-How is it that data came to overtake rules based AI?
-The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Data - Scientists and Humanists alike looked for a simple theory. Turns out data won over rules if used on a big enough scale. Which is how AI is built. It wasn’t about rules and structure. It was about data and its analysis. Particularly data at scale like at Google, Amazon or Netflix have.
How did we get here?

OpenAI changes policy to allow military applications
OpenAI has recently updated its usage policy to allow for military applications of its technologies. Previously, the policy prohibited the use of its products for "military and warfare" purposes, but this restriction has been removed in an unannounced update. The change appears to have gone live on January 10, 2024. The removal of "military and warfare" from OpenAI's prohibited uses suggests that the company is now open to serving military customers
The company's updated usage policy now includes a more generic ban on using its services to “harm yourself or others” It's important to note that while OpenAI has softened its stance on military use, it still maintains policies against illegal activities and harmful content
The US military has been exploring how to use generative AI, and this policy change could potentially open up new avenues for collaboration. However, it's crucial to remember that any use of AI in military contexts would still need to adhere to ethical guidelines and international law….
