*In-Depth Guide: Writefull — AI Writing Assistant for Academics: Research Outreach offers a helpful look at Writefull in this piece — an AI writing assistant specially designed for academic work.
The software bills itself as a tool that goes well beyond solutions offered by other grammar checkers.
Instead, its highly complex algorithms are designed to offer a full array of language feedback – covering everything from wording, syntax, and grammar – and catering specifically to the academic community.
Observes Hilde van Zeeland, an applied linguist at Writefull: “The output of any AI-driven model depends on the data it’s been trained on.
“In Writefull’s case, we trained the algorithms on scientific and technical content only — the training data consists of peer-reviewed Open Access articles.
“Thanks to this focused dataset, the models now give language feedback that is appropriate to scientific writing.”
*New AI Assistant for Academic Writing Released: Wordvice Editing Service has released a new grammar checker and proofreader that caters to academic writers.
The tool identifies errors in grammar, spelling, capitalization and punctuation.
And it also corrects clarity, word choice, and other style issues found in research texts and in everyday writing.
Observes Wordvice CEO Jonghwan Lee: “We designed Wordvice AI for authors who might want real-time feedback when drafting their research papers or essays, but who would also benefit from revision by a professional editor before submitting their work.”
*Updated Version of Meeting Summarizer Released: Sembly AI has released a new version of its meeting summarizer — Sembly Professional — which works with Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet.
Key features of Sembly Professional include:
~Glance View: This tool produces a topical digest of any meeting, including key topics discussed and main outcomes reached
~Automatic Phrase Recognition: In the package’s ‘Key Items’ tab, Sembly Pro users can find a list of actions, issues, requirements, and other items that are detected automatically
~Sembly users can also convert import discussion points into follow-up tickets and tasks
*Propaganda As A Service: Courtesy AI?: Kyle Wiggers, a writer for VentureBeat warns that a darker use for AI-generated writing — automated propaganda — could be on its way.
Specifically, a new study from Cornell University finds that automated writers running on the supercomputer-driven GPT-3 text engine can be easily modified to produce targeted propaganda — “spinning text in any way that a malicious creator wants.”
Potential nefarious uses include fake versions of news summaries, cybersecurity alerts, election coverage, medical advice and legal advice — as well as blog posts designed to radicalize readers.
*Automated Contracts: An Overview: Artificial Lawyer offers an excellent overview on the use of automated contracts powered by AI in this piece.
Currently, automated sales contracts are the most popular powered by artificial intelligence, followed by employment contracts, non-disclosure agreements and data processing agreements.
Observes AL: “The drivers behind this are not legal issues primarily, but good old-fashioned demand for efficiency, with 93% reporting ‘saved time’ as the main reason to automate.”
*United Robots’ Plants First Footprint in North America: Sweden’s biggest AI-generated writing firm United Robots has established its first beachhead in North America.
Canada’s Brunswick News is now using United Robots’ tech to auto-generate news stories on two junior ice hockey leagues — complete with graphics and team logos.
Observes Jackson Doughart, editor-in-chief, Brunswick News: “We are excited to collaborate on hockey match reports, which will add value to our subscribers and bring a greater quantity and quality of sports coverage.”
*AI and Journalism: A Snapshot from Editor & Publisher: Any time one of the world’s oldest journalism magazines weighs in on AI and journalism, most editors and writers can’t help but look.
With this piece, Editor & Publisher notes AI-powered journalism is invigorating — and a bit ominous.
Observes Jeremy Gilbert, director of strategic initiatives, The Washington Post: “I think there are a lot of different, pretty interesting things we can do with AI — and it runs the gamut from tools that assist humans with their reporting to algorithms that actually tell stories directly from data.”
Cautions Editor & Publisher writer Rob Tornoe: “What happens when robots are deployed by less-than-savory owners already willing to trade human capital to pad the bottom line? Sadly, I don’t think we need a robot to write that story.”
*Text Ingesters/Summarizers: An Overview: Infoworld offers an excellent primer on software designed to ingest and summarize text created by tech leaders Amazon, Microsoft and Google.
Featured is a look at Amazon Textract, Microsoft’s Azure Form Recognizer and Google Document AI.
All three tools are commonly used to ingest and summarize text lifted from financial documents, contracts, driver licenses and passports.
*AI Big Picture: 84% of Americans Have No Real Understanding of AI: The stereotypical view of the average American as intellectually uncurious sadly extends to artificial intelligence, according to this piece in GeekWire.
Specifically: A new study finds that 84% of Americans are mostly ignorant when it comes to AI.
The solution, according to the study’s authors, is education — continued exposure to AI from middle school through high school graduation.
“We need a systematic way to distribute information at scale,” the researchers add.
