcoming generative AI features for Google's Workspace apps, which include Google Docs, Gmail, Sheets, and Slides.
