Is this the next chapter in the evolution of the web? The moon-landing moment for AI? Or… the Napster Moment?

Latest update: May 5 2023

Thanks to the recent advances in Inteligência Artificial (especificamente Aprendizagem profunda), generative models such as Dall-E2 and ChatGPT (ambos alimentados por OpenAI) can now produce unique images as well as texts with an uncanny human-like quality, often indistinguishable from what a human would have written.

Already utilised in areas such as customer service and content-writing, generative text-based AIs like ChatGPT seem poised to transform the web – and our society. Google, Baidu and Microsoft are pouring billions of dollars into OpenAI; and MSFT’s Bing is now armed with ChatGPT. 

Huge new revenue streams are emerging yet the ramifications for society are of even larger magnitude. Will generative AI be coletivamente benéfico, and will it help us achieve what O futurista Gerd Leonhard calls ‘The Good Future‘?

Tough questions about ética digital, responsibility, control and accountability are everywhere. In a world where AI language models will increasingly be used to generate news articles and social media posts, the potential for well-disguised mistakes, bias, and disinformation looms large. If we’re not careful, its pitfalls could be like social media’s – but 500x as bad. And what about those papagaios estocásticos?
